Think as you will but the facts remain that Jesus was Jewish. He was born Jewish, he died Jewish, his causes are linked very firmly with the morals of the Torah or 1st Testament. The Torah is really a source of inspiration for the prophets who wrote the 2nd Testament. You can see the connections in the stories. If your beliefs hinge on the New Testament, than it will seem as if the old one foreshadowed the fates of Jesus. If your beliefs hinge on the Torah than it seems that those who wrote the second book spent a long time studying the first. Jesus never had the intention of creating a whole new religion. His beliefs and his words are his own translation of the moral codes in the original book. His followers are the ones who, while under persecution, were able to give birth to the spread of ideas that became Christianity. It's really interesting if you consider it as a historical movement. Don't be so quick to assume that just because Jesus is the pivotal character in the Christian plot, that it was his own intention to be so.

Well Jesus was born Jewish because Christianity wasn't even a religion until like 30 years after Jesus was born. Jewish beliefs are the same as the old testament of the Bible. They think that Jesus hasn't come yet. So they don't believe in the new testament of the Bible. hope it helped!

Uh, probably because it says in the Bible that he was born to the House of David and David was a Hebrew (Jew)? Politically he was born in Bethlehem to parents of Nazareth which was at the time a Hebrew state.
Oh yeah, and he was crucified with the epitaph: INRI, Latin for Jesu Nazarini Rex Iudaeorum, or Jesus the Nazarene King of the Jews. Even the Romans knew he was a Jew!

Jesus was Jewish, but then again how could you be a part of a religion that was founded entirely on the basis of your own death?

Yeah. Jesus was a Jew, that's why Christians are supporting the Jews.
Where was Christianity before Jesus? It was he, who found this religion.

Jesus who?
There are a lot of Mexicans with the first name of Jesus.
To quote Mark Twain who said ,paraphrasing him here:
" If Jesus Christ where alive today the one thing he would not be is a Christian"

he was born jewish, in Judea, to jewish parents in a jewish community... He couldn't have possibly been christian as it is a bit hard for him to follow his own teaching, if u get mah drift...
