He is a man who was alive 2000 years ago. His mother taught him that he was the son of god because she had to tell Joseph that so he wouldn't think she was cheating on him (Which she was.). With this in mind, he lived his life as if he WAS the son of god. He pissed off the Romans and they hung him on a stick, he died, the end.
He was a man NOTHING more.

Who was Jesus? The Jews from Genesis-Malachi called him Lord. Part of the problem is that scriptural Christianity and the lives of people here in America tend to differ. At the root of it, Christianity holds that Christ is superior to man; not equal to man (man is a false god; Gen. 3). All men make mistakes; (for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23).
There is a man-made old testament of Genesis-Malachi, and the scriptural old testament; i.e. the law of Moses. (Per scripture, the old testament was done away; Hebrews). The Jews were told to have two or more witnesses (about three times Deut. 10-20), and the Christians were given the same command (Matt. 18:16, 2 Cor. 13:1). When this concept is applied, one finds the 'old testament' is the law of Moses. My 'two or more witnesses' for that assertion include Joshua (Joshua 8:31), David (2 Kings 2:3), Solomon (1 Kings 8:9), Nehemiah (Nehemiah 8:1), Daniel (Daniel 9:11-13), Malachi (Malachi 4:4)i, Jesus (Matt. 19:7-9), God the Father (Matt. 17; in effect he backs up whatever Jesus his Son says), and the apostle Paul. (The law is referred to as the old testament (KJV), many other English versions translate it as old covenant in 2 Cor. 3:13-14). The law of Moses starts in Exodus 20. Perhaps this is part of why the beast in Revelation 17 is the USA, and the harlot Babylon is the leadership of the USA. (See what happens to the beast and harlot in Revelation 18).
God apparently had me think of this text recently; Acts 18:24-28 (please read) regarding Priscilla, Aquilla, and Apollos. Apparently, Apollos was eager to grow. I hope many Christians in this country presently are in the Apollos category.
A major difference between Catholics and Protestants stems from the fact that they utilize different Bibles. Speaking personally, I was raised in a “Protestant’ congregation. However, after studying for myself, I agree on this component with the Catholic faith. (I disagree with the Catholic faith on other aspects). If you are Jewish, I will assume that you accept 1 Macabees, which chapter 4 is the scriptural foiundation for Hanakkah.
Do I need to go further on the question for you?

I didn't see your question. Besides, I like to answer question for people who seek understanding.
Jesus was "The Son of Man." God mad Man. However you want to consider it. According to the pope, he is the greatest gift that God could give. Someone who can cry with us and give us an embrace. That is my God.
You can still be a Jesus Jew all you want. The Catholic church has an amazing book call the Catchecism. It is difficult to argue against (I think its impossible to really win) and it sites sources.

Congratulations - you belong to a group called Jews for Jesus. (I have met these people and tell you what - they are wonderful to be around) I applaud you and am grateful that have you have been saved by grace. Who is Jesus to me? He is my best friend and at times my only friend. He is my Savior and my King, my deliverer and my strong tower. He is my everything. And I love him very much!!

For those that say you can't be Jewish and still be a Christian, they best read their bibles as it says we are all spiritual Jews that accept Jesus as Saviour. Jesus was a JEW, we are all spiritual JEWS that accept Him as our Lord. Can't be a Jew and be a Christian. That is like saying you can't be a cat and have four legs.

If you were Jewish and then accepted Jesus as your personal saviour, then you are no longer Jewish

An Essene rabbi who taught reincarnation, vegetarianism, healing and peace, who, decades after his death, was exploited as a cover boy for the messianic religion Paul created and sold to Greece and Rome.
