Re: "...the 12 disiples were ALL Jews..."
True.
During Christendom's early years, non-Jews first converted to Judaism before they were allowed to follow Jesus.
The Greek physician named Luke was one such person.
The earliest "Christians" were simply Jews who truly believed Jesus to be the promised Jewish Moshiach.
Only later, when the Apostle Paul (a Jew named Saul who had spent his early years hunting down apostate Jewish followers of Jesus to prosecute them as heretics) was given permission at Jerusalem by the other disciples to preach exclusively to the gentiles, did the faith actually break away from its foundations, as "Paulism" spread throughout the Roman Empire and became the predominant faith.
In fact, without Judaism, Christians and Muslims would not exist, as each claim to be the "final fulfillment" of Judaism.
*Will a forum member please identify the name "Theotokus" for my benefit? Is this a personage or an article of the Greek Orthodox faith?

MassuhDGoodName, I suppose you are Jewish! I agree with you! Everything you said is true and it is well-known among Christians! You were chosen people until the New Testament fulfilled the Old one.Now since God Himself (the second hypostasis of the Holy Trinity) came to earth and gave us the teachings which fulfilled what is previously said in the Tanach, those people who accept Him and those teachings and live according to them are actually chosen!
Lord Christ didn't want to save only Jews when He came to Earth to be crucified and to ressurect!
He talks to all of us through Bible, Saints...every human being is invited to follow Him by his or her own will! That is why I am shocked when I watch what certain "christians" did in the name of Christ and their church! :'(
Theotokos is a greek word meaning God bearer or Mother of God! Bogorodica is in Serbian! I use that word since I don't know how to say it in English and I am not sure they use that word for Dear Theotokos! :)
