Judaea, Judah and Jew, Christogenea Europe, July 5th, 2015

Understanding that Judaea in the Roman period was a multi-cultural province of Canaanites and Edomites as well as Israelites of the tribe of Judah is the first step in understanding why Jesus was certainly not a "Jew". Today's Jews descend from Edomites and Canaanites. While a few may have partially descended from Judah, they are bastards and do not count as Israel.
