Im about to show my ignorance here, but whoopi goldberg got suspended from her show for 2 weeks because of what she said about the holocaust. And the question that i had was, are jews a race or religion??
If someone said they were a hebrew, isnt that the same as being jewish?
God DIVIDED men. Hebrews and Gentiles.
Hebrews were given a LAWFUL RELIGION Called MOSAIC LAW.
God DIVIDED men. Hebrew 12 TRIBES of ISRAEL and Gentiles.
12 TRIBES of ISRAEL divided themselves FROM amongst themselves.
Gentiles divided themselves FROM amongst themselves.
Divided Gentiles made up their own ‘gods’ and religions.
OF the Divided TRIBES, some KEPT Mosaic Law, some accepted Gentile ‘gods’.
OF the Divided TRIBES, those who KEPT Mosaic LAW, were primarily the
....the TRIBE of JUDAH, and a portion of the Tribe of Benjamin.
....men of the TRIBE of JUDAH, were called JEWS.
....men of the TRIBE of JUDAH, called Jews, Keeping their Mosaic Religion,
....began calling their RELIGION...JEWISH Religion.
The majority of the OTHER 10 TRIBES were scattered amongst the Gentiles lands, (wars a primary factor).
....Heritage records of Tribesmen often DESTROYED. Tribesmen in Gentile controlled lands, typically treated as a lessor status in society.
....Scattered Tribesmen heritage knowledge for centuries has been Family Oral history. Some adopted Gentile society ways, and blended in the Gentile societies. Some kept their Mosaic Law, widely being called the JEWISH Religion, and continued to Practice their Religion privately in their homes, in their Synagogs. Some did not. The Same continues to this day.
....* men of Tribal Ancestry, practicing their Religion primarily call the Jewish Religion, which falls UNDER the auspice of MOSAIC LAW.
....* Gentile men (some), accepting Jews as friends, neighbors, co-workers, without regard to their Religious Practices.
...* Gentile men (some), having a STRONG DISLIKE (which is hate), Against Anyone whose heritage is of any of the 12 Tribes of Israel (today all calling themselves Broadly....JEWS)...and are called anti-Semitic.
(Semitic relates to Something VERY Ancient, typically closely associated with person whose Ancient history traces back to communication of their Ancient Language.)
ARE JEWS a “RACE”? Yes.
....a RACE is a DIVISION. Division is the KEY term.
Heritages, bloodlines, religions, appearances, nations, citizenships, etc. are all DIVISIONS. It does not mean ONE is SUPERIOR to the OTHER....it simply means there ARE identifiable DIFFERENCES.
....JEWS, are Hebrew Tribesmen, are Israel, are a Nation, Are Jews, Were Given Mosaic Law, Agreed to abide by Mosaic Law, WERE DIVIDED BY God.......FROM Gentiles.
....GENTILES, are NOT Hebrew Tribesmen, NOT Israel, NOT a Nation, NOT Jews, Were NOT Given Mosaic Law.
Ex 8:
[
23] And I will put a
division between
my people and
thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
WHO is “my people” and “thy people”?
Moses was; Gods people; who became known as; the Hebrews, Tribesmen, Jews.
Pharaoh was; NOT Gods people; who became known as: the Gentiles.
Ex 8:
[
1] And the LORD spake unto
Moses, Go unto
Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let
my people go, that they may serve me.
