RS: Ok so someone wrote way before the Mishnah did
BL: Actually the Mishnah is “an authoritative collection of exegetical material embodying the oral tradition of Jewish law and forming the first part of the Talmud”. It was first written down in the 3rd century AD
BL: First the definition of Jew and Jewish has changed over time
BL: “the Mishnah states that the offspring of a Jewish mother”
RS: Basically it’s people who changes it. So first it was through zera seed patrilineal father, then changed to through mother, as the Mishnah states that the offspring of a Jewish mother: because influences from Romans.
BL: Given the Mishnah was first written in the 3rd century AD it’s definition would not apply to the people in the OT.
RS: it says in the article you shared were influenced by the Roman legal system of the time
RS: this was where I was hoping to show neighbors influences and how that affects. After reading your message now I understand what I was trying to achieve, it was neighbors and the influences of neighbors. How does Philistines influences the Hebrews, how did neighbors influences Hebrews, and you shared, how did Romans influences Hebrews - so perhaps one can write about Philistines here. See I learn this now. Its the word influences
RS: it wasn’t 'till reading what you wrote, I now understood what I was after, it was neighbors and how that influences, such as you wrote about Romans. If only I had written like you did, I could had a sense of direction and not lose control. Lesson learn I’m learning from this. I’ll apply more this word influences and see how that helps me direct more
RS: how did Philistines affect during Hebrews with Pharaohs. If only i had written like that
RS: how did Roman affect Hebrews in Yisrael? See how nice that is., how did neighbors affected.
Abraham for humanity, while all these neighbors influences that causes people to change the laws.
Abraham ever interacted with neighbors, how much interaction and how much influenced, or was the rejection from neighbors cause where it made it difficult for Abraham father of humanity?
RS: in article you shared In an intermarriage between a Roman and a non-Roman, a child received the citizenship status of its mother.
RS: see how neighbors influences and then look how the Mishnah had to please the Romans and change their laws., who’s a Jew?
