Gentiles usually in
plural, goyim), meaning in general all nations except the Jews.
Of course of time,
as the Jews began more and more to pride themselves on their peculiar
privileges,
it acquired
unpleasant associations, and was used as a term of contempt.
The word
"Gentile" sometimes translates the Greek word ethnos,
which means a nation
or people, specifically someone who is not Jewish
and thus could be
used in the sense of a foreigner.
Because Israel is
God’s chosen people,
the Jews believe
that this is because they (Jews) are better than everyone else in Gods eyes.
However;
The proof of the
pudding is in the eating!
(The final results
are the only way to judge something's quality or veracity).
People say the proof
of the pudding is in the eating to mean that something can only be judged to be
good or bad after it has been tried or used.
Truth
God chose Abram
(Abraham), to teach humans the correct way to live if we, the humans, ever plan
on living forever with our Creator?
Knowing full well
that we, the humans, will need a cattle prod now and then to keep us on the
correct path.
Also knowing full
well that we would need a Sheppard to heal our wounds and relive us, the
humans, from our sins!
Hence the need for
the ‘Cross’ (New Testament)!
In today's words,
'God' (Creator), is the teacher,
'Mother Earth' is the school, 'Israel' (the
Old Testament), is the "teaching tools' and humans are the students.
