Oh, more of this "Christ wasn't a jew BS.
Sorry, Jesus Christ was a jew.
Do inform the greatest theologians that ever lived, during the Reformation, that Christ wasn't a jew.
Stop repeating fake jewish talking points and undo your programming.
He was Judean.
He was a Hebrew, how's that?
It's not possible, that you yourself are a little 'programmed'?
Again, consult the greatest theologians of all time, who destroyed the papacy with a quill pen.
You'll take Mullins over them?
Christ's lineage is traced from King David, Christ's father was a Hebrew.
Christ eschewed his own people, not because they were Hebrews, but because they were evil.
YU Won’t accept jewry as the truth???
NO
Jesus was an Israelite. He was a direct descendant of Levi through Aaron.1 Levi was a son of Jacob. Jacob was named Israel by God.2 Jesus was also a direct descendant of Judah through David. Judah was also a son of Jacob.3 Jacob’s sons were the first Israelites. Jesus was specifically an Israelite because he was a direct descendant of two of the sons of Jacob/Israel.
Hopefully this explains the confusion on why he is frequently referred to as a Jew. He was a Hebrew, an Israelite, and a Judahite. He was not a Jew. Jew refers to an entirely different people and is a modern word (roughly 1000 years old). The confusion serves them. Jesus explicitly calls them out and rebukes them for their false claims of linage.

Thanks for the info, I'd have to research it more to see If I'd agree.
We only know what we read, you have people you trust, I have people I trust.
Whether those sources can 'come together' I don't know, but it's not that much of an issue for me.
Jesus explicitly calls them out and rebukes them for their false claims of linage.
Jesus upbraids them for much more damning things than lineage of course (if indeed he did do that).
Don't forget, Jews even claim Abraham was a Jew. Jews claim much. It's important to shake off their revisionism.
