sorry for that. I know that Jesus was a Jew. But, what does the Bible say about him? Was he catholic, protestant, or Jehovah's Witness.

None. I can use the Bible to support my answer because it says absolutely nothing in there about Jesus being any of those. He was a Jew, a carpenter, the Son of God, and a Savior. But he was never named as a Catholic, a Protestant, or a Jehovah's Witness. Not sure about catholicism, but protestantism didn't begin until the sixteenth century and Jehovah's witnesses didn't begin until the late 1800's, so obviously Jesus couldn't have been either of those.

Jewish, just like Jesus Christ. I want to be like Jesus. God Bless
Jesus was the Son of Adam which was the Son of God.
Jesus was the Son of David which was the King of Israel.
Jesus was the firstborn sacrifice which was the tenth.
Jesus was Son of a Levi "Mary" which he became high priest.
I am a believer, I am a Christian, I am a sinner, I am that I am by the grace of God.
Jew means you are from Judea, it is refereed to in the bible, of people from Judea "only", such as the House of Judah. The tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi.

You cannot follow two masters as true Christians.

Jesus was of the Jewish race, fullfilling the Jewish religion as the Messiah.

Revelation 1:5 ..and from Jesus Christ, "the Faithful Witness", "The firstborn from the dead," and "The Ruler of the kings of the earth."

Revelation 3:14...the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God..

Jesus was Jewish, but belonged to a specific set who had a strict code of behavior. The Bible isn't exactly be applicable to knowing about Jesus' life, since it was assembled after he died, specifically to glorify Belief in his life. Sort of like a movie made about Howard Hughes isn't necessarily going to tell you much about what he really did every day, but will focus on grand achievements or personality glitches. The places to find real facts about Jesus will be the ordinary documents which turn up about daily life at that time, such as court records, property ownership, etc.

It seems clear that Jesus was (and is) a Jehovah's Witness.

(Revelation 1:5) Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” “The firstborn from the dead,” and “The Ruler of the kings of the earth.”


Seriously, Christ assigned the congregation an important work that the other so-called "Christians" ignore:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded. . .

What did Jesus also say about those who would disregard the door-to-door preaching work?
(Luke 10:1-16) [Jesus] the Lord designated seventy others and sent them forth by twos... he began to say to them: “The harvest, indeed, is great, but the workers are few. Therefore beg the Master of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest.... “He that listens to you listens to me too. And he that disregards you disregards me too. Moreover, he that disregards me disregards also him that sent me forth.”

Jehovah's Witnesses are the able followers of Christ. No one else comes close!

Jesus came to us as a jew wearing flesh... but He supports no religion per se yet He chose the jews as His people. . .. He does require obedience as proof of agreement with Him because He is the Way and is the Truth and is the Light. He describes the difference between religions of men and what God commands in Matthew 15. There is a huge difference.
Mat 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is far from me.
Mat 15:9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men.
Mat 15:11 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

More than any other Israelite, Jesus knew that he had to be a witness of Jehovah. Why? He was a member of the nation to which Jehovah by the prophet Isaiah had said: “You are my witnesses.” (Isaiah 43:10.) In addition to that, at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River in 29 C.E., Jehovah anointed him with holy spirit. (Matthew 3:16.) Thus Jesus was empowered, as he later testified, to “proclaim the year of goodwill on the part of Jehovah.”—Isaiah 61:1, 2; Luke 4:16-19.

Jesus faithfully carried out his assignment and became Jehovah’s greatest witness ever on earth. With every right, then, the apostle John, who stood near Jesus at the time of his death, calls Jesus “the Faithful Witness.” (Revelation 1:5) And at Revelation 3:14, the glorified Jesus calls himself “the Amen” and “the faithful and true witness.”
When on trial before Roman governor Pilate, Jesus stated: “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone that is on the side of the truth listens to my voice.” (John 18:37) To what truth did Jesus bear witness? It was God’s truth, the revelation of Jehovah’s eternal purposes.—John 18:33-36.

How, though, did Jesus bear witness to this truth? The Greek verb for “bear witness to” also means “declare, confirm, testify favorably, speak well (of), approve (of).” In ancient Greek papyri, the common occurrence of another form of the verb (mar·ty·ro′) was after a signature, such as in business transactions. By his ministry, then, Jesus had to confirm God’s truth. This certainly required that he declare, or preach, that truth to others.

1 Timothy 6:13: “In the sight of God, who preserves all things alive, and of Christ Jesus, who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate."

Jesus was jewish. The whole New Testament tells you that...he founded the Catholic faith. He himself wasn't Catholic because he didn't believe in himself or worship himself. So he was not Catholic. And the protestant religions didn't form untill way after Jesus' time.

Jesus pbuh was a Jew. Jew in that century who follows the teachings of Moses, according to Muslim theology was a Muslim. Just as Moses was a Muslim, and his true followers would be.

The Gospel of John, chapter 5 verse 30 says,
John 5:30 "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

A muslim is a person who submits his will to almighty God. Jesus says in this verse, ".......I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father ......"

I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father. If you translate into Arabic it means Islam. A person who follows Islam is called as a Muslim. So according to the bible Jesus Pbuh was a Muslim.


===========================


We should consider the fact not just the word. The fact is that Jesus preached to believe in one God. Jesus worshipped one True God. Jesus prayed to God( he even fell on his face and prostrated, bible - Matthew 26:39). Jesus preached ten commandments which are found in the teachings of Islam also. Jesus prohibited pork, wine, blood, dead meat or any food on which any name besides God has been taken. Jesus prohibited adultery, fornication. Jesus practiced circumcision (bible - Luke 2:21), Jesus greeted by saying "peace be on you" (Luke 24:36) same as muslims greet i.e. Assalamoalikum means peace be on you, and last but not least, he prohibits Shirk i.e. Associating partners with God almighty (bible Mark 12:29). The teachings of Christianity was never taught by Jesus. Jesus never said that "he is God". Jesus never said that he came to die for the sins of the world. what Jesus preached,, i mentioned above..So all these teachings are part of Islam. So Jesus was a muslim.


==================


------------------------------...
Jesus spoke Aramaic. In aramaic language,

ALAAHAA - - - - God
