was jesus a jew?

Question

..if so then why arent the people who follow him reading the jew holy book

Answer 1

Born of the lines of David the King... We do WE call it the Old Testament... Jim

Answer 2

Jesus was born a Jew and died a Jew. His mother was born a Jew and died a Jew. All the diciples were born Jews and died Jews. Paul created Christianity many years after the death of Jesus. Jesus was only one of many rabbis teaching one of many forms of Judaism of the time.

Christians do read a translated version of the Jewish Holy Book -- it's called the "Old Testament." Jews read the original Hebrew text from many, many translated versions. The original Hebrew is always printed side-by-side so each word, or series of words, can be discussed thoroughly. Unfortunately, the only text that interests Christians are those they claim to predict their messiah. They believe that God reneged on all his promises to the Jews.

Answer 3

Jesus was a Jew. In the Bible you will find the Old Testament and the New Testament...the Old Testament is also known as the Hebrew Bible. Christians and Messianic Jews believe that Jesus was the Messiah, Orthadox Jews believe that the Messiah is still to come.

Answer 4

Yes Jesus was a Jew, according to accepted belief, of David's line.

Why Christians don't read the Torah, which is not the Old Testament, there are quite a few differences in wording, I don't know, IMO it would be far more accurate about what happened before the New Testament.

Answer 5

Jesus was a Jew and the Jews were God's chosen people but then they rejected God's Son-The Messiah. I'm not sure what Jew Book you're talking about.

Answer 6

Is the word "Jew" you use meant to designate a nationality or a religious affiliation? Jesus was born into a Jewish family... in the land of the "Jewish" nation at the time of his birth. He was raised in the Jewish religion and when he was 30 begin to teach and preach a New Covenant message to the listeners... no matter what country or religious affiliation they shared. The years of his public ministry were added to the "Jewish's Holy Book" ... today's "Old Testament" was the Talmud of the Books of Moses. and the added New Testament is the history story of Jesus' public life and his teaching of the New Covenant.. Hope this answers your question :).

Answer 7

The LORD GOD promised Abraham that through him He would bless the whole world. Genesis 12:3. That blessing came in Jesus Christ. There is no promise of Eternal Life in the Old Covenant, consisting of the Ten commandments and the Regulations. In the New Covenant which Jesus Christ established with His blood, there is promise of forgiveness of sins and Eternal Life. Matthew 26:26-28; Hebrews 8:8-12. Verse thirteen says; "By calling the covenant "new", he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and ageing will soon disappear."

Answer 8

The holy book of the jews is the old testament or (torah), Christ was the break between that and the new testament. Therefore I think he would answer if he was asked the question, What is it you say I am? With his wisdom humility and passion, I think he just enjoyed living and not worry so much about labels.

Answer 9

Yes, He came into the world as a Jew and died as a Jew. He is recognised by Liberal Jews and Messianic Jews and even by Islamic people.

I am Judeau-Christian and my ancestor can be found in Luke24:18, although Greek, he was a Jew and later after the resurrection one of the first Judeau-Christians after the apostles.

Answer 10

Yes, Jesus was a Jew. He was born and raised a Jew. His coming is told all through the old testament..

Answer 11

"reading the Jew holy book" Hmmmmmm. You might want to say "Jewish". Now, yes Jesus was a Jew, but most of his followers now are gentiles, or non-Jews. Are you talking about the Talmud as the "Jewish book"? Well, the problem is that the Talmud rejects Christ as Savior, Messiah, and God, so the Christians don't read it or believe it.
