    Why did the Jews refused to be hellenized by Greeks

    An often overly romanticized figure.

    The reason Aramaic became a commonly spoken language was because it was the lingua franca of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires, much like how French became an important language in parts of Africa b/c of colonialism. The original Aramaic speakers were the Assyrians who came from modern day...

    Hannukah celebrates the victory of the Jewish people over the Greek Seleucids, Rosh HaShana is the Jewish New Year, and Yom Kippur is the day of atonement.

    Are There any Orthodox Christians on RF, other than Me and Shiranui?

    Only 40? According to Wiki, the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox church itself has 45 million followers. And then there's the Eritrean, Coptic, Armenian, and Nasrani.

    I don't have children, let alone a wife. But as someone raised Jewish growing up, we never really did talk about Christmas other than the fact that we didn't celebrate it. I was never really jealous, oddly enough. But then again, about 20% of the people in my 1 million person county are Jewish...

    The ancient dialect of Aramaic spoken in the region is nearly identical to Hebrew. Most Jews spoke Aramaic and not Hebrew at that time period and there are even some Jewish prayers said in Aramaic. Jewish Aramaic - My Jewish Learning How is that proof he wasn't Jewish? :shrug:

    I don't see how Nazareth currently being mainly Arab Muslim has to do with Jesus being Jewish or not...

    No I am aware of the problem. I believe that they should have the right to return to a Palestinian state (roughly 1967 borders), but not Israel. Israel should offer some form of compensation to those whose who can prove they had property which they owned taken in the '48 or '67 wars.

    Why do you keep changing your link? ;) Did you realize that this- A Six-Step Program to Prosecute the Zionists Who Support Genocide and Political Corruption | Veterans Today is meaningless conspiracy drivel that has little tidbits like this: :rolleyes:

    It's part of Israel and Eretz Yisroel technically, but it's predominately Arab Muslim and has no Jewish presence or holy sites. I would want to swap it for one of the large settler cities/blocs (eg Gush Etzion) in the West Bank.

    I believe that it should roughly be the 1967 borders with land swaps (eg Israel get's Modi'in Illit, Palestine gets Nazareth). What exactly do you mean?

    No I don't. I believe they have a right to a state as much as Israel does. Where did I say that?

    Because in the 'New Testament', the Gospel of Luke has a genealogy which connects Jesus to figures like Abraham, Isaac, and King David. If Jesus wasn't Jewish in any way whatsoever he couldn't have possibly been a descendant of these people. Without the connection, Christians (nor Jesus)...

    Well if Jesus isn't a Jew, that poses a problem for his claim to be a prophet and messiah, doesn't it? ;) No. How dare those Arab Muslims steal land from the Byzantine Romans who took the land from the Jews?!?! :rolleyes:
