Catholicism CAME from Judaism! All the Messianic prophesies came from the Torah, also known to Christians as the Old Testament.
If you deny Jesus as Messiah, you also deny Catholicism.

Because that is where he was born. That was the main religion of that area, and so he became a Jewish person. It would be like someone being born in Rome in those early periods. They'd turn out Christian, most likely, because that was the main religion of that area.
And why should his heritage matter? He was a Jewish person that spoke the word of God to help protect mankind. Does it matter whether he was Jewish or not? Would it be better if he was Catholic and spoke the word of God for the same purpose? There is no difference.

Well at that time thats where he was placed. Among jewish family and thats the religion of the time. I think in the whole scheme of things God wanted to make a point. Im non denominational and all sorts of pple go to our church. catholics, baptist, methodist...whatever. We all just believe. We need to stop doing this whole religion thign and focus on Jesus who died for our sins and follow what he told us. Just like some pple say why should I believe Jesus was blonde hair and blue eyed. He could have green hair and brown eyes, I don't care as long as I have the same blood that flows through his veins Im content. So stop going y religion and go by your FAITH. Not screaming just reminding my fellow believer. lol

Why is He Jewish.... He was born and raised a Jew in the Temple with all of the Jewish Holy days etc.

His mother was Jewish. They should belive it because it's true. Christianity wasn't established until many years after Christ's death.

I Dunno. BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAID SO? They're kinda like that. Follow the book to the letter, especially when trying to decide who's the messiah...
What kind of a wierd racist question is this?
