I believe that Judaism is a Religion based on & rooted in the Bible Old Testament. However, Hebrew people are a distinct race of folks sharing a common genetic relationship. Anyone who chooses to practice Judaism as their religion is Jewish in my opinion.

there was a world wide generic test given to a great number of people. Ethiopian people had a lot of genes that matched Jewish people. just the facts, mack.

Why is so hard for people to understand lineage . If one knows where he comes from and what his ancestors told stories that were passed on from generation to generations then there must be some truth in what was told. Why should things always be White washed for acceptance.

There's a temple in Ethiopia wherein Ethiopians claim houses the Ark of the Covenant but I'm doubtful as they don't seem to hide their claims but they let no one see it but their priest. Why would they want the notoriety but not confirm their claims??

Player #49699886, my mother always claimed to be descended from the last king of Ireland. None of us believed her either.

Ultimately HE was imprisoned into a mud 🛖 hut until he died. I think it's very cruel.

That anyone has the Ark of the Covenant of God here on Earth is a falsehood. As a believer in God's Word, He tells me exactly where it is now in the Book of Revelation (appropriate). In Chapter 11, verse 19... the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in His temple the Ark of His Testament (Covenant).
Player #3568631
Ethiopia have a lot of biblical claims, as the church there claims to have the Ark of the Coventent (but no one is aloud to see it but the priests). If he was a descendant he would have jewish genetics.
