Is God Selective In His People?

We know for a fact that he's put the Israelites in a stupor and blinded most of them.

We know that when you hear the word of God you will turn to him and be saved. This is the reason that he blinded his people till the time of the Gentile be fulfilled, so that "Having ears they did not hear, and having eyes they did not see, lest they turn to me and I heal them".

Is God selective? Well, he only chose the house of Jacob to be his people. While faith was extended certain others during time and as recorded by the Bible (Rahab, Ethiopian Eunic, etc) it seems to stand that God is selective. But is that because he's unloving?

If you start from the premise that all men are born sinners and what is RIGHT for them is to die separate from God, then it is simply a merciful action on God's part for anyone to be saved, right?

Now does he have to be merciful to everyone? Where in the Bible does it say that he HAS been merciful to everyone? In fact in Romans 9 Paul recites OT scripture laying out the case that God will be merciful to whom he desires to be merciful to and have compassion on whom he will have compassion, SO THEN it does NOT depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, BUT GOD...

So, does your belief system hold that God must be merciful to all, or that in some act he already has been, but they just need to recognize it? If he has been merciful to all, then why when hearing of the word of God, which is TRUE and does NOT return void, most do not believe?

You might say they hardness of mans heart. And who designed that? You might say Satan, but the Bible says that God hardens mans hearts...(in exclamation) What does that mean?!

Think about it, pray about it. Seek God, repent. He can heal you.
