Are the Jews the Chosen People?

Bit late, your replacement theology has already been soundly refuted.

[Jewbacca]

“Apparently it bothers you for me to bring up the basis of Freemasonry being Kabbalah, Solomon’s temple, etc. Sorry ‘bout that.”

Apparently, you are crazy. I could care less about what Freemasons and even less about what you think about them.

“And I didn’t even mention Kabbalah is also the basis of almost every form of witchcraft and occultic group in the world.”

I have no idea about that. I don’t doubt crazy people distort religion, just like you distort things.

“Are you running cover for your Kabbalist brethren?”

I don’t know a thing about Kabbala.

I do think you are running from men in little white coats who need to take you away.

Surely you are not agreeing with Hagee saying Jesus did not come as the Messiah?

Appears as tho Hagee like to 'shock' people by his statements...And obviously it worked...Hagee is not wrong but he doesn't go into detail (during that session) to really clarify it...

Jesus did not come AS the Messiah...Jesus came to BE the Messiah...Jesus was born to die...

Joh 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Of course this verse has been altared in all the bibles except the KJV but the truth is there...Jesus' kingdom is not now, but later...

The Jews were looking for a literal King...They didn't get one, yet...

If I was a female, but my wife wouldn’t probably not go for that ...lol ...I’m a recent Noahide, so I enjoy your posts about Judaism...thanks!

Technically Jewish people are either:

1. With some or all Semitic blood (and I think that most European: Sephardic/Ashkenazi jews have some non-Semitic blood as do Indian and Ethiopian Jews while Yemeni jews are the "purest")
2. No Semitic blood (Sammy Davis Jr. -- converts)

Many Jews lived in Arabia, Mesopotamia etc. and definitely Arabs will have some Jewish blood. Ditto for indians from Maharashtra (Bene-Israeli) and Ethiopians (probably more so for Ethiopians), Poles and Italians(due to centuries of inter-mingling) and to a lower extent Spaniards/Portuguese and Germans

Those without this blood are mostly going to be Russians (due to strict rules -- but I could be wrong based on Khazar history), English (as the Jews were kicked out early and when they were allowed back were strictly segregated) and Scandanavians (low interaction) and sub-Saharan, south of Ethiopian Africans and South-East Asians and Chinese/Japanese/Koreans

Well could you do us a favor? Woud you mind choosing somebody else for a change?

:)

That's the only reason the Poles and Jews argue -- they can't decide who are the chosen people!

[Cronos]

I’m sorry to disagree, but in my humble opinion, present day Judaens/Jews are now just of the tribe of Judah but will have blood from other tribes (besides Benjamin and Simeon that were intermingled in Judah and of course the Levites)

Then you admit that Hagee's words sound heretical in the video:

The best you can say is that Hagee's words need further explanation. Heresy is a tremendous evil and it is wrong to give even the appearance of heresy. However, when Hagee does explain further, he confirms that he is indeed a heretic by saying that Jesus did not come as the Christ.

I am not sure anything in your post had anything to do with mine.

Chill out...

There are few religions more heretical than yours...

Hagee did not say that Jesus did not come as the Christ...Why are you making more stuff up???

I am Jewish.

Comedy album, from 1964:

Home from the office: (with Jewish accent a must)

Man: Sweetheart, you’re honey bunch is home, where are you?
Wife: I’m hiding.

Man: I have a surprise for you, where are you?
Wife: I’m hiding.

Man: I have those gold earrings you wanted, where are you?

IN THE FRONT CLOSET!

I am told the following comes from Jewish sources.

If not, or if any Jewish person is offended, I hope they will forgive me.

I collected it from something recently, but did not save the source.

---

Goldberg, the representative of the Jewish people on earth, wanted to meet the boss.

The arrangements were made, and Goldberg was soon ushered into the Gates of Heaven.

He was expected.

After a short delay, he was brought into the office.

Goldberg said, Hello, I am Goldberg, the representative of the Jewish people on earth. They have sent me here to see YOU.

The Boss responded, Yes, Mr. Goldberg, what can I do for You?

Goldberg approached HIM. You see, they wanted me to ask you if it is true, that we Jews are the chosen people?

The Boss said loud and clear, YES Mr. Goldberg YOU are the chosen people.

Goldberg hesitated a moment, but then spoke.

Well could you do us a favor? Would you mind choosing somebody else for a change?
