There is a stubbornness there that is historical in nature. Despite seeing miracles, they refused to believe that Jesus was the Messiah

I always have wondered why it is said they were/are ‘the chosen people’?
Were there no other choices , Or is it propaganda?

The Torah was given from Heaven on Mt. Sinai in front of the entire people, who had already seen the Red Sea split and Pharaoh’s army drowned, to name a few of the miracles performed before the entire people.

A few fishermen two millennia ago alleged to have seen Jesus walk on water, and it doesn’t particularly matter if they believed it or not. It was not a revelation in front of the entire people, and really didn’t prove anything one way or the other. What is this? Dueling miracles? There are fundamental principles at issue between Jews and Christians, and the mere claim of a miracle on one side or the other does nothing to resolve them.

You can believe it if you want, and if it makes you a better person. I don’t care to debate theology. This forum is about politics, and that’s all the extent of my interest.
