I've posted about this a while back that the jews were, in fact, chosen by God himself. Nobody trusts the Jews right? Neither did God. Everyone knows that Jews will sell out their own mother for a few shekels. God knew that too. The prophecy of the Son of Man and Jesus being crucified HAD to happen so the RESURRECTION could happen and bring about Christianity. God knew this too. So therefore, God knowing all this, purposely CHOSE the jews to make it happen. 1. Jesus was born Jewish, so he would be accepted until he was grown and and old enough do what needed to be done. 2. Jesus proclaimed that he had come for the gentiles, so Judas, a known traitor and money lender, was chosen because God knew he would be more than happy to sell out Jesus and the rest of his "brothers" for a few shekels. 3. Jesus was put on trial by Pontius Pilot because God knew the jews would wash their hands of the entire affair by convincing the Romans to do their dirty work(like the brown "people" of today), and that the jews would obviously choose a common thief, Barrabas, over ANYONE that dared claim to be their "messiah". 4. After the crucifixion, God knew that under Jewish law that Jesus' body would be taken outside the city walls and entombed where the resurrection would take place, and where Jesus was no longer under Roman jurisdiction, as those tombs were sacred Jewish land untouchable by the Romans. So the Jews are the chosen ones...just not for what they claim.
