The chosen are the people who bring the Good News so that all nations may be saved, not just the chosen ones.

Maybe this is why you are so comfortable with Rome. You seem to agree on a hierarchy among mortal men, in direct opposition to Scripture.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

I've never known anyone who divided the redeemed into the "elect" and the "others who also go to heaven."

I've learned a lot on this thread.

No need for theatrics, dear lady. There is no hierarchy among us when it comes to unrighteousness, we are all born with it. But God chose Moses, and Christ chose the Apostles, among multitudes of other people, to do what the Covenant demands: to make the God of Abraham known to all the nations of the world. And I don't believe you are an Apostle or Moses.
