With a populous that was uneducated? Wouldn't it make more sense, if God were to reveal himself to anybody, that he would show himself to the people that were educated in the world at this time? The Chinese? The Mayans?
How do you know He did not contact them, and they just thought themselves too smart to need God?
Quote:Why would he involve himself with these people? After nearly a hundred thousand years of not doing anything (assuming we're taking the Bible metaphorically) and then suddenly in the last two thousand years, interacting with the people of the middle east, sending Jesus to them? Why? Why them?
Because God's qualifiers are not the same as ours. The Jews or rather Abraham received Him and did what he was told, thus qualifying him to receive God's blessing.
Quote:Obvious answer: because they wrote the Bible. Why were they chosen?
Again, because Abraham was obedient, and God like him over everyone else at the time.
