Since Joseph was not his biological father and God was, must we consider God is Jewish or Jesus was not?

Because he was born to a Jewish mother, which makes him a Jew.
From Wikipedia:
"According to traditional Jewish Law, a Jew is anyone born of a Jewish mother or converted in accord with Jewish Law."
It's passed down from the mother's bloodline. He was born of a Jewish mother, and therefore, was considered a Jew.

Mary and Joseph were both Jewish, of course Jesus was Jewish. What point are you trying to make here?
The real question here is have you received salvation through Jesus Christ? Did you know that He paid the penalty for sin when He shed His precious blood on the cross?
Read and study the Bible, it has all of the answers you are looking for.

Yahshua was born to a Jewish mother, and had a jewish father, BOTH of which had common geneology(they were cousins). He was born of the tribe of Judah, but came for 'the lost sheep of Israel', which were the 10 tribes that were scattered from Assyria. His entire goal was to bring Judah and Israel back together again, which is God's plan, and why the 'Gospel' had to go out to all corners of the world.
Today's 'jews' MISTAKENLY say that a Jew is one born of a Jewish mother. The physical geneology has ALWAYS come from the MAN, not the woman. Their hypocrisy is plain to see sometimes.

Of course the God of the Jews is Jewish. I'm an atheist and even I know that. People create God in their own image.

The immaculate conception refers to the conception of Mary, not the conception of Christ. Mary was conceived without original sin. Her soul was therefore immaculate. As for Jesus being Jewish, His family was, so on this earth, as a child my guess is he followed Jewish laws and customs. However, as He was the start of Christianity I suppose you could say as an adult He converted. :)

Wrong. On just about every count.
First, Mary was born via immaculate conception, not Jesus.
Second, jewishness is considered to come from the mother, not the father (since a tribe might not know for certain who the father was but they damn well knew who the mother was).
Third, if the christian god is anything, he is jewish. All we know about him was written by jews, he chose the jews, he revealed himself only to jews, he spoke only to jews, his prophets were all jews, and his messiah/son was a jew.
This whole god thing may be total nonsense but it's jewish nonsense, despite the misgivings of true white American christians.

Mary was Jewish, Jesus grew up in the Jewish culture and community.

MAN.... you are not a christian that's for sure... if you are then you need to read the bible....
AND God is not Jewish... man... Jesus in the form of man is just you being noted for your heritage and what you are.......

The whole reason God protected the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob was so that there would be no question that Jesus was born of the Jews.

A person is Jewish when he/she is born of a Jewish mother, regardless who the father is.
