| | |  Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Chosen to receive a message
In many religions it is believed that the God has revealed a message to a prophet or messenger.
Some of these religions, such as some forms of Christianity and Islam, teach that their path is the only path to salvation. In other religions, like other forms of Christianity, Islam and Judaism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Wicca, and Transcendentalism, it is believed that the followers of one's faith do not have an exclusive path to God. They hold tha ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Judaism In Judaism, chosenness is the belief that the Jews are a people chosen to be in a covenant with God. The idea is not connected with tribal groupings as they are traditionally understood, as non-Jews are free to convert to Judaism.
The Jewish idea of being chosen is first found in the Torah (five books of Moses) and is elaborated on in later books of the Hebrew Bible. This status carries both responsibilities and blessings as described in the Biblical covenants with God. Much is written about this topic in rabbinic literature.
Judaism's teachings on being a chosen people are descr ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Superiority? Views of being a chosen people are sometimes connected with ethnocentrism. The idea of a chosen people can be used to justify or create cultural imperialism, racism, and xenophobia. However, the "chosen status," by definition is a humbling one, as it claims to carry greater responsibility and sacrifices than others.
An example of this type of thought is exhibited in the Christian writing, Phillipians 2:5-8: "Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not demand and cling to his rights as G ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Christianity Supersessionism is the belief of many Christians that Christians have replaced Israel as God's Chosen people. In this view, the Jews' chosenness found its ultimate fulfillment through the message of Jesus; Jews who remain non-Christian are no longer considered to be chosen, since they reject Jesus as the Messiah and son of God. Christians who ascribe to supersessionsism, cite the Bible verse John 14:6, attributed to Jesus: "I am the way, the truth, and the life, No one comes to the Father except through Me" as ev ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Hinduism Whilst the caste system of India confers a degree of birth-right to the " chosen " Brahmins, there exist a few cults or New Religious Movements that consider themselves to be the Chosen people, e.g. the Brahma Kumari World Spiritual Organisation [B.K.]. The B.K.s consider that the world is at its end and will soon be destroyed, that they and they alone will inherit a Golden Aged paradise on the basis on the efforts they make following their leader Brahma Baba at this time. Further that Brahma Baba is ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Islam Some Muslims believe Islam is Exclusive, and some do not.
Muslims who believe that Muslims, Christians and Jews all serve the same God cite Qur'anic verses such as:
Say, 'People of the Book! come to a proposition which is the same for us and you - that we should worship none but Allah and not associate any partners with Him and not take one another as lords besides Allah.' If they turn away, say, 'Bear witness that we are Muslims.'(Surah Al 'Imran; 3:64)

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Chosen people - Types of purposes The sense of being a chosen people occurs in both religious and nonreligious contexts. The Abolitionists, who were largely Christian, considered themselves chosen by God to bring freedom and equal rights to the slaves. Many slaveholders, another largely Christian group, saw themselves as chosen to keep and sell slaves.
The Nazis considered the Aryan race to be superior, and believed it was their mission to dominate over all races they considered "inferior." Many religious and charitable organizations consider themselves to be chosen by God to care for the sick and the suffering. Man ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Ishamael - Least Sealed? An interesting phenomenon occurred when Ishamael was sealed with the other Forsaken inside the Dark One's prison at Shayol Ghul. It seemed that he was only half sealed, (in contrast to Aginor and Balthamel who were merely sealed too close to the edge, and thus susceptible to the passage of time), and his soul was allowed to be released in the world from time to time. The leading expert on this theory was Aran son of Malan, an Ogier historian, who deduced that Ishamael was "spun out" from the prison on multiples of forty years. It is believed ...

Jews as a chosen people - Orthodox views.
Rabbi Lord Immanuel Jakobovits, former Chief Rabbi of the United Synagogue of Great Britain (Modern Orthodox Judaism), describes chosenness in this way: "Yes, I do believe that the chosen people concept as affirmed by Judaism in its holy writ, its prayers, and its millennial tradition. In fac ...

| | | | Chosen: Encyclopedia II - Jews as a chosen people - Rabbinic Jewish views of chosenness The idea of chosenness has traditionally been interpreted by Jews in two ways: one way is that God chose the Israelites, while the other idea is that the Israelites chose God. Although collectively this choice was made freely, religious Jews believe that it created individual obligation for the descendants of the Israelites.
Crucial to the Jewish notion of chosenness is that it creates obligations exclusive to Jews, while non-Jews receive from God other covenants and other responsibilities. Generally, it does not entail exclusive rewa ...
