<<Their is a difference when one is defending ones race and culture.>>

Abraham came from Ur of the Chaldeans which is situated in modern Iran. I don't read anywhere that he defended his culture or race or that he even thought of turning back to it. The scriptures state that he was searching for a city whose builder and foundation was the Lord. The scriptures also make it plain that he did not possess it while still in the flesh. So why do you think it's so important to defend a culture that doesn't confess Jesus Christ as the rightful ruler?

You call the Jews a race but lets talk about that. Abraham came from Babylonia
so that makes him of the same biological lineage as those in present day Iraq, Iran, and the neighboring countries. What separates him though is that God called Him out. He had a faith that was pleasing to God and the scriptures make it clear that those who have the faith of Abraham are called the sons of Abraham. Untold millions can trace their biological roots back to him, Jews, Arabians, and a host of others but that doesn't mean they have the blessings of Abraham. How can they if they lack the same vision? You can find in Genesis where Abraham sent far away all his children that weren't born of promise.

<<My wife asked you a question; Why would Jesus be born a Jew if they were a people who worshipped satan. Your answer that's a difficult question to answer.>>

It's difficult to answer when someone purposely twists a question in order to fulfill their own agenda by entrapment. Read your question carefully. Do you see entrapment? I never said the people worshipped satan. Do you get slightly offended when someone tries to entrap you? .........we could go further here..

As to rest of what your saying I will just consider the source...
