Whatever you say, hoss.
Was Jesus, by any chance, a Jew?
I don't think you did. Give it a full 3 minutes.
>Isaac wasn't a Jew, huh?
Now I KNOW you didn't read the Profile.
>Was Jesus, by any chance, a Jew?
Of course he was. He came via the Southern Kingdom. Didn't you read the Profile?
Here's what you said in #78:
Partial list of Genesis CHARACTERS WHO WERE NOT JEWISH God, Adam , Eve, Cain, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, Lot, Abraham , Sara, Melchizedek, Eliezer, Hagar, Ishmael, Isaac ,
Did I miss something? Or, more likely, are you insane?
You missed something very elementary. Read the 3-MINUTE HISTORY by clicking on my Profile to come quickly up to speed. -Regards.
>Now I KNOW you didn't read the Profile.
It was your questioning that Isaac WAS NOT a Jew that suggested you had not read the History.
The whole issue of who is a Jew centers around the definition of "Jew". Some devoted Christians are among the LEAST well informed when it comes to such basics, despite their cock-surety that they are absolutely right about everything. It is that cock-surety and their slobbering about loving Jews, not their faith, which is an embarrasement to the rest of Christianity. They don't even seem to know that they and Jews are blood cousins, and recipients of most of the same promises.
The most common definition of "Jew" applies the word only to those who were part of the Southern Kingdom when it returned from Babylon ~500 BC. The next most common dating is when the Northern and Southern Kingdoms split, around 922 BC. By reviewing my 3-MINUTE HISTORY you can see that all who came before these dates were NOT Jews. Hebrews, yes. Israelites, yes. Jews, no.
The Holy Bible.
>What is your point?
To educate Christians and Jews about their common heritage.
> Why do you care about my "slobbering love for the Jews"?
Because you open up Christian "goys" in general to ridicule by Jews (and Christians) who think you are acting like a fool, because you do not know your own history, or theirs.
It's "goyem" when you use the plural, professor. I'll stop answering your tinfoil-hat queries now, and thank you to butt out.
"Let my people go! Liberate isreal from the tyrany of terror."
YEAH BABY!
If they had some decent open ranch land for sale I think I'd move.
I used quotes for your benefit, but when the discussion degenerates to such things it's clear that you have nothing to say. Have a nice day, and try reading the Bible in your spare time. It is amazing what you can learn there.
While as a child Jesus did work around Josephs carpenter shop, there is absolutely no evidence, either Biblical or otherwise, to suggest that after his 12th birthday he spend any time sawing wood and pounding nails. In fact, there are some historic reasons to assume he spent his valuable time doing other things, like maybe traveling.
The old canard about Jesus "never traveling more than a few hundred miles from home "is also without any basis in fact. Along with the sillyness about him being "poor", and a "pacifist".
And what did they look like? Like in the movies?
>I think he had short hair, not long.
I don't know whether it was short or long. But the Bible does say David was "ruddy and fair", (like an Irishman) and Jesus was of the line of David, and both were of the Tribe of Judah. There's no 100% correlation of course, but there is the possibility that they looked somewhat alike in their basic features.
