Would you agree if God is partial He would tell us so ?

How can he be both then ? . If He says He is not a respector of persons,there is your answer for He cannot be both

To ask such a dumb question reveals that you are not thinking by the Spirit but by the carnality of the flesh.

Thw whole bible tells us God is partial toward His chosen..here davids prayer:

ps 106:

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.





deut 7:

For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

Nothing to do with partiality it was to do with God keeping His oath to their forefathers

Duet 7-8

7The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. 8But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your forefathers

The oath with the Fathers is from being partial unto them..abraham was chosen by God out of idolatry of his fathers..

josh 24:

And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods

It does not say anything of the sort , you seem to keep going back in time to find God being partial,what are you going to do once you are back to Adam ?

Genesis 12 read the last verse especially . God was not being partial with His choice of Abraham , He chose Abraham for a means to an end namely
to bless ALL the peoples on earth.

I will make you into a great nation
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.
3I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.” (Sounds very much like what the angels said to the shepherds , don't you think ?)
