Is God a Racist?

Fer y'all is a folk that's special to the Lord, yer God. The Lord, yer God has done picked y'all out of all the folks on the face of the earth to be his folks, his very own keepsake, near and dear to his heart. -Deuteronomy 7:6, The Hillbilly Bible 

You think you're cooler than me. -Mike Posner

I wonder if y'all think that God is a racist on account a He has a chosen people? He ain't. Here's why. It's true that the Lord has a chosen people, the Jews, Israel. That's always gonna be the case and that ain't never gonna change. God don't lie, ner change, ner break his promises like you and I do. Israel will always be the chosen people. But here's what he did to amend the contract. He sent King Jesus so anybody can become a Jew!!! 

Highfalutin theologian types calls it bein' "grafted in"...it don't mean nuthin' but ever'body can git in on the deal now. Now, used to be you had to keep this big ole long list a rules to be in good with God and to be one a his special chosen folks. He give these laws to the Jews...the Ten Commandments and sech. The Law. All that Old Testament "thall shall not lay with a poodle ner git yer testicles crushed" business. Well, that did'n turn out too good. All the laws was fine and dandy and fer folks own protection from the Lord. They was good rules. Folks ort not to lay with poodles. (Ye'd think that would be common sense, but these days I wonder.)

Anyhow, they was good rules. There was just one problem. We was bad folks. Jews could'n keep the rules. So God just up and sent King Jesus to keep all the rules for us, then all we gotta do is believe on Jesus and we're good with God. That's called The Gospel. It just means good news. So, now anybody in the world can be a Jew and git in on bein' God's chosen folks!!  His pride and joy! That IS Good News!  God Ain't No Racist!

What about the Jews? Well they's still God's chosen folk, but they ain't gittin' in on this business by keepin' no dang Law!  They gotta believe in their own King!  King Jesus!....and I spec' they will by and by. So, to sum up, God ain't no racist. Ever'body is invited to the party....and ye ort not to lay with the family dawg.
