Hey Mr. Jones, you DO realize that Jesus was Jewish, right?
You don't realize how badly you have been misled. Was Jesus a Jew because of his religion or his race?
Jesus followed the TRUE religion under the old testament and the laws given to Moses and was always rebuking those self appointed 'chosen people" or "Jews" for abandoning this and not adhering to Gods laws.
They instead followed the Babylonian Talmud which was called "the tradition of the elders". He told them that he came not to destroy Gods laws but to fulfill God's laws and what the prophets before him said would come to pass -Matthew 5:17-18.
This Talmudic Judaism religion is not the same as the one found in the Old Testament. The True religion of the old testament was the REAL religion of the Hebrews, NOT JEWS, and the Babylonian Talmud marked the beginning of Judaism. A scholarly Rabbi made this wise distinction many years ago, and said Jesus followed what he referred to as "Hebrewism", and those that followed the "teachings of the elders" or the Talmud are Jews and follow Judaism.
Jesus did not follow this Talmudic teaching for it bastardizes Gods word and his true intention for them and who they are intended for. Thus Jesus was not a Jew, by religion.
In Matthew 15: 1-9 he speaks to these elders concerning this when they asked him why He transgresses the teachings of the elders.
Even unto this day the Jews adhere to the Talmud, and it is a requirement that Rabbi's be well schooled in this disgusting, anti -Christ teaching source.
So then was Jesus a Jew by race?
The racial ancestry of Jesus and the Jews must be traced to answer this and it gets complicated, but briefly,
Jesus was a member of the tribe of Judah, and no true Judah-ite was a Jew by race.
Jesus Christ was a pure blooded Israelite.
The Jews are not and according to Jesus own words, were not Israelites, despite what you have been misled to believe, Jews and Israelites are not the same things.
In Matthew 15:24 Jesus stated, "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel" He even tells his disciples to go and preach, not to the gentiles (of his time) but instead to the house of Israel. If the Jews were a part of Israel, then they would have been considered a part of his lost sheep.
In John 10 Jesus says-"I am the good Shepard, and I know my sheep, and they know me".
BUT he tells the Jews, "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep."
Jesus clearly referred to his sheep, as the Israelites, and that they know him and therefore hear him. So the Jews are not considered part of any tribe of Israel, who the hell are these people?
It seems that the Jews are made of of different Canaanite peoples, and it gets complicated with Judah violating Gods command to not marry a Canaanite women, but Jesus is not a Jew by religion or race, and what many are choosing to believe out of ignorance and laziness are falsehoods and lies.
Therefore my opinion that the modern false state of Israel from their false Talmudic Judaism religion, to the fervent nationalism and racist political Zionism, are taken into account combined with the tight grip they have on the United States of America, which I consider the powerful nation deceived spoken of, they are my first choice to be the Anti Christ.
