Am I choosing my beliefs about God's love, or do others misunderstand me?
What should I do about this conversation I had?
TW - Value in God's eyes I've been very depressed with the thought that God loves the Jews more and gave them the promises and went to the Jews first, even as Jesus, and initially the Gentiles were left out. And one of the few people I talk to about this is my aunt. But still, nobody really seems to understand me, and everyone tries to prove that I'm wrong, and she is no exception. But, not talking about that, now I get to what I am asking: The other day I was talking to her and she told me, like she had several times before, that we all get to make our own decisions about what we believe, speaking of my interpretations of some verses in the Bible. I responded, "I didn't choose to believe this way -- I don't want to believe this way." But she responded, "We all do choose how to believe. That is why nobody can choose for us." Any input on this would be helpful. Do you think she's right, that I'm choosing to believe this way? Do you think she could possibly just not understand my situation? Do you think I should tell her something like I am not understanding her perspective, thinking that everyone always has a choice to choose what they believe? I don't know what to say, or if I should even say anything...
