So, your anti-semitism, @pnehlen, comes from both a lack of sincerity in your faith & a lack of understanding. “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.” Romans 10:12

Replying to @conservmillen @pnehlen
Allie let me educate you. Are you aware that "Jewish" today means people who follow the Talmud, right? It doesn't have the same meaning as when you talk about people who lived in Israel at Jesus' time. What did Jesus say about the Pharisees? Pharisees = origin of modern Judaism.

but regardless, the talmud did not exist at the time so no one followed a religion based on the talmud until several centuries after Jesus we should call the ppl who lived in Judea judeans to avoid conflating them with the Talmudists (=jews)

Anyone can pretend that their medieval religious texts are records of oral teachings going back to the time of Jesus - or even back to the time of Moses. Just don’t expect anyone else to accept your heresies as any earlier than they actually are.

some oral tradition, perhaps... but not the talmud. maybe we should put it this way: the apocryphal books of the old testament are a better guide to the non-orthodox views of ancient judeans than any amount of speculation about customs they shared by word of mouth

look, let me put it this way: samaritans, essenes and talmudic rabbis are all developments from the religion of the Torah If you call the ppl who follow the Talmud “jews” you need another name for the religion of the Torah (I prefer “judaeans”).

What is fake is pretending that the religion of the Talmud is the same relgion as that of the Temple It is as dumb as pretending the Samaritan are the same as the jews/judeans when in fact relations b/w them were proverbially frosty (despite common origin)
