No, Zayton, this is the grand jewish LIE.
Israelites and jews were separate RACES then, just as they are today, around
the world, everywhere you go. The "jews" in Israel brag about how jews have
lived in many other countries but never inter-bred with other races. The
children of Israelites who marry jews to this DAY are not Israelites. The
only children of jews who marry non-jews [read: Israelites] who aren't
considered to be jews are those whose mother isn't a jew.
The Holy Bible makes a big deal about the differences between Israelites and
jews, so if you've ever read it, you obviously didn't understand it.
There's no other races on the planet which are more different than
Israelites and jews.

ps--your entire post is in error because of this misunderstanding, so a
point by point rebuttal would take days, but the one point you need to
understand is that Paul only "became *as* a jew" by converting to the
"traditions of the elders" which was practiced by the Pharisees. He studied
under the Pharisee Gamaliel, but as soon as he recognized the depravity of
"Judaism", he rejected it. He was born as an Israelite and a Roman citizen,
which no jew could ever do. There is only one jew we're aware of who ever
received Roman citizenship, but Paul was *born* as a Roman, and we know that
he was an Israelite of the Tribe of Benjamin, and this tribe always put away
the children of any Israelites who ever married jews.
