Do you think that people have to have a specific genetic profile in order to be part of a community or religion?
Because it seems like you don't understand religious converts.
Quick question. If someone from South Korea, who is genetically from people who have been in that area for thousands of years converts to Christianity, do you think they aren't "true Christians"?
What about Christians now, who are genetically from people in the UK and Western Europe? Are they Christians? Because they are very different from the original Christians of the Bible. Who were Jewish, genetically.
Let me explain, since people are busily downvoting you.
Christ changed it all. His argument was that gentiles can be God's children, and made a point in finding 'sinners' to convert. (illness was considered God's work, so if one, for example, laid hands on someone and prayed, then one was considered to be interfering with God's work. And anyway, tax colletors and prostitutes were definitely not acceptable to attend prayer meetings.
So, for your Korean example: I would definitely consider a convert as a true Christian, because Christ said anyone can worship God.
Some people are still butthurt about that, because the doctrine was exeptional - as in, only those with the correct bloodlines was accepted in the club. How dared he?
