Jesus was born a Jew but was baptized by john the baptist this is true.?

Question

my question is , did he renounce his Jewish belief, or can you be a Christian and a Jew?

Answer 1

Both John and Jesus were Jews. They were also cousins.

Johns baptism was a call to the Jews to repent from their ways, and the act of baptism was a sign that they had done that.

When Jesus was baptised he did not have to repent because he was perfect but it was an outward sign to all that he was about to start his ministry.

Jesus kept the law code as set out by Moses. He fulfilled the law by keeping it perfectly, something no other man could do. His death was the end of the law code as set out by Moses, and he instituted a new law code by his death.

Jesus was not a Christian as christian means a follower of Jesus. The first Christians were Jews. Jesus only preached to the Jews. The apostle Peter opened the way for no Jews to become Christian

Answer 2

John the Baptist was a Jew as well.

You cannot be a Jew and a Christian. All forms of modern Judaism reject the notion that Jesus was the Messiah. Christianity is based on the idea that Jesus was the Messiah. You can be a Jew who converted to Christianity and still follows all the Jewish law and customs (and this is what Jesus and Paul says Jewish converts should do), but once you believe that Jesus was the Messiah you are no longer accepted as a Jew by the Jewish community.

Answer 3

Jesus was an orthdox Jew from the West Bank.

He lived his entire life an observent Jew, and told his Jewish followers to uphold the Law of Moses.

Answer 4

Jesus was/is Jewish and upheld all Jewish customs. The Apostles were also Jewish and upheld all Jewish customs. Jesus nor the Apostles never denounced their nationalities. The Apostles were the first Christians (followers of Christ) And yes one can be Jewish and Christian. Check out the Messianic Jewish, the are Jewish in nationality, uphold Jewish beliefs and customs, but they also believe in Jesus

Answer 5

John the Baptist is an allegory of the fleshly, literal, or material interpretation of truth. Spiritual things cannot be expressed to men who are in the world, except by using words and examples of things known in the world. Spiritual things must be stated to men as parables, allegories, and metaphors, using elements of the world of matter for descriptions. Those who belong to the world of matter, those who are still "of the flesh," will interpret the spiritual messages in a fleshly manner. They cannot discern the spiritual meanings.

The fleshly interpretation, utilizing elements of the world, must come first. It is the baptism of John the Baptist, the message that prepares the way for the baptism of the Spirit. The baptism of John cannot give anyone Life; it can only point to the Way. John the Baptist was not among those of the Kingdom of Heaven; he was born of woman, born of water, born of the flesh. [Luke 7:27,28] His baptism cannot save, but merely prepares the way for the baptism that can save.

John the Baptist represents the fleshly Jerusalem; Jesus represents the spiritual Jerusalem.

Answer 6

You cannot be christian and jewish.

To be Jewish you must believe the Messiah is coming, and has not yet come. Anyone who tells you otherwise is a lying heretic who offends both Jesus and G-d. Jews for Jesus are not Jews, they are trained to spin the bible for their mission.

Jesus was a Jew and it took Christanity some time to split completly from the Jewish faith. Early, Early Christians were a sect of Judaism.

Answer 7

No. (John 3:13) as well to, no guy has ascended into heaven yet he that descended from heaven, the Son of guy. (Matthew 11:11-15)extremely I say to you human beings, between those born of girls there has no longer been raised up an more advantageous than John the Baptist; yet someone who's a lesser one contained in the dominion of the heavens is larger than he's. yet from the days of John the Baptist in the previous the dominion of the heavens is the purpose in the route of which men press, and those urgent ahead are seizing it. For all, the Prophets and the regulation, prophesied till John; and in case you favor to settle for it, He himself is ‘Eli?jah who's destined to come back.’ let him that has ears listen." in the previous Jesus there replaced into no theory of going to heaven, because of this the Pharisees and the Sadducee's rejected him. His teachings were so distinct from the Mosaic regulation. keep in recommendations Martha she knew her brother could be resurrected contained in the finest day. Jesus replaced into the first fruit into heavenly resurrection. all the Anointed died after him. yet another reason his chum Lazarus replaced into resurrected, to provide him the prospect of being with Jesus contained in the heavens. x x x

Answer 8

Jesus didnt' need to be baptized, yet he did anyways. Jesus was "Jewish" but you can't just limit yourself to just calling him a Jew. He is the Messiah that God has promised.

Answer 9

well he wasn't a Christian. he is the foundation of Christianity. he never renounced Judaism. he fulfilled it. when the Christian church first started they were not called Christians they were called 'the way,' known as a sect of Judaism. so no Jesus did not renouce his jewish beliefs, he followed the completly fulfilling everything living every law given by God perfectly.

Answer 10

Christianity is founded on the Jewish faith. A Christian who does not understand his or her Jewish roots is not a Christian, because he/she cannot fully understand the significance of the stories told about Jesus.

At no point was Jesus a 'Christian'. He was either the Son of God or he was a jewish lunatic with a good message (I lean towards the lunatic belief myself).
