the torah does not mention of a jesus coming to save the people.

Answer 1

jesus was jewish, his severed foreskin is part of what was used to give jennifer anniston her nose.

Answer 2

Look at the Genealogical accounts in Matthew 1:1-16 and Luke 3:23-38. The first is through the line of Joseph and the second through Mary. So either way you slice it he was a Jew. (If memory serves me correctly a babe can be a Jew if only the Mother is a Jew)

If you do not believe the Bible look to this. "A Thorough Review of the Testimonium Flavianum"
By Christopher Price

The most important extra-biblical references to Jesus are found in the writings of Josephus. Although some have questioned the authenticity of the passages, modern scholarship has rightly recognized that one of them is completely authentic and the other, though embellished by Christian scribes, provides an authentic core of material confirming much about Jesus. This article thoroughly examines the authenticity of the disputed reference to Jesus, the Testimonium Flavianum referred to hereafter as the "TF".

Two References to Jesus

Josephus' writings cover a number of figures familiar to Bible readers. He discusses John the Baptist, James the brother of Jesus, Pontius Pilate, the Sadducees, the Sanhedrin, the High Priests, and the Pharisees. As for Jesus, there are two references to him in Antiquities. I will recount them in the order in which they appear.

First, in a section in Book 18 dealing with various actions of Pilate, the extant texts refer to Jesus and his ministry. This passage is known as the Testimonium Flavianum referred to hereafter as the "TF".

Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was the Christ, and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men among us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians so named from him is not extinct at this day.

Jewish Antiquities 18.3.3

Second, in Book 20 there is what could be called a passing reference to Jesus in a paragraph describing the murder of Jesus' brother, James, at the hands of Ananus, the High Priest.

But the younger Ananus who, as we said, received the high priesthood, was of a bold disposition and exceptionally daring; he followed the party of the Sadducees, who are severe in judgment above all the Jews, as we have already shown. As therefore Ananus was of such a disposition, he thought he had now a good opportunity, as Festus was now dead, and Albinus was still on the road; so he assembled a council of judges, and brought before it the brother of Jesus the so-called Christ, whose name was James, together with some others, and having accused them as lawbreakers, he delivered them over to be stoned.

Jewish Antiquities 20.9.1

Other than these I am not sure where you would look to find your answers. The Torah is the first five Bookes we call the Pentateuch but there are Messianic Prophecies in Psalms and Isaiah. Even the Jews will tell you they awaited or await the coming of the Messiah, so that argument wont fly.

Answer 3

ST. LUKE'S GENEALOGY OF CHRIST

The genealogy in Luke 3:23-28 ascends from Joseph to Adam or rather to God; this is the first striking difference between the genealogies as presented in the First and Third Gospel. Another difference is found in their collocation: St. Matthew places his list at the beginning of his Gospel; St. Luke, at the beginning of the public life of Christ. The artificial character of St. Luke's genealogy may be seen in the following table:

Mary's Davidic ancestry

St. Luke (2:4) says that St. Joseph went from Nazareth to Bethlehem to be enrolled, "because he was of the house and family of David". As if to exclude all doubt concerning the Davidic descent of Mary, the Evangelist (1:32, 69) states that the child born of Mary without the intervention of man shall be given "the throne of David His father", and that the Lord God has "raised up a horn of salvation to us in the house of David his servant". [21] St. Paul too testifies that Jesus Christ "was made to him [God] of the seed of David, according to the flesh" (Romans 1:3). If Mary were not of Davidic descent, her Son conceived by the Holy Ghost could not be said to be "of the seed of David". Hence commentators tell us that in the text "in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God. . .to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David" (Luke 1:26-27); the last clause "of the house of David" does not refer to Joseph, but to the virgin who is the principal person in the narrative; thus we have a direct inspired testimony to Mary's Davidic descent. [22]


Jesus is the truth, the way and the life!

"Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One"

(Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad)

Answer 4

Jesus is a real, historical person, born in the Land of Israel, during the Roman occupation, in approximately the year 3 BCE. However, at the time His name was actually pronounced, "Yeshua," and that is the name used in this article.
That Yeshua was born Jewish is one of the least contested truths of the Bible. The very first verse of the New Covenant reads: The book of the genealogy of Messiah Yeshua ("Jesus Christ"), the son of David, the son of Abraham (Matt. 1:1). Who were Abraham and David?
Abraham was the first Hebrew. God changed his name from Abram (Gen. 17:5). In Gen. 14:13 he is called Abram the Hebrew. So we can see that Yeshua (Jesus) is descended from "Abram the Hebrew." Even to this day, Jews are also called "Hebrews", and the language of the Jews is "Hebrew."

Answer 5

Mary was of the line of Judah,through David and David's son Nathan.Joseph was of the same line but through Solomon,David's son who suceeded him.
You can't get more Jewish than that.
In the Torah ,it would take 6 pages to name all the prophecies .It doesn't say his name only that he is Messiah ben David,that he will be born in Bethlehem,to a virgin,from the line of Judah,that he will suffer,die and raise in 3 days.David wrote about the crucifixtion 1000 years before it happened,read Psalm 22 and see it through the one hanging on the cross(crucifixtion was a Roman execution).Just for example.also Isaiah end of 52 and all of 53.

Answer 6

The Torah mentions the Messiah coming. Jesus Christ is the Messiah.

Answer 7

There are several historical accounts of the life of Jesus. They include such details as the genealogy of both his father and mother, who were Jewish and his circumcision a temple in Jerusalem when he was eight days old.

Even the information recorded about him by Pharisees in the Talmud shortly after 70AD state that Jesus was a Jewish false teacher. Same with Josephus.

There is not a single ancient document or tradition that teaches that Jesus was NOT a Jew.

Answer 8

His genealogy is in the beginning of the book of Matthew. That's proof of his being Jewish.

The prophecies of his coming to save the people are in Genesis (seed of the woman) through Isaiah and beyond. It's all about Christ.

Answer 9

Of course it does and everything in the New Testament shows that He was Jewish. Only white supremists think Jesus wasn't a Jew.

Answer 10

His genealogy tracing Him back to Abraham through the line of David is the first thing listed in the New Testament.
Incidentally, if Messiah were to appear today, it would be impossible to trace His genealogy, as the genealogical records were largely destroyed when Jerusalem was razed by Titus in 70 A.D.

Answer 11

Okay, let me kick off by saying I am an atheist and do not attach any spiritual significance to Joshua bar Joseph!
But I find the question extraordinary! If you accept that he existed at all, what could he be but a Jew? Mathew and Luke give extensive genealogies trying to trace his ancestry back to David and Abraham. Okay, so they trace it via Joseph, who according to other bits of the NT was not his dad at all, and the two genealogies have nothing in common at all, but hey, that's holy scripture for you!
