For God so loved Israel, NOT the entire world

Pro argues that Judeo-Christian God only loved Israel, and not the world. I will present my case as follows: 1. Evidence from the New Testament There are many examples, but I will only present a few to keep this discussion concise. The Bible verses below will show that God didn't only love the Jews as Pro claims. I will also use NIV translation of the Bible because it's easier to read, but other sources would also suffice. a) Jesus said: "I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. " John 10:16 Jesus often preached with parables, and the "other sheep" in the parable is referring to the non-Jews [1]. b) "But glory, honor and peace for everyone who does good: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism. " Romans 2:10-11 c) "There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. " Romans 3:22-24 d) "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" Galatians 3:28 All the verses above, and many others that I didn't cite, clearly show that God loved the rest of the world. 2. Evidence from the Old Testament I will present cases in the Old Testament that also shows God's love to the non-Jews. But first I want to note to the reader that the Jews didn't exists prior to Abraham, as he is the father of all Jews (the first Jew) [2]. What about Adam and Noah that God loved? They weren't Jews. a) "And foreigners who bind themselves to the Lord to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant—these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations. ” Isaiah 56:6-7 c) You may have heard about the story of Jonah in the belly of the whale, which is a symbol of Jesus' death and resurrection [3]. Jonah was sent by God to warn the wicked people of Ninevah. The people of Ninevah repented and were spared. [4] d) "Many nations will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths. " The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. " Micah 2:4 I could explain each verse, but I believe that they are self explanatory. There are many other examples to show that God's love wasn't limited to the Jews as Pro claims. 3. Incompatibility with God's nature The proposition of this debate states that "For God so loved Israel, NOT the entire world". This proposition presupposes that the Judeo-Christian God exists. If He didn't exist, then He would have neither loved Israel nor the world. This debate would be pointless! But if the Judeo-Christian God exists, and He is considered as just and righteous, then loving only the Israelites is incompatible with His nature. If God only loved the Jews, then God is no longer just… He would be outright racist! Maybe Pro is arguing that God is unjust according to the Bible? But if that's Pro's claim, then the Bible (which is the source Pro is using) clearly disagrees with Pro: "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him! " Isaiah 30:18 4. The confused Christians and Jews! Christians and Jews for generations believed that God's love was universal. Judaism claims that "the Torah of Moses is a truth for all humanity, whether Jewish or not" [5]. Christians believes that God is love himself [6]. I find Pro's argument very ad hoc. Were all the Jews and Christians so confused that they didn't understand what the Bible said? While I admit that Christians have many disagreements, evident in the sheet number of Christian denominations, but most Christians believe that God's love (called agape) was universal to all humanity [7]. And if God exists, did He just leave the Christians and Jews confused for centuries? I will rebut my opponent's arguments in the next round. Sources [1] . http://biblehub.com...
