That would be oxymoronic, because Jewish is a religion which that religion contradicts with Christianity in many ways. Jews persecuted many Jews in the beginning of Christianity and far more christens died in WW1 and WW2 than Jews, but the Christian religion does not get as much recognition as the Jewish for many silly reasons.

Also there no more Jewish people as a race since they are not Semitic since Semitic people look dark skin like Middle Eastern people. Even Christ does not look like the white person in pictures but look Semitic.

What are you talking about..what does this have to do with the question of anyone being Jewish?

Wow that's a very bold statement. Is this a Christian Orthodox belief? Too bad Hitler didn't believe this because maybe he would have spared the millions of people he 'mistakenly' thought were Jewish.

I would like to read up on this concept of 'no more Jewish people as a race', do you have any links to support this?

If I come across harsh,I'm sorry, I just don't understand where coming from, but am interested in learning where you get your information.

But aren't the Arabic people dark skinned because Abraham had Ishmael with Hagar, who was an Egyptian?

Though I heard that some Hebrews can be dark.

Fine info is from historians, Jewish historians, official Jewish statements, scientific research, news articles, etc. Look it up yourself to know more.

Also this topic contradicts. It is like someone asking if there are any straight people in a gay bar. Even if there what’s the point of them being in their?

ahh...warsong, we missed the
firemaker is just being funny

I'm still interested in the basis of what you are saying. I just haven't found a site with historical data to support it yet. But, I'll keep looking. It does bring up a bigger question of what constitutes a 'race'? Is it DNA matching? and how much common DNA must match? Have studies been done? I'll keep looking.

There is no historical evidence to support the idea that the Jewish ethnicity no longer exists. IT may not be proper to say race exactly because the distinquishing factor of "Jew" is descent from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. It is historicaly verifiable that the Jews have been scattered all over the world, and to some degree have mixed with the "races" in the localities that they have been scattered to. Therefor there are black jews that are geneticly descended from the tribes (not just converts to the religion). There are white jews from europe, there are many semetic jews from the middle east, there are even asian jews.

They are still descended from the tribes of Judah. The tribes of Israel and their descendants still exist as well but it has yet to be proven who they are.

Genetic testing has been used to prove who are members of the tribe of levi etc..

Hmmm, senseless bickering. If they want to be a race, so be it, who cares? I don't think it matters how dark Jesus' skin is, he is still the same person. I figure we'll know everything by the time we get to heaven, but by that time, we won't care anymore because we will be in paradise.
