King Alexander Jannaeus forcibly converted Galilee in 101 BC.
Such is what happens when you waste your life reading the fucking bible instead of learning history.

Please tell me, you're joking. You can't be that dense and ignorant, or can you?
This is for both of you clueless muppets......
The word "Jew" in the bible refers to a nation, more specifically, to the descendants of the tribe of Judah.
http://www.jewfaq.org/whoisjew.htm
Quote:In the 6th century B.C.E., the kingdom of Israel was conquered by Assyria and the ten tribes were exiled from the land (II Kings 17), leaving only the tribes in the kingdom of Judah remaining to carry on Abraham's heritage. These people of the kingdom of Judah were generally known to themselves and to other nations as Yehudim (Jews), and that name continues to be used today.
In case you missed it, God made a covenant with Abraham, that his seed would become a great nation, so unless you can trace your lineage back to Abraham, you are not a Jew.
Revelation 2:9
Quote:I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
