You're just trying to pick a fight, so I don't take your question too seriously.
Jesus was a Jew.
He didn't really found a religion, his followers did.
I've come to have serious doubts about how Christianity has turned out, after studying the Bible a lot over the last 25 years.
Take a look at a red letter edition. What Jesus actually said, takes up a miniscule amount of the New Testament.
Most of the new testament (and current Christian theology) comes from Paul, who never even met Christ.
I now call it "Paulianity" because modern Christianity has much more to do with what Paul said, than Christ.
Even the Christians at the time had serious doubts about Paul's self-proclaimed authority.
It was 30 years after Christs' death that Paul had his conversion, and bases his authority of a vision he claimed to have, that none of the others witnessed.
He could have been a schizophrenic, for all we know, or a modern day TV Preacher type. Certainly, you have to give heed to what the apostles thought of him, but people today totally dismiss that.
There's no old testament prophecy about Paul, the way there was for John, for instance.
All of a sudden, this guy comes out of nowhere and basically hijacks a religion.
Think about it...
Don't forget, the Bible was assembled into one book almost 300 years after Christ, so stop looking at "the Bible" with 100% certainty that it's all God's word.
It was a bunch of guys who decided what books stayed, and which books got chucked.
Absolutely no theologians claim that process was divinely inspired.

Jesus didn't shun Judaism, He shunned the legalism and the self-righteous adherence to the Law that had taken people's focus off of God. A perfect example of this is in Matthew 23, where He is addressing the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law. But since He was the Messiah who came as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, He was not bound by the Law.

Jesus didn't favor Christianity....He is the founder. Christianity actually developed after His crucifixion through His teachings taken up by His followers. Jesus was never called a Chrisitian. He still is not a Christian. He is the Christ. A follower would be, but not He Himself.
You ask why? Read the Old Testament Messianic prophecies, especially Isaiah. It was God's will and plan to bring in the new covenant and give salvation to the entire world. Saint Augustine said, The New Testament is hidden in the Old, and the Old Testament is revealed in the New.

1. Jesus practiced Judaism faithfully while He was on earth.
2. Judaism was always intended to evolve into Christianity - read the Old Testament.
3. Since Jesus was a Semite (Jew) I don't think He would be anti-semitic.

Don't be silly. Christianity didn't exist until after Christ's death..when like so many other religions a certain group became focused on the figurehead rather than the true point and purpose of his message!

He came here to free us from religions and to teach us how to have a personal relationship whit God. He fulfilled the Bible promise.
No, Judaism was not the right way, that is why He did not ask us to be Jewish. He got baptised and taught us to spread the Gospel, the good news that God loves us.
Jesus was born among Jews because it was God's promise. He kept His promise. It was not because Jews were good.They were so wrapped up with their religion and traditions that they did not see Messiah among them. : )
God's word is the same for everyone. :)

Not at all.He loved the Jews because he prophet for jews and his mission was get in touch with all tribes of Jews as such he travelled to Afghanistan and Kashmir to meet the lost tribes of Israel.He shunned the mischief, mockery, trynny and greed of Jewish clergy living in Jerusialeum.

Jesus was born a Jew. And he complied with all the 600 odd laws they TRIED to obey, right up to the age of thirty, when he was baptised by John, his cousin.
The so called " Christianity" we see practiced today is a sad and poor example of what Jesus taught,
Jesus taught people to simply love one another,.
He said nothing about castle like cathedrals, men in red and gold robes and ANY involvement in politics...except to warn to stay away from such.
Jesus showed that impressive temples mean nothing to God, Jesus' father.
It is all about how you treat your 'neighbour'.

Jesus was against the people who lived a lie.He still loved them but He was against their phony religion.which were the Religious zealots.They new Gods Word but did not know who God was Because God was right in front of them and they didn't even know it because they were so religious they did not know what love was and Jesus himself was Jewish.Just like today there are people that know the bible backwards and forwards but they do not go to Jesus and talk to Him because they are afraid of their sins the devil has tricked them.They are religious but not spiritual.You can only worship God in spirit because God is Spirit.read John 5 v 39-40
