Matrilineal Descent Is Not Biblical

Every Jew that you encounter today will say that the mother must be Jewish in order for her child to be Jewish, yet there is no scriptural validation for this doctrine. Furthermore, the Biblical genealogies show that God focused on the father, not the mother.  So, why is this error of matrilineal descent held by so many Jews today? And what makes a Jew a Jew?

The idea that all descendants of Abraham are Jewish is wrong. The Bible says Abraham was the father of many nations, not just one. One of the seeds descending from him were a covenant line, but they were not always obedient to God, and they comingled with pagans. The idea that people are Jewish by matrilineal descent is not based off God's word. VF-2419.

Using both biblical and extra biblical records we can establish a hard date for the Exodus, and in doing so we can know what the people we have traditionally referred to as "Jews” were practicing, and how they were actually referred to at the time of the Exodus.  This will help us clear up any cultural confusion and homogenization surrounding these people.

The religious history of God’s people and the Promised Land is complicated.  Many peoples have occupied the land over the centuries, but God was focused on the line of Shem leading up to Christ.  Not all of God’s people were Jewish, nor were they practicing Judaism.  God promised to bless all the tribes of Israel, and He will reunite them one day.

There is a lot of ignorance in academia regarding the "Israelites," "Hebrews," and "Jews." Judaism did not exist until after the return from captivity, and God's people did not always have the same religious practices. Who is who, and who the land of Israel belongs to, is more complicated that we might think. VF-2416.
