Bob’s statements regarding jews are contested; not universally accepted:
“They are God’s chosen people.”
“Jesus was born as a jew, the son of earthly parents who were devout jews.”
“The house of Judah and so forth, line of Judah, you know, twelve tribes of israel. [are jews]”
Christian identity considers these doctrinal positions to be errors, based on history and correctly translated scripture.
It was Bob’s error to present the above quoted claims as universally accepted by Christians.
The confusion and contradiction he points-out is resolved by study of history and scripture.
