BF2S Forums Genuine Jews: a matter of heritage or Religious commitment

So was Jesus a Jew or not going by these arguments?

Jesus was a Jewish Christian after he died, but before he died he was a Jewish Jew.

My dad is Jew, my mother isn't and I don't practice any Religion.  Nevertheles, by heritage, I'm half Jew.  The thing you don't practice Judaism doesn't mean you are no longer a Jew, coz you have it in your blood.  If not, then explain why there are so many deseases common to Ashkenazi Jews and or Jewish individual with eastern European origin.  Because they go to the Temple?  I don't think so.

Rubbish, its just a common that until recently no one married outside of Judaism and therefore it was basically incest on a very large scale (not enough vastly different genes), at some point all these people came from the same region in the world, thats the only reason they have common ancestry. Theres also the fact that people rarely converted 50+ years ago, meaning Judaism doesn't leave the family so to speak.

Yeah, my jew house mate used to get annoyed, he doesnt anymore. To be fair though, they call themselves Jews...

What separates us as a species is very little by comparison to the rest of the animal world.

So Asians are just as likely to grow 6' tall as a European?  Africans are just as likely to have a light skin pigment as an Eskimo? 

I think their are distint traits among different ethnic groups.  So to say that we should all be human first and endowed with the same rights.

sergeriver i don't care who was your father and who you are. According to Torah if you not follow its teachings in every aspect of their lives you are not jew. Ever heard of word goy?

True Torah jews believe that God sent them in exile for some kind of punishement and jews are not allowed to have a land of their own until God forgive them.

"We are in exile by Divine Decree and may emerge from exile solely via Divine Redemption"

So if according to you, only real jews are the ones following the Torah..  you must get out of israel asap because the Torah tells you that you are not suppose to have your own land until Divine Redemption.

Am i missing something here? Or maybe you only choose what is good for you in the Torah and you choose to ignore the rest?

Then if it's the case, according to yourself, you must not be a real jew for not following the teachings of the Torah.
