Breaking News! Jonathan Bernis Who Tested Igbo DNA Is A Fake Jew And A Christian by Ipobdevil: 1:00pm On Aug 07, 2017 |
The international President of Jewish Voice Ministries, Rabbi Jonathan Bernis. program to test the Igbo of Nigeria for genetic links to Jews has heightened tensions between international groups representing mainstream Jews and Messianic Jews. In February, Jewish Voice Ministries International organized a test to compare genetic samples from some 100 members of the Igbo group, who claim ancestral connections to the biblical Israelites, against a DNA bank of genes collected from Jews. Shavei Israel, a high-powered Israeli organization also ramping up their own outreach to the Igbo, does not welcome the test and sees it as part of the growing threat Messianics pose to the Israeli group’s mission. “So called Messianic Jews are soul-snatchers and missionaries, who are trying to sell people a false bill of goods,” said Michael Freund, Shavei’s founder and chairman. “They try to convince some of these communities to unwittingly call themselves Jewish while at the same time believe in the Christian faith.” Freund is on his own quest to bring “lost tribe” communities into the fold of the mainstream Jewish world. He has settled thousands of Bnei Menashe, a “lost tribe” from India, in Israel and the West Bank. He sees Messianics as competition. “It’s a market place of ideas out there,” said Freund. “If the only ones in the marketplace are the so-called Messianic Jews, then they may very well succeed in deceiving many members of those communities into joining their ranks.” Jonathan Bernis, head of Jewish Voice, said the group is transparent about their beliefs and points out that most of the Igbo are practicing Christians already — even though they proclaim an Israelite ancestry. Michael Freund, whose organization Shavei Israel has focused primarily on the immigration of the Bnei Menashe from India to Israel, has recently begun outreach to the Igbo of Nigeria. Sam Kestenbaum Michael Freund, whose organization Shavei Israel has focused primarily on the immigration of the Bnei Menashe from India to Israel, has recently begun outreach to the Igbo of Nigeria. But whereas groups like Shavei teach that in order to “reconnect” to Jewish roots the Igbo must drop their worship of Jesus, Jewish Voice makes no such demand. “We would attempt to bring them back to an understanding of their Jewish heritage without compromising their faith in Jesus.” At some 30 million, the Igbo are among Nigeria’s largest ethnic groups. While the Igbo are primarily Christians, for generations they have identified as descendants of a “lost tribe of Israel,” some espousing a lineage to the tribe of Gad. In recent years, international interest in the Igbo and Igbo interest in outside groups have both seen an uptick. Since 2003, Kulanu, a New York based nonprofit that supports “isolated and emerging” Jewish groups has provided financial support and religious guidance to the Igbo, which has sometimes involved religious conversions to Judaism. Shavei Israel, a well-funded Israeli organization that encourages immigration to the Jewish state, began sending religious emissaries to Nigeria in 2015.

So una mumu don reach international arena. ![]() It's funny how Israel, always a small tribe on the Levant repeatedly conquered and often enslaved throughout history by their larger Mediterranean neighbouring civilizations suddenly have "lost tribes" everywhere, mostly from 3rd world, inferiority complex ravaged cretins who don't know their history but look to plug their knowledge gap with Jewish fantasies. 3 Likes |

WHEN THEY CAME TO COLLECT SAMPLE, THEY WERE NOT FAKE, WHEN THEY BROUGHT THE REPORT BACK BUT YET TO ANNOUNCED THEIR FINDINGS, THEY WERE STILL CONSIDERED AS SINCERE PEOPLE AND WERE EVEN PROVIDED WITH SHELTER BUT THE MOMENT THEY ANNOUNCED THEIR FINDINGS AND IT WAS NOT IN LINE WITH THE EXPECTATION OF THE IGBOS, THEY SUDDENLY TURNED FAKE IN LESS THAT 12HRS. these people will be surprised and disappointed when they realized that one Fulani man is their forefather. 1 Like |
