@randymcwilson @JosiahForYeshua The Koine Greek word for "Jew" is Ἰουδαῖος (Ioudaios), which can mean "Jew" or "Judean" depending on context.

@Gandalf4Jesus Christian means Christ-one.
A person in union with the spirit of Christ.

Jesus was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah but not a Jew.

@Nickisbackbaby True believers eventually retreat to the Biblical narratives and reject the modern theatre.

Applies to the descendants of Abraham by faith…

“Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying,, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.” Galatians 3:7-9

@DineshDSouza If you want to include it then I suggest…

Abraham - Christian
Israel - Christian

Why only include the tribe of Judah?

@rabbriansamuel Israel had a system of symbols that they didn’t really understand but all of them were the history of the Christ in advance.

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

In John chapter 5, Jesus heals a man who had been paralyzed for thirty-eight years at a place the Gospel calls the Pool of Bethesda. John gives an oddly specific detail: the pool, he writes, had five covered colonnades, five porches surrounding it.

For a long time this description was treated as evidence that John's Gospel was unreliable. No such pool had ever been found. And a pool with five sides, five porches, seemed architecturally strange, almost invented. Critics argued the writer had never seen Jerusalem, that the detail was symbolic fiction, perhaps standing for the five books of Moses. The Gospel, they concluded, was written late, by someone far removed from the real city.

Then archaeologists dug near the Church of Saint Anne in Jerusalem, and they found it. A pool, exactly where John located it, near the Sheep Gate. And its design solved the puzzle immediately. It was not one pool but two large basins side by side, with a colonnade on each of the four outer sides and a fifth colonnade running across the middle, dividing the two pools. Five porches, precisely as John wrote.

Consider the significance. This was no symbol invented by a distant author. It was a detailed, accurate description of a real structure, one that no longer existed in Jerusalem after the city was destroyed in AD 70. Whoever wrote this had walked past that pool. He knew the city as it stood before its destruction.

To the world, the Gospels are late, secondhand, disconnected from the events they describe. But the man who wrote of Bethesda knew its five porches because he had seen them, and the healing he recorded happened at a real pool where real suffering people waited.

Jesus went to the place of the broken and the hopeless, and He still does. He walks toward the ones the world has written off, and He heals. He sees you where you wait. Bring Him your thirty-eight years, whatever they are.

Jesus is the Healer, the one who makes the broken whole.

Thank You, Jesus.

@rabbriansamuel The ‘Judeo’ was only the conduit to reveal the Christ.

@bonchieredstate @realJennaEllis You have to define the words ‘Judaism’ ‘Jewish’ and ‘Israel’ they are not interchangeable.

@ja99491 Daniel’s ‘abomination of desolation’ was Antiochus Epiphanies and Jesus ‘abomination of desolation’ was Titus son of. Vespasian.
