Help me understand please. So someone can convert and be identified as Gods chosen? I would think there is a very big difference. And I'm not dooming you I am just trying to understand your point fren.
Do you think that people have to have a specific genetic profile in order to be part of a community or religion?
Because it seems like you don't understand religious converts.
Quick question. If someone from South Korea, who is genetically from people who have been in that area for thousands of years converts to Christianity, do you think they aren't "true Christians"?
What about Christians now, who are genetically from people in the UK and Western Europe? Are they Christians? Because they are very different from the original Christians of the Bible. Who were Jewish, genetically.
Let me explain, since people are busily downvoting you.
Christ changed it all. His argument was that gentiles can be God's children, and made a point in finding 'sinners' to convert. (illness was considered God's work, so if one, for example, laid hands on someone and prayed, then one was considered to be interfering with God's work. And anyway, tax colletors and prostitutes were definitely not acceptable to attend prayer meetings.
So, for your Korean example: I would definitely consider a convert as a true Christian, because Christ said anyone can worship God.
Some people are still butthurt about that, because the doctrine was exeptional - as in, only those with the correct bloodlines was accepted in the club. How dared he?
Sure. The whole "God's Chosen" is just a label people put on themselves or others.
Edited to add: Or do you think God himself is up there, checking that everyone has a specific genetic profile to determine whether or not they meet His criteria for being "chosen"?
Yeah no one cares, dude. There is such a a thing as a "convert."
And Ashkenazi or not, it's not like God is going to condemn an entire race of humans based on having the "wrong" Jewish bloodline, so why are we.
I think only the non believers in Christ are condemned, regardless of race or whatever.
Thank you!
