[QUOTE="RozeinBloom, post: 60080676, member: 304375"] This issue was briefly addressed in another thread of mine but as I am like a little puppy and easily distracted when it comes to theological questions it seemed sensible to open a new discussion pertaining to this issue. Clearly and indisputably Jesus did not just come for the Jews salvation but for all of humanity but within the Old Testament it seems equally indisputable that the Nation of Israel was God's chosen people to the exclusion of all other nations. So my question is I suppose, why was that necessary? What purpose did it serve for the rest of mankind? And why not charge the Israelites with bringing enlightenment to the other nations rather than strictly forbidding assimilation? I am positive that there are sensible answers to this question to be found within the bible but at the moment the answers are eluding me so any help would be appreciated. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
