Anwar, thanks for sharing those links. It’s certainly true that Jesus, for a time, lived in Egypt as a child (Matthew 2:13-15). However, the author of the book you referenced admits, “the resting places where they stayed, are not recorded” (p. 89-90). Jesus and His earthly parents stayed somewhere while in Egypt, but it was only a “temporary sojourn” (p. 90). After Herod died, the family left Egypt and moved to Nazareth (Matthew 2:19-23).

Mr. Andy Sochor thanks for your time, before my father died he said that a man who you can talk to, who takes time to listen and respond with time from his life is a good man.

Anwar, you are correct that God is not “racist.” He is impartial and wants all to be saved (Acts 10:34-35; 2 Peter 3:9). But this does not mean the Jews were not God’s chosen people. They were (Deuteronomy 7:6-8). But the promise to Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, included a blessing to all people – “…in you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Genesis 12:3). Even in choosing Abraham and his descendants, God was still concerned about all men.

As far as the claim that Jesus grew up at the temple of Onias in Egypt, do you have any credible sources that can verify that? The Bible says that Jesus grew up in Nazareth (Matthew 2:23; Luke 4:16; John 1:45). I believe that to be the truth. I’ve never heard of this “temple of Onias” claim before.

Jesus was crusified because the jews could not get him to teach or say that they were gods chosen peoople. Jesus knew such a statement or teaching would make god a racist which god is not, god is impartial.
Farthermore Jesus(Yashau) grew up at the temple of Onias in egypt Africa whithin site of the pyramids. Pilate knew the real reason why jesus was being put up for crusifixion. Your article is fine but, no need for your reason to why we are all god chosen people. God have no such people nor never had.
