“And this is just the record of the Jews. I believe that God loves all his children. If he has the sons of Seth following his will, and chose to given them knowledge, who am I to argue?”

The Jews were God’s chosen people. It doesn’t say that God appeared to other people.

Um, that’s the whole point of the ancient document that this thread is about:

I’m quoting the author, who is quoting the ancient text.

“This is one of many occasions on which I have appeared to the peoples of the world...”

Really, I don’t have a problem with it. First off, we know that the promise of Abraham was that his seed would be a blessing among every nation. Further, Israel has been scattered time and time again throughout the earth, and not just the tribe of Judah, most of which is the story and history of the Bible.

You might be defining “chosen” an little more tightly than I would.

The Jews are YHvH's Chosen People.

Try reading Romans 11.
