Way to selectively quote there, cunt.

As I said:

Other Jews who were ALSO Christians:

- the Apostle Paul, a former member of the Sanhedrin.
- All of the original 12 Disciples;
- Every member of the early Christian church

It’s not like there’s some big rulebook being kept that says “Thou shalt not call thyself both Christian and Jew.” Unless you’re an atheist, religion is a subjective matter.
