OK, I'll bite: None of them were "Jewish" in the strictest sense of the term. Jews are descendants of the tribe of Judah -- which was one of Israel's (Jacob's) sons.

That is a trick question? I remember saying that Job was a Jew. But it says he was the greatest of all the orientals.
Shem was the forfather to Abraham and he was of the Asian branch. There is no Jewish branch in the human family.
If I remember my classes, there is the arian or Japath branch of white people. Then they had the Ham or black race.
Then there was the Asiatic branch which Abraham came from.
I also read that Jews are a combination of all races. You can have black jews, white jews and asiatic jews.
I thought when reading that may be why God choose to send his son down as a Jew. To represent all races.
So basically Abraham would have to be Asian?
Someone said or I read somewhere the Samaritians was the forfathers to the Japanese race.

Technically Abraham was not, because the covenant with G-d had not been made when he was born. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were among the founders of Judaism. You could also argue that they were Israelites - whereas we did not become Jews until after Moses received the ten commandments.

No, since the term Jew stems from Judah and Judah was a son of Jacob.
All Jews may be sons of Abraham but not all sons of Abraham, Isaac, or Jacob are Jews.

Yes, Abraham is considered the founder of the Jewish nation and he is the father and grandfather of the other 2.

They WERE the Jewish race. All Jews trace their lineage back to Jacob (later named Israel).
Asking this is like asking "Was Paul McCartney an important member of Wings?"

No, Jewish is not a race, it is a religion, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were Hebrew. The Jewish religion was founded by Satan, and Moses was his spokeman.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness.
All that came before me (Moses and the Prophets) were thieves and robbers.
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but My Father giveth you the TRUE bread (Words) from heaven.
Rev 13:10-18 is Moses and Solomon's temple.

No, the Jewish race (Israelites) did not exist until Jacob was renamed by God. Jacob (Israel) was the founding father of the twelve tribes of Israel. Also, circumcision was introduced at the same time, therefore completing the covenant between God and His chosen people.

YES
He ( Abraham ) was the Father of many Nations
thus the name Abram to Abraham
and through his loins was the Nation of Jews descended
