Jesus was Jewish?

Question

Okay people, it is a proven fact that Jesus and his Apostles were all JEWISH.

That being said I would like you to explain how you all became Catholics, Baptists, Born Agains, Muslims, Buddists etc...

Answer 1

First of all, the Jewish leadership rejected Jesus, and his followers began proselytizing all over the Roman Empire.

Thus, the followers of Jesus, who became known as Christians, broke away from Judaism.

Roman Catholicism came about as the result of a disagreement between the bishop of Rome and the Eastern bishops. The bishop of Rome (who would later become known as the Pope) held that he was the top-ranking bishop. The Eastern bishops held that the bishop of Rome was first among equals, if anything. Some Eastern bishops remained loyal to the bishop of Rome, but many broke with him.

"Born Again" does not describe any denomination, but rather the common Christian belief that a man is dead in his sins until he comes to know Jesus (and my use of a masculine pronoun there is not intended to exclude women.).

There is some dispute among scholars about how the Baptist denomination originated. Some believe it originated with the Apostles, while others trace it to Europe in the 17th century. Read the Wikipedia article I've recommended.

Answer 2

Um...Muslims and Buddhists don't have anything to do with Jesus. Those are separate religions.

Jesus attempted to reform Judaism, and early followers considered themselves Jewish. Romans considered them a Jewish fringe sect. However, Judaism rejected the notion that Jesus was the Messiah. That fact effectively divided the camps into separate religions, since a major point of Judaism is awaiting the Messiah, and a major point of Christianity is that the Messiah has already come. It's a fundemental split of theologies.

As Christianity developed, it developed a number of subgroups: Catholics, Baptists, etc. This is normal for a religion. Jews, Muslims, Budhists etc all also have divisions within their religion.

Answer 3

I became "born again"through Jesus Christ Jesus himself taught that in order for anyone to see the kingdom they must be "born again"...and the term "Christian" was a term coined by people making fun of those who followed Christ it was used in a derogatory kind of way..it was not meant as a compliment, because most Jews were against Christ and his disciples. Buddhist and Muslims are not followers of Christ so I do not even see why you asked about them...to answer the question about Baptist etc, they all came down after the start of the early church..which first went by the name "The Way" I think, but I could be wrong. I hope that helps. Peace

Answer 4

There's nothing in the Tanakh (OT) that says everyone must be Jewish. All the righteous of the nations have a share in the world-to-come.

“To be a Jew is to be commanded to take actions because they are right, not for material gain or comfort. Had Abraham wanted tranquility and prosperity, he would have carried on his father’s idol business. To be a Jew is to open one’s tent on all four sides so that any stranger in need can enter from every direction. To be a Jew is to believe that the world can be redeemed. To be a Jew is to be carried by the current of the ancient Jewish river that keeps on flowing.” Arthur Hertzberg.

Answer 5

Better yet explain how Jesus was Jewish, and most Jews (excluding masionic Jews) dont acknowledge Jesus, other than being born out of wedlock. In fact he doesnt have a place in orthodox judiasm.

Yet the christians call the Jews their brother and sisters, and call the Jews the "chosen people" yet the christian doctrine contradicts that very point, christian doctrine states if a person wants to attain paradise, they must accept Jesus as their savior...
How ironic is that?
However Jesus has a very special place in Islam contrary to popular belief. In fact their is a chapter named after his mother Mary(Mariam) who is also highly regarded in Islam.

Answer 6

Of course Jesus was Jewish. But then he started the Christian religion! He spoke to the Jews, the believers followed him and were Christians after he died, the others stayed Jewish.

Answer 7

Jesus is the Son of God.To be saved you must be born again,by believing and confessing Jesus Christ died on the cross for all mankind and He is the Son of God and created everything and believing and confessing with your mouth that Jesus is the Son of God you will be saved.This will open your heart,to begin to understand what God has planned for you.Without this, you will not be able to understand any of this.You will have a natural desire to serve God first,although it is not easy,it is the true way,Its better to have never known God than to know Him and turn away.Come to God as a little child,because we are His children we make it so complicated thats what the devils want(authors of confusion) to make it comlex.I will challenge you to talk to God openly ask Him what is it you want from me.He will answer you trust me.

Answer 8

Because even though Jesus was born Jewish, His mission upon earth was to win our salvation by dying for our sins, AND to establish a Church on earth to enable mankind to access the grace of his salvific act. He founded one Church, the Catholic Church, for that purpose. Other churches came about various ways, but what they all have in common is that their existence is not the will of God. God expressed His divine will when He said "that they all may be ONE". The Catholic Church still is ONE, and will be until the end of time. But unauthorized manmade churches are many, in direct violation of His stated will.

Answer 9

See Acts Chapter 10.

Answer 10

Yes, Jesus was a Jew. But your question suggests you are either new on the planet or that even the smallest knowledge of your religion has eluded you. Perhaps you are a kid. Yes, you must be. If you are not, well...
