MOSES WAS NOT A JEW


Here's the thing. All Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jews (Exodus 2:1-10). 

Moses was an Israelite, but he was born of the tribe of Levi, not of Judah. 

The original name for the Israelites was Hebrews. The Word comes from the word "eyver" which refers to "the other side" referring to the fact that Abraham came from the other side of the Euphrates.

The word "Jew" is derived from the Name Judah.

Today, the word "Jew" is used to refer to all of the physical and spiritual descendants of Jacob and the word "Judaism" is used to refer to their beliefs. Technically, this usage is inaccurate.

  1. True. I suspect the reason people keep conflating these terms is purely political.

    also one of the consequences of this truth is that Christianity is actually an older religion than Judaism.
