I disagree, at least in part. As God told Abraham his righteousness was because of his faith, so it is for me as a Christian. Was Jesus Jewish? Yes, born of the tribe of Judah makes it so. Did he fulfill the law of Moses (Torah)? Yes. Having been born again, am I now counted righteous by his sacrifice? Yes. Is my faith now counted as righteousness like Abraham's was? Yes. Was Abraham a Jew? Nope, although he was a Hebrew. There were no Jews until after Judah, hence the name Judaism. Jesus fulfilled the Law of Moses, who was also a Hebrew, and not a Jew. The so-called "star of David" is actually the symbol for Moloch, and the religion it represented was absolutely prohibited. Fast forward to today and we are on the other side of the Babylonian captivity and much of what I understand to be modern Judaism is more in line with the Talmud than the Torah.
All that being said, I find most mainline churches to be exactly as you have said in your post: Loyal to the Zionists, waiting on some Riberian-esque rapture that will take them away before life gets hard, and wholly ignorant in many ways of what their Bible actually says, and just going along with whatever someone they perceive to be an "authority" says.
Might I be wrong also? Yep, but if I am, I am also open to correction if warranted.
I largely agree with what you've stated. But you are still conflating Jew with Judean. Of all the tribes, why do they require a name change? And without any explanation? Ever.
I sincerely hope and politely request you'll invest in the link(s) I've provided here.

Thank you,
I suggest reading, “The Invention of the Jewish People” by Solomon Sand. It reveals much.
Will check it out. TY.
Agreed, but I also don't have that answer. I'm still learning, and sometimes that means finding a mistake somewhere and correcting it. The truth has been hidden, obfuscated, disguised, made to appear as something else, and the job is and has been very thorough.
I still have a lot of questions, and some things haven't even developed into questions yet, but I never stop looking. What else am I going to do? Get a facebook account and post pictures of my food? Not likely.
Well said. I will take your post under consideration .
