I've only been a true believer for like a month. I haven't read much of the Old Testament. Did God show favoritism towards certain individuals?

Yes -- Abraham. He gave him a whole nation.

Meanwhile he put a blight on Job, drowned the world in a flood, made his son die, etc.

I mean I don't think he shows favoritism, people that are favorited tend to have some leverage with punishment, however God once turned people into salt for looking back at the destruction of their city.

You have two kids. You tell one to take the garbage out. You choose the kid to take the garbage out and favoritism had nothing to do with it.

Noah and his Ark. He literally picked a family to survive the flood. You pretty much have to play favorites here.

Nice.

So, when Jesus was resurrected from the dead, was he flesh or spirit?

Uh...yeah. The entire old testament is basically about one family's lineage. Outside of the Hebrew Israelites, God didn't seem to gaf about anyone.

It's a pretty important detail...he was resurrected in his flesh body.

It might be good idea to do further reading on it, because alot of people think he rose as a spirit.
