" then I would guess that the race of people referred to as "Jews" (separate from the "Jews" of Judaism) is the "swarthy somewhat hooked-nose and kindy haired semitic Jews"
Can you really distinguish these Jews from Syrians, Iraqis, and Arabs? I think if you were blindfolded and released in Syria, Lebanon or some other arab country you would think that you have been droped in the midst of a of a Jewish neighborhood.
I know what you mean, however. Before I married into the Khazar clan and became sensitized to the nuances of Judaism, I also sterotyped all Jews as semitic.
Isn't it wonderful how God looked down upon our chaos and confusion, and with a heart full of compassion and love, He decided to die for the sins of all nations, tribes and tongues.
All praises and glory to God our Father, the Lord Jesus and the Lord Holy Spirit now and forever and ever and ever. |
