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
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)
