Jesus Was Jewish

Lately I've seen a poem or two claiming that Jesus wasn't born a Jew but rather a 'Palestinian child' a claim inaccurate and really quite wild When Jesus was born, there was no 'Palestine' That name was created at a later time by the Romans to wipe away all traces of Jewish Israel A tactic unsuccessful, it never worked very well. Jesus was born in the Galilee, circa 4 BCE and crucified 33 years later, about 30 CE, you see When the Romans captured the Temple (70 C.E.) 40 years later -- That's when the revisionist idea of 'Palestine' first gained favor Jesus was as Jewish as Moses, the Jews' greatest Rebbe Those who don't get that, let them go study history

Yes, Jesus was Jewish, indeed! Subtly and not so people try to change history. The savior died on the cross, a sacrifice for you and me. Oh, how I love him.

You've put your finger right on it Kim: Not so subtly today do people go about trying to rewrite history. Thanks for your support! :) gw

Hi Gershon, Even I know this fact. However, some just never took the time to know, they go by hear say or they were misinformed. Have a fantastic day my friend:-) Alexis

A very insightful and factual history lesson for those who lack knowledge of the facts, Gershon. - Bob H

Robert, I very much appreciate your support on what, in some circles today, has become quite a touchy subject. Blessings, Gershon

Oh, Chris! He is the owner of the New England Patriots. You must have had a 'senior moment.' Smiles, Gershon

Ha, ha. I 'believe' that would be quite a feat to accomplish! Thanks, Bobby! Cheers, Gershon

Who in the world does not know that Jesus was Jewish? I cannot fathom not knowing this! But then again, children do not want to memorize their multiplication facts any more "because they are boring". So I am not truthfully that surprised.

Well, if 'flat-earthers' can exist today, then 'Jesus wasn't Jewish' folks can certainly flourish as well, I guess. :) gw

History and poetry, can they go together? Gershon showed us, it can go together... Congrats...

Worth setting straight, Gershon ~ History does tend to get blurry with time. Poetic license?

Either poetic license, or an adaptation of the 'Big Lie technique, I suppose. Thanks, Line. ~ gw
