Not all, but some could be distantly related to Abraham due to the diaspora. That's not fantasy; it's science. Ashkenazi Jews have Semitic DNA. That's a fact. The addition of European admixture doesn't negate their Near East ancestry. And yes, some may even be related to Moses or, more specifically, the priestly line of Aaron. Those with the surname Cohen share a common DNA marker, Cohen Modal Haplotype (CMH), and share a common male ancestor from the Near East around 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. Cohen actually means "priest," and they trace their lineage back to the priestly Kohanim tribe, who trace their lineage to Aaron. Regardless, even if they weren't related to Abraham or Moses, it still wouldn't support the Khazar theory.
Oh,
you’re back with the pseudo-genetic apologetics again?
Let’s break it down for the
reader, since you're trying to wrap spiritual truth in secular science like a Pharisee with a DNA test.
“Some Ashkenazis have Semitic DNA.”
Great — so do
Arabs,
Palestinians,
Aramaic-speaking Christians, and half the Middle East. Are they all "chosen" too?
“Cohen Modal Haplotype proves priestly lineage.”
That’s a laugh. The CMH is a
Y-chromosome marker found in plenty of
non-Jewish Semitic populations as well.
It’s not a divine passport — it’s a
genetic coincidence that proves nothing theologically.
There is
no verse in the New Testament that says,
"Whosoever hath the proper haplotype shall inherit the Kingdom of God."
“Even if they weren't related to Abraham, it still wouldn't support the Khazar theory.”
That’s rich — you bring up DNA and ancestral connection to Abraham and Moses… then
admit it doesn’t even matter.
So what’s your point?
You just spent a paragraph trying to sanctify a secular regime with
genetic mysticism — as if that replaces
faith in Christ.
Let’s go back to the Word of God:
"They are not all Israel who are of Israel... that is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise." — Romans 9:6–8
Your argument boils down to this:
“Look at this DNA strand. Worship it.”
That’s not Christianity. That’s ethnic idolatry wrapped in Scofield footnotes and pseudo-rabbinic folklore.
Here’s the truth:
The covenant is
in Christ alone.
Not in Y-chromosomes, not in surnames, and not in a secular state founded in 1948.
The real priesthood is now
spiritual, not genealogical (1 Peter 2:9).
The real temple is the
Body of Christ, not a rebuilt structure in Jerusalem.
So no — I’m not impressed with your haplotype.
I’ll stick with the Gospel.
And if you’re still trusting your salvation, your land rights, or your “chosen” status on a strand of DNA or a surname?
You’re not preaching Jesus.
You’re preaching genetic Gnosticism.
