Who is a Jew?

Well, that's really easy to answer. Jesus gave the jews back their racial homeland because he promised to and he is the King.

God also promises that Satan will take that land. How would I know the difference?

Satan lays his false claim to all the world and can only possess the already created creations of the world by getting them to give it to him. But God is the true Lord and King and Creator and Master and can set up and tear down kingdoms as he so pleases in the Truth.

And the Truth remains, Jesus is the only way to God, those without Jesus are children of Satan. Ipso...

Even so God will not break his promises, literally his Word, but shall fulfill.

How is it that I can know that these who have taken the land of Israel are actually God's people? Would not the Muslims before them, and the Christians in spaces between, have believed the same of themselves?

Ok, I will admit the definition fails to cover females adequately. It also fails to recognize that Israel is NOT only Judah. But how then should I discuss things like Land Ownership in what some claim to this day as "Holy Land?" If God wants our hearts, not our blood, how do I find agreement with people who reject Jesus having "right" to the territory around the Jordan?
In the New Heaven and the New Earth, will those claiming Jew get first claim on The New Jersualem homes?

Because they're the race that was promised the land. The arabs land is to the south in, you know, arabia.

Ahh, yes, the females as property of the male of the house seems to be causing some issues in discussion.

But, you may have caught a mistake. on another part.
It seems that "Mother is Jewish" may be yet one More Traditions of Men which is carried by those who claim to be "Jews."


Indeed. And none of those claiming Israel today can prove any of them are related to any of those tribes.
So where does that leave me?

Open your eyes and see who Israel has become and why all are jews by translation, not by blood unless you are applying the Blood of the Lamg, and by Him we are all one.

But how do I know they're THE race? Not one of them can prove a bloodline to the Patriarch.

What are "jews by translation"? I have not studied this, nor do I believe I have heard this before.

According to the Law of Moses, a Jew is one whose mother is a descendent of one of the twelve Tribes of Israel, and who is circumcised on the 8th day, and is a follower of the law. If anyone contends with this I will listen (*and likely argue, if you don't know me by now).

There are millions of people who claim to be Jews, and they claim this based on the traditions of their families, and, what I would call a tangential relationship with, the law of Moses. There are millions of "Jews" who are living in Israel based on a claim to Israel existing "for Jews."

But here is the sticking point I find in our day. By the definition of the Law of Moses, to be a Jew by blood, I need to be able to track a bloodline, on my mother's side, to Jacob. But at this date, it is unclear if anyone on earth who claims "Jew" can actually trace ancestry that far.

Now, as for problems from this discovery:

Religiously, this brings the question of who gets the blessings and responsibilities of carrying out the law? Since "the Jew" is known by Moses's Pentateuch, clearly he is seeking to sacrifice at the alter when he sins,but he needs a Levite to do this, meaning someone must be able to trace a bloodline to Levi.
Politically, this would, logically, also infer that at some point, God decided to change his criteria for who gets to claim "His" land in Israel.

Both of these bring more questions, and I find few answers.
More troubling, the Gospels and subsequent instructional letters, seem to infer that the Christian is now Israel, meaning that Jerusalem is actually the home of every Church on earth.
Does this mean we should seek to move to Israel and make it ours? To which tribe would we claim blood line?

Replacement theology, been around for years. No, Christians don't replace the Jews, read Romans 11. Oddly enough,!

If you have any doubts as to who is a Jew, learn from Hitler he was quite adept at finding out.

Jesus himself is the true Israel.

It is written in Isaiah:
This is what the LORD says:
“Maintain justice and do what is right,
for My salvation is coming soon,
and My righteousness will be revealed.
2Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say,
“The LORD will utterly exclude me from His people.”
And let the eunuch not say,
“I am but a dry tree.”
4For this is what the LORD says:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases Me
and hold fast to My covenant—
5I will give them, in My house and within My walls,
a memorial and a name
better than that of sons and daughters.
I will give them an everlasting name
that will not be cut off.
6And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD
to minister to Him,
to love the name of the LORD,
and to be His servants—
all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it
and who hold fast to My covenant—
7I will bring them to My holy mountain
and make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be accepted on My altar,
for My house will be called a house of prayera
for all the nations.”
8Thus declares the Lord GOD,
who gathers the dispersed of Israel:
“I will gather to them still others
besides those already gathered.”
