Met a lady at the shop the other day and she did a family tree search and found that back in the 1600's in Germany/France area her family was Jewish. One of the sons stayed Orthodox and the other became French Huguenot because of the persecution they suffered.
There are a lot of Christians that have Jewish roots. As far as I know, I'm just adopted into Abraham's family through Christ, either way, it is fine with me.
One of my favorite musicians is Paul Wilbur who's music i'm sure you know is about "Messianic Judaism", such as the song Adonai.

Interesting, but not surprising.

Many people don't realize how many ancestors they have. A person has 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 g-gp, 16 gg-gp, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 etc. If you figure 25 years / generation you don't have to go back far to have 10,000's of ancestors.

400 years ago would be 16 generations. 2^16 = 65,536 ancestors. We are indeed the family of man.

(Aside - all us old computer guys recoginize those numbers. I bet most can quickly write them in hex.)

Like the man said, "ain't that a kick in the head!"
