Why do some people claim that Jesus was jew when he isn't?

Question

okay so his mother happened to be a Jew. It doesn't mean he have the genetics of a Jew. God with his awesome power made her pregnant, without a sperm. Jesus just grew inside her. He isn't Jew. He just took the form to look like a Jew. So technically he isn't a Jew. So all of you are wrong. I win.

no because I don't think God didn't her eggs or anything. He just took the form of a human looking Jewish boy. Just like he took the form of other different looking people after he rose again, duh.

i'm sure he didn't need any of her eggs or her food. he still would have survived.

Don't bash me people. I was just curious. Because God isn't of any race. I don't think Jesus is really a jewish person. He was only raised a Jew.

Answer 1

Ron Wyatt claims to have excavated through where the cross was, then to the ark in a cave under it. Jesus' blood leaked through a crevice and a sample of His blood taken from the mercy seat showed female chromosomes, but no male chromosomes.

That info, as unbelievable as it is, is posted at http://anchorstone.com

Take it for what it's worth, there is enough fulfilled prophecies in the Bible to prove God's existence, who needs a blood sample. God gives one more chance to receive the truth. It says "the wicked will not understand, but the wise shall": http://abiblecode.tripod.com

Answer 2

Jewish isn't a genetic trait. Most people in the world who claim to be jewish have eastern european ancestry. Not middle eastern. The idea of Jews as a people, like the Chinese are a people is wrong. Jews share a common religious and cultural background but as far as genetics go, most truly Jewish traits have been almost totally diluted away due to the ROman diaspora in 79AD. Christ was raised as a jew by Joseph and claimed to bethe king of the Jews. He wouldn't have done that if he wasn't jewish. And you are assuming that the immaculate conception actually happened. In ancient times a man was often said to have come from a virgin birth if they were supposed to be important. I'm sure the same is true for Jesus of Nazareth. I don't believe in Peter Pan, Frankensten, or suprerman either.

Answer 3

According to rabbinical Judaism, a Jew is one who has a Jewish mother, or one who has formally converted to Judaism. Leviticus 24:10 is often cited to give this belief credibility, although the Torah makes no specific claim for this tradition. Some rabbis say that it has nothing to do with what that individual actually believes. These rabbis tell us that a Jew does not need to be a follower of Jewish laws and customs to be considered Jewish. In fact, a Jew can have no belief in God at all and still be Jewish based on the above rabbinical interpretation.

Answer 4

The Jewish people are God's chosen people. Jesus was a Jewish man. God used the sperm of the Holy Ghost that fertilized her egg, just as a mortal man's sperm fertilizes a woman's eggs since the beginning of time. The difference was it was done by divine conception and she still remained a virgin because she was not physically penetrated.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Jesus is the Word of God come to us in the flesh. This flesh was made from the blood and eggs of His mother Mary, and the sperm of the Holy Ghost.
It is a miracle of birth in it's highest's form.

When we accept Jesus as our personal Savior, we are gentiles adopted into the family of God by our Faith. You are totally wrong. A true Christian would not even question such a thing as this.

Answer 5

Wow! He was born of a Jewish mother,dedicated and circumcised as a Jew,raised as a Jew.Argued with the Rabbis in the Temple as a Jew.He would never have been permitted in as a Gentile.He taught as an Orthodox Jew was called "teacher",Rabbi and Rabboni(the highest compliment for a Jewish teacher) ,by his followers and by Jewish teachers themselves (Nicodemus).He taught the Jewish Law as it was supposed to be when He ,Himself,handed it down to Moses,as the pre-incarnate I AM.The only time He argued it was when the Jews took man's interpretations over the true meaning("You've heard it said,but truly I tell you..")That meant that they had heard it said by some interpreter of the law,some man putting his own spin on it.
Don't be racist and worry about whether he is a Jew or not.He was God in human flesh.He blesses those who bless the Jews and curses those who curse them.(Gen.12 :1-3 )

Answer 6

By tradition, a person can be considered a Jew if the his/her mother is Jewish or convert according to Jewish Law. Since Jesus's mother was Jewish, he will considered as a Jew.

Answer 7

When you claim "you win", then you are begging to be bashed.
First of all the God that "impregnated" Mary was the God of the Jews, and Mary was Jewish as well. Children born of Jewish women are considered to be Jewish. But again, let us not forget that Jesus' "father" was the God of the Jews so wouldn't that make him Jewish as well?

Answer 8

Yeap, you win.. Thats why the Bible traces His genealogy to David the King.. Are you telling me that David wasn't a Jew either? Whats wrong with being a Jew anyway? His flesh was 100% human a genetic attribute He picked up from His mother. But He was also 100% Devinne a attribute He had long before the worlds were created... Jim

Answer 9

Well, the issue you're really grappling with here is the extent to which Jesus was FULLY HUMAN and Fully Divine.
You are right to say that the Divinity of Jesus was not Jewish. But the humanness of Jesus was. Hence the mystery of the Christian faith: fully divine God, outside of human identity politics entered fully into humanity, into human history, into human identity politics (specifically, Jewishness). Mary was a Jew, therefore, as God-Man, Jesus was a Jew. (see previous responses on the reality of matrilineal Jewishness)

You clearly believe in the incarnation (as is obvious in your rendition of the immaculate conception) but may just need a primer in its implications.

Answer 10

He seems to fit Paul's definition of what a true spiritual Jew is: "For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither [is that] circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he [is] a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision [is that] of the heart, in the spirit, [and] not in the letter; whose praise [is] not of men, but of God." (Rom 2:28-29) So, saying he is not at all "Jew" is wrong according to that spiritual definition. In the flesh, he "was supposed" the son of a Jewish man(Luke 3:23) and since he was born of a Jewish woman, he meets the requirement of a "Jew" by the flesh. Nevertheless, he was better than the flesh of a Jew, for he was the flesh of God.

Answer 11

Please, a person's body isn't who he/she is! But Jesus' body was Jewish. His entire family was Jewish and he gave us the new religion of Christianity by dieing for our sins on the cross. Why would it bother you that Jesus was a Jew? Get over it, you can't win when no one else is playing. Not to forget that God had chosen Jews as His chosen people, how do you know that God isn't Jewish, too?
