If Jesus is/was a jew, does that mean that christians are also jews themselves?

Question

Peace!

Answer 1

Yes..Christians become adopted Jews into the tribe of Judah, which is the tribe that Jesus was born into..
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Answer 2

No because most Christian's mothers are non-Jewish and wether or not you're Jewish goes by your mom. Even though he rejected Judiasm he is still Jewish according to Jewish law he just is something called a Apikores. His followers were mostly Jews at the beggining but then Paul came along and took away most of the restrictions placed so that now many more non-jews joined as they didn't have to get a circumsition. After that the jewish percentage of Christians rapidly declined as you need a Jewish mother to be Jewish, at least according to Orthodoxy.

Answer 3

No, that does not mean anything. Christians have SOME ideas taken from Judaism, but Jews don't believe that Christ is the Messiah and Christians don't practice the same exact rituals.

Answer 4

Absolutely not.

The Jews believe in God and are still waiting for the promised
messiah, which was Jesus Christ. However Jesus did not do
all of the things that were supposed to be done so the Jews
rejected him.

Christians believe in Jesus as the son of God who came to forgive our sins so that we may have everlasting life, this is
why at the last supper Jesus took the cup (wine) and said
take this all of you and drink, this is my blood, the blood of a *new* and everlasting covenant.

The original covenant was with Abraham and the Jewish people but their rejection of Jesus made all of us heirs to the
kingdom of Heaven.

Answer 5

Christians come from a Jewish background, yes, so we believe in the same God, however, Jews don't accept that Jesus was the Messiah. So technically no.

Answer 6

No, it means that God found a way for non-Jews to receive the promises made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Answer 7

when Christs church was starting, you had to be a Jew before becoming a christian. no they are not Jews. they Christan's. followers of Christ. the heritage is from moses
Abram, Saul, David, to Christ.
the old covenant was replaced by the new coveant at the last supper.

Answer 8

in a way yes.
Romans 2:25 Circumcision is, in fact, of benefit only if you practice law; but if you are a transgressor of law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 If, therefore, an uncircumcised person keeps the righteous requirements of the Law, his uncircumcision will be counted as circumcision, will it not? 27 And the uncircumcised [person] that is such by nature will, by carrying out the Law, judge you who with its written code and circumcision are a transgressor of law. 28 For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and [his] circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God.

This passage in Romans shows that the inheritance of being Jewish changed from a literal heritage, to a spiritual one.
This means that the Jews in God eyes, were now those who are spiritually Jews because they have believed in the Son, and as such (Gentiles and those of Jewish descent) are able to be co-heirs of God's Kingdom.

Answer 9

At the very least, it means that they believe the Jewish prophecies concerning the Messiah.

Answer 10

According to Galatians, yes.
