A Few Chosen Words About
"God's Chosen People"
All people are 'God's Chosen People'... In fact, everything in life—from The Sacred to The Profane—is chosen by God! Otherwise, it would not exist.
Now, what of Karma?
Why would God ever choose 'The Profane' and not simply choose 'The Sacred?'
Why? Karma!
Because, that which used to be 'Profane' can become 'Sacred'—through The Power Of Karmic Change—when 'The Profane' realizes that it needs to change and that it needs to invert itself into 'The Sacred!'
For, when that which used to be 'Profane' is at the receiving end of its own profanity—and is offended by that profanity—'The Profane' can then choose to become 'Sacred' in rebellion away from its own profanity through The Power Of Karmic Change.
By the way, The Power Of Karmic Change happens over many, many lifetimes through reincarnation; which is why God knows that, in other lifetimes, 'The Profane' has created Karmic Debt!
And God also knows when 'The Profane' is paying off its Karmic Debt by becoming 'The Sacred'—because it is willing to engage in The Process Of Karmic Change—and, thus, God knows when 'The Profane' is no longer choosing to be profane through Karmic Change and is choosing, instead, to be 'Sacred.'
Therefore, that is why God chooses 'The Sacred' and 'The Profane' because of the possibility for Karmic Change.

My Writing About God's Chosen People: All people are 'God's Chosen People'... In fact, everything in life—from The Sacred to The Profane—is chosen by God! Otherwise, it would not exist. –Paul Whiting (written January 15th, 2015 and revised September 14th, 2022)

My Writing About Religious True Believers, Version No. 1: No one can transform The True Religious Beliefs of The True Religious Believer except for The True Religious Believer. –Paul Whiting (written April 23rd, 2022, revised April 30th, 2022, revised September 14th, 2022 and revised May 24th, 2023)

My Writing About Finding The Truth Of God As Contained Within 'God's Many True Religions' And Not Just Within 'God's One, True Religion': The Truth Of God cannot be found within only one true religion!
For, in the same way that God has more than one name by which God may be called—such as God, or Goddess, or Ultimate Creator, or Unmoved Mover, or All Things Unto Oneself, or The One, or The Saviour Of All Humankind, or That Which Rises In The East And Sets In The West, or The Truest Truth Seeker, etc.—God has more than one true religion!
Plus, the very same thing can be said regarding God's Many Varieties Of Life, which cannot be contained within only one true species!
So, in the same way that you expect God to provide you with Great Varieties Of Life through many different species within God's Creation, God expects you to understand the Great Varieties Of God's Truth contained within more than one of God's Great Varieties Of True Religion!
And because religion can only be created by God through God's Very Imperfect Instrument Of Human Understanding, there are also many untruths contained within each and every one of God's Many True Religions!
Therefore, it is your job to find the Truth Of God wherever it may exist within God's True Religions, just as much as it your your job to find the Untruths Of Human Misunderstanding wherever they may exist within God's True Religions!
Thus, it is necessary for you to find The Truth Of God wherever it may exist—just as much as it is necessary for you to find the Untruths Of Human Misunderstanding wherever they may exist—as contained within the Great Variety Of God's Many True Religions! Amen!

My Philosophical Notes:
The reason that I wrote this prose can be summed up with the following statement: "All people are God's Chosen People... In fact, everything in life—from the sacred to the profane—is chosen by God! Otherwise, it would not exist."
And this prose was only published on my "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" blog.
This prose was written in Portland, Oregon.
