These Orthodox rabbis aren’t even Jewish, according to a newly released investigation.
Michael and Calev Isaacson, a father-and-son pair who live in Phoenix, Ariz. — and who have spent some 12 years performing sacred Jewish rituals, including marriages and writing holy scrolls — are now accused of being evangelical Christians.

If it makes you feel better to believe that Jewish people are a distinct primary racial group then so be it.
I used to think that joke was funny. It’s not that I lost my sense of humor. Rather, I’ve been reading Dr. Michael Heiser regarding the meaning of the OT and how mankind let God down again and again and he chose Abraham. The last “try” before he resolved the issue with Jesus.
All it means is that I take very seriously the concept of God’s “chosen” people. And it’s hard because they keep screwing up. Which is what man does, and demonstrates why He had to come in the flesh.
“This is just my opinion, but I think you are over-arguing this”
I only object because the argument that Jews are a distinct group of humanity set apart from all other humans originated with people who were not exactly friendly to the tribe. I object to this hateful propaganda being posted on FR where it will inevitably be quoted by our enemies on the left.
You’re right that a loving God had to put up with a lot from His people. Sodom, Gomorrah, the enslavement of Joseph, the Golden Calf, and even Moses whacking a rock twice when he was told only to do so once.
Still He loves them.
Yep. And my post was in no way a slam on you. I was abrupt in my answer and apologize.
No need for an apology. I know you well enough from your posts that no such insult would have been intended.

Nor does it help that throughout the centuries, when Jews had power over Christians, they often abused that power.
Jews often acted as tax collectors and middlemen for gentile nobles and kings (especially in Poland), and they abused that power. Many anti-Jewish pogroms were peasant revolts.
Jews opened the gates of Toledo to Moorish invaders in 711 A.D., and remained closely allied with the Muslims during their rule of Spain.
The great 12th century Jewish sage Maimonides said that Islam was closer to Judaism than was Christianity, at a time when Christians were fighting in the crusades.
Jews have played a disproportionately large role in anti-Christian revolutionary movements, such as Communism.
The animosity between Jews and Christians is unfortunate, but it's always been mutual, with blame to go around on both sides.
Absolutely NOT TRUE. Either you're a Jew or you're a Christian. Can't be both.
You cannot believe in JC and be a Jew. It's either or.
“You’re right that a loving God had to put up with a lot from His people. Sodom, Gomorrah,”
Sodom and Gomorrah were not occupied by Jewish people, nor even ancestors of the Jewish people (excepting perhaps Lot).
Correction, not even Lot. I couldn’t remember if Lot was an ancestor of Leah, but he wasn’t
He’s the Moabites and Ammonites.

So, no, no Jewish people or even ancestors in Sodom or Gomorrah.
Eh, I still think there are heretical Jewish people who do.
Too much time at Chabad, I guess. Or too Zionist.
Not so much now, but when I was a kid (a long time ago), in Israel it was very much “anyone dumb enough to call themselves a Jew is a Jew.”
And theologically, “Once a Jew, always a Jew” is a core belief.
These fakers? Meh. Not Jews.
Saul and the scriptures thought Passover was important enough, to make it the first importance of the gospel, in accordance with the scripture..
Take heart.
It’s not just Jews in for a surprise.
Muslims and Christians, when their frigg day and sun day fail, they’ll realize why it says Satan deceives the whole world.
Daniel’s Beast has a false gospel.
Saul of Tarsus, a Jew, taught the correct first importance of the gospel.
Passover
Unleavened Bread
First Fruits
14,15,16.
6th,Sabbath, 1st.
In accordance with the scriptures.
I am okay with aligning myself with Saul/Paul of Tarsus.
And Torah.
And the Passover Lamb.
The Torah Made Flesh and dwelt among us.
Babylon falls.
And when it falls,Babylon’s religions fall with it.
Islam, Judaism and Christianity, hardest hit..

My wife and I believe that how a person approaches judgment is for the individual to decide for themselves.
Also, as true Christians we support Israel and Zionism and we believe that happens in Israel is prophetic. Old and New testament.
My wife and I both follow JTA. I signed up for the news letter when we felt that Jews in NYC were being mistreated a couple of years ago. For another discussion: why the heck to Jews vote the way they do — most of the time, against their own interests.
And lastly but not least. My apologies for my fellow so called Christians and the horrible mistreatment of Jews throughout history. True Christians believe that any mistreatment of Jewish People, by Christians and non-Christians, will not be looked upon favorably by God.
We believe that any “animosity towards Jews” by Christians is driven by Satan.
As true and faithful followers of the Bible, then we must accept the Jewish origins of Jesus Christ and the apostles and the importance of the Jewish People. The Bible is about the Jewish people, both old and new testaments.
Animosity by anyone (Jew or gentile) toward any innocent person (Jew or gentile) is driven by Satan.
But it is not "animosity" to defend oneself from a wrongdoer (Jew or gentile). Christians and Jews are both guilty of wrongdoing toward each other. I reject the false narrative that for 2000 years Christians were always the persecutors, never the victims. It's always been mutual.
I have long believed Judeophobia is satanic, aimed at the people who first brought the concept of God into the world.
And it would be good for Christians to listen to the Jews and their perspectives. So for starters....
Please watch the videos at the below link. Listening to the videos, it is clear that there is a lot of misinformation on both sides. It will help you to understand better.
Yes, Jews have been indoctrinated by the orthodoxy but Christians have made it easier for the orthodoxy by what Christians have said and done.
First of all, Christ was Jewish. And no, “the Jews” didn't kill Jesus. The Bible is about the Jewish People and Judaism. We gentiles were offered God's blessing by what Christ did for us all.
