God is Partial
isa 43:

This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

There is a people that God has chosen for Himself, and He Loves that people over and above all other peoples of the earth..

deut 7:

6For 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.

Its just plain blindness for people not to see that God shows preferential treatment to some over others..

The word partial is defined:

Disposed to favor one over another

God favored David over His brothers..1 sam 16:

10Again, Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, The LORD hath not chosen these.

11And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither.

12And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.

Now many people like to use the scripture that God is not a respect of persons, to contradict the fact that God does choose to show favortism to some over and above others..

But showing respect of persons is not the same as God showing preferential treatment to some..

The difference is this..respect of persons is when one recieves preferential treatment for some outward advantage they may have over another..

Like race, or social status or some quality one has that another doesnt have..

or when one is set free from a crime because of their social status, but one who did the same crime was punished because they were just ordinary..

This God does not do..He doesnt show respect of persons in that regard..

But in regards to His Own Sovereign Perogative, and without considering anything outside of Himself, and considering nothing in the one to whom He shows favor, then God does this..

He does it simply because He wants to..

ps 115:

But our God is in the heavens: he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.

matt 20:

15Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

Oh, ha! Beloved, I'm not trying to make light of your thread but when I read the thread title I thought you meant God is partial, as in NOT WHOLE.

Don't I feel silly.

All that has been explained and put into perspective if you have read the post..

Hii, for those who may not be believers, know that all Christians do not hold to this. God loves all men equally. Jesus died for all men, gave His life for all. He was sent to be the Savior of the world. (1 John 4:14) He loves you.

God chooses others to bless others. The first fruits are part of the whole harvest of mankind. The creation is to be changed into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. God bless.

Romans 8:18-22

18. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.19. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.20. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope *21. that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.22. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now.

*hope=elpis=expectation

13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

God is only partial in your carnal thinking mind beloved and not according to the word.

ShanaBrown · 07-04-2009, 10:32 AM

To those who may not be believers, God loves all. The word for "hate" has a range of meaning, ranging from simple oppostion to intense hatred. The same God who "hated" his chosen people gave His Son for them, and the same God who "hated" Esau, gave His Son for Esau. More information on how the word "hate" is used in the scriptures.

No you reject Gods revealation of being partial towards whomever He wills..

God can show mercy to whomever He wills and so does He..rom 9:

13As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

14What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
