The Ethiopian was not from present day Ethiopia but from Sudan, Queen Candace is from Ancient Sudan not from present day Ethiopia and he was a Hebrew.
@Tenor4Christ Liar and deceiver the Ethiopian was already a Jew, how can a Gentile go to Jerusalem to worship is he was not a Jew? and how was he able to get Jewish scriptures and documents? the Ethiopian Jew was not reading from the bible. In those days only a few people and they were Jewish had access to scriptures.
@malfini1 I agree 100%. We are all tainted both physically and spiritually, but Jesus had to be 100% pure God & 100% pure man physically & spiritually in order for Him to be our perfect substitute, and through Him we become 100% pure spiritually and one day 100% pure physically.

@SCWatchman One of the things I have learned from Christs ministry is the insignificance of physical purity. The ancient Israelites were obsessive about physical purity to the point where physical impurity became for them a mark of sin. They were right to some extent, however Christ showed through his life that spiritual purity is what really matters. This is why ultimately its the spiritual seed that inherits the blessing!
@malfini1 In a sense I would agree with you and that is a point that I was trying to make, what I was trying to point out was that Jesus has a pure "FATHER" lineage through Mary, back to Adam, with NO giant/Nephilim/demon/so-called-alien DNA AT ALL. If we look at the two women mentioned in Jesus’ lineage, Rahab & Ruth, we see that they were not Israelites, but physically pure, and grafted into spiritual Israel through faith in Jesus, who was to come.
@SCWatchman There has never been a 'pure' Jewish line. If you look through the book of cronicles or examine the genealogy of Jesus that will soon become clear also Ethiopians have been part of Judaism from its inception. Moses had an Ethiopian wife and several Old testament personages were Ethiopian!

@malfini1 The 144,000 are "counted for the seed", not pure in the lineage, but in the spirit.
