Did you know it does not matter what nationality you are, when you are in Christ you are JEWISH

[afaithfulone4u]

for he is the root and we have been grafted into the root. So there is no need to be jealous of the Jewish people such as the continuing war between Ismael and Isaac or any nationality for it is our spiritual rebirth that decides that we are children of God IF you are truly walking in Christ Jesus as the ONE new man.
Rom 2:28-29
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
KJV
Rom 11:17-21
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
KJV

Jews are not a "nationality"... it is a religious system (Judaism) or it can be a race (of the Semitic peoples). The nation is Israel, of the Hebrew (Semitic) race some of whom are Jews.

If it is race then how come there are white, black and even asian Jews?

If it is a religious system then what do you call Messianic or Atheist Jew?

If it is a birthright then how come one can convert to Judaism?

I asked what is a Jew on the site where many members are. They could not tell me.

Just do not worry about it. You are just a child of God. Let that be your only affiliation.

That is the religious system you are referring to, not a race. Even though I have ancestors from South Africa I can not call myself African-America in race.

Wasn't the first Hebrew a Gentile? Abraham from the land of Ur of Chaldeans whom we call father Abraham the father of our faith?
Isn't it really the truth that anyone who calls Jesus their Lord(Authority) and God their Father as in His Child no matter where they come from, a Jew?
It isn't a fleshly birth that makes one obedient to God's Word but one's heart to do the will/Word of the Father that dictates who is and who is not a JEW born of JERUSALEM from our mother above? We must witness to the natural Jews first to bring them out of the covenant of bondage that no man can keep perfectly so they will not be destroyed. They need to come into the new covenant where the Spirit is given so that they too can be reborn from above to be saved and learn HOW to do what is right so they do not need to be TOLD again and again by the LAW given for LAWLESSNESS.

It is not those lead or born of their flesh that are Jews, it is only those who know and love God's Word to live by that are or ever can be His child. And children are not chosen of God because they are a certain nationality or special in some way.. they are chosen by God because THEY HAVE A HEART for Him and proven to LOVE His Word for you can not say you love God but reject His Word.. for they are inseparable because The Word IS GOD!

Gentiles don't get saved and become Jews. Jews and Gentiles get saved and become Christians.
