Now of course he is in heaven and I know he created my religion (christianity), so is he still a Jew or he's a Christian?

Once we are in heaven as Jesus is there are no more races, religions, marriages, etc:
Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
Jesus is the Jewish messiah as well as everyones Savior but the Bible says he is the first of a new creation:
Acts 26:23 That Christ should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should shew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles.
So with all of this I would say that he was Jewish but now he is seated at the right hand of the Father in Heaven where there is no race or religion and is simply a new creation.

He is an angel. Jesus is not human now thus not a jew as jews are a race of humans. Jesus was born as God promised Abraham that the begotton Son will be born through his genetic line.
Jesus fulfilled prophesy and did away with Judaism. We know that Judaism is finished because Jesus got the disciples to preach to the gentiles.
And no Jesus was not God and Jesus never pretended to be. That falsehood originated with the Roman Catholic Church not from the bible. Jesus warned that apostasy would set in after he finished his mission on earth in Matthew.
Matthew 13:24 - 26
“The kingdom of the heavens has become like a man that sowed seed of a right kind in his field. While men were sleeping his enemy came and oversowed weeds in among the wheat and left. When the blade sprouted and produced fruit, then the weeds appeared also."

Jesus was born a Jew if you wish to consider his racial origin as a natural man. This is a fact and it cannot be changed. When considered from the viewpoint of spiritual rebirth Jesus is the firstborn among many brethen (Rom 8:29) Adam was a living soul and Jesus the second Adam is a life-giving spirit (1 Cor 15:45) As a life-giving spirit or a spiritual man there is neither Jew or Gentile,neither slave nor free, neither male nor female; for all are one in Christ (Gal 3:28). Jesus and Christians, as new creation beings (ie life-giving spirits) have no racial origin.

No. He was born a Jew to fulfill Bible prophecy.
By the way, Jesus did not create Christian belief. He was really his Father's messenger. See John 12:49, 50.

Jesus's words have been followed by so many people, thus the people who believed and followed Jesus's words are called Christians. He was a Jew, but because Jesus believed firmly in his own words he can be considered a Christian.

If Jesus existed (and I'm not convinced that he did), he was Jew.
As far as we know based on surviving historical sources, Paul was more responsible for the creation of the christian church.

Jesus is just dead, if he ever existed in the first place. He doesn't have any religious belief, because he no longer exists. And Jesus didn't create Christianity. Paul / Caul who wrote about it long after Jesus died, really started it after having his "religious experience". Decades after Jesus died, the gospels were written which added many other story elements to the legend.
Nothing is really known about the real Jesus, including if he really existed.

Jesus Christ is a prophet, but he is not the son of god any more then you and I are. So he isn't a jew or a christian, he is an arabic.
