What had occurred at other times in US history? Catholic immigration or complaining about it? ---

> [@HenHaoChi](#): > > What denomination was Christ? > > Anyone know? Jewish. > Was Jesus a Jew? Of course, Jesus was a Jew. He was born of a Jewish mother, in Galilee, a Jewish part of the world. All of his friends, associates, colleagues, disciples, all of them were Jews. He regularly worshipped in Jewish communal worship, what we call synagogues. He preached from Jewish text, from the Bible. He celebrated the Jewish festivals. He went on pilgrimage to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem where he was under the authority of priests… He lived, was born, lived, died, taught as a Jew. ---

In my view, while there is much merit and wisdom in this discussion… you are overcomplicating several issues… For Millenia, The Most High has been sending messengers to this wretched world. The prophets spake thus: 1 - Be kind to each other. 2 - Wash regularly. 3 - Be nice to animals and plants. Now, whom among us even keeps those three, very fair and reasonable suggestions all the time, let alone the Ten Commandments? ---
