I suppose you realize you're denying scholarly history to say that there is no "race of Jews."

I am not denying that many are descended from Abraham. I am not denying that Jews can trace their ancestry back for many generations. However, you must realize that the Arabs also claim descent from Abraham, but, and it is a real big but, the promise contained in the Plan of Salvation, came through Isaac and Jacob, and David, not thru Ishmael and Mohammed. Isn't this what the trouble in the world today is all about or partly?

Is there a "Christian Race"? Are Greeks Christian? How about the Irish? Or the Italians, or the Spanish?

Or do Christians of all races know that "by grace they are saved"? Do we claim descent from Japtheth and that saves us? Of course not. Like Abraham, we believe.

If race saves, then the Arabs have as much claim to the Plan of Salvation thru Mohammed as Christians do thru Jesus. They believe that, but Jews and Christians do not.
