[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am friends with tons of Jews but I could never ask this question. Do you think you are special/chosen and the rest of us are not?

I grew up Catholic but don't practice and never identified as being special or saved in some way.

Just wondering-- thanks[/quote]

To be honest, I do. I didn't have that clarity growing up when I was in Saturday or Sunday school and in Hebrew school. As ive matured, I view religion a bit differently. I don't walk around entitled.[/quote]does this chosen status apply to part jewish people?[/quote]
Sorry but you are totally wrong on that you are only considered jewish if your mother is jewish. The other way would be to convert, but only if done with proper intentions and only because you really want to be closer to g-d . The basic explanation as to why we feel more superior to gentiles is because we believe that we got the bible etc. and we keep it and that makes us different,similar to a kings special friends. Btw according to jewish law we discourage people from converting. A rabbi has to reject you three times to make sure you are serious about it. We actually believe that we are special, but you don't need to convert. according to jewish law all you would need to do to be considered a good gentile is to keep the seven noahide laws don't kill steal commit adultery etc.
Yep. If one of your parents is Jewish, you're in![/quote][/quote]
