Who are the Chosen People?

Lyrics at http://notesofkin.com. This video explores persecution and human suffering rooted in mistaken notions of one group of human beings having more or less worth than another. The ultimate remedy is the recognition that we are members of one human family and therefore responsible for the welfare of all of our family members.----------—"When love is realized and the ideal spiritual bonds unite the hearts of men, the whole human race will be uplifted, the world will continually grow more spiritual and radiant and the happiness and tranquility of mankind be immeasurably increased." -'Abdu'l-Baha------------"Who are the Chosen People" is a music slide show video written and produced by Notes of Kin.

Bahais aren't the "chosen people" No one is.

[notesofkin]

@AresCassell The lyrics to "Who are the Chosen People?" are at notes.of.kin.com . You are correct. Just becuase one subscribes to a particular religion does not make them chosen. That is the whole point of the song. When Religon is no longer a source of unity then it has ceased to be of God and people suffer.

If god have chosen one race than why create others or why discriminate other nations, colours etc, if that was the case than god is being unfair, no one believes in this crap, made up by some ppl, if u seriously believe this shit than I recommend u to go & see a doctor.

[notesofkin]

@orhun20 Wondering what "you" you are referring to? Is it your impression that the video is promoting the idea that some races are chosen by God over others? Because, in fact, the video and the lyrics are intended to highlight that all people are equal in the eyes of God.

@notesofkin I humbly disagree with you, but still believe that the Baha'i religion is a good and fine one for many people. It has never been a Jewish notion that the Jewish people (or any other people) are any different or more worthy than any other humans. Though I'm sure we may have a few theological and philosophical differences, I think we would agree on many more. I have looked at the Baha'i religion and have a great respect for its adherents.

religion is a hoax... your scriptures are a fairytale... god/goddess/gods/goddesses are a myth...

[awarwek]

No one is !!! it doesn't make any sense !! We all humans with DNA's .. and God doesn't change the value of person from one to another by the race !! It's just unfair .. !! Guys think logically

[theredorc]

Bahai is new age invented religion, its roots are satanic.

[bashie34]

As Satan desires to ascend to Heaven and take the place of the Most High YHWH and counterfeits His ways, Satan's children are couterfeit "Israelites", imposters masquerading as "God's Chosen People." What better cover to attempt to hide their true nature and agenda than to pretend to be God's Chosen?

[fsmtdaler]

Chosen for "What?" should be the question. They have come back to Israel for a reason and purpose in harmony with the will of God. They were shut out for a couple of thousand years until, beginning with the Edict of Toleration in 1844 the doors which barred them began to open. Now Jews exiled to all parts of the world are back home, so to speak, to welcome humanity to the Holy Land. Trouble is, everybody still wants to blow the hell outa the Holy Land and seize it by force. Not good...

[galbraith6]

@notesofkin In today's society, so often 'the chosen people' is used to refer to Jews. I'll set that aside, and I see what you are saying.

However, can one honestly beleive that the baha'i faith, when all of the world aheres to its beleifs, will not have quarrel and strife as any other religion would? No dissagreements, no fighting? All religions are able to be corrupted and the fact that people and cultures are different and disagree are unavoidable, regardless of shared religion
