SO then actually what you are saying is that people are born as Jews and Gentiles even if your Mother is a Muslim and Father is a Jew you are still born a *Gentile*?

Judaism I suppose is the only religion you can be born into and become that automatically upon your birth from your birth mother...

To be a Christian you have to make a decision all on your own to convert to the gospel of Jesus Christ..

Islam I am un-sure if they convert or are forced automatically by there Muslim parents..

On thing that is interesting in the Book of Revelation is it says” The temple in Israel will be over-run by the gentiles which could be Arabs, Atheists or Pagans....

Judaism believes that God established certain laws for Jews (613 commandments) and certain laws for all mankind (7 commandments). God also established laws to define who is within the Jewish people, and thus obligated to keep the full set of 613 commandments. Under God’s law, yes, you receive the status of a Jew by being born of a Jewish mother (much like, under American law, you are usually an American at birth if one of your parents is). Non-Jews can freely choose to undertake the obligation of the 613 commandments, and thus convert to become Jews. But Jews cannot abscond and reject their obligation to keep the commandments.
