>>21069076Many words were translated into Jew, including Judahite, Judean, Edomite, Ioudaios, Idumaen, and all nuance is lost when these words are all translated into jew because each word has a different meaning entirely.
The ACTUAL (most used) word used in the Bible for "Jew" is Ioudaios (Judeans) or Ioudaiosmos (Judism)
ALL are translated since 1850ish as Jew. The translations today are incorrect 100%
Ioudaiosmos is actually translated as having a root of "to IMITATE a Judean (which should be Judahite)" (citizen of the Kingdom of Judah).

Judea was formed in 35BC by Anitpater the Edomite and his son Heord after they killed the last Judahite King and all the priests and Sanhedrin.
They were imitating the Judahites (Isrealites of the Tribe of Judah) that had lived in the former Kingdon of Judah prior to 35BC..

That's why Jesus said to them that they are not of the house of Israel and they are those who calls themselves Judean but are not and instead are the synagogue of Satan.
