Judaism came after Abraham (pbuh) .
(Gen. 35:23). Jacob was one of Isaac’s two sons (Gen. 25:26). Isaac was one of Abraham’s two sons (Gen. 21:3). Abraham was, therefore, Judah’s great-grandfather. He was not a Jew, but was rather one of their ancestors, and should appropriately be called a Hebrew (a descendant of Eber—Gen. 11:17-26).

Was Abraham a Jew?
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, known as the Patriarchs, are both the physical and spiritual ancestors of Judaism. They founded the religion now known as Judaism, and their descendants are the Jewish people. Of course, technically, it is incorrect to refer to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as Jews, because the terms "Jew" and "Judaism" were not used generally to refer to this nation until hundreds of years after their time; nevertheless, for convenience and in accordance with common practice, I will use these terms.

But then Isaac is not a Jew either and you had indicated otherwise.Judaism came after Abraham (pbuh) .
(Gen. 35:23). Jacob was one of Isaac’s two sons (Gen. 25:26). Isaac was one of Abraham’s two sons (Gen. 21:3). Abraham was, therefore, Judah’s great-grandfather.

Judaism 101: The Patriarchs and the Origins of Judaism
Nope.religiously, Isaac is the first, no?
Isaac was born on the first day of Pesach (Rosh Hashana 11a). He was the first Jew to be born a Jew
Isaac, Our Father - Jewish History
I dont know if there is verse in Quran said Isaac( pbuh) is a Jew . i will check out
Just for discussion to exchange the views and check the reactions ,I know it's sensitive subject .@Godobeyer , I'm honestly not sure what you're trying to argue and why. Do you see any intrinsic value in being the older 'race'?
It's not much important , i just reply to members question .Again, what is your point and why do you think it important to share?
sorryIs this for real?
The complete sentence is: "Isaac was born on the first day of Pesach (Rosh Hashana 11a). He was the first Jew to be born a Jew, whose parents were Jews."
Seriously, why don't you just read your own sources ?
Are you arguing that because Ismael came first...the Arab race is superior??Salam/Shalom/hi to all
I have an opinion , Irahim/Abraham (pbuh) born Ishmeal (pbuh) from Hajar and Isaac (pbuh) from Sara
Ishmeal (pbuh) came first, then Isaac (pbuh) came . so the Arab race came first then the Jew ,
Are you arguing that because Ismael came first...the Arab race is superior??
Isn't this essentially...I can p#ss farther than you..??....!!!
How about...since they both came from Abraham...they should work together"...for peace..??
That's great...perhaps than you can go through each of your posts...in this thread.....starting with the title of the thread and revise them...so they are not focused on racial superiority.No , I don't mean who is superior .
I do agree with you , that we should work together for peace .
Now there's an understatement...It seems that my sources are contradicting each other, maybe because there are different views, in Judiasm and Christianity
I said again i never mean who superior .That's great...perhaps than you can go through each of your posts...in this thread.....starting with the title of the thread and revise them...so they are not focused on racial superiority.
Now there's an understatement...
It's interesting that a polemic against primogeniture runs as a subtext throughout the Tanakh.
