Christianity is NOT Derived From Judaism

Well if Josephus says so it must be true.

Yet Paul says :
Romans 4:11-12 ASV
and he (Abraham),received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had while he was in uncircumcision: that he might be the father of all them that believe,though they be in uncircumcision, that righteousness might be reckoned unto them; [12] and the father of circumcision to them who not only are of the circumcision, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham which he had in uncircumcision.

Romans 11:16-17 ASV
And if the first-fruit is holy, so is the lump: and if the root is holy, so are the branches. [17] But if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive, wast grafted in among them, and didst become partaker with them of the root of the fatness of the olive tree;

Was Jesus born a Jew? Even if your absurd rationalization of John 8:44 were true, it doesn’t change the fact that other books of the Bible use Jew in a different sense. In Acts, Luke referred to Jews as the hono keepers of the law. In Romans, Paul talked of advantages of being a Jew In God’s divine plan.



Wrong. The Jewish descendants conquered Canna at God’s command.

Jesus was born a Jew, wasn’t he?

How are your comprehension skills? Jesus is a Galillean; the Scripture states HE SHALL BE CALLED A NAZERENE, not a Jew. Furthermore, is Yahweh God Jewish? Do you understand modern translations lump Israelite Judeans in the same basket as Canaanite Judeans, as well as others, to include converts to Judaism?
Wake up man.

But "Jew" originally meant "of the tribe of Judah." Jesus was certainly that. Indeed, He is called the Lion of the tribe of Judah:

NKJV Rev 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."

Yes, true.

Yet, Jesus did not grow up there, or live there. When His ministry began, He didn't go to the Jews. His ministry was in Galilee. He later preached and healed in Perea, the Decapolis, and Trans-Jordan. All of those places were historically parts of Israel that were not Judah.

When Jesus DID go to Judea, He went for the feasts, and He hid the fact that He was traveling there.

And He just straight up tells us:

Matthew 15:24 But [Jesus] answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Jesus was (re)establishing Israel, bringing back all the lost tribes. That mission didn't take Him to the Jews, because their tribe wasn't lost.

It is recognized that most Jews are taught to dislike Josephus, because Josephus and those soldiers with him in the war with the Romans all agreed to commit suicide to prevent from being taken and tortured. It was agreed that the soldiers would kill each other, and the last one remaining would kill himself. Josephus was last, and he didn't do it. So the Jews hate him for that and try to smear his works on Israel's history.
