Jews are a high-performance people. It shows up in the patents they get, the companies they start, Nobel prizes. They’re less than 1% of the world’s population and they have this outsized influence on all kinds of things. If you have a high-performance people, when they’re good, they’re very very good, and when they’re bad, they’re very very bad.
When I’m talking to people who I would think are antisemitic, they say ‘Look at these bad guys.’ I say ‘Yeah, I grant that. They did a lot of damage. And now can you acknowledge all their contributions to heart surgery and philharmonic orchestras?’ And it goes dead quiet. They do not want to admit all the positive contributions.
A philosemite would be someone who only talks about the positive contributions, and tries to cancel you if you point out the negative ones. If you point out the negative ones but will not refer to the positive ones, that’s what I would call an antisemite.
There is a huge contingent of very VERY evil "Jews" out there but there are some that are amazing people to EVERYONE. But from what I've seen, you see more positive societal influence the further you get from Orthodox Judaism which gets magnified the closer you get to Messianic Jews, aka Christians.
The "ethnic" Jews that use their heritage as a shield for any criticism towards them or other Jews is always the biggest red flag for me.
We need to be cautious though not to paint with too wide of a brush because we WILL be cleaning this up soon.
Jesus was a Jew as were most of the apostles and the early Christians. Those that reject their Messiah are with Satan. Those that are in Christ are our brothers.
^ This.
is full of crap.
NO.
SMH.
The Jewish lineage of Jesus is detailed in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke:
Matthew’s Genealogy (Matthew 1:1-17):
Luke’s Genealogy (Luke 3:23-38):
Both genealogies affirm Jesus’ descent from David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah's lineage.
There's A LOT more But to deny that Jesus was indeed a Jew is absolutely ridiculous.
Who do you think Jesus was exactly ethnically?
As for your other objection It's not even an objection as much as it is just ignoring something that's obviously true. And this is coming from someone taking a very objective view on this subject. I'm not a Jew. I don't support Israel. I don't believe that Jerusalem has any place in future biblical prophecy as a Christian. I don't support the rebuilding of the temple or the reinstatement of the sacrifice. I don't support sending money to Israel.
I'd say my position is pretty straightforward and unbiased. How about you?
" And thou Bethlehem Ephrathah art little to be among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me, that shall be the ruler in Israel: whose goings forth have been from the beginning and from everlasting. -- Micah 5:2 -- 1599 Geneva Bible
Never miss an opportunity to miss a heavenly opportunity , while always seizing the ruler of this worlds pleasures.
You seem to have a poor understanding of the Biblical definition of what constitutes a Jew.
Birthplace Bethlehem = Part of Judah His Parents = Jews His Linage = Jewish Royalty line of King David & Solomon His birth, life & death = Fulfilled Jewish Messianic prophecies (including being born in Bethlehem)
How exactly is Jesus not Jewish?
Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father making all His enemies His footstool. He is ruling not only Israel but the entire world. ALL authority has been given to Him.
I know scripture and Biblical history quite well. What I'm trying to understand is your reasoning and get an explanation for why you believe Jesus is not a Jew cause frankly I've never heard that one before and I do alot of apologetics and I'l like to document this new flavor of objection to scripture.
The average white person has an IQ of 100, those of Oriental tend to be smarter, but less creative - yet, they average 105. Most minorities are well below 100 (use whatever source makes you feel good, to verify).
Ashkenazi jews have an AVERAGE IQ of 128. That's the average, so is it any surprise they perform better than most of the rest of the world?

And the worlds highest concentration of mental illness, mostly schizophrenia.
Who invented IQ tests?
High IQ is often plagued with other disorders. Albert Einstein couldn’t drive a car. Nerds are quite often socially awkward.
IQ = Intellectual Age / Chronological Age
It’s not definitive of capabilities, but there is a strong correlation
Fine line between brilliance and madness.
Repeat a lie often enough people will believe it. your 128 is closer to 103.
And the average Korean dose better than all groups on the SAT

And this is why I am skeptical of psychologists. Straight out of Psychology Wiki.
"IQ Range: Most people score between 85 and 115 (1 SD from the mean) "68.26%, falls within one standard deviation of the mean (IQ 85-115)".
