Canbot is again getting skin color mixed up with faith. "Jew" is not a word that describes skin color or physical appearance. It is not fully true to say Jews have white skin, as Canbot says, because Jews can have any skin color. It would be like saying Christians have white skin, but surely you know that people of all nations and ancestry claim to be Christian. Jesus came to the Jews: those that had the word of God in their possession. Those that believed Jesus and followed him became Christians. Christians have the word of God, both the Old Testament (which includes old Jewish scriptures) and the New Testament (the teachings of Jesus Christ and his followers).

These words describe faith, not race: Jew, Christian, Muslim, Atheist.... It's not a race. And do not be deceived: There are people who say they are one or the other, but are liars. Only God knows the heart of a man. But you can know a tree by its fruit.

This is wrong. Jew is also an ethnicity. A very simple search will confirm this.

For anyone who cares: The Holy Bible defines a true Jew by an invisible quality, something you cannot see with your physical eyes:

"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." Romans 2:29

And a false Jew:

"[...] I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." Revelation 2:9
