The people most abused by the particular "jews" some people on this site love to obsess over include their fellow "jews". The "evil jews" in WWII left Germany quickly, abandoned their "fellow jews" to the nazis and proceeded to profit from the lovely war, slaughter, and jew-cleansing that blossomed. Jesus was a jew. Look how they treated him... There is a group within judaism who express a particularly virulent evil, but it's not specifically their "jewishness"; a big part of their particular flavor is hiding themselves within the broader jewish population so they can say, "Look at us! Poor us!" as they continue on their radically destructive agenda, destroying jew and gentile alike. They are pure evil, but their jewishness is not the source of their evil; they just use it as a mask to hide behind.

I think you are right, if we think of the evil Jews as being wolves in sheep's clothing. The try to look like a sheep and mingle among the sheep, but prey on them.

The evil "Jews" are the synagogue of Satan, according to Jesus.

The good Jews cannot be discerned by looking at their physical appearance. Good Jews can only be identified by looking into their heart.

We see the same with Christians. Some are liars, deceivers, receiving worldly riches and fame, but have no faith in God, while others are true with a living faith in Jesus: humble, quiet.... and receive no notice by the world.

"Christian" does not refer to a race. Anyone can be a Christian, and the same is true for "Jew", or "Muslim", "Catholic", "Baptist", or any other religious label. But people have been deceived into hating others without a cause. God loved all, the whole world, so he gave his only begotten son, that every man might be saved.

God is the one who can see everything in a man's heart. God knows if the man has chosen to be redeemed by Jesus, or not. His sacrifice was for everyone, but God leaves it up to each man to decide for himself if he wants to be saved.

And Israel is a land and not a people. Just felt like mentioning that.

It's the other way around. Israel is a people and not a land. Otherwise, what would the scriptures mean by saying Israel was in the land of Egypt? You know, the place with the pyramids? That's where Israel was, when they were in bondage, before Moses led them out into the wilderness for forty years before they came to the promised land. Israel, the people, wandered forty years in a wilderness. The people of Israel were the ones that had the word of God, regardless of what land they temporarily lived on.

What it meant, and what it currently is, are two different things. Currently it's just a rouge state. Does something gain all of the attributes from it's namesake simply by renaming itself? Does the Apple corporation create healthy snacks meant to be consumed daily? Oh wait. They stole that name didn't they?

Israel obviously means different things to different people. I will stay with God and how he defines it.

People call the capital of Israel: Jerusalem, and some even say it is the holy city. But it shall be destroyed. In fact, all of the cities created by men will be destroyed. The true holy city is eternal and shall descend from heaven, and is called by the same name: Jerusalem.

Revelation 3:12

From what original text do you trust? Do you consider any of them to be the original text? And if every single word has been translated, and then those translated words have had their meanings changed, what then? Do you still assume that to be the word of God?

I trust in the word of God. God is not dead, you know? He is not trapped in a book, either. So even if the pure word of God is corrupted by his adversary, or by people lacking discernment, I can always pray and ask God to teach me the truth, which he promises to do for all who sincerely desire the truth. And God is continually transmitting his pure word to earth to compensate for the errors that men attribute to him. Because we are now in the end days, it is indeed happening: He is pouring his spirit out upon all flesh.

If you cannot hear his voice, it is because you do not want to. And those who read the texts with the wrong motive are seeking death. The letter kills, but the spirit gives life.

I believe in modern parlance, we call that thinking.

Do the people today that call themselves Jews not read the books of Moses?

Moses married an Ethiopian.

Numbers 12:1

Are the Ethiopians of then the same as today?

People can believe in Jehovah, calling themselves Jews, regardless of what land they make their temporary abode, so how does your question even matter?

The people that call themselves "Jews" for worldly advantage could very well be atheists, having no fear at all of the Lord God Jehovah Jesus Zebaoth.

Again, many people that call themselves "Christians" for worldly advantage could very well be atheists, having no fear at all of the Lord God Jehovah Jesus Zebaoth.
