Yes, He is God the Son Who became a Man Jesus Christ.

A new body? What do you mean by 'new'? Again, do you believe Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead?

If by 'new body' you mean a different body then He had on earth, then no. That is wrong. (John 20:27) Resurrection is not 'another' body. It is the same body but glorified.

And if it's the same body, then Jesus is still a Jew....correct? And, He, the God/Man will forever be a Jew....correct?
I just find that weird to say cause He's God.

2 Corinthians 5

16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

No. Jewish is not a race. He created Abraham who got kids and others joined. One in the list of Jesus is Rahab. There are more former heathens in it. Ruth. Nothing to do with race.
He is called the Lion of Judah, so yes in a way, but does He have brown eyes or eyes like a piercing flame or both?
I don't hate whites. I hate that dumb hating of a group. There were arrogant white Dutch men who took an Indonesian slave and married and abused her. There were also sweet white Dutch men. Now our king said sorry to Surinam for slavery. Good. But he got rich from it, so he should give em the money back. Not force the offspring from a poor white guy who never even had a slave to pay them, while for ages we already paid them loads and the ones who whine that they want money are also spoiled and don't care about real nowaday slaves from India or China or Oeigoeren or also white, for instance Polish. Antisocial how they treat those here. It's not black versus white but rich oppressors versus the people they abuse to work on their fields while they pay em way too less.
James 5
Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you! 2 Your riches [a]are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days. 4 Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out; and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears of the Lord of [b]Sabaoth. 5 You have lived on the earth in pleasure and [c]luxury; you have [d]fattened your hearts [e]as in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned, you have murdered the just; he does not resist you.

Jews can trace their race back to Abraham through Isaac only. (1.) Why is that not a race? (2.)Are Arab peoples a race?

Nice speech, yet you ignored my questions. (3.)Why?

(4.) What do you mean by 'new body'? (5.) Do you believe Jesus was resurrected from the dead? (John 20:27) If so, that makes the resurrected Jesus a Jew....(6.) correct? And Jesus will be a Jew forever...(7.)correct?

(8.) Wasn't Jesus Resurrection Body the same body He had on earth? (9.)Was Jesus resurrected from the dead?

(10.) Do you believe God created the races of man? (11.) Or was that just an accident due to 'climate'?

Please answer these questions.

I find it weird that you reject the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Just because we as Christians know no one after the flesh, or Christ after the flesh, doesn't disregard that Jesus Christ remains a Man in glory. The Man/God. And the Man/God is a Jewish Man. Forever.

Do you find it wierd to say God the Son became a Man. In the flesh. Jewish flesh? Is that hard to say also? (1 John 4:2)

1 because they're not dogs. Darwin and Hitler came up with that race nonsense. How are Jews a race? There are Ethiopian Jews, white Jews.
2 No. People groups. The ones that are from Ishmael are also from Abraham.
Jews are descendants from Judah and the heathens who converted and joined.
Hebrews are offspring from Heber. The daughters of Lot got the Ammonites or something. It's all family. Is my family a race because we come from the same forefather?
We can rightly talk about people groups, but only with the understanding that these groups represent what the Bible refers to as “tribes” or “nations.” People do have ethnic and cultural heritages that can be honored and celebrated.


3 I thought I answered them.
4 not a normal body like we have. He went through walls. He had no blood in His body anymore. In Revelation He looks quite different.
5 6 7 I just said we know noone according to the flesh. Sounds weird to me. I may be wrong, but then give me a Bible text, cause when my son said Mary is the mother of God I also said nope, but I was wrong and he was right. He had a text though. Just sounded weird.
8 No He went through walls.
1 Cor 15
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” 36 Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. 37 And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind [f]of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.


44 It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the earth, made[i] of dust; the second Man is [j]the Lord from heaven. 48 As was the [k]man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we[l] shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

9 yes
10 11 He created Adam and Eve with genes to eventually give birth to Eskimo's and whatever. They split up after Babel. Maybe inbreeding. Locked away from others. Climate changed after the flood. That's why they don't look alike. Adam and Eve were brown.

And btw now that they mix up then what is the race of the mixed up? Bin race or something like with cats that aren't expensive?

Obviously, there are some Jews who don't fit in these categories, and are just normal Jesus - rejecting folk. Problem is, since they are so well connected, how does one know?
This reminds me of the testimony of a Jewish guy. He's really funny. He was schizophrenic. An American woman told him about Jesus and he said in 2:20: christians were people with claws and Dracula teeth, come to eat us and our children and drink our blood.

Maybe you're right. He is still offspring of Judah, just like He's a Son of Mary.

3 I thought I answered them.

1.) I never said they were dogs. Just because we speak of various races of humans doesn't equate them with dogs. The understanding of various 'races' of humans did not originate with Darwin and Hitler. "The existence of distinctive races and nations and languages is obviously a fact of modern life, in spite of the efforts of many modern sociologists and politicians to break down all racial and national barriers." (The Genesis Record, Henry M. Morris, Baker Book House, 1976, p. 9)

"Can we attribute the geneses of civilizations to the virtues of some particular race or races? Race is a term used to denote the possession of some distinctive and inheritable quality in particular groups of human beings." (A Study Of History, Arnold J. Toynbee, Oxford University Press, p. 51)

2.)If Jews, Israelites, are not considered a race, why is the term anti-semitic only used for Jews? If you want to substitute 'race' for 'people groups' that's fine. As long as you recognize there is distinction.

The Arab 'people group' is not the same as the Jewish 'people group' even though both have Abraham as their father. The Jewish 'people group' goes through Sarah and Isaac. The Arab people group goes through Hagar and Ishmael. Big difference. (Gen. 17:15-19)

3.) You didn't.

4.) I explained to you that our not knowing Christ after the flesh doesn't mean Christ's resurrected body is not the same body He had on earth.

5,6,7) I gave you a Bible verse. (John 20:27) "Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."

8.) Going through walls doesn't make Jesus body different. He also walked on water before the Resurrection. The body Jesus had on earth is the body He was resurrected with. Jewish. The only distinction being no blood and glorified. And He will be Jewish forever.

9.) Then if Jesus was resurrected from the dead, it is the same body. That is what resurrection is. Resurrection is not another body. It is the same body that died.

10,11) You didn't answer the question. Do you believe God or climate created the various races, 'people groups' of man?

As to your question of race mixture, that is what it is. Race mixture.

10,11 He created a body from Adam with the possibility that his ancestors can adapt and specialize over time.
I was looking up how, by DNA or epigenetics? and then I found this:


Our eyes tell us lies that DNA can pulverize

The DNA in our cells is littered with variants, little changes from one individual to the next that are responsible for many of our physical attributes and our predispositions to disease.

So do you think there is more genetic variability between these two penguins… or between Taylor Swift and Kanye West?

figure_2_0.png


The answer is surprising. Even though our eyes tell us one thing, DNA analysis reveals the opposite. These penguins are more different at the DNA level than our two human superstars. It turns out that humans are less genetically diverse than many animals, including chimps.

In fact any two unrelated human beings on the planet are 99.9% identical in their DNA sequence. Only 0.1% varies, and here’s the most important takeaway message from all this. It also happens to be the most replicated finding in the scientific literature on human variation.

Of this 0.1% that varies, almost all of it (95.7% to be exact) is found between individuals within the same race. Despite what our eyes perceive, there is more genetic diversity within a race than between races.

This finding—that there’s more diversity within than between groups—is true for most physical traits, with one prominent exception: skin colour. Why? Because skin colour is under tremendous selective pressure. It varies depending on how far from the equator we are, because a darker skin offers better protection against sunburn, skin cancer and related damages. People with naturally darker skin were better adapted to their environment and were more likely to reproduce. The fact that a Maasai and an Aboriginal Australian both have very dark skin is not because they are part of the same biological race, but rather because both have lived under a very harsh sun for generations. So skin colour is not evidence of race being a biological reality.


Race is a real concept that we use as social beings. As for whether race can be found in our genes, the answer is no. Biological ancestry, however (which is distinct from race), is real. Where our forebears came from can be seen in our DNA (to a certain degree), but ancestry does not map onto race, not even close. We may intuitively think of Europeans, Africans, and East Asians as three circles that barely overlap, like the Olympic rings. Time and time again, however, genetic studies reveal the opposite. They are rings all right, but they almost completely overlap.

We are a lot more similar than we think, and the ways in which we differ have little to do with our ideas of race.

So, you're saying God did not create the various races of mankind. And you ignore everything else I said and asked in my previous two posts.

As to the rest of what you said, I know we all come from Adam. I have never said otherwise. I know there is the human race and we are all related. We are talking about the various races, 'other peoples' of mankind.

You said before there are no races, just 'other people'. So why do you constantly use the term 'race'?

Did God make the Jews a distinct 'other peoples'? A distinct race?

They use 'race' in that article. All I ever heard is there is one human race, which is also nonsense. Why is that a race? Or a kind? We're not animals. Like chimp is one kind, human another kind, no. He only spoke about animal kinds.
He did not create races. He did create people. He let em go over the world with Babel. Because they sinned the flood came and the athmosphere changed and their skin had to be protected and their eyes.
I skipped the rest, because I don't agree and already said that and don't want a Monthy Python yes it is no it isn't discussion.
His body is not like it was anymore. He now has a spiritual body. It's not from dust anymore, black or white to protect you against skin cancer.


14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore.

Jesus was Jewish, so His skin was at least a bit brownish. They had variety. Song of Solomon she was dark because she worked in the sun. And now He's white and He is the Sun or He looks the same. I think He can change it as He likes. Even before He was born He could show Himself as a Man to Abraham and Moses, Jacob. The Angel of the Lord.

I realy wonder if someone who now has 'black' skin will still have that in heaven or after the resurrection or rapture, cause it makes no sense to be dark brown or light brown in heaven. He will be the Sun and we won't have to be protected against Him. And angels are never of color. Always white.

Whether you think it's nonsense doesn't matter. There is the human race. There are various races of mankind. Your position is what I see as nonsense, if not heretical. Jesus physical body was resurrected. I showed you the verse. (John 20:27). Which happened to be what you ignored.

Again, Did God make the Jews a distinct 'other peoples'. A distinct race?

No negro ever became a white man. No white man ever became a negro. It doesn't matter what climate they were in or went to.

Also, again, why does anti-semitism refer only to Jews?

Fine. Don't care. What is there to say about that verse? Everyone knows that verse. I don't say it's not true. But He has a spiritual heavenly body now. It changed.
No idea who came up w that term. I heard others are semites too and there are Palestinians with Cohen genes. Oh wait. Semites. That's from Sem, son of Noah, so not only Jews.
Actually yes there's a former dark skinned man who became white. He's sick.

I already told you. (John 20:27) shows that the physical body Jesus had on earth was resurrected. He bears the scars of the Crucifixcion.

I didn't ask you where the term came from. I asked why does the term anti-semitism always refer to the Jews?

Oh please. The negro did not become a white man because his skin turned white due to sickness. What did he have? Leprosy? How long did you have to google to find that? So, actually no. But it shows the degree you will go to ignore the races of mankind.

And, again, Did God create the Jews as a distinct 'other people'. Did God create the Jews as a distinct race?

No I just said His body wasn't the same as it was when He got raised.

Ask them:

The short answer is no — Jews are not a race. People who identify as Jewish include individuals of enormously diverse geographic origins and physical appearances, making the idea that Jews could easily be designated a race in the sense of shared physical or biological characteristics implausible.

Jews historically have defined themselves as a people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Converts are also considered descendants of these patriarchal ancestors. Colloquially, Jews also sometimes describe themselves as a tribe.

I have no idea why they call it antisemitism, cause Arabs are also called semitic (semitic languages) and semitic means from Sem or Shem in English, I think.




While many agreed with Marr’s goals and methods, the term anti-Semitism itself was never wholly embraced. Some found it too evasive, others too pseudo-scientific. The German philosopher Eugen Duhring (1833-1921) objected to its avoidance of naming the enemy directly. It was also seen as too imprecise. Not all Semites were deemed inimical. For example, when Nazis sought Arab allies before and during World War II, they found it advisable to disavow use of the term in propaganda directed at the Middle East, reassuring potential allies that Arabs were a noble race. Even today, Arabs — Semites themselves — object to being associated with the Jewish Question. Others, quite hostile toward Jews, claim that because they are Semites, they cannot be accused of anti-Semitism.

The short answer is no — Jews are not a race. People who identify as Jewish include individuals of enormously diverse geographic origins and physical appearances, making the idea that Jews could easily be designated a race in the sense of shared physical or biological characteristics implausible.

Jews historically have defined themselves as a people, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Converts are also considered descendants of these patriarchal ancestors. Colloquially, Jews also sometimes describe themselves as a tribe.

I have no idea why they call it antisemitism, cause Arabs are also called semitic (semitic languages) and semitic means from Sem or Shem in English, I think.




While many agreed with Marr’s goals and methods, the term anti-Semitism itself was never wholly embraced. Some found it too evasive, others too pseudo-scientific. The German philosopher Eugen Duhring (1833-1921) objected to its avoidance of naming the enemy directly. It was also seen as too imprecise. Not all Semites were deemed inimical. For example, when Nazis sought Arab allies before and during World War II, they found it advisable to disavow use of the term in propaganda directed at the Middle East, reassuring potential allies that Arabs were a noble race. Even today, Arabs — Semites themselves — object to being associated with the Jewish Question. Others, quite hostile toward Jews, claim that because they are Semites, they cannot be accused of anti-Semitism.

No. You said in post #(41) that you find it wierd to say Jesus body was risen from the dead. In post #(37) you say you don't want to call His body Jewish. Yet I have showed you in (John 20:27) that Jesus body that was laid in the grave is the same that was resurrected. Therefore it is Jewish. So, you can clear it up now by acknowledging that the body of Jesus that was raised from the dead was Jewish. And that a Jewish Man sits at the right hand of God at this very moment.

You said in post #(50) that race is a real concept. Instead of race, in post #(44) , you want to use the term people groups. Thus my question to you, which you continue to ignore, is, did 'God' create the Jews as a distinct 'other people' or 'race'? Your answer that Jews are not a race is not an answer to my question. Please answer.

Ok. You don't know. Progress. Arabs are also semitic. Yet it's only attacks on the Jews that is called anti-semitic. Why? Because they recognize a distinction between Jew and Arab. Another people, as you like to say. Another race. Which begs another question. Did God create the Arab race...or the Arab 'other people'? Please answer instead of trying to avoid.

Well, it was the same body, but it was sufficiently glorified that neither John nor the two disciples who had earlier walked with Jesus for miles on the road to Emmaus could recognize their Lord right away. His body obviously had been changed.
