who is Jewish correct? Do you think this is wrong? I'm sure he was a smart fellow and had a lot of good things to say, but he can't be my savior, I don't want him to be, because he's not my blood.???

If you want to be my Messiah, why have you chosen a form?

What race are you refering to? The boston marathon is my favorite, but I can't for the life of me see what that has to do with religion?

Well, I hate to break it to you, but what you are stating is indeed racist! And, if you are a Christian (are you?) and believe that you came from Adam and Eve, then why is race even an issue?
Unfortunately, you have blood in you that you, given your beliefs, may find unsettling. I don't know what race you claim to be, but I guarantee you your "blood" is not purely from one race! And even if it were somehow, it is still racist to state what you did.
Do you believe then that every race should have their own messiah that matches their skin color? What sense does that make? And, just to let you know, the genetic difference between ANY two human beings, regardless of sex or race, is less than one-tenth of one percent! Too bad that fact never gets talked about in discussions involving race. But the scientific fact is there, we simply are much more similar than we are different, even our DNA proves this! So, please, get over race and racial issues.

There is only one Messiah and HE is GOD in the flesh. You cannot pick which Messiah you want nor can you dictate the "color" of his skin. GOD is GOD and JESUS is HIS SON and if you are to have a savior at all it will be Jesus(Yeshua) or else you will not have one at all. This is not a crap shoot. You are the one being saved(hopefully) not the one doing the saving. If you reject Christ He will reject you before HIS Father, GOD. It's your choice to be saved or not saved not the perceived race of your savior.

Whether or not you are a racist, is of no importance.
You are not required to accept any part of religion. It's one of the nice things about being in the West. Freedom of, and Freedom From religion.
If, and when you do find something spiritual, it will not make one whit of difference who, what, when, where, or how that person, persons, talking fish, messianic penguin or impersonal glowing orb makes the impression. You will know, it will be right, and you will be happy.
Just do us all a favor and don't go running around telling us all about it, soliciting money, singing on streetcorners, demanding that we join you, read your book and bow to whom/whatever it is, and generally being a pest!
Best wishes!

The Jews belive that Jesus was a person, a carpenter, and a rabbi, but he was not the messiah. The Jewish messiah has not come, if thats what you believe. Personally, I was born Jewish but follow paganism.

Dude I hate to burst your bubble but jesus was not white.... Think about where he lived and preached.... He was of dark skin that of egyptian..... He lived, worked, and taught in and around those areas that were hot, dry and of a desert climate.....
Because Jesus was a Jew he would probably not have had long flowing hair, but hair more like the jews of today... He would have been of shorter statue and would have the build of a construction worker.... His hands would have been worn and his skin dark and leathery......
There where not people of light skin during his time in the area in which he lived....

Um - there's only one race - the HUMAN race. That means we're ALL of each other's "blood" as you say.

Well, if you examine it from the DNA perspective, he was half-Jewish.
But, yeah, it's wrong ~ your argument ends up being with G-d and his method, not Jesus.
