Do not wander into this site and begin hurling insults at other posters just because they do not accept your weird view of the world.

Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 Sorry. That does not answer **iiandyii** ’s question. The two passages you cite speak only of people pretending to be Jews.

You didn’t ask the question properly. Are you talking a religious jew? Sammy Davis jr(black guy) was a jew by religion. Are you talking about the race? Are you talking about some citizen of the nation of Israel who is atheist but is considered a jew by nationality. I dunno ---
