Are sure you know that Jesus was a Jew?

Answer 1

yeah that kinda bothered me too.

christians tend not to like jews....so why they would admit that their savior is a jew himself is kinda puzzling.

like lal those white supremacists who talk about god...then go on to talk about how jesus is theitr best friend....but he was a jew....i dont understand it.

Answer 2

Israel had 12 sons, who became the founders of 12 tribes. One of those was Judah, from which name the word “Jew” was eventually derived.—2 Kings 16:6.
In time the term “Jew” was applied to all Israelites, not just to a descendant of Judah. (Esther 3:6; 9:20) Because the Jewish genealogical records were destroyed in 70 C.E. when the Romans razed Jerusalem, no Jew today can accurately determine from which tribe he himself is descended. Nevertheless, over the millenniums, the ancient Jewish religion has developed and changed. Today Judaism is practiced by millions of Jews in the Republic of Israel and the Diaspora (dispersion around the world). What is the basis of that religion?

Under the Law a careful record of genealogies was kept. Family integrity was even more greatly emphasized by the matter of ancestral land inheritance. Genealogies were especially important in the family line of Judah and, later on, in the lineage of Judah’s descendant David. Because of the promise that the Messiah the King would come through these families, the record of family relationship was zealously guarded
The one having the legal right, as indicated by the angel Gabriel’s announcement to the virgin Jewess Mary some 600 years later, is none other than Jesus, the Son of God. (Lu 1:31-33) It is, therefore, fitting that Jesus Christ bears the title “the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah.”—Re 5:5.

Answer 3

Yes, which makes it illogical to think that the Pharisee Jews persecuted anyone other than a Jew who outclassed them while teaching in the synagogues and other places.

Answer 4

His genealogies are in Matthew and Luke
yup 100% Jew and a descendant of King David

Answer 5

yes, I'm sure I know Jesus was a jew. And I knowI'm sure, And i know that he was.

Answer 6

yes, I am. That's what it says in God's Word. And to the person that posted that Christians tend not to like Jews: I do not see that at all. I personally love Jews and have much respect for the Jewish faith.

Answer 7

Yes. Everyone in Jesus' time was Jewish. His Hebrew name was Yeshua. Judaism was the first and only religion for many centuries, even before Jesus was born.

Answer 8

Where are you going with this question? You leave it open with no way to answer.

Jesus Christ mother was of the tribe of Judah and her father was of the tribe of Levi. Where do you get this term Jew from I might ask? Think about it pal?><>

Answer 9

Yes as mary's son he would be considered a jew no matter what the father origins

Answer 10

In Matthew Joseph’s genealogy is given, notice that it says “Jacob begat Joseph”.

Matt.1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

In Luke Mary’s genealogy is given.

Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

The words “was supposed” (nomizo) in Greek means “as reckoned by law”. Joseph was Heli’s son in law and “begat” is not used.

Mary’s Father Heli’s genealogy is of Judah or the king line.

Mary’s mothers’ name is not given but we have some clues as to her lineage.

Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

Elisabeth was of the daughters of Aaron or Levite.

Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

The word “cousin” (suggenes) in Greek means “kinswomen”.

Mary’s mother’s genealogy is of Levi or levetical priest line.

Hence Jesus Christ is our King and high priest.

Heb.5:10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

Psa.110:4 The LORD hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

Melchizedek (malkiy-tsedeq) in Hebrew means “King of Righteousness”.

Answer 11

well we know he wasnt muslim as someone jokingly said ( Islam didnt exist yet ).
But it wasnt the only religion in the area ( kittikat mentions palestine but Jesus only spent part of his time there )

Read other historians like Josephus Flavius.
There is a good amount of confirming information.
