correction. they were the chosen people of one God. back then they believed there were other gods and each had their peoples.
strict monotheism is from after the diaspora
Wasn’t it written by Jews? If I made up a book, I would say I’m the chosen one and deserve all the ice cream in the world.
It’s pretty much what Christians did. Jesus’ (Yeshua ben Yoseph) matrilineal bloodlines don’t trace to Moses or David, and that’s what makes you Jewish, by birth. Moreover, IIRC, neither does Joseph’s. And if we’re tracing by Hashim, then logically, everyone does. So while Yeshua (Joshua) may be the Christians’ Messiah, He isn’t in any way, form, or fashion the one foretold by Jewish prophets.
Joseph was a descendant of David, at least, if you believe one of the two different lineages given for him in the new testament. The funny thing here, though is, it’s through Jeconiah (sp?) who was cursed by god so that none of his descendants would ever sit on the throne of god. Which, if we’re claiming that Joseph’s adoption of Jesus somehow made him eligible to be the messiah, the problem is that “messiah” was always first and foremost a king of the line of david…
oopps.
Mary was a levite, IIRC. (At least what’s-her-name-john-the-baptist’s-mum certainly was. Mary was her cousin, so it’s relatively probable that Mary was, too.)(we are never given a genealogy of mary, so maybe not, though.)
People I chose*
God: You were chosen as the bigger losers! LMAO Dunk on those guys lol

There most fun part to me is how their good had very strict rules, yet they go to ridiculous lengths to find loopholes around them, like putting an iron wire around new York still that is technically not leaving the house in sabbath or keeping a flame so that they don’t have to handle fire in s sabbath.
If I were their good I wouldn’t be that easily fooled.
The problem today most people have is with Zionism, Judaism is pretty cool. I was listening to the Zohar, last night. It’s deep.
Yup.

Bro, wtf is this? Most Jews aren’t in the money lending business for one, they aren’t greedy because of some obscure scripture rule, and most Christians definitely have no problem being greedy. I wish my “Christian” bank didn’t charge me interest lol.
This is actually Nazi level rhetoric. All religion sucks but Jewish people aren’t inherently “greedy” just because of a few lines in a book. Your comment is actual antisemitism, I highly suggest you educate yourself.
Whereas it’s prohibited in Islam/Catholic Church
I know plenty of Catholics who have no problem with usury.
Chosen. to be slaves.
details, right?
