>St. Bernard ... Ask anyone who knows the Sacred Scriptures what he finds foretold of the Jews in the Psalm. "Not for their destruction do I pray," it says. The Jews are for us the living words of Scripture, for they remind us always of what our Lord suffered....

An interesting article, but it's important to keep the definitions straight. Did St. Bernard not know that David, writer of the Psalms, was not a Jew? And that there were no Jews when the Psalms were written? Gotta know the players without a scorecard:

Partial list of Biblical CHARACTERS WHO WERE NOT JEWISH

Genesis: God, Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, Seth, Enoch, Methuselah, Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, Lot, Abraham,
Sara, Melchizedek, Eliezer, Hagar, Ishmael, Isaac, Abimelech, Rebekah, Laban, Keturah, Esau, Jacob/Israel, Leah,
Rachel, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dinah,
Potiphar, Tamar, Perez, Zerah, Manasseh, Ephraim.

Exodus: Moses, Zipporah, Gershom, Jethro, Aaron, Eleazar, Joshua, Hur, Nadab, Abihu, Ithamar, Bezalel, Uri,
Nun, Oholiab, Ahisamach.

Leviticus: Mishael, Elzaphan, Uzziel, Molech, Shelomith, Dibri.

Others: David, Solomon and Sampson were not Jews, among many others...

And what, exactly, is your definition of a Jew?

Try again. Judah son of Israel/Joseph was the first Jew. The Term Jew comes from the tribe or Judah, who patriarch was Judah!

Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin, Dinah, Potiphar, Tamar, Perez, Zerah, Manasseh, Ephraim.

I believe that Perez was Judah's son, se he was a Judean.

Exodus: Moses, Zipporah, Gershom, Jethro, Aaron, Eleazar, Joshua, Hur, Nadab, Abihu, Ithamar, Bezalel, Uri, Nun, Oholiab, Ahisamach.

I'm pretty sure that Uri was of the tribe of Judah. As for Zipporah, she was a Midianite who converted as was her father Jethro.

Others: David, Solomon and Sampson were not Jews, among many others...

No, no, no! David and Solomon were of the Tribe of Judah. Solomon's son Rehobam ticked off the norther tribes leading to the split with the tribe of Judah dominating the southern kingdom.

Lost Tribe. Your European=Lost Tribe theroy was silly before. Now it has gone into actually being against the Bible. Go read the bible.
