Jill Sobule - Jesus Was A Dreidel Spinner

[jimbilbrey54]

Shalom! That is a cool song. Thanks so much.

Hello Jill,

I just wanted to thank you for your song. As a well-informed Christian, I was taught that Jesus was Jewish. However, it astounds me how many Christians don't seem to know this simple fact. They are equally surprised to hear that Jesus came not to replace Judaism, but to fulfill it. To truly understand Christianity, one must also understand Judaism.

Shalom, Todd

im guessing shes jewish? lol

melonbar-monster, your intolerant and hateful language does not reflect the spirit of jesus. you are so hung up on being right and vindicated that you're missing the message of love and kindness.

such a non sequitur that you consider yourself such a biblical scholar, but have not absorbed the inherent ideals.

may you find peace!

[melonbarmonster]

@randygaia Unfortunately, belief systems of different sects and denominations is a matter of record and fact and not of opinion or personal insults.

[Shipuh]

But you were the one who wrote that no one claimed he wasn't Jewish -- to my retort, I have met several people who have claimed he wasn't. I grew up Christian and my family taught me when I was young Jesus was Jewish. Regardless, there are still people who don't believe this.

Instead of continuing this crazy argument over for months, why not be more specific next time and say no organized Christian church claims this, rather than say that no one (person) claims this? Hmm?? People do claim this.

@Shipuh You need to learn how to distinguish matters of fact from your personal anecdotes. The former is objective and latter is subjective.

[Shipuh]

I'm sick of trying to meet you halfway in any kind of civil manner. -- You're a fucking ass who has nothing better to do with his time than to provoke people on YouTube. Fuck off. Happy Hanukkah.

[melonbarmonster]

@Shipuh I think we know who's reached their limits of their brain power here. LOL. Cursing angrily on youtube, FTW! LOLOL.

[QuillerBarracuda]

but he never kissed a girl

[melonbarmonster]

The arrogance of the song is extremely offputting. No one claims Jesus wasn't a Jew as a matter of fact.

[tcaf90]

No offense, but you obviously don't know Jill Sobule very well. She's known for her ironic and sarcastic sense of humor. She always makes fun or other people's arrogance.

[melonbarmonster]

That's pisspoor sarcasm and it's barely humor. She's not making fun of other peoples' arrogance. She's flaunting her own.

[Shipuh]

As an ex-Christian, I've met lots of people who claimed that Jesus wasn't a Jew.

[melonbarmonster]

I doubt that you were ever Christian and te credibility of your personal anecdote pales in comparison to what's officially taught in secular and Christian seminaries and universities around the world which is that Jesus was a Jew.

[melonbarmonster]

Well seeing as how you're still ignorantly quoting bible verses as if that lends you credibility against arguments no one's made, I can get a pretty good understanding of the type of Billy Bob retard 'christian' you must have been. I don't know you and I don't care to know you but from the limited exposure I've had to your stupidity it is my own personal opinion that you were never a christian.

[melonbarmonster]

Oh and here's the REAL KICKER.... your anecdote does NOTHING to change the PLAIN COLD HARD FACT that no denomination Catholic, Protestant and NO secular academic religious studies departments and seminaries teach or claim that Jesus wasn't a Jew. From what you've written it's obvious that ill educated people like youself may hold aberrant beliefs but that hardly counts for the majority.

[melonbarmonster]

But of course logical analysis and connecting dots to support reasoned statements is obviously beyond you....LOL.

[melonbarmonster]

There you go. You just proved how ignorant your church was and how ignorant you are by continuing to believe in ignorance. If you don't believe me that all denominations including all variations of baptists, catholics and even secular theologians acknowledge and teach that Jesus was a Jew go look it up on wikipedia. I'm glad you claim you're not a christian. It's obvious whatever ignorant bubble distortion of christianity you grew up in was a piss poor version of the real thing.

[melonbarmonster]

I love chankah music stupid. I grew up in NYC and live in NYC. I know more about Judaism than you could possibly imagine. Don't make me laugh.

[Broadway3]

your lord was a Jew!! aaahahahahahahahhahahahahaa! sooo funny and true

[KiraWei1]

~Cool!

[woodenthomas]

He was also a ladle spooner

[jason4866]

I love this song. There was a great shorter version that she had that was used by one of the online free card companies. It had a complete visual element that was really good.

[catgivens]

ha, Jill Sobule is sooooo cool.

[Robin0377]

Oh, I love this song. It´s one of my favorite X-Mas Tunes ever!!!
