I think it’s good to share information and engage in conversations about Christ. I noticed this community has a lot of “religious” posts but I’m often seeing common misconceptions and a lot of negativity or hopelessness.
Are religious posts encouraged on this forum? I have been working on a series of posts over on the christianity . win and I’m wondering if there would be more conversation by posting here
The word Jew did not exist at the time of Christ.
Was the descriptive word "jew" sloppily applied in the King James version of the bible? What does it actually mean in the context of the KJV?
I had not investigated that word yet. I’ve picked this verse at random for discussion:
from strongs:
ioudaios Ἰουδαῖος
ESV also translates it as “jews”
What makes Jesus "jewish" ? The place he was born? His lineage?
Why should a non-jew follow a jewish god who only chose jews as disciples and only preached to jews and gave racial preference to jews and was murdered by lying jews?
Or is God a jokester and made Jesus a jew because jews are devilish fucks and He wanted to REALLY test our faith? It's hard enough to believe God would ever manifest in human flesh. But as a LYING WICKED UGLY JEW?!? They certainly tried to test ones faith.
I think you’re confusing two things here: ancient Judaism (aka the Hebrews that worshipped YHWH) and modern Judaism which rejects YHWH.
Are you familiar with the “70 nations”?
This verse could be said to be a culmination of that topic (lol spoiler alert)
