Sure. But who checks them. If you click on ufo's link up there,
there are 78 'references' not sources. Have a read of some of them.
This was #78

There seems to be a lot of opinions referred to, and not studies quoted
It's been shown before, mostly on politicians, that wikipedia can be changed
to suit anybody. It's possible to log in and change anything apparently.
I try not to quote wiki if I can help it.

The Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah, but they believe he existed and I imagine it would be taken as a given that he was Jewish. HIs 'father' Joseph lived in Nazareth and was of the house of David; and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, (David's city.) .

you are actually disputing?
anyhoo - this is one of the sources:
Shawn Kelley's groundbreaking study shows how the major intellectual movements of the modern world, such as Orientalism and romantic nationalism, become infused with the category of race. He then traces the processes through which racially-grounded thinking has influenced modern biblical scholarship.

I'll say again, the Jew WERE the chosen people.
Do you want to discuss this or are you just going to ignore what I say AGAIN?

The Jews are no longer the chosen people - you show me where they are and I'll show you where they are not.
and, by the way, did you respond to my other question of you about bowing / kneeling before graven images?
