Hi, I originate from Southern Italy, in a place that is known to have been a seaport for the Crusades. I found my last name in 17 verses in the Old Testament and in the Biblical Chronicles, does this make me a person with Jewish blood?

Their is evidence that during the Jewish-Roman wars a lot of Jewish slaves were taken to Italy.
So its quite possible.
While almost nothing can tell you for sure if you have Jewish ancestry you could get a DNA test and see if you have any middle eastern ancestry.
-- you might also need to get your fathers DNA to check the Paternal line.

First you ought to study the historic previous of your church and then instruct it to him. and then comprehend on your guy or woman techniques that whilst he's your chum that he has been taught incorrect by employing his church. i'm no longer RC, i'm an Episcopalian. The Roman Catholic church is an extremely good church and that's interior the line which strains from the disciples of Jesus. the 1st thousand years there exchange into basically one church, and then in 1054 there exchange right into a dispute between the East and the West and the West separated out and grew to become the Roman Catholic church. The eastern church took the call Orthodox. there's a richness of concept and prepare interior the RC church which you will no longer discover in a Protestant church. (different than the Episcopalian.) additionally many Protestant churches don't have the actual theology. i think that your chum is going to the form of church. So study various the priority-unfastened theology and understand that your church, whilst no longer a hundred% ideal on each remember is a lot greater ideal than his. One reason a number of those Protestant denominations dangle to the Bible basically is they have their origins in revolt against the Roman church. The Roman Catholic Church follows no longer basically the Bible, yet in addition the Holy custom that fluctuate into exceeded down from the disciples by employing be attentive to mouth, or what's stated as the oral traditions of the Church. Your chum's church says that some concern the RC church does is against the Bible because of the fact they do no longer understand what the oral traditions of the church are. in the event that they knew that they could comprehend that the RC is closer to the unique than they are. basically tell your chum which you understand that his church tells him that he ought to attempt to "save" human beings and placed across them to Christ. tell him which you're already saved and one among Christ's very own. you're saved by employing your baptism into the dying and Resurrection of Jesus.

There are many similarities between Aramaic and modern latin languages. This may be due to the Moors who invaded the Iberian Peninsula and were assimilated into the European culture.

Did you use a concordance to find this out? But I know for a fact that people in Bible times didn't have last names, except occasionally they were called something like "John from Texas" or "John of Texas" or "John son of Steve"

Jews keep pretty good records. Work your genealogy back the usual way generation by generation and see what you find. It does no good to guess.

Maybe. You'd have to do some research.
