[QUOTE="Kid Twist, post: 1299505, member: 10894"] It is a bit of trivia, I explained it, of course he was a "Jew" but literally the Greek word from the bible is "Judean", someone from Judea, the Roman named province, which was the last remnant of the non-lost 12 tribes and what else??? They had the temple. So while their cousins the Galileans were in fact part of "Israel" in their estimation, they were looked down on. Why else would Nathanael say "Can anything good come out of Nazareth (Galilee)?" [John 1st chapter] For reasons I said, he was NOT a jew in the sense of what you refer to Jews as nowadays, on several ways of thinking --- many things were lost from 2nd temple judaism (that's "Jewish" regarding Christ) and the pharisees added much. The point is, orthodox Christians have all things "jews" lack, and are the actual "Israel of God". To further hammer home the point, no one would call Christ a pharisee, correct? That's what/who modern "jews" fathers are. That locks the case down, no possible rebuttal. [/QUOTE]
