So far, I do not see any othere members here posting a response to,[...{this self proclaimation}...] and the other questions posted that I would like to post a long response to and then there could be the possibility that there could be no others here to post in my response after I post 3 consecutive posts, as to allow me to continue since I could be a "{lone} dissenter".

Thanks for asking, but could you just respond with one lengthy post instead? Thanks,
Bob

Dr. Hsiung,
You wrote,[...one lenghly post instead?...]
I do not think that I could do that. The post in question has many questions in it and other posts associated with it so that my response would be a response to many questions of differant posts.
But I think that it could be good for the community as a whole if I was allowed to post my response , regardless of how many posts that it could take.
The response from me would cover;
A. What does it mean to be chosen by God?
B. Who are the chosen ?
C. How does someone be chosen by God?
D. What are those that are chosen , chosen for?
E. Who are the called by God?
F. What does it mean to be called by God?
G. Can anyone be called by God?
H. What historical references are there to the Jews being "The Chosen People"?
K. What are the Jews chosen for by God?
L. Are non-Jews chosen?
M. Is being chosen by God better for the person chosen or is there a higher standard imposed by God to the chosen?
N. Could someone refuse God's chosenness to them? What could happen to them if they chose to be not chosen?
P. If someone wanted to be chosen by God, could God refuse to allow them to be chosen?
R. Who proclaimed that the Jews are "The Chosen People"?
S. Is evryone chosen?
T. My response to :[...Do you not find this self proclaimation exclusionary?...How different is this than a Christian stating that one must go through Jesus Christ to arrive at The Kingdom of God everlastingly?...]could, in and of itself, take a long, separate response from me.
V. How has historical antisemitism been fostered in relation to the use of the phrase "The Chosen People" to arrouse ill-will and hatred toward the Jews?
X. Other related issues that come out of the post that are related to the questions directed to me here.

Lou - It looks like a FAQ, and those are almost always on one long page. Interested parties could easily read this.
If it's not possible for you to write it that way, how about writing it elsewhere in your preferred segmented style, and then just post a link on babble? For instance, you could post it on www.beliefnet.com's discussion area. I'm sure you could find an appropriate discussion there for this information. When you finish posting, then come back here and post a link to your discussion. Everyone who is interested would just click on that link, and read your posts.

> EmmyTE,
You wrote,[...how about writing elswhere...?].
I was wondering if you could follow my response here and after 3 posts that you post something like,[...I'm interested, Lou, keep posting...]. Dr.Hsiung has written that this may be OK for someone to do here. I would only want you to do that if you wanted to and you were interested.
Lou
