On ISRAEL:
Deuteronomy 7:6
King James Version
6 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God:
the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto himself,
above all people
that are upon the face of the earth.
That's something many couldn't accept.
And yet, as born again, I only follow Scripture.
With the HOLY SPIRIT guiding me to each verse.
Who am I to question GOD's ways, or will?
The Bible is clear why GOD chose Israel:
Deuteronomy 7:7
King James Version
7 The Lord did not set his love upon you,
nor choose you,
because ye were more in number than any people;
for ye were the fewest of all people:
Isaiah 43:21
King James Version
21 This people have I formed for myself;
they shall shew forth my praise.
Jeremiah 31:1
King James Version
31 At the same time,
saith the Lord,
will I be the God of all the families of Israel,
and they shall be my people.
1 Peter 2:9
King James Version
9 But ye are a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation,
a peculiar people;
that ye should shew forth the praises of him
who hath called you out of darkness
into his marvellous light;
How can anyone question the LORD's decision, when GOD is all these:
Isaiah 28:29
King James Version
29 This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts,
which is wonderful in counsel,
and excellent in working.
Isaiah 40:28
King James Version
28 Hast thou not known?
hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting God,
the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth,
fainteth not,
neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
James 1:17
King James Version
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.
James 3:17
King James Version
17 But the wisdom that is from above
is first pure,
then peaceable,
gentle,
and easy to be intreated,
full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality,
and without hypocrisy.
Romans 11:33
King James Version
33 O the depth of the riches both
of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
how unsearchable are his judgments,
and his ways past finding out!
