    Only if you believe the Biblical account of the Flood.

    robertgrist

    Of course, the Bible was basically written by and for Jews….without any bias whatsoever.
    nomdeplume

    It just occurred to me that any account of the time after the Flood must have been written by Noah, his wife Joan (of Ark) or his sons or their wives. Also Noah must have had a copy of Genesis on the Ark. How lucky we are that it did not get destroyed in the Flood.

    To Robert- - -it says in the new testament that the gospel story must be preached and taught to all races and countries. And it says In Christ there is no jew nor gentile.,No East or West, no male nor female. In other words, the bible is written for everybody.

    No .... some of us evolved.

    tertan

    that was sort of my point. the question is a bit sarcastic. it's nice to see some people that are thinkers and logical out there.
    mycatsmom

    flip, just because you've evolved, doesn't mean your ancient ancestors weren't jewish .
    tony.francis.7982

    Man had evolved from monkeys but some are still monkeys. Similarly, other cultures have progressed from Jews. But some still remain Jews.
    Rebbe Jon

    Monkeys? I dunno about you, but I believe in the scriptures where it states that man was created in the image and likeness of God.
    If your ancestor were monkeys, what does that make you?

    tony.francis 7982 - A very large proportion of the Monkeys DNA is the same as Homo Sapiens - What's wrong with these Monkeys - they are more capable also of showing caring and compassion than many human beings. I so dilike human beings who feel they are superior to animals - there is absolutely no scientific evidence to prove animals are inferior.

    Most ancient cultures, countries ,and societies have documented some kind of a great flood, but since their scope of the world was limited, the flood probably wasn't all over the whole earth.......just as the tsunami in Indonesia was not all over the whole earth. Therefore, many countries were  never touched by this massive flood. So, no,we are not ALL descended from the ancient jews.

    wise and logical answer with explanation,much more informative than just saying no.

    Side note... Most Native American tribes have "flood" stories. Cherokee for example;

    "When the Earth begun there was just water. All the animals lived above it and the sky was beginning to become crowded. They were all curious about what was beneath the water and one day Dayuni'si, the water beetle, volunteered to explore it.

    He went everywhere across the surface but he couldn't find any solid ground. He then dived below the surface to the bottom and all he found was mud.

    This began to enlarge in size and spread outwards until it became the Earth as we know it.

    After all this had happened, one of the animals attached this new land to the sky with four strings.

    Just after the Earth was formed, it was flat and soft so the animals decided to send a bird down to see if it had dried. They eventually returned to the animals with a result.

    The land was still too wet so they sent the great Buzzard from Galun'lati to prepare it for them.

    The buzzard flew down and by the time that he reached the Cherokee land he was so tired that his wings began to hit the ground. Wherever they hit the ground a mountain or valley formed. The Cherokee land still remains the same today with all the land forms that the Buzzard formed.

    The animals then decided that it was too dark, so they made the sun and put it on the path in which it still runs today.

    The animals could then admire the newly created Earth around them."

    -There's more of course, but that serves the point. Allegory as well, don't go rippin' at the physics. Lol!

    Concerning Jews... There are a growing contingent saying that the Nat.-Am.'s are the lost tribe... Even the "Central Band" of Cherokee(not recognized, or real... bunch o' Anglo's w/long hair & plastic beads, idiots) have gone as far as to have DNA test. No middle-eastern or Henrew Geneology. Except for the Middle-easterners and Hebrews that wanna play Cowboys & Indians.

    Mormon's being another one, also saying we are blighted by God, hence the red skin. Some say the Africans & Muslims are cursed, as Ishmael's descendants, hence the dark skin... Again, idiots. But that was clear when I said Mormon, right? Right.

    If like to add, while discussing idiots;
    ---> tony.francis.7982

    "Mens iz munkeez & munkeez iz mens! Buts a Jooz iz a Joowie-JiOS face & a iz a bro... & sums uvvuss' iz evolushunized beyond da Jooz... Cuz weez smartser than juzz wunn jooz cuz theyz's only a jooz stillz... Dey doo naht doo dee tech-support for T-Mobile. Tank u, cum again(IN YOUR EYE GUPTA!)!!!"

    Or WTF-ever HORSE-SHIT it was you were trying to pass off as clever or insightful. You sir, are a complete ass & a cloistered moron.

    Don't mistake me, I support as well as have unwavering faith in evolution. That doesn't shake faith I've placed elswhere. Divine nor otherwise. All part & parcel of the same & a circular argument no matter where you jump on. I'm here, now & not from nothing and/or "no one." All that matters. Specifics are moot. Prove it. any of it, either side, beyond doubt. Now, don't gimme; "But, that's where faith comes in." As I said, I've faith, abundantly even. But, don't dare take a dump in my hand and tell me it's payday. Show me an absolute truth, devoid of opinion, dogma or demeanor. I'll lay myself at your feet if you might. At that point, with one undeniable fact, I'm done. That is the answer we all have been questing for. Godhood & the Godhead.

    Apologies polite folk, I couldn't let the opportunity pass, for me to point out, in my opinion, not saying im positive, but to only & clearly voice my observance that; ***tony.francis.7982***, you, friend, are a damned-fool idiot of impressive surety. By my count & your declaration at least. I blame you(and your house/ilk) for everything to date. Ty.

    Back to subject, LoL!:
    But, they ARE actually showing correlation in the genome of ACTUAL Cherokee & Hebrew peoples. As well, similarities in the proto-languages that resulted in the more modern dialects of both cultures. Interesting. Can't confidently comment beyond just interesting. Lol!

    Apparently, it went like this. Herschel & Schlomoe were having rent wars in the Holy Land. Herschel owned the land & Schlomoe the housing. Shlomoe, fed up, had heard someone say that there were sure to be wonderful real estate opportunities to be had across the ocean & rent controlled teepee's to lease. So, Schlomoe AND his house, hopped the first Pheonician Freightor, Ark, Evening/Off-Season Cruise... Whathaveyou. Then MOZOLTOV!!!! Miami, Manhattan & L.A. were founded... They also started wearing moccasins, foregoing sandals all together. The end.

    One more fun Jew-Injun fact; Most of the "Indians" you grew up watching in westerns, were Jews or Italians(also a close relation). Remember "Iron Eyes Cody?" The Crying One Tear On the Side of the Highway Don't Litter Lonely & Noble Savage PSA guy, wait for it...

    I myself, am Jewakee, through & through. Jewish one side, Cherokee the other. How 'bout that? I easily pass for either, or Sicilian. No joke. :-) All it means when the show drops is: I buy all of my FIREWATER at WHOLESALE!!! :::Rim-Shot::: G'night folks! ;-D
    mycatsmom

    TY, Richard Proffer. For once, someone said something good about my answers.

    Who said they were all Jews? the Bible doesn't say that.

    digger

    I agree. There HAD to have been a few Italians. We're everywhere,
    doolittle

    @ digger- I hope so! Nothing like a good italian meal after a 40 day flood!
    facebook

    Hey! What about a Red lobster meal after the Flood.
    doolittle

    Lobster is what we ate on the ark- that and an awful lot of fish (shhh don't tell Fishy)
    facebook

    No! there were all kind of food to be had on the ark with all the animals in there,like bacond & eggs, ect!!
    doolittle

    Now facebook...My ancestor and the first Doolittle Noah took a male & female pair of each land animal-so they could reproduce (God was sick of wo/men not the animals. Noah did as he was told- they ate no animals on the ark!
    facebook

    Oh! I must of miss understood the menue,is not a fish an animal? well surely they could have balony and eggs. what about cricket and spider dip in honey!
    doolittle

    eggs-yes. crickets and spiders in honey-yummy. balogna -no..it's processed pig stuff.

    Digger, at one point the arab type muslims invaded Sicily; and that's why there's so many people down there that look somewhat Arab. My late husb was mistaken for Arab by people,but both his parents came from Sicily.So, he was Italian/ American

    NOT according to the bible as there were giants in those days . so if the flood didnt kill the giants then it is safe to say the men created by the other gods survived . and keep in mind he was told take ALL of your house and as he was a loved and wealthy man he had many servants . what you think he just let them die off.

    mycatsmom

    There are records of giants here in N.AMerica too.Records from the 1800s show that skeltons of giants were found here and in Canada that were 7--8 Ft.tall. A few were 9 ft. Maybe they were the precurser of Big Foot.Or maybe Big Foot is some left over giants.

    A Jew is a person belonging to the tribe of Judah.


    You will find the name is not used in the Bible account prior to the fall of the ten-tribe kingdom of Israel. The southern kingdom was called Judah, and the people were called sons of Judah or the tribe of the sons of Judah. The first one to use the name Jews was the writer of the books of Kings, doubtless Jeremiah, whose prophetic service began in 647?B.C.E.

    Rebbe Jon

    I agree, Butterflies61.
    Every Jew is a Hebrew, but not every Hebrew is a Jew.
    Some of us come from other Tribes of Yisrael.

    The Jews descended from Noah and family along with everyone else human on this planet.  All races as well.  Many generations down from Noah came Abraham, who began as the father of Israel. 


    It needs to be pointed out as well that the fallen angels were the only other ones safe from the Flood waters.  By their returning to spirit existence.  Neither the human wives nor the sons could do so.  They all died.


     


    Neither was any other area spared the Flood due to where the water came from.  Both Genesis 1:6-7 and 2 Peter 3:5-6 show there was a water canopy surrounding the planet.  How thick it was, we are not told.  We can say by mathmatics, the wider the circle, the more water required to make it.  More than adequate to cover the planet.  That the Earth then had to make great changes in the plates to accomodate the increased mass is why it took a year for the water to "go down" enough for exit from the Ark.  Some parts of the surface sank while other parts rose.  Today this still goes on but without the dramatic change.  The planet mass has been a constant since the Flood.  No extra water will comer down again.

    Precisely saying the offspring of the grandson of ABRAHAM are called jews. ABRAHAM had two sons, ISMA"EEL and ISAAC. Jacob was son of ISAAC. The chidrens of Jacob are called children of Israel.. The Jacob had 12 sons, so 12 tribes of jews. The JOSEF, Benjaman, SOLOMAN, David, Moses and the Christ, belongs to childrens of Israel. Majority of Israelese did not accept teaching of Christ. By definition, a jew is one whose mother is jew. The most current definition is, the jew is one whose father or mother is jew. Everybody cannot be a jew. If anything else is special...., may be. This is what we are told as being Muslims. Bible also supports it.

    mycatsmom

    As a Christian, I was taught that too,that Abraham and Isaac was when the jews and the muslims splintered off from each other.
