Malachi 1:2-3 - I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob, And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.

The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself.
Deuteronomy 28:9



Unbelievers do not Understand the Ways of God because they do not know who Jehovah God is. Unbelievers do not believe the Bible or what God says is true.



Why God went to such lengths with the Israelites is because He wanted it to be obvious to the Whole World that they were His special people and a nation that would be the platform for the Lord's greatest works.

And, of course, it was through Israel that God sent His Son, Jesus, to be our Savior.

When you do not Know God, in a Personal relationship with Jesus, You will not Understand His Plans.

Holy?
The bible is more like a guide book that was needed in society in the past. Needed by men, not by god/Divine/Source.
Men decided what they wanted in the bible and what not. They left out everything that didn't suit them. No woman had a say in the matter.

So what's holy about it?
Or do you consider men with a need to manipulate to be holy?

Furthermore there are different versions of the bible, it has been translated and written time and again.
One tiny little mistake and the whole meaning could've altered.
As a matter of fact there's a joke about exactly that, one monk getting one word wrong which led to horrible things.
Too many men -again not women- have been involved in translated and re-writing.
It isn't pure, not the original info, and it it's a far cry from "holy".

Apart from that it's obsolete.
Mankind isn't stagnant, societies aren't either. We evolve and change.
That book however hasn't changed, it's still what it was thousands of years ago.
How can a book that was written by men thousands of years ago hold value to us today?
Stick it in a museum.
There are better suited guide books these days that do gel with contemporary life.

How is Israel related to god's chosen people?

Should we all move there? All 7-8 billion on the planet?
For we are all god's chosen people.
Quite arrogant and far from loving to say that it's only for Israelis.
Or Americans as they do the same. "God bless America" (and the rest can go to hell).

Palestines lived in what is now called Israel.
Then after the WW the allied forces decided the Jews had to go to Palestina to PEACEFULLY co-habit the country with the Palestines.
But Jews clearly didn't get 'peaceful co-habitation' as they took over, mistreated the Palestines, and that's still going on today.
They did their best to annihilate the original people of the country.

How is that 'god chosen'??

Basically the mess in that country is the result of the allied forces' decision, nothing to do with god.
It had to do with the fact that no one knew what to do with the Jews after the war and they had to go somewhere. So dump them in an area where they weren't in the way.
Well, they were, but not in the way of the west.

If the allied forces had decided differently back then there'd now be peace in today's Israel.
As it is the west has created a giant massacre, caused by the Israelis, and suffering of the people who actually lived in that country.
They're now confined by the Israelis behind a wall on a small piece of land, not allowed to do this and that and the other.

Really very sad and actually disgusting to treat other human beings that way.
And you call that god chosen children...

To add to my last post:
I have nothing against Israelis. I feel the same way about any people that treat other human beings in a bad way.

We are all part of the Divine, god if you wish, and in that sense all equal. No race, people etc. has god's / the Divine's preference.

For those who do not know the Bible History or care to know.

Israel will Win wars.

Israel is nothing more than a White Settler Colonial Project Run by a Zionist Ideology.

Israel will be Victorious over the evil enemies of Israel!

Enemies of Isael will continue to war.
Israel will continue to protect their Own.

Hamas and Terrorists started the War.

For all

That’s so very true that they sure did but unfortunately too many people don’t know cause that’s the news for you. They still have hostages too unfortunately.

Julie many people do not know who God is or Believe or Study the Bible.
Israel is all in Biblical History.

Israel is not the one committing genocide.

Hamas and their terrorist supporters are the ones committing genocide.

Making shields of their Own people to fight against Israel. Hiding under schools, hospitals and homes of their own people is what they do.

Right and right.
