Why Jesus was not a jew?

Question

if he was a jew then why he was rejected by his community??

Did he practiced usury as jews do? nop, in fact I remeber him once fighting againts the merchants of the temple.

Did he believed that Israel was the "chosen people"? nop, in fact he started to convey God's message to everyone

So, he is not jew coz he came to correct the deviations them and to encourage people to follow the religion as it was revealed to prophet Moses...

Answer 1

Jesus (Isa pbuh) is (not to be used "was" for him), among the signs of Allah, He started talking while he was just an infant, so He was a prophet of Allah by birth. So he was never a Jew.

Answer 2

"Why Jesus was not a jew?"
Well, being from the line of David, he was a Jew, deary.

"if he was a jew then why he was rejected by his community??"
Two reasons,
1) God told us that they wouldn't in the Old Testament,
2) He told us in the New Testament, " A prophet is not welcome in his own country and his own house"

"Did he practiced usury as jews do? nop, in fact I remeber him once fighting againts the merchants of the temple."
That was fulfilling a prophecy. You don't know very much, do you?

"Did he believed that Israel was the "chosen people"? nop, in fact he started to convey God's message to everyone"
"To the Jew first" you really don't know much, do you?

"So, he is not jew coz he came to correct the deviations them and to encourage people to follow the religion as it was revealed to prophet Moses.."
If you read Isaiah 61, you would know why he came. But you don't read very much, do you? Instead are you listening to the rabble rousing Imam?

Answer 3

wow you are way off.The lineage of Jesus shows that he was a direct descendant of the House of King David (Jews)..Jesus was sent to lead the Jews, he is the Jewish messiah if you actually study the Torah and compare it to the new testament, the facts speak for themselves...As for fighting againts the merchants in the temple, Jesus wasn't fighting them He was angry that they had turned the House of the Lord into a market place instead of respecting that it was a house of Worship...He did convey the message of God to everyone...He did not come to correct deviations, but to become the ultimate sacrifice according to Jewish Law...which was to sacrifice an animal with out blemish...Jesus was a man with out blemish the final attonement for our/their sins.. Here are a few scriptures to clarify some of your statements..the book of Matthew pretty much touches on everything about why Jesus came here and his clarifying the laws and his fellings on the Jewish people..it also gives his entire lineage.


Isa 65:9
9 I will bring forth descendants from Jacob,
and from Judah those who will possess my mountains;
my chosen people will inherit them,
and there will my servants live.
NIV

Matt 10:5-7

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
NIV


Matt 21:12-13

12 Jesus entered the temple area and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it a 'den of robbers.'"
NIV

Answer 4

From the bible, this guy is a Jew, period.

The fact he throw tantrum at the merchants is because these merchants are doing business on holy ground, not because the is not a Jew.

He believed Israelis were the chosen people, read the bible and you will notice he favour the Jews over others.

Answer 5

To follow your logic, then my son is not an American, even though he was born in the U.S., has lived here his entire life, speaks the language, shares the customs and looks and talks and acts like someone from another country would expect an American to be. Because my son's viewpoints on many things do not necessarily agree with the viewpoints of many Americans, and because he doesn't necessarily conform himself to the standards or norms of society (he's rebellious), does that make him any less of an American?? Of course not.

Jesus WAS a Jew while He lived on this earth. He was a direct descendant of King David. He was (is) not only God, come to earth as a human, but when He came to earth, He came directly from the royal line of Israel. He had great respect for the traditions, beliefs and customs of His Jewish people. He went to the temple, He gave sacrifices and obeyed the laws and kept the traditions. When He got angry at the temple, it was only because there were people making a profit for their own selfish greed, in the name of providing a "service" for their fellow Jews who came to the temple to worship, pray and to offer sacrifices. Christ spoke out against their greed and selfishness. I fail to see how that makes Him less of a Jew. Quite the contrary - it makes Him a better one than those in the temple who were doing this despicable stuff.

As to believing that Israel was not the "chosen people", can you please reference a verse where it says that? The fact that He conveyed that God's message was for everyone, was actually prophesied by Jewish prophets, centuries before Christ came to earth. Christ didn't come to do away with Jews being God's chosen people, but rather to provide a way for them to have salvation without having to meet all the strict requirements of Jewish law, and He also came to make this gift of Salvation available to ALL of God's creation who choose to accept it. Again, I fail to see how this makes Christ not Jewish.

Answer 6

Jesus was rejected because he was not what he claimed to be.

or rather, what he was happened to not be the Messiah.

Judaism does not promote charging undue interest, and has no relevance to jesus anyway.

Chosen people does not mean that only jews get to heaven or something. in fact the God of Judaism is so powerful, just, and loving as to not need an eternal hell.

the way most christians belive, is Polytheistic idolotry and in absolute contradiction to that which was given to Moses.

>>"pl let me know the answer if he tells u."<<

he said "of course, wtf else would I be?"

Answer 7

He was a Jew. He just opposed the watered-down view of the Law advocated by the Pharisees.

Answer 8

they didn't want Jesus to be there Messiah. because when he was on earth his body was nothing special. and sat with sinners.

john 3:17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Answer 9

Jesus was always a Jew. He had Jewish parents, cousins etc

He went to a synagogue too.

So what makes him not a Jew?

You're possibly Muslim (judging by your nickname), and you people are negative towards the Jews, so you don't want Jesus (your prophet) to be a Jew.

Answer 10

First of all, you can't spell.

Secondly, your arguments are nonsensical. Jesus was a HEBREW, i.e., JEWISH... IF he even really existed at all - all that is written about him was written AFTER his lifetime - there are no first-hand accounts of his existence at all. If there really was a "Jesus" he was VERY Jewish. Your conclusions are absurd.

BTW: Christians were prohibited from earning interest on loaning money - Jews were not, so your nonsense about "usury" is just that - NONSENSE.
