Question
Sal
 The bible tells us that the Jews were God's chosen people.
My question is; are they still God's chosen people today, or is this no longer true?
                              Thanks

Answer
Dear Bob:

I believe that they are still chosen "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable" (Romans 11:29). The Jews are God's Chosen People because He chose them to be delivered from Egypt and to reveal Himself to the world through them.

I love the Catholic Church and her book, the Bible. I will try to answer your questions with an emphasis on God*s Word. I believe the Catholic Church is the Church established by Jesus Christ for the salvation of the world. I can answer questions pertaining to the biblical basis for Catholic beliefs. I can also explain the beliefs of Jehovah*s Witnesses, Mormons, and Seventh Day Adventists as related to Catholic doctrine.
