Where in the Bible did he say he was a Jew? I always thought he was always the son of God, on Earth or in Heaven.

Not only was Jesus a Jew, but he was a Rabbi. His apostles CALL him Rabbi in the Bible! The Romans called him the King of the Jews. Yes, he was the son of God, and the Jews are God's Chosen People (which it also says in the Bible). Maybe you should try READING it if you really want to know what it says.

Yes, the son of God - and a Jew as well! Why would you think the two are mutually exclusive? He was a rabbi, and believed that the basic tennets of Judaism should be taught to all - not just select people, which is what the Jewish people at the time were teaching. This is not hidden in the Bible. I suggest you read more carefully.

He came to his own and they accepted him not. Yes the jewish people are the chosen people and yes he is the king of the Jews. When comes again every knee shall bow. Men will weap and repent. The jewish people have a long history of killing God's messangers. But they had the Romans do their dirty work for them and had the Romans kill Jesus for them. So the blood would not be on their hands for it was the passover jewish remembrance of Moses following Gods instuctions by smearing the blood of the lamb on the door posts to passover their homes and be protcted by God. The first born of the egyptions were killed. Jewish people are still waiting for their Messia. But their God will be the Anti Christ and he will stand in the rebuilt temple and claim himself as God. All will worship him. He will demand it. If you refuse your head will be chopped off and required. In the end days they will cry. (Peace, peace and their will be no peace!) Watch for the rebuilding of the jewish Temple the time is at hand.

Yes. Just as afican-americans, jewish-americans, white amercians, native-americans etc... are American, Jesus was a Jew by nationality. Also he was a Jew religiously. Jesus always observed Jewish religious holidays, Sabbath, and prayed in the temples etc... Therefore he is a Jew in both senses of the word.

Yes he was a Jew and tried to show the Jews the right path when they were going astray, and they tried to kill him saying he is preaching a new religion Christianity.

He was born a Jew so he was Jewish and then he created his own religion as many people do these days! No religion is unique, they all developed over time being shaped by culture and other religions.

yes and no. In Judaism you cannot forcibly convert someone. Jesus was from an area That war forcibly converted before the Romans took over Judea. By the census of the time he was Jewish, by Jewish law he was not.

Yes, he was a jew. His mother was jewish, he followed jewish law and traditions. It doesn't say directly "Jesus was a Jew" but it does emphasize his jewish heritage through his geneology, which is repeated multiple times in the NT.

Yes Jesus was Jewish and he was the son of God and Jewish people are God's chosen people. Probably why they win all the wars and make the best bagels.
