No.
Christians are believers in Jesus, independent of their ethnic heritage.

Good question; in the spiritual sense yes. Read Galatians 3. Really there is no difference because Jesus abolished the law the separated the Jews and the Gentiles, by dying for sin. See, Ephesians 2: 11-22. for clarification on this last point.

No. Being Jewish is a heritage. Although you can convert to Judism, a gentile (a person born to non Jewish parents) will not be a "Jewish" person.
There are Jewish people who believe that Christ is their Messiah. They do not give up being "Jews" because of that belief. They are known as "completed" or "Messianic" Jews.

Jesus was neither Jew nor Gentile.
He was born in a supernatural way and His Blood
was a special Blood.
Although He was raised in a Jewish culture and went to the Jewish Synagogue, Jesus was not born a "Jew"
because He and His "Father" was God Himself.
And God has no "Father" and Jesus has no "Grandfather" Both Jesus and God were One.

Christian just denotes the belief in Jesus Christ, hence CHRISTians, Jews don't believe in Jesus, so no Christians are not Jews.

no,
because to be Jewish is to be part of the Nation of Israel
and to do that a person must either be born into it or convert and accept all the Laws of the Torah.
since Christians do not follow the laws of the Torah being Christian cannot be counted as being Jewish

Yes he was Jewish and yes the Last Supper was a Seder but a very large percentage of anti-semetism has come down through the ages by the very people you say are Jews.

The earliest Christians were Jews. It's about how you relate to God's law or Christ.

Of course not. Many of the original Christians were Jewish converts, but Christian doctrine explicitly states that non-Jews can be Christians.

Just a little FYI: my friend is very involved in geneology. She did a check on my maiden name which is D'Agostino. She says that any and every italian with a sirname that is that of a Roman emporer is a Jew. In those days, the Jews took the sirnames of the current Roman emporer to avoid persecution. As you know, Italy is a predominantely Catholic country. If my friend is correct, then your question holds water.

No, because Christians do not live by Jewish doctrine. They created their own, separate religion, with its own separate tenets. Judaism goes by the Old Testament, among other things, Christianity is mostly the New Testament, among other things.
