In this episode, I explore the contentious question of whether Jewish people are still considered God's chosen ones. I present both affirmative and critical perspectives on the concept of chosenness, delving into theological, historical, and ethical dimensions. The discussion culminates in my stance, as I reflect on the implications of rejecting Jesus as the Messiah.
