I proved that God did not write the old testament or the torahROG62 » 5 minutes ago » wrote: ↑ God does not break his covenants, no matter the niggling…
The origins of Israel’s special status as God’s chosen people are rooted in the covenant established between God and the Israelites at Mount Sinai. As recorded in Exodus 19:5-6, God declared, “If you will strictly obey my voice and will indeed keep my covenant, then you will certainly become my special property out of all other peoples, because the whole earth belongs to me. And you yourselves will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” This covenant established Israel as a nation set apart for a unique relationship with God, conditioned on their obedience to His commandments.
The Old Testament is replete with instances where God reaffirmed His covenant with Israel, emphasizing their role as His chosen people. However, this relationship was never presented as being unconditional. Throughout the prophetic writings, the continuation of this special status is consistently tied to the Israelites' faithfulness to God’s commandments..
