Jesus is God.
And Jewish.
>Semites
Descendants of Shem, son of Noah.
>Hebrews
Those who crossed over the River Jordan after the Exodus.
>Israelites
Citizens of the nation of Israel
>Jews
No clear definition. Used to mean any, some, or all of the above. Does not mean "Judah only" because Judah was never alone, not even in the Southern Kingdom.
>Anyone know the difference. (and yes, I do)
[doubt]
Seems like you don't know who the Jewish Mashiach is, or the King of the Jews. Or the Seed of Abraham, the Root and Branch of David, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Alpha and the Omega, the LORD Yehoshua.
Remember when Trump said we spend trillions of dollars and thousands of lives to make other people rich, and we didn't even take the oil?
Yeah.
We get played a lot.
Nonsense.
Abram left that place, left his father, left his pagan gods, and followed the one true God.
He was blessed with descendants.
His son Isaac had a son, Jacob.
Jacob had 12 sons.
God changed Jacob's name (trickster) to Israel (wrestles with God and Man).
Israel's 12 sons became the 12 tribes of Israel.
There were Jews prior to the Babylonian captivity. Ezra writes of them. They are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And the one true God is the God that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob knew, and worshiped.
And not all Jews are khazar converts.
There are Sephardic Jews, and Mizrahi Jews, who were not converts, but have the blood of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob flowing through their veins.
You'll know better when you face the living God.
Was it?
Jesus is the Son of David, of the ruling class in Judah, a direct descendant to David through his Mother, Mary, via Nathan, and an adopted descendant of David through Joseph, whose line traced back to David through the kingly line, Solomon's line.
And Jesus is not under the Curse of Jeconiah.
So, is it?
And Jesus taught the Law of Moses in the Temple in Jerusalem in occupied Israel, and they marveled at his teaching.
How was it he was not of their religion?
Circumcised at 8 days, raised to teach in the Temple, kept the festivals, kept the rites, rituals, and kept kosher, and most importantly, and uniquely, kept the entire Law of Moses.
Which no one else has ever been able to do.
So how is his claim to the throne of David marred in any way?
How are his credentials as a Jew compromised in any way?
(they're not)
The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary's birth, not Jesus'.
You should probably know some of this stuff before you try to teach it to others.
God took Abrahm out of Ur of the Chaldeas, and made him Abraham, the Father of Faith.
Translators did an awesome job. Read the text.
It's a shame more people don't know how closely related that pic is to this one.
Only in this pic, God did not stay the hand of the Father to slay the Son.
Only in this pic, the Son needed help carrying the wood up to the place of sacrifice.
Only in this pic, the Son had a crowd at the top of Mt. Moraiah, and was not alone.
And in both, the 30s son willingly lay their life in their Father's hands, knowing that God is Life, and that God is the Resurrection, and knowing that if the Son had to die, the Son would also rise.
Shame more people don't know that God wasn't kidding when he inspired Abraham to tell Isaac "God will provide Himself a Lamb for the sacrifice."
And God did.
On Nisan 14, 32 AD, when mankind used God's love to kill God's only begotten Son.
Your search, so far, has limited God to "literally everything".
You have a lot of work to do.
Good news is that yes, God does love you, and promised you that if you seek Jesus with all of your heart, you will find Him.
Knock, and the door will be opened.
Seek, and you will find.
Ask, and the answer will be given to you.
Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Well, to begin with, people who post here who can't google "The Turner Diaries".
Mary's genealogy, given by Luke, traces Heli, Mary's father, to Nathan, to David, of the House of David, Tribe of Judah.
Moses was of the tribe of Levi, eventually, as his brother Aaron was the High Priest, and Moses their greatest prophet.
You didn't exist then.
So maybe take the written records more seriously.
And you likely don't know that Zoroaster was a Persian who encountered the Jews in Babylon when Cyrus overthrew Babylon with the help of the Medes.
And that Zoroaster was quite taken both with Daniel's College of the Magi, and the Jewish texts they brought with them into captivity.
He took those texts, his own local pagan fire god religion, and coined his own amalgam that was completely and utterly useless.
I've posted here thousands of times.
Never once positively posted about "religion".
That's your strawman.
That's your escape.
Becoming a born again Christian is your consent to be permanently transformed from a spiritually dead human being into a living new creation in Christ Jesus, that can be made fit to live with God forever, as God always intended.
And there is only one way, the Way of the Cross, that accomplishes that.
So the devil started literally every manmade religion to distract you from the narrow path that is the substitutionary sacrifice of Christ Jesus, the payment for sin, which made the free offer of salvation possible.
God said it does.
And God said it wasn't good enough.
And God said it wasn't a guarantee of salvation, or eternal life, or a relationship with the living God.
That if all the Father wanted was people with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob's DNA, the Father would have just made some out of rocks.
Because that's what He does.
He creates things.
Maybe you need to pay more attention to what God says, and what God is trying to create out of you.
When you get reviled enough, then consider why God Himself would come down from heaven to be tortured to death, just so that you wouldn't automatically have to be cast into eternal darkness and fire forever.
That Jesus took your sins on Himself, to pay the death price of them, so that you might choose to love God back, repent, and be saved.
When sin makes you sick, start learning what "He who knew no sin, became sin" means.
And why God loved you so much that he couldn't live without you, so he died.
And then rose from the dead.
Yes, I wanted to set the stage to contrast "religion" with what I have posted here thousands of times.
Because the devil has convinced you that all religions are bad, Christianity is a religion, and therefore Christianity is bad.
Clever fellow, that devil.
Got to give him his due.
But yes, that's how sentence and paragraph construction work to deliver a cohesive message, and not armchair psychoanalysis without training or basis in fact.
You didn't even know that Heli was Mary's father, or that Mary had no brothers.
Or that the word for father and father-in-law are the same in Hebrew.
Or that in the Greek, a woman's genealogy always carries an indefinite article.
How incomplete is your research in this area?
Are you not therefore evil?
They're all evil, and they're all run by the devil.
If you learned nothing today, learn that.
Religion = Religio = System of Bondage
