I've been wanting to know more about "why the Jews". Lots of solid info here, but there are a few things you should know.

The Talmud isn't the Torah. In Islam, the related texts make up the majority of believers that follow Mohammed. In Judaism, the related texts (Talmud) have been highly debated and today is adhered to by the mostly Orthodox Jews.

Reform Judaism (the bulk of modern Jews) do not follow the Talmud, although to be fair many rabbinical schools teach it because there is much historical context in it. There has been a massive rift in Jews starting around the mid 1800's to return to just teaching the Torah and even then, it is not followed as literal.

Many Jews today are by name, or culutre - they do not follow the Torah or the Talmud. The history of the Talmud is in itself complex. There are also genetic differences which I believe MacDonald touched upon in his first book.

My point of writing this is shown in revelations 3:9

I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars - I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you

While I personally believe in Christ as our Lord and savior, I can never escape who I am - a Jew. I will always be Jewish in this life and others. There are people who say they are from the tribes, who say they follow the God of Abraham and of Moses, they speak as if Jews are innocent of wrongdoing.

I believe those are twisted lies because they follow the Talmud which is teachings from men, not from God.

Again, thanks for the information.

What do you mean that you'll always be Jewish? Are you a Jew or a Christian?

I believe in God.

Christ and his teachings has shown me my path to Him for I was once lost. I am not ashamed to speak my love for Yahweh.

That said, my blood and history are from Israel and specifically the Levite tribe. My name is Ben Chieel [בנו של הכוח שלי]. There is no escaping who I am or where I came from.

I don't know if you'd call me a Christian or not, but I would take arms against any foe that threatens those who bare the cross.
