skeptruth (and others), I have a related question:
How will Christians be able to tell the return of Christ from the coming of the anti-Christ?
I feel for the Jews.
my real name
Hi, my real name, personally, I don’t believe that the Bible is God’s word. I posted several links one of them is:
Why the Jews don’t believe in Jesus?

If you take your time and read it, you will see that the NT is all bogus and an obvious Roman Catholic adaptation of ancient manuscripts to blame the Jews for Jesus’s crucifixion. Anyhow after 2000 years of a story that started only based on hearsay with no extrabiblical provable evidence, I wouldn’t pay much believable attention to the whole thing. From the jewish waiting of their Messiah or the 2nd coming , christian version. Thanks, Eddie
May i ask,
which part of the Bible is Jewish , and which part of it is Christian?
Hi, Donnie Darko Fan, if you have a Bible at hand you will see that is divided in two sections, one is the OT or Aramaic-Hebrew Scriptures and the other is the NT or the Greek Christian Scriptures.
So , are Hebrews jewish?
Jews, in modern usage, synonymous with Hebrews and Israelites; historically and ethnically, however, the words have different meanings. As a general historical term, the word Hebrew has no ethnic connotation, being applied to any of numerous Semitic, nomadic tribes dwelling in the eastern Mediterranean area before 1300BC. In Jewish history, the term is applied specifically to those tribes that accepted Yahweh as their deity, from the time of their prehistoric origins to the time they conquered ancient Palestine (called Canaan) and, about 1020BC, became a united nation ruled by a king. The term Israelite connotes a particular ethnic and national group, descended from the Hebrews and united culturally by their religion; the term is historically descriptive of this group from the conquest of Canaan to the destruction of the kingdom of Israel in 721BC by the Assyrian king Sargon II. The term Jew refers to a third group, the cultural descendants of the first two, from the time of their return from the so-called Babylonian Captivity to the present. The word itself stems ultimately from the Hebrew yehudhi, originally meaning a member of the Hebrew tribe of Judah, the ancient territory of which was organized as the Roman province of Judaea in AD6. The English word Jew is derived directly from the Latin Judaeus, meaning an inhabitant of Judea.
Modern Jews are members of a separate ethnic community or fellowship rather than of a race-a community that, in the face of incessant and terrible persecution, has maintained its identity for almost 19 centuries, from the final dissolution of the Roman province of Judea in AD135 to the establishment of the modern state of Israel in 1948. In 1970 the Israeli Knesset adopted legislation defining a Jew as any one born of a Jewish mother or of a convert. The remarkable preservation of Jewish group identity has resulted, primarily, from strict adherence to Judaism, with which Jewish history is inextricably bound. This religion governs Jewish life in every aspect, requires the education of the young, and includes in its traditional doctrines hope for and faith in the establishment of a messianic kingdom. Although reform movements began to affect Judaism in the 19th century, the survival of all Jewish communities was the result of the piety with which preceding generations had adhered to the Jewish Law. A distinguishing characteristic of the Jewish people has been their respect for and devotion to education and learning, which are considered acts of worship.
