I had a dream last night, and in it I was struck by the thought that to believe you have a contract with God you most likely believe yourself his equal in some way.
Why would you need a contract with God if he loves us?
edit: Perhaps I should clarify that I'm referring to a group of people who view God's love as some kind of business deal, a singling out from the rest of humanity for special treatment.
PS I also don't think it's the same God that I percieve.
I recall reading in the OT (been about two years since I read thru it cover to cover) that occasionally God would get frustrated with the Jews and essentially said he would expand to anyone who would keep his commandments.
To be fair I'm not a Chapter and verse guy but I distinctly recall reading this and imo it set the stage for Jesus because even those other nations/people would eventually fail and God needed some way to bring them into the fold as it were. So I lack sauce but I could provide it given enough time.
