>Christians are supposed recognize the soul equality of all races of people, but jews are allowed to be a special chosen and separate (holy) group.
You believe that Christian Universalism, or rather, your proposed version of Christian Universalism, holds that the souls of all men are equal, except for those of the Jews, which are special, chosen, separate, and holy. This is an oxymoron. When the soul of the Jew is weighed as being more valuable than the gentile's, then the topic of our conversation ceases to be about Universalism. It is not about the value of souls, but whether or not they will be saved; Whether all will be saved, or if some will face eternal punishment in Hell.

You said you were seeking the Logos, so I'm assuming you've read the Bible at least once, seeing as many people believe that Christian ideas of the Logos were ripped straight from Greek philosophy, namely Heraclitus' and Plato's works. I encourage you to re-read Romans and Ephesians, both in their entirety along with at least Phaedo and Heraclitus' Fragments. Do note the birthplace of Heraclitus, being Ephesus. After that, take another look at Acts, especially Paul's interactions with the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers, and then read Isaiah and John I again.

>What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. For what if some did not believe? Shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

>ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ λόγος, καὶ ὁ λόγος ἦν πρὸς τὸν θεόν, καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος. οὖτος ἦν ἐν ἀρχῇ πρὸς τὸν θεόν. πάντα δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο, καὶ χωρὶς αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο οὐδὲ ἕν. ὃ γέγονεν.
>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Finally, recall mentions of the Breath (πνεῦμα), and if you're still interested, read St. John Chrysostom's homilies and sermons.

>When so many blessings from heaven came into their hands, they thrust them aside and were at great pains to reject them. The morning Sun of Justice arose for them, but they thrust aside its rays and still sit in darkness. We, who were nurtured by darkness, drew the light to ourselves and were freed from the gloom of their error. They were the branches of that holy root, but those branches were broken. We had no share in the root, but we did reap the fruit of godliness. From their childhood they read the prophets, but they crucified him whom the prophets had foretold. We did not hear the divine prophecies but we did worship him of whom they prophesied. And so they are pitiful because they rejected the blessings which were sent to them, while others seized hold of these blessing and drew them to themselves.
