why do many christians support israel when 90% of jews don't have a single drop of biblical jewish blood?

Question

ashkenazi jews make up over 90% of the jewish population in today's world. ashkenazi jewish ancestors are from Kazaria, present day Georgia. their king in 740AD converted to judaism and FORCED his people to convert. these people don't have a single drop of biblical jewish blood. none of today's ashkenazi jews can claim the land God promised to the biblical jews, also known as sephardi jews today.

not a single prime minister of israel has ever been a direct descendent of the biblical, sephardi jews. every prime minister of israel has always been an ashkenazi jew. how can we as good christians support such people when jesus himself is quoted saying in
Revelations 2:9
"I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich), and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of satan."

no ashkenazi jew can lay claim to a single grain of sand in israel. i support the sephardi jews because they are truly God's chosen people.

Answer 1

Ho hum- standard anti-Semitic claptrap. the Khazars were MONGOLS. Tell me, how many Ashkenazi Jews look chinese or Turkish to you?

The rality is that the historic migration of Jews from Israel through the mediteranean basin into Europe is well documented and easilu followed. The Khazars came nowhere near the vast majority of Ashkenazi Jews- and even if they had, they would have been a tiny minority since only the Khazar nobility converted en masse, not the entire population. On top of that. modern genetic studies and tracing of genetic diseases proves the relaitonship between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews. So, Ashkenazi Jews, along with the Sephardi Jews, have a very real, and historically provable, link to the entire land of Israel.

Answer 2

The Khazars were a Turkish people, so if what you said is true, then 90% of Jews would look Chinese.

Judaism is not based on blood, it is based on if the mother is Jewish or if you converted to Judaism. It is not a race and never was. So this blood thing is nonsense. Anyways Sephardic and Ashkenazi both share the same DNA and most Israelis are Sephardic. Sephards are larger than 10%

Answer 3

Being Jewish is a religion, not being a member of a race. Israel is a nation, where many of it citizens happen to be Jews.

Some (not many) Christians support Israel for reasons that have nothing to do with supporting Israel. Through a flawed understanding of the Bible (I'm a Christian) people think the End Times are just around the corner when the Jews return to the Holy Land. They want to support Israel as the first step of "saving" the Jews.

We are ALL God's chosen people.

Didn't Jesus say "I have called you by name, and you are mine?" Christians would therefore be God's chosen people, by a narrow and ill-informed interpretation of my own beliefs.

How dare you say that a certain small group is God's chosen people, and the rest of us can go pound sand? Wars have been fought over that kind of crap, and you should be ashamed of youself.

Answer 4

The Christian Scholars Group on Christian-Jewish Relations, a group of 22 Christian scholars, theologians, historians and clergy from six Christian Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church, works to "develop more adequate Christian theologies of the church's relationship to Judaism and the Jewish people." They issued a statement in September 2002, "A Sacred Obligation: Rethinking Christian Faith in Relation to Judaism and the Jewish People".

This document states, in part, "For most of the past two thousand years, Christians have erroneously portrayed Jews as unfaithful, holding them collectively responsible for the death of Jesus and therefore accursed by God. In agreement with many official Christian declarations, we reject this accusation as historically false and theologically invalid. It suggests that God can be unfaithful to the eternal covenant with the Jewish people. We acknowledge with shame the suffering this distorted portrayal has brought upon the Jewish people.... We believe that revising Christian teaching about Judaism and the Jewish people is a central and indispensable obligation of theology in our time." They then offer ten positions, with detailed explanations, "for the consideration of our fellow Christians. We urge all Christians to reflect on their faith in light of these statements." The ten positions, in brief, are:

1. God's covenant with the Jewish people endures forever.
2. Jesus of Nazareth lived and died as a faithful Jew.
3. Ancient rivalries must not define Christian-Jewish relations today.
4. Judaism is a living faith, enriched by many centuries of development.
5. The Bible both connects and separates Jews and Christians.
6. Affirming God's enduring covenant with the Jewish people has consequences for Christian understandings of salvation.
7. Christians should not target Jews for conversion.
8. Christian worship that teaches contempt for Judaism dishonors God.
9. We affirm the importance of the land of Israel for the life of the Jewish people.
10. Christians should work with Jews for the healing of the world.

Answer 5

1. This whole Khazar thing keeps popping up like crabgrass. There's not a shred of evidence for it, as another responder has indicated. GET OFF OF IT.

2. Support whatever Jews you like. We're all Jewish and honestly don't care what you, in particular, think.

3. You have conveniently taken that passage from Revelations out of context.

4. Israel is ours and is here to stay. Get used to it.

Answer 6

Unfortunately Nazi Germany didn't draw that distinction. Israel was established to be the home of all Jews.

Answer 7

Because they are told to and are to stupid to form their own opinion. Jews have more in common historically with Muslims than they do with Cristians and they just love to laugh at all those stupid Rapture believing imbeciles.
The Jewish state only sides with the US because they have immense influence over there leaders.

Answer 8

All your talk of "blood" is racist and anti-semitic. Belonging to the Jewish people has nothing to do with blood and race!

Answer 9

No Body I know cares who did what to who a thousand years ago.

This "your great-great-great-great greandfather stole my great-great-great-great-great grandfather's girlfriend" crap matters only to wack jobs and jihadists.

And why would Jewish people care what Jesus said about them?

Answer 10

They have to be the " left behind " evangelicals - waiting for the rapture to happen. That's all I can figure.
