Christ Was Not A Jew: An Epistle to the Gentiles

CHRIST WAS NOT A JEW: An Epistle to the Gentiles. By Jacob Elon Conner, A.B., Ph.D. New York, 1936.

Initial seeding time: 2 hours approximately.

Banned as hate speech in Canada. A self indictment given the tone is moderate and the arguments are backed by documented sources. J.E. Conner's biography makes interesting reading and demonstrates his breadth of world experience. He wasn't a hick with a chip on the shoulder.

The theme was not original to Conner but has been examined from time to time, the last of scholarly note being its appearance as one of the strands in Lili Zografou's "Antignosis" (1974, Greek language only).

See an illustrative extract below on "Ebionitism" for a current day resonance.

Get the hard copy from OMNI and have a nice debate with your local "pastor". Hours of fun for one and all.

"THE FOUR POINTS OF EBIONITISM

Four points in the position of Ebionitism make clear the nature of
that "heresy." They also stand as a warning against modern Ebiotism--the
heresy that represents Christ as a Jew, and His doctrine a derivative from
Judaism. These points are as follows:

1. "Enforcing the Mosaic law,"
2. "Affirming the Human Birth of Christ, "
3. "Abjuring Paul as a heretic,"
4. "Looking for the return of Christ to found an earthly kingdom."

Taking these four points singly or as a whole, can anyone doubt that they are more Jewish than Christian? No wonder that the writers of
the Talmud, if Graetz is correct, were on the best of terms with these Judeo-Christians in the attempt to bring Christ down to the level of
themselves. With this program before us it is easy to understand the purpose of those two genealogies of Matthew and Luke, awkwardly
designed and lamely executed, attempting to prove that Christ was no other than a member of the Jewish race, and that "salvation is of the Jews"
(John 4:22), and other passages that will occur to the reader."

________________________________________________
"It is the Jewish writers who insist that Christ was of their race.

Reason tells us that Christ was not a Jew, history confirms the dictates of reason, and Christ said, "Men do not gather grapes of thorns or figs of thistles."

This book shows how and why that error originated, and why it must be rectified. It is vital to Christianity."
