Chosen people: 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.

Chosen people: 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 people: 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 ...

Buddhist Quotes: Drinking Leads to Madness

 

A layman who has chosen to practice this Dhamma should not indulge in the drinking of intoxicants. He should not drink them nor encourage others to do so, realizing that it leads to madness. Through intoxication foolish people perform evil deeds and cause other heedless people to do likewise. He should avoid intoxication, this occasion for demerit, which stupefies the mind, and is the pleasure of foolish people.
