<<I would never tell God any thing, however I would ask these things, why God did you let so many other Gods exist?>>
He has already given the answer to this question in Scripture:
According to Genesis 2, the Lord God commanded Adam, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die”. What did Adam (& Eve) do? They disobeyed God and sin entered the human race.
This human sin gave all people the opportunity to worship other gods. Even the chosen nation of the Israelites practised idolatry: Exodus 32 tells how Aaron made an idol, golden calf for the people to worship while Moses was on the mountain.These Israelites became stubborn and rebellious when they chose to turn away from the Lord God to worship an idol.
<<if the people of your birth the Jewish faith are your chosen people are there any of us who are the opposite?>>
I'm an Aussie, a non-Jew, a Gentile. When the Gospel was proclaimed after Jesus' death and resurrection, it went first to the Jews (Jesus and the apostle Paul were Jews) - Acts 3:26 - and then to the non-Jews (Acts19:8-10).
<< are all humans equal or are some here only to give us some one to hate?>>
With the coming of Jesus, barriers of inequality were broken down: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).
There is this further biblical emphasis to confirm equality between Jews and non-Jews (Gentiles): "For he himself [Jesus Christ] is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility" (Ephesians 2:14).
The challenge for us as Christians is living out what Scripture teaches we ought to be in practising equality.
'Equality' has adopted another meaning in the contemporary, politically correct debate.
