What is your definition of a Jew anyway?

This is a question that has plagued the Jews themselves. Jewishness can comprehend both religious observance and ethnic identity. Thus we have the phenomenon of the "secular Jew". You will notice that I spoke of ethnic Jewish Christians. Your position is that only Jews have a right to the land of Israel. I suspect that you do this on the basis of the promises of the Old Testament. (If not, please correct me.) If this is so, is it your premise that those ethnic Jews who were obedient to God and accepted Jesus as the promised Messiah were by this act of faith excluded from the land of the promise? Does obedience lead to disinheritance?

Christians NEED to realize that OBSERVANT Jews are the ones who are the only ones w/ the right to Israel.

Would you then call for the secular and nonobservant Jews to leave Israel?

Look I'm not in control of the Israeli gov., but Israel NEEDS to do something to preserve its Jewishness or else it will face extinction. Secular Jews hate the faith their state was founded on so no I don't think they should be considered Israeli citizens either. They should also be taking the loyalty oath along w/ the Arabs.

Either u believe in the Bible or you don't. I didnt write the Old Testament I just follow it.

And how do you know most of these Christians in Israel are really ethnic Jews and not ethnic Arabs? What if Muslims were also ethnic Jews would that make them Jewish? What makes the Jewish religion? Jews don't accept Jesus so I would never say Christians follow Judaism the way it was meant to be followed.
