Do the Jews that call themselves Jews know that they are the fake Jews or do they really not know the truth?

If you read the Bible it is clear that the Jews that claim to be Jews are definitely not the true Jews, even the so called "orthodox Jews" so why do they claim to be?

    What is so magic about the word "Jew" that you're so desperate to claim it for yourself?

    We 'claim' to be Jews because that's what we are and have known ourselves to be through many generations. Just because some Christians want to change the definition of the word 'Jew' doesn't stop us knowing that we follow the religion of Judaism in a long tradition.

    It's a bit like my saying that what you think are elephants aren't real elephants, the real ones are the animals some of us think are lions. Words have meanings through acceptance, unless you believe there is some magic in the word itself. If so, how about explaining to us what makes it so important to you that you want to usurp our name for ourselves?

    I know the true, and I know I am Jew, now there are some fakes Jews there are christians playing to be Jews those are known as "messianic jews". But since you are saying Orthodox Jews, Also I do read bible I just dont read the "Christian Bible" ( That what christian call the New Testament) A Rabbi at my Synagogue said "I dont want to heard any Jew calling Christian Bible the NT"

    Anyway your question is ignorant

    Jewish? There isn't any change among a false Jew and a false Christian, This ill international we are living in is headquartered on hate, jealousy, selfishness, greed, and the pass over-use of energy. People wish to seem greater than they're. See two Tim three:a million-five Sometimes all of us inflate our selves to provoke others.But in Truth there is just one we have to provoke. Because he appears into our Figurative hearts. See Eccl eight:nine, Jer 17:10, Gen 6:five

    you have to explain what a true jew is and why "Orthodox jews" are not actual jews?? you cannot ask a question like that.

    You may need to cite the chapter and verse reference on this one. In other words, where exactly in the Bible does it say that "the Jews that claim to be Jews are definitely not the true Jews"?

    I really don't think that anyone cares for your New Testament definitions of Judaism because it does not make anyone of us more or less Jewish than we are. Halacha defines what we are and not Christianity. But in my eyes, you should be carefull with yourself calling "Christian" because our "Bible" is as well part of your Bible, which defines pretty clear who is a Jew and if you ignore that and claim to know it better than those who live with it for several thousand years, you definetly do not take your Bible serious and can not call yourself "Christian" - otherwise you would take it serious and not try to abuse it for this stupid polemics.

    I know the truth,I am a Jew

    That is fact whether you choose to believe it or not because you don't get to define Judaism only Jews get to do that.

    Why would the Jews care what the *Christian* Bible says? If they believed the Bible, they would be Christians, not Jews.

    I also have no idea who you think the "true Jews" are.

    I think its amazing that some christian groups try to teach this, and go so far as to teach christians that they are actually the new Jews. Anyone who can read, can understand the lineage that makes someone Jewish.
