@kennybachman35 Ummm, that would be because those are the English words, not the Hebrew words, Ibhri and Yisrael.
Old English Israel, "the Jewish people, the Hebrew nation," from Latin Israel, from Greek, from Hebrew yisra'el "he that striveth with God"
late Old English, from Old French Ebreu, from Latin Hebraeus, from Greek Hebraios, from Aramaic (Semitic) 'ebhrai, corresponding to Hebrew 'ibhri "an Israelite."

Christians don't like James. He also said that Gentiles should initially be taught the basic Noahide laws (including dietary restrictions), and that they'd learn the rest of the laws from street preachers, and in temples, at a time when there was no book of the New Testament, so what they'd be learning is Jewish laws. Generations of Jewish Christian leaders in Jerusalem stuck to Jewish laws, until Roman Catholics came and ousted them. Early Jewish Christians also didn't seem to believe Jesus was God, and some even considered Paul a false prophet. Also, where you'd expect to find the earliest versions of Gentile Christianity (places like Antioch), they leaned more towards Arianism, which also didn't believe Jesus was God. Catholics gave them the standard options of conversion, death, or exile.
Rome conquered Christianity, and transformed it into what it wanted, rather than the other way around. They started the arguments for "just" wars, as well as justifying private property ownership and wealth accumulation.
