I know Jesus is Jewish, however I have come across many people who do not believe so. I just wanted to see what the general response would be in the general public
2006-10-13 06:14:39 · update #1
Jesus, whose name was actually Yeshua Ben Josiah (Jesus was a Greek name), was descended from the House of David and in line to be King of the Hebrews. That's what annointed means. Back then they annointed the heirs to the throne with oil of Spikenard and that's what his Wife, Mary of Bethany, did for him.
Yeshua was a member of the Essene Sect (Dead Sea Scrolls People) and spent quite a bit of time at Qumran. He was an Orthodox Hebrew (from Hibaru, the people who followed Moses, also known as Akenaten, out of Egypt). Back in his time, to be a Jew meant that you were of the Tribe of Judah. Yeshua was a Levite (Of the Tribe of Levi, and I don't mean the dungaree manufacturer) so he wasn't a Jew per se, but a Hebrew.
It's in the book. Look it up.

Great question!
Why did Jesus go to Synagogue if he wasn't a Jew?
What is a soul? I know what a sole is.
"the" Bible? No such thing. Many Bibles, all different.
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.
P.S.

By definition of his birth and his upbringing, Jesus was Jewish.

How could you possibly doubt it? It's in the Bible as such. What else would He have been? If He wasn't Jewish, none of the rest of the story makes much sense.
