Well, the Koran speaks against anyone who calls Jesus the son of God, even claiming that Jesus is going to appear on the last day and deny that he’s the son of God in several versus. The Koran denies Jesus’ crucifixion (claiming that it was an illusion or hologram or something to make it look like he was crucified), instead saying that he was caught up alive to “Allah” in heaven. As long as they believe that, they will come up with all sorts of stuff to justify the Koranic viewpoint.
” So, Cleopatra was quite possibly AfroGreek.”
The Macedonians in Alexandria were notoriously inbred; they wouldn’t even marry Greeks. They were the ruling social strata and wouldn’t compromise their status. It wasn’t until Julius Caesar pressured them that Macedonians started to mix with Greeks.
Cleo, of the royal line, would have been pure Macedonian.
“Jesus’s ethnicity? The opinions are all over the place.”
His ancestors are all Jews, as listed in his genealogy, which is available.
“Others say he was born in Bethlehem, which makes his ethnicity the ancestors of Palestinians.”
Bethlehem was the city of David, king of the Jews (whose title Jesus also inherited as his descendant). If he was a Bethlehemite, then he was a Jew.
if there was ever a stupid notion, it was that Jesus was a mere phantom who only appeared to have a human body.
Whatever anybody wishes to believe about Jesus and His Divinity, that he was born a baby of Mary the Jew in (probably) Bethleham in Judea and lived as a (Jewish) HUMAN BEING in Judea/Israel is beyond dispute. We know that there were Gnostic influences in the koran.... here’s one of the chief such influences, to deny Jesus son of Mary.
I guess that once they remake Jesus into a mere phantasm then he may as well belong to a phoney, non-existent ethnic group, too.
It all fits together, they deny Jesus existed in any real sense of the word and then they want to shove him into a non-existent category or classification of people that don’t exist as a real entity either.
Abbas, you don’t have to believe in Christianity but please stop making up lies about Jesus! It is insulting, it is blasphemous. And you never know when the good Christians of the world might start punishing blasphemers like you IslamoNazis punish Christians and Jews......
