is it anti Semitic to believe that African Americans are the true descendants of  the 12 sons of  Jacob?

No it's not Antisemitic, antisemitic is NOT when you hate Jews but you will find out if you say something about them they don't agree with. They will label you this anyway.\n\nYes it's true out of all the people on the face of the earth they're the only one who fit the prophecy of Israel. Not all blacks are Hebrews, and because their Black doesn't mean they are not Hebrews. It's no secret that the Hebrews were Black. Like Cornelius Tacitus in 55AD a Roman never seen the Israelites but "MANY AGAIN say the were a race of Cushite origins" That's one of the tribes of NUBIA. Then the Muslim name a place in Africa call Yahoodee which is what they call the people in Sub-Sahara Africa. They call them this because they were Hebrews Yahoodee means the tribes of Israel.\n\nThe Children of Israel were to be as numerous as the sands of the sea and can not be measured. So why can't no one find this people. Because  throughout history many said they were not only in Africa in great numbers but was also black with dark skin. ACT 13:1 ...SIMEON THAT WAS CALLED NIGER... He didn't get this name because he was dark skin but because he was literally Black. They label all Africans as one group and say this is how all Africans are. They never told you about "Nyame" or yah, they never said that they had "Jews" to go to Africa during the slave trade to speak Hebrew. How you think they were able to commuicate. Did you know about "people of Ashan" such as the ob cult, religious dances, use of "Amen", vowel value, patriarchal system, parallel symbolism of Authority in "stool" and "chair", endogamy, cross-cousin marriages, familiar names, exogamy, simplicity of marriage rite and the part wine plays in the ceremony, uncleanness after child birth, purification ceremony, Menstrual seclusion. and ceremonial ablutions. What about a place call "the land Judah" in Benin founded by the French.\n\nHere is the prophecies read it all first, because if you read part of it you will have questions and the more you read the deeper it get's and it will answer all of your questions by the time your finish. It's no way one man could explian it all their is way too much info to cover. It's many books about it, history books are just as good read those to understand the prophecies.\n\nhttp://www.hebrewisraelites.org/leviticus26.htm\n\n\nHere is the religion belief in Africa during and before the slave trade. See the picture of the Ashanti here the man who drew it is unknown but the first guy to publish this picture in 1700 thought he was a Ambassador. But you can tell he is a Hebrew preist he have to gold disc which have Yahweh name on it, the tiara and even the way he dress like that of the hebrews. he even have a sene(breastplate of the Levi preist) which represents all the names of the tribes of Israel you can see it at link below\n\nhttp://www.hebrewisraelites.org/hebrewism.htm

The InterMountain Jewish News published a survey back in 1988 that showed that some %12 percent of people who were born Jewish were now attending Christians churches. And there survey did not appear to take into account the number of those who attend Messianic Jewish synagogues. And considering the fact that there was only 1 Messianic Congregation in town back then and now there are about 12, I would guess that the number has been increasing.\n\nAs to those who claim that Jews stop being Jews if they believe Yeshua to be Messiah need to stop and think. Do such people suddenly become Chinese? No, of course not!  If they "repent" of their belief in Yeshua and go to Orthodox Judaism, are they going to be required to undergo another circumcision and full conversion?  No of course not!\n\nFurthermore, Christians who make such claims don't read their own Bible:\n\nRo 11:1 I say then, Did not God put away His people? Let it not be said! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.\n\nPhp 3:5  I was circumcised the eighth day, I am of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews. As regards the Torah, a Pharisee; 6  concerning zeal, persecuting the assembly; regarding the righteousness in the Torah, blameless.

There is an excellent and very detailed analysis of this question in the book "Why People Believe Weird Things: Pseudoscience, Superstition, and Other Confusions of Our Time" by Michael Shermer. He discusses the motivations and tactics of those who deny the Holocaust ever happened; then he goes on to provide evidence of how we know it did. It's a fascinating book. I highly recommend it.\n\nAnd yes, as you can imagine, they are largely anti-Semitic with a bit of a paranoid streak, and tend to be conspiracy theorists as well.

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were the founders of the people and men of faith, but they never called their religion "Judaism".  In fact the word "Judaism" never appears in the Bible (not even in the Christian Bible).\n\nObviously in Judaism G-d is the Creator.  But I don't think that is quite what you are asking. \n\nJudaism is founded on Torah.  Torah is the 5 books of Moses - Genesis through Deuteronomy. So Moses is perhaps the personality that you are looking for.  \n\nThe story of the Exodus is often looked upon as being like a betrothal and marriage. The descendants of Jacob - the children of Israel - had become slaves in Egypt.  G-d sees this and like an angry boyfriend comes in, curses the Egyptians with 10 plagues, takes Israel out.  He leads them through the waters of the Red Sea and kills the enemies that are following them.  He then leads them to Mount Sinai where He gives them His Covenant. (Much as the marriage contract is read in a traditional wedding.) Read Exodus 1 through 20.\n\nIsrael entered into the Promised Land and generations later the nation was split into 2 kingdoms.  Israel was the northern kingdom and Judah was the southern kingdom.  Israel was conquered by Assyria and the people there were dispersed amoung the nations and no one knows where their descendants are now.  Judah was taken into captivity by Babylon but was allowed to return.  They were later conquered again by Greeks and then by the Romans.  \n\nSince the area was called Judea, the nation was called Judah, and the people were called Jews; the unnamed religion of the people became known as "Judaism".

I would say yes G-d dose look at culture and national identity more strongly than He looks at bloodline, but still in the average Jew the Hebrew blood line is quite strong.\n\nhttp://www.khazaria.com/genetics/abstracts.html

There was an interesting documentary on this a few days ago on Discovery Times on cable I watched the other day that explains it to my satisfaction at the time......When Adam and Eve were forged by God and cast out of the Garden of Eden and Cain and Able were born it is theorized there were other tribal humans living outside the Garden of Eden and when the groups intermixed the "Holy" families were born under one bloodline......Those folks were of somewhat African and Middle Eastern ancestry in the countries we know of as today.........And hence the variety of complexions in the human race today as we know it

The Jews built them when they went into slavery. Take a close look at egyptian art...you can see these bald guys with their bearded slaves..\n\nAnyone want to disprove that?

Don't get me started on this subject. I believe and some historians agree that the only true originals of that area of the world is the Palestinians every Jew is not genetically connect to the original people only religously.\nNotice most of the Jews that came back to "take back their land" came there from European countries. I have no problems with Jews at all but the facts are most Jews of wealth and knowledge were taken away by the Romans in the \ndays of Roman rule  inter-bred wth  the local people and convert some to Judaism.This is over 2000 years!\n The ones that stayed were invaded by others and eventually became Islamic and called themselves Palestinian.\nThe only reason the major countries of the world support Israel is because the Jews control the banking industry of the world.They got the money! I told you not to get me started.

Well, either they are descended from the "Lost Tribe of Israel" or they aren't.  If the DNA shows that they aren't, only those "blinded" by faith will still believe they are.

The Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-39 was most likely black.  I believe all of the disciples in the gospels were Jews.  Jesus did perform miracles for Gentiles (Matthew 15:21-28) and teach them (John 4:5-42).  The Samaritans believed, but they were not disciples in the sense that they followed Him.  The Pharisees would have had a raving fit if they had.\n\nThe 12, who became the Apostles, were all Jews.\n\nThe story of Rachel starts in Genesis 29:6 and her death is last mentioned in Genesis 48:7.\n\nMatthew 2:18 is a quote of Jeremiah 31:15 -\n\nThus says the LORD:\n“A voice was heard in Ramah,\nLamentation and bitter weeping,\nRachel weeping for her children,\nRefusing to be comforted for her children,\nBecause they are no more.”\n\nThat's the only mention of Rachel, in the New Testament - but it's the same Rachel as in Genesis.\n\nI don't know if we know any of the names of the Apostles' wives.  Peter's mother-in-law is mentioned in Matthew 8:14, Mark 1:30, and Luke 4:38.

"Jews" for Jesus are not Jews, and there is no difference between them and fundamentalist Christianity, who are the ones paying for such ministries as the "Jews" for Jesus who missionize Jews.\n\nMany people, Christians and some Jews as well, erroneously believe that just as one can be Black and Christian, just as one can be Oriental and Christian, one can also be Jewish and Christian. It is not true. The Jews are not a race. There is no genetic code passed from either mother or father to the child that makes that child a Jew. Even if all, or some, of the genetic code in a child could be proved to be of Jewish Origin, that would not make the child a Jew. Jewish law determines who is a Jew, and Jewish law is quite clear. If a person's mother is a Jew, and that person has not converted to another faith, then that person will be considered fully Jewish, so long as that person wishes to identify solely as a Jew. Although one cannot convert to become a member of a race, one who converts to Judaism does, indeed, become fully a Jew. Similarly, if one converts from Judaism to another faith, one is no longer a Jew.\n\nMessianic "Judaism" is a product of the successful missionizing campaign of such ministries as the "Jews" for Jesus, who try to make it look as though one can be a Jew and a Christian at the same time. By definition, one who believes in Jesus as their savior is a Christian. One who accepts Jesus as anything other than a man who once lived, but died without doing anything the Real Messiah will do when he gets here (hence the reason for a Second Coming!), is a Christian and no longer a Jew.\n\nThe Orthodox Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, writing for the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America, for the National Conference of Synagogue Youth, the Orthodox Youth Group, in his book The Real Messiah, on page 21 wrote:\n\n""This brings us back to our original question: \nWhat can a Jew lose by embracing Christianity? \n\nThe answer is: Everything. \n\nChristianity negates the fundamentals of Jewish \nfaith, and one who accepts it rejects the very \nessence of Judaism. Even if he continues to keep \nall of the rituals, it is the same as if he \nabandoned Judaism completely. \n\nA Jew who accepts Christianity might call himself \na "Messianic 'Jew,'" but he is no longer a Jew. \nHe can no longer even be counted as part of a \nJewish Congregation.""\n\nWe Jews define for ourselves who is and who is not a Jew, and not the Jewish wannabees, and the targets of this newest technique in missionizing Jews. \n\nThe majority of the membership of Messianic ""Jewish"" congregations, as a matter of fact, were not ever Jewish up until recently, and this is also true about their Messianic ""rabbis."" Many of these "rabbis" change their names to something that sounds stereotypically Jewish, in order to better target those they want to convert to Christianity.\n\nAs the success of this newest technique in missionizing the less knowledgeable Jews increased, the percentage of membership of ex-Jews as members of their messianic congregations has also increased, now running about 50-50.\n\nIt is also interesting to note that a large number of people converting TO Judaism have come to real Judaism from having been exposed to Messianic ""Judaism."" \n\nAt a messianic congregation, all references to Christian theology has been changed to make it sound more Jewish, and therefore more pallatable to their targets. They will only refer to Jesus as 'Yeshua' (which would not have been his name), they will say 'moshiach' instead of 'christ,' they will say 'synagogue' instead of 'church,' and on and on, in keeping with the techniques described in the book Understanding Church Growth by Donald MacGavran, who helped the idea of Indiginous Cultural Evangelism get started. \n\nTh

Racism is stupid, and anyone with any Biblical understanding knows it. For one, we are all one race, the human race. Some humans just have different features. So what? We all descended from one man, Adam, and also Noah since the flood. We are all relatives in one way or another. Blah! *resists urge to rant*

Do you mean Hebrews or Israelites, Jews an a Israelites are different. A Jew is anyone who relgion is Judaism, it not a race but a religion. Jew is in the Bible but it's a mistranslation, everytime "Jew" is used in the Bible it should read Judah. Judah is one of the 12 tribes of Israel, so calling ALL Israelites Jews is incorrect. Moses was from the tribe Levi not Judah so that means that he wasn't a Jew, Abraham counldn't a descendant of his own great great grandson so he wasn't a Jew ethier. The name Jew should have never even appear in the English translation.\n\nToday many Jews are white, ask ANY Jew, what does it take to be a Jew. They will tell you to convert to Judaism or if your moms a Jew, then your Jewish.\n\nNONE of them will tell you that to be a Israelites you HAVE to be a decsendant of one of the 12 tribes of Jacob/Israel.\nNote all through out scripture the Bible says that genology is ONLY pass through the FATHER never the mom/wife.\n\nWith that been said Jews are not Israelites and Israelites are not Jews. \n\nTO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION: Todays most Jews are descendants of Ashkenaz and Khazar tribes Both are decsendants of Japhet, Genesis 10 1-5 with are European tribes, which is why todays Jews are white. Until when find some evidences of what Isrealites looked like and can proven they are Israelites, then we would know what color they are.

So you think maybe the Sanhedrin had a few black guys in there? Maybe Pontius Pilate was a brudda? Palestinians are not black. Romans were not black. The Bible mentions black people. The first convert from outside the world of mainstream Jewry, mentioned in Acts, was a black man "an Ethiopian eunuch, a high officr at the court of Candace, Queen of Sheba" but he was regarded as sufficiently unusual to be mentioned specifically.As for not portraying anything good, well there are very few comedy sequences during a crucifixion. It's generally a messy and unpleasant business. Kinda depends on whether you think the Salvation of mankind qualifies as "good."
