Rant Christians have free will, while non-Christians do not.

This is all correct, yet I don't then see the issue that you brought up regarding this, of "Jewish masters." By being a reformer of the ancient Judaic faith, Jesus freed His followers from the Jewish masters that once controlled them with such institutions as the corrupted Sanhedrin. This is why Christians and Jews still differ in belief regarding God's Covenant, as the Christianity that "reformed" out of Judaism has no further binding to the Jewish people, having universalized the Covenant to be fit for both Jew and Gentile.

I was mostly baiting when I wrote the first post. (but I have noticed that christians are much more likely to support israel because “they need to defend themselves” instead of arguing that it’s good for us. I am frustrated that almost all mainstream so called “nationalists” (who also happen to be christian) in europe are arguing from the perspective of what’s good for a foreign country with a completely different culture than us.)
After that I was genuinely curious why you didn’t consider jesus a jew. I do also agree with you that christianity has little to do with judaism today other than its heritage.

This is a primarily Protestant idea that isn't actually compliant with scripture or the history of Christianity (I would know since I come from a Protestant family with very heavy beliefs regarding the State of Israel still being aligned with God's Covenant, which is not a truthful belief). It's an idea that only really "kicked off" around two-hundred years ago, as one of several Protestant doctrinal degenerations among the likes of reverting the significance of Sunday back to Saturday (Seventh-Day Adventism) or, well, all of Mormonism. It's why the modern Zionist movement has such a hefty backing from American Evangelicals, as they've fallen for this deceitful narrative.
The only true "Israel" in Christianity is seen as the Church itself, which, being the body of believers following Christ's death and resurrection, is believed to have superseded the body of Israelites who were previously being guided before the Covenant was, as I mentioned earlier, then expanded through Christ's life and ministry to both believing Gentiles and Jews, regardless of blood origin and only through the belief of the soul.

Of course. I thank you for showing that genuine curiosity. The reason I'll often push back on such a comment that's as general as "Jesus was a Jew" is because of how unique He is as being God and the final Messiah. By His ethnic blood and cultural background, He was no less of an ancient Jew than the crowd who put Him on trial, but in all other aspects, from His religion contrary to Jewish belief to the fact that He is a divine, human incarnation of the Godhead, He's quite different from what one would imagine in their head if they think "ah, a Jew!" Furthermore, it's a rather annoying comment when it comes from people who are ironically on the opposite perspective than your bait in regard to Jews, as they'll use that sort of statement to guilt people into supporting the crimes of modern Jewry or into adopting the "Christian Zionist" heresy.

He's a half-breed between an Oriental and a White who adheres to a strange (in my opinion), radically-Calvinistic Seventh-Day Adventism. He's currently on break from the internet. He also practices carpentry.

Well, some bullet points from what I've gathered of James' positions. I don't know if my terminology was greatly accurate, since it's all more particular than what I described:
>Only Christians are capable of ever telling the truth.
>Non-Christians are entirely incapable of good works.
>In one specific question regarding this concept, he proclaimed that a truly Christian child would never consent to sexual relations when being groomed by a pedophile, while only non-Christian children would.
>Slavery is justified. Particularly, non-Christians can be owned for life while Christians may only be owned for up to six years.
>Resurrection Sunday, also known as Easter, is entirely pagan, and there is no reason to celebrate it because church attendance already qualifies as celebrating it every Sunday.
>A "Theonomy" with "the Trinity as the head of state" is the ideal form of government.
>James identifies not as a "Protestant," but as a "Nazarene." He heavily emphasizes in many of his posts the utter connection that his beliefs have to the original ministry of "Yahushua of Nazareth."
>I believe this also implies that he sees the Seventh-Day Adventist church as the true continuation of the original Church established by Christ.
