History doesn’t support your position.



Some have believed Jesus is the promised Messiah, most haven’t.

as a nation they rejected him

explain the Jewish religion please

1st there are 12 tribes of Israel not one!

“Pre-Christian Judaism was the true religion; post-Christian Judaism is an incomplete religion because it lacks recognition of the Messiah it anticipates.”

Christ was a Jew, so why don’t Catholics observe Judaism?

At least this Catholic source (“Catholic Answers”) acknowledges that Jews had and still have a religion. Why do you think they do that?

what covenant is Judaism under?
Why eliminate 11 of the tribes

I don’t agree with the modernists at catholic answers

That’s fine, but why do you think they say the Jews had and still have a religion? Why would they say that they did and do if there is no historical support for it?

no, and there is no such thing as a Jewish religion, it was the mosaic covenant but it’s fulfilled and replaced by the new covenant church! There is no temple, no ark, no priesthood, no sacrifice and no mediator of the old covenant all are reformed by Christ in the new covenant’

There is no such thing as a Jewish religion? Are you nuts? Try going to any synagogue on Saturday and/or talk to any rabbi!

There still is a "temple" (cathedral), a (separate) priesthood, a (celebrated) sacrifice, and mediators of the old covenant: Catholic priests!

Enough of your blatant anti-Semitism! You're simply a grafted in branch and the root (the Jews) support you. Read your Bible!

Romans 11:17-18, " Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among them and participated in the richness of the olive root, do not boast over the branches. But if you boast, remember that you do not support the root, but the root supports you."

The Mosaic Covenant.



After Solomon died, 10 tribes (the Kingdom of Israel) abandoned Judaism; the remaining tribes (the Kingdom of Judah) retained Judaism, with sporadic ventures into idolatry.

phil 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;

paul was not a Jew!

Acts 4:36
And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,

Barnabas not a Jew!

Lk 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth

neither were Jews!

we are in the new covenant
New priesthood according to melchisedec not Levi
The sacrifice of Christ in His body the temple

there as the successors of Moses Matt 23 but the kingdom was taken from them Matt 21:43 given to peter and the apostles

Lk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

Daniel 7:18
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.

You quoted scripture which documents that both Paul and Barnabas were Jews.
