but also tradition is adopted and changed and that adoption could have nothing to to with bloodlines.
Why would I care what you think about who I am ? you think I spend a second about what you think you are ? I live me life and educate my kids very well without your approval I assure you - - - Updated - - - Converts, someone converted the converts and I never heard of a case in History where the new members completely overrun the older ones and their bloodline.
i dont care what you are, you can call yourself whatever you like, i know who the lineal descendants of Israel are, thanks. sure someone converted the converts that is a circular argument. still doesnt make any of them a lineal descendant.
It only proves you have no idea and no way to make that call, but we agree you and me don't care for it anyways, so G'day.
what kind of question is that? they have a nose, two eyes and ears.....what do you think they look like lol.
Israel was destroyed by Ashur, Babylon conquered Judea and Jerusalem because the ppl tried to revolt together with Egypt and some other weak nations. = God was angry....
some are brown, they are scattered all over the world. - - - Updated - - - right, so the almighty got angry and scattered Israel yes? didnt the almighty warn them that this would happen? if so why did they not heed his warnings?
It was a long time ago I honestly can't remember, assuming the Judeans were punished by God, wasn't it also said a day will come and the ppl will be re-united ?, the idea of redemption is what escorted the Judeans throu all those years even after the last destruction by the Romans.
yes sure but i just wanted to see if you were going to admit it was Israels own disobedience that was the reason for the exile but i guess not.
I'm not that spiritual to be honest, IMO God (if exists) doesn't spend that much time thinking about us as we would like him to, IMO the Bible is an historic record tainted with lots of politics to appease, rouse or sedate the ppl of its relative time. But you are spiritual, so assuming they were punished, what now ? how can you tell an Israelite ?
And the separate European and Eastern Jewish communities got nothing to do with the scattered Judeans ? how do you suppose those communities formed and at what era ?
by the curses that would befall them if they were disobedient [which they were and why they got exiled] it was written out in the 1st edition.
