What insights do you have on the history of Israel and of the Jewish people?

What biblical or religious significance does it have?

What we call "Jews" are actually Khazars who migrated to Eastern Europe.
The true descendents of the Israelites reside in North Africa.

The Jews who are descended from the Khazars are also all descended from the people who once lived in what is now Israel.

The ones you speak of in North Africa follow the religion of the people of Judea before the diaspora, while most modern Jews follow the Rabbinical tradition, which started a few hundred years after the diaspora, so it's a little younger than Christianity.

Just saw a clip from Pear Harbor. I knew this film was bad, but holy shit Batman, this scene was stupid. Roosevelt is talking with his advisors and one
of them says that the Japanese can invade as far as Chicago if we lose the Pacific fleet. No way anyone actually said that right? That would mean:
>The Japanese manage to land millions of troops on the west coast
>Defeat our military in California
>March 2000 miles over deserts, mountains and plains
>Maintaining Air superiority this whole time
>Crossing hundreds of rivers, some incredibly wide
>The main industry is in the east, so we still would be producing plenty of weapons
>They would have to stop new ships from attacking from the Panama Canal
>Dealing with our army fighting on home soil as well as a well armed civilian population

Did anyone seriously think this might be possible? What other stupid mistakes do big budget movies make that are so obvious you cringe?

I saw a trailer for that new movie Risen a day or two ago. I was actually kind of interested at first, because it seemed like a novel idea.

Then I watched the trailer where Joseph Fienne's main character Tribune guy does a voiceover;

>I have served the Roman Empire
>I have fought wars against those that did not believe in our gods

Dropped.

Note that in this thread, strong evidence was provided for God: >>637821

While it might not convince you, you should at least consider God a reasonable possibility, and that in itself will help my case here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxlFxyU38KM

Before we began actually arguing the case, we first of all have to clear up if Christian theology is even compatible with the Old Testament, so I'll start there. I can't go into all the minute details, but I will with the two main things, the Trinity, and the change in stuff like Kosher.

1. The Trinity. First of all, YHWH appears as a Trinity in Genesis 18. The common rebuttal to this is that the God repeatedly says the Lord is One. Now, what does this signify, God is One? Why does God stress it repeatedly? That's really a good question, because it seems like a peculiar thing to stress. The answer is that it is foreshadowing of Christ saying, "I am my father are one." These phrases are meant to be parallel, so we know when Christ says that, he means "one" in the sense that God is One. Not something figurative, but in the sense that Christ is actually God.

2. The Law, why is it no longer in affect? Well (and even Orthodox Judaism agrees here) Jewish Law is NOT for the whole world to follow, it is a specific covenant with the Jewish people, it is like Nazarite or monastic vows. The Jews are a priestly people meant to lead the gentiles to salvation (Isaiah 49:6). All that, Orthodox Judaism concurs with, the only difference is they think that will come with the end times, but gentiles are never seen as required to follow Jewish Law, just the Noahide Law (Orthodox Christian cannot eat blood, either, just as the Noahide Law says). Christians think it came with Christ, and the new covenant was established then, which means the Jews fulfilled their function as leading the Gentiles to salvation, they were now supposed to be a role model for them within the new global covenant. So the idea that the Jewish law is superseded by a brand new global covenant makes sense here, or at least it's not out of the question.

Now, let see which Christian narrative we talking about: the primary ones are the pagan Christian narrative (Gnostic), the Pharisaic Christian narrative (Gospel of the Hebrews), and the Essenic Christian narrative (Orthodox). So of course we'll be discussing the last narrative. First thing first, the Essenic Jews considered telling the truth to be a matter of extreme importance, morally, they saw it as better to die than to lie (contrast this with someone like Odysseus). In evidence of this, let's look as Josephus first off, who says they forbade oaths, believing that it was indicting yourself if your regular yes or no were no considered trustworthy, but that if you did need to take an oath, that was it, nothing whatsoever could come between you and that oath; an example is when you were initiated into the Essenes, you had to eat only with them; and if you did something grievous, people would get kicked out, but according to Josephus, they'd often have to live on grass because they said they'd only eat with other Essenes (this of course would eventually kill them, but they were frequently taken back in after many days of privation). This scrupulousness in regard to the truth as highly important, from a moral perspective, was maintained in early Essenic Christianity. In support of this, you only have to see how denying Christ, even on pain of death, was considered absolutely wrong--no other religion is that strict, as far as I know, where you cannot pretend and say you are not be a part of it if threatened with death. Another support for the immense concern for truth is that Christians had to actively confess their sins to each other--in fact, early Christian account record that confession had to be to the whole congregation.

>Is Varg right?

I don't think so.

>I thought the theory was universally accepted.

Things in science never really are. I think that it has the most evidence pointed towards it, but I don't think I'd put much weight in it.

>What does /his/ think about Varg?

He's a sociopath and murderer, ruined one of the greatest Black Metal bands in history, and has resorted to racial theories to try and feel superior now that he's amounted to nothing in his life.

I think Varg is pretty based. I am not too sure about the 'out of Africa' theory considering they have recently found a human ancestor which predated the oldest found 'human' in Africa.
