However if geography makes one a Jew then all who live in the geographical location of Judea makes folks Jews? Is that what you are saying? A Geographical linenage?
Hey, I like the way you think.
You are kidding, right?
This period of time that we are now. See Luke 21.
What language did the Israelites spoke at Mt. Sinai?
I do not think YOU know what gentile means,you assume it means non-Jew,FULL STOP?
Israel to Hebrew,but you are going to say modern Jews do not speak Yiddish?
You are going to equate modern Jews with Israel of the Bible?
Paul was a Roman...
John 11:48:If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
If the Romans had control,of both place and nation...
In John 8:33 when the Jews stated ''and were never in bondage to any man''
They were in bondage to the Romans...
Paul was not of the Tribe of Judah,so the Strong's meaning again is...
2453. Ioudaios ee-oo-dah'-yos from 2448 (in the sense of 2455 as a country); Judaean, i.e. belonging to Jehudah:--Jew(-ess), of Judaea.
Geography= Judaean
''But Paul said, I am a man which am a JUDAEAN of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia
The word "Jew" comes from the tribe of Judah and also the Kingdom of Judah. By the time of the Exile it described any Israelite regardless of tribe. Thus "The Jews" is a sufficiently adequate term to use as a synonym for ancient Israel.
You seem to be forgetting that both Israel AND Judah were taken in to Assyrian Captivity.
How can it be used as a synonym if Judah was taken with Israel into Assyrian captitiviy and did not return?What happened to them?How can it be used for a people who did not return to their place?
You also do know that ''Jew'' describes geography?
Matthew 4:25:And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
But what about today,is it used as a synonym for modern Israel?
:o The Muslims that live in that area are not going to like that.
Actually, Juda was taken into captivity by the Babylonians.
They were allowed to return from captivity after the Medo Persians defeated Babylon and Cyrus issued the decree allowing them to return.
I quoted this one to you recall?
Acts 24:17 Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.
You were going on about something concerning the word nation then, so Im not sure what you might be having me to see here is all.
Let's get back to talking about Pork and Food Laws,alright,I think we are getting off topic,if anyone wants to start a thread on Jews or gentiles,do so...
Nation in Strong's Greek is...
1484. ethnos eth'-nos probably from 1486; a race (as of the same habit), i.e. a tribe; specially, a foreign (non-Jewish) one (usually, by implication, pagan):--Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
Gentile, heathen, nation, people.
It is directly related to the topic. Jews are under the Mosaic law, gentiles and Christians are not.
And how does Jew first and Gentile last fit into that? They are contrasted in one verse, it would need to be changed to Gentiles first and Gentiles last
See what I mean?
WHAT DO YOU WANT ''Jew'' and ''gentile'' to mean????????????
Israel was given the law,not the Jews,Jew is a slang term which denotes a Tribe or a geographic address,not all of Israel (Are Judah)
The Jews follow the Babylonian Talmud,which came from Babylon.
As for gentiles,they are Just non-Jews?
Whats wrong with whats written? Which verses have I quoted in this conversation are you seeing some kind of disagreemeent with other verses in relation to either Jew or Greek?
Jew or Greek,again Jew carries the meaning in Strong's of geography or Tribe.
2453. Ioudaios ee-oo-dah'-yos from 2448 (in the sense of 2455 as a country); Judaean, i.e. belonging to Jehudah:--Jew(-ess), of Judaea.
Words carry meanings,I quote them,do you want them to mean something other than what I quote from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance?
Semantics. Gentiles are non Jews and non Israelites (cover both to be politically correct lol). The Mosaic law was ONLY given to Israel at Mt. Sinai. The fact still remains that the Mosaic law was never given to the Christian.
Paul said he was a Jew of the tribe of benji
Gentiles? Non-Jews?
How could someone be a non-Jew by birth?
Ephesians 2:11:Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called uncircumcised by those who call themselves the circumcision (which is done in the body by human hands)
Because we are the "uncircumcised"?
Are you required to be circumcised?
- New International Version
In Webster's 1828 ''Gentile'' carries many meanings and one stands out...
In civil affairs, the denomination was given to all nations who were not Romans.
That would make Jesus and the Apostles gentiles as they were not Romans but Paul would not be a gentile as he was a Roman.(Acts 22:27-29)
So does that make Jesus and the Apostles, non-Jews and Paul a Jew?
All of the Apostles were Jew by birth.
The Mosaic law was not given to a Jew either...
Heiferdust. Again, the fact remains that the Mosaic law was not given to the Christian.
