why you think Muslims invite you to Islam?!

Not all Jews are of the tribe of Judah, but the southern kingdom of Judah survived when the northern kingdom of Israel did not.

I'd of thought it like a spiritual green card/visa? You become a Jew, then you are apart of the Tribe of Judah?

[dauer]

Nope. It's not all about the tribe of Judah. In Jewish liturgy you don't really come across the word Yehudi all that much either. I think the most likely thing you'll come across is probably Bnei Yisrael, children of Israel. Jew is just most common in the English language. Iirc the only place it shows up in the Tanach is in Megilat Esther, but it could also be that's the first place it shows up.

You don't see the problem? What is race: an isolated club wherein a person is born into it or born outside of it. A choice not selected by the will, but selected by the birth. If the Jews proselytized then I would be relieved... because the walls of racism would be broken. As it stands the walls are still forming for yet another large fall. Same goes for every country though in a way. Inbred.

I agree that God loves everyone, otherwise He wouldn't have created us.

cyberpi,

we accept converts. We don't seek them out. If you examine the Jewish community closely you'll find we're racially diverse.
