None of the above it was done by rabbi's. It you read it you will know that Judaism is not from God or of God. The religion of Judaism is a deceiver.

God gave Israel to the Jews and it was inhabited when he gave it.  He then gave instructions how to conquor it.

Hmm- there are while books written on this, but I'll try for a summarised version.\n\nJews are the descendeants of Abraham though his son Isaac, grandson Jacob and then divided into twelve tribes representing the sons of Jacob.\n\nJacobs sons went down to Egypt during a time of famine and were eventually enslaved- GOd eventually freed them through a series of divine miracles and they left Egypt, accompanied by the mixed multitude- peple that had converted to Judaism and thus introduced all the varying ethnicities into the Jewsih people.\n\nOver  time Jews have spread across the globe and can be found in every ethnicity and country (Hmm dunno if there are any Innuit Jews though!).  So Jews can be black (prime examples of this are the Ethiopian jewish community and some of the memebers of the Moroccan and Yeminite Jewish communities), white, asian (yep- there are Indian Jews) and oriental (primarily Chinese jews)\n\nWhat bonds these disparate groups together is a common belief in the Jewish religion the laws given to moses, by God, on Mount Sinai shortly ater the Jews left slavery in Egypt and seen as eternally binding and never to be changed.\nFollow the links supplied by the others if you want the details behind this development and dispersal.

Yes and more than just James the most famous who most likely was the author of the book of James. Below is a conversation between Jesus and His brothers.\nIf you are referring to James Simon and Judas they were His disciples not brothers. This is a different James than His brother. Also there were 2 named Judas but neither were His brothers. Simon was renamed Peter by Jesus.

According to Christianity, Isaac was the one supposed to be sacrificed by Abrahan, his father.  But according to Islam, it was rather the older son Ishmael, who was Abraham's son by the slave Hagar.

Since Abraham fathered two sons, half brothers, that went different ways and founded the two nations. More than 2 thousand, closer to 2,500 years ago

wait. As an orthodox Jew let me answer the question. It is true that many opposed the creation of the state of Israel at the time because they believed that only the Messiah can come and recreate the Jewish state in Israel. Once the state was founded that became a mute point and from then on it was only a question of how one should interact with it. some try to limit contact while still living in Israel as much as they can. Others openly embrace Zionism and there is a strong Religious Zionist party in Israel. But I can guarantee you that 99.99% of all orthodox jews (there are always some nuts) want the state of Israel to continue, they might want some changes, but then again who dose not because they know if the state were to no longer exist millions of Jews could die at Arab hands and the rest would be scattered like refugees across the globe.

First of all, The phony satellite nation calling itself "Israel" has nothing to do with the Biblical people called Israel. Yes! You lazy and worthless Christians who will not study to show thy self approved, Israel is a people, not a nation. The "Jew" is not the Seed of Jacob, but of Esau.\n Well in 1948, the British went in and killed the palestinians and renamed Palistine "Israel" then the British (suffering from a delusion called "British Zionism") and the American Zionists transported thousands of..I call them worthless trailer trash from all parts of the world...you call them what you want..to "Israel" at tax-payer's expense! and they remain today, the Largest Welfare state in the World.\n That is all I owe you.\nThe Scriptures are not for the Swine or the Dogs, but read Rev.2:9 if you are so inclined.\n No apologies to anyone!

In popular thought the two are the same.  But, in fact, the equation is based on a mistake, as almost all scholars (conservative and liberal alike) will tell you.\n\nSatan is, of course, the great angelic rebel, leader of the rebel angels and accuser of God's people.  (His role is not as clearly developed in the Old Testament -- we only see him three times [1 Chronicles 21, Job 1-2 and Zechariah 3].)\n\nOn the other hand, the name "Lucifer"  --in the Bible at least-- refers to someone else.  The name or title is the Latin translation for the "Day Star" in Isaiah 14.   And the  prophecy itself specifically says it is about the King of Babylon.  \n\nNote the setting -- God has just been talking about the captivity into which the King of Babylon will take Israel (as happened in 586 BC) and the promise of their return.  Then he turns to pronounce his JUDGMENT on this arrogant king and enemy of his people.\n\nThe prophecy is mostly a description of how this lofty king  is brought down to the GRAVE.   There he is greeted by other dead kings marvel that even this mighty king has been brought down, just like them!  NONE of this fits the idea that this character is Satan or symbol for him.\n\nThe basis for the misunderstanding is the HIGH language used to describe this person (e.g., "Day Star") and his lofty position.  They look at this language and think it is inappropriate to a mere human being.   But that is exactly the POINT!!    In fact, this was just the sort of language Near Eastern kings, who considered themselves sons of the gods,  used about THEMSELVES. Its use in this passage is to MOCK the king and his pretension.\n\nSomething very similar happens in a prophecy against the King of Tyre in Ezekiel 28.  Again the passage specifically TELLS us it is about the King of Tyre.  Ezekiel's language is based on a poetic description of the exalted position of the first man (Adam) who lived in God's presence (in Eden) and the clothing of a high priest (simlar to that found in Exodus 28-29).\n\nIn other words, these passages are talking about HUMAN pride and rebellion.  It may indeed resemble the rebellion of the being we konw as Satan, but these passages are NOT about Satan.

Excellent observation. They could "fulfil" many prophesies (ie. riding into town on a donkey), but they couldn't change his name. Yeshua was not the Messiah. Ask the Jews, they know better what their own scripture says than the Romans.

In what regard?  The birthrite of Esau?  The dream at Bethel?  Isaac's blessing?\n\nI know G-d blessed him bigtime and he got the birthrite that made him the one of the forefathers of Israel....thats prettty big!\n\nDavid

I'd say he was a Jewish rabbi who may have claimed to be the messiah, and (if he was married) had many followers.  Many other Jews have also claimed to be the messiah, but when they died and there was no peace on earth, their followers conceded that he was not the great leader that prophesy declared would lead the people to peace on earth.\nHe was elevated to the status of God at the time of the Nicene Creed (4th century).  The Roman Catholic Church exterminated all "heretics" who didn't believe he was God.  The Eastern Orthodox Church accepted many other creeds and allowed them to continue side by side, much as the Roman Catholic Church has reluctantly done with Protestants many centuries later.\nSo, yes he was a "real" person elevated to the status of God after three centuries.  No concrete "evidence" other than that it was very common to follow great leaders who called themselves the messiah.

I assume you refer to the 40 years they wandered through the desert prior to entering the promised land?\n\nTwo, as far as I can recall:  the true God and the "god" they asked Aaron to make for them in the form of a golden calf.\n\nFYI:  they weren't properly called "Israelites" at that time, but you're forgiven.
