  Who is really considered a Jew?

  by Justahuman24 in

  i've been told by a lot of jewish people - and have read on-line too - that a jewish person is considered jewish only if his/her mother was jewish; that once "jewishness" is passed on through the mother.

  now if that is true, then how come the jews consider solomon, moses' sons, david and others mentioned in the bible - and who were important characters too - to be jewish?

  ruth wasn't jewish and she was david's grandmother.

  That's what I thought; that it must be historical difference and that it's NOW that they consider someone jewish only if their mother was jewish. But I mean, why would they change that? No matter what, the person will be half jewish even if the mother is jewish but the father is not, genetically speaking and therefore shouldn't make any difference.

  And yes, Ruth was a Moabite. And the Moabites were related to the Jewish people. But so was Job. He was a Chaldean but he's not considered Jewish.

  Now if that is true, then how come the Jews consider Solomon, Moses' sons, David and others mentioned in the Bible - and who were important characters too - to be Jewish? Ruth wasn't Jewish and she was David's grandmother. David is considered Jewish. I don't quite understand it.

  No. And Jesus and Satan are NOT "brothers". The Bible says that once the angels fell from grace, there was no turning back; there was no forgiveness for them. And as far as I know, the WTS never taught that.

  How many Languages

  by buffalosrfree in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  quick question for ya, in genesis it gives the children of noahs boys and talks about their nations and their languages.

  however, in chapter 11 of genesis it speaks of all mankind speaking only one language, how can that be if they each had their own tongue/language?

  also how could light be created in genesis chapter one before the great luminaries were created to cause light.

  They all have their own explanation.

  Languages - it's obvious from the reading that chapter 10 is just a general statement but the following chapter gives background. So, the part about "all having their own language" just because it appears before the "all spoke one language" doesn't mean it happened first. It's obvious it's not in chronological order. Well, not all of Genesis. It's not a chronological description.

  About the ark - well, it was a big ark. and based on the way it was designed, it was made to last and endure the waves and flood.

  photosynthesis - in this regard, I do think the WTS has it right. Light was created on the first day but reading Genesis, it gives the impression that the sun was created before the 4th day. Besides, there are many suns and moons and the Bible only focuses on ours.

  Ken P is very optimistic. Viagra makes it hard not really big. It'd only be true if you were in reality big. Same comment goes to 5ego.

  Do you know what your last name means and where it comes from...?

  by Justahuman24 in

  1. watchtower

  i have always been interested in what last names mean and where they come from and if someone famous in the past is related to us because of the same last name.

  my last name comes from greek but my family is not greek.

  it dates back to the year 700ce and it was around the time in europe when people were starting to get last names - i'm talking about the general people not monarchs.

  I don't remember what website I found the info about my last name. It was soooo long ago. I even found three different - but similar - family crests.

  My last name is "Spanish" but again, as I said before it was originally taken from the Greek language. Lots of people though, ask me if it is Italian lol...
