This is from the website http://judaism.about.com/od/beliefs/a/jesus.htm
A story about a man named Yeshu can be found in the Talmud. There is debate whether this Yeshu in the Talmud is the same Jesus who later became a Christian divinity.
According to the Talmud, Yeshu was the son of a Jewish woman named Miriam who was betrothed to a carpenter. "Betrothed" means she was legally married to him, but she was not yet living with him or having sexual relations with him. The story says that Miriam was either raped by or voluntarily slept with Pandeira, a Greek or Roman soldier. Miriam than gave birth to Yeshu, who was considered a "mamzer" (bastard), a product of an adulterous relationship. The Talmud describes Yeshu as a heretic who dabbled in sorcery and lead the people astray. Later, the Sanhedrin (the Jewish "Supreme Court") ordered Yeshu stoned to death and his dead body was hung from a tree until nightfall after his death, in accordance with the ancient Jewish punishment for heretics.
While some believe there is no connection between the Talmudic Yeshu and the Christian Jesus, others believe there is a connection. The main inconsistency between the Talmudic and Christian story is that during the time that Jesus was killed, the Romans ruled and the Sanhedrin did not have the power to impose the death penalty. Thus, some Jews believe that today's popular Christian ideas about Jesus are based on a melding of the Talmudic story of Yeshu and the historian Josephus' writing about Jesus, which included his execution by the Romans.
Jesus - The Messiah
After Jesus' death, a group of simple fishermen and artisans, called "Nazarenes" after Jesus' hometown of Nazareth, became his followers. Jesus' brother James, headed the Nazarenes in Jerusalem for approximately thirty years, until 62 C.E. when he was also executed by the Romans. The Nazarenes observed Jewish laws, and they believed that Jesus would return soon to inaugurate God's kingdom on earth. Thus, Jesus was a founder of a religious movement, or more specifically of the sect of the Nazarenes within Judaism.
The Nazarene sect, however, did not last more than four centuries. The Romans killed many Nazarenes for being observant Jews, during the Jewish revolt of 70 C.E. The faith of the remaining Nazarenes, who awaited Jesus to return and save them, was greatly tested by the Roman conquest.
With the weakening of the Jews and Nazarenes, early Christianity, led by Paul, flourished in the major cities of the Roman world - Rome, Antioch, Alexandria, Ephesus and Corinth. Christianity claimed Jesus as its founder and also as God incarnate.>
The notion of deities impregnating women who gave birth to demigods was a very popular myth before and at the time of Jesus.

...YHWH..over 7,000 times the tetragrammaton is in the Bible.
Translated Yahweh, or Jehovah in English.
Seriously, He is LOVE and Fire. 1John 4:8, Hebrews 12:28..
He would have to be fire, to create the sun.
Hebrews 10:29 Of How much more severe a punishment, do you think, will the man be counted worthy who has trampled upon the Son of God and who has esteemed as of ORDINARY value the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has outraged the spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt? ..YHWH will judge his people. It is a *fearful thing* to fall into the hands of the living God. Hands=FIRE.
Joseph was Jesus' step-father.

God is the Father of all things......but to be more precise,
God sent His spirit down to impregnate Mary with His Son Jesus Christ.
Yes I buy into it and believe it with all my heart.

two theories about it:
ONE - his father is Zacharias
TWO- Mary never told anyone from whom she got pregnant as that was an intercourse out of marriage.
