If we are among the chosen few, the answer is "none of the above." Hopefully, we are among the 144,000 (whether this number is symbolic or literal). God's elect are NOT a part of the Religions of the world. :)

I'm a Religion major and I was pretty surprised when I learned this a couple years ago. Judaism seems to be such a presence in the world (in large part because of its connection to Christianity), yet apparently there are more "spiritualists" than Jews.
On a related note, I was very surprised to learn that there are fewer than 11 million people living in Greece today. Like the Jews, the Greeks played an important role in the foundation of Western thought. Their art, their culture, their literature is still widely discussed in universities---yet there are now fewer people there than in the state of Ohio.

Hi folks,
Yes the Jews are small in number, but it is amazing that there are any left the way they have been persecuted and slaughtered over the centuries.
The reason though that a few million still exist is that God has a plan for them to be in Jerusalem when their Messiah returns.
God promised and God never fails...

It's interesting to me that there are more Jewish people in the United States than there are in the state of Israel.
Also the Jews in the U.S. are giving much political, and monetary support in combination with the different Christian groups that are in support of the cause of Israel.

Does the bible say anything about the FEW that are chosen, if they are to be Jewish or Gentiles. None of those religions go by the spirit and truth. Man does not see it, since there is only one God, there can only be one way to Him. That way is spirit and truth. And that way has nothing to do with the religious garbadge. Ricky
