Hi Shalom,
I am using the word Jews as a lot of people do these days to mean all the descendants of Abraham. I guess that is not literally correct as Jew is short for the tribe of Judah. I'll take your word for that. But the sign hung above Jesus on the cross did say He was the King of the Jews. Did Pilate get it wrong?
But the rest of what you say I have a hard time with. That none of the religious leaders of the day were descended from "Abraham" is not possible in my view. That any had snuck in with a false genealogy is also very unlikely. Because these people were known to each other through the generations falsifying a genealogy would be impossible. The points I made in post #10380 are accurate as far as I can see.
I don't want to discourage any one from studying or discount the value of word studies but I knew a preacher once who had it worked out so that it was OK to have unmarried single "concubines" when he was married! Word study proved it to him. So I am very cautious and I think everyone else should be also.

Have a good one,

Bob
