When I was a kid, I was told that Jesus was Jewish, but I chose not to question it, because I knew I'd get a huge lecture on why not to question the bible.
I understand that it's written that Jesus was born into the Jewish religion. However, by him saying he is the son of God and the messiah, wouldn't that disqualify him of being a Jew? In the New Testament, Jesus admits to judge Pilate that he is the king of the Jews (Matthew 27:11). If Christianity is based upon Jesus' resurection, would that mean that when Jesus was said to have resurrected, he technically became the first Christian? All of this has always been fuzzy to me.
I honestly don't understand this part. Actually since I lost interest in my family's Catholic beliefs, I've found myself in a better position to ask these questions. I thought I'd ask on Y!A first, though.
