Answer 1

None of them knew what Jesus was talking about until AFTER His resurrection. Before that, they had only noticed that what He spoke about tended to happen, as if it were some kind of strange coincidence. Some of the 'twelve' openly derided Him, and some put on an act of obedience, and faked loyalty to Him...just like people today do, both at work, and in the church. The people you mentioned were all Jews. As far as Joseph goes, there is currently not enough information about him to say exactly what happened to him, or even where he was at the time, for that matter. Mary, mother of Jesus, seems to disappear from the story immediately after the resurrection, as well.
Following the 'resurrection', the people mentioned did not know quite how to handle the miraculous reappearance. Nor did they seem to be able to recognize Jesus for who He was.
I find this confusing, as the text is not really clear about what was happening...and I'm sure the people that had known Him were confused as well. And as far as I can tell, they all remained Jews. Just because someone hung a name on them makes little difference. People still do the same thing today.The 'Christianity' Jesus supposedly taught was really just a reformed Judaism.
Peace to you, as well.

Answer 2

Apparently Joseph was dead before Christianity existed. Judas was not a Christian. The other 13 were Christians, that is the eleven, Matthias and Paul. Barnabas was also called an apostle, but we do not have mention that he had been chosen as one.

We do not know for certain that Mary ever became a Christian, but since she was taken in by John, I would suppose she became a Christian.

Jesus had to shed his blood in death and be resurrected before His blood would cleanse sins. Therefore, Christianity did not begin before the church and sins could be forgiven by baptism into the body of Jesus in water that represented His blood. The book of Acts; I Peter 3:21; Mark 16:16 and Galatians 3:26 "You are all children of God by believing in Christ Jesus." 27 "All of you who were baptized into Christ have put on Christ as if he were your clothes."

Answer 3

We know that Mary became a follower of her son.
The Bible says very little about Joseph. It is possible he had died before Jesus was killed.
All the apostles, excepting Judas Escariot, remained followers.
That is what a Christian is. A follower of the Christ.

Answer 4

First off Joseph was probably a Jew his whole life as his faith was never an issue since there is suspicion he died before Christ began his ministry.

Mary, having already been visited by the angel Gabriel at the conception of Jesus, seems to have complete faith in the God who sent the angel and possibly sees her son as following the footsteps of that God and his teachings. It must also be said that Mary was raised as a Jewish woman and I do not recall Jesus ever confronting her to believe in himself as the Son of that God since he called himself the Son of Man.

As for the twelve ( I suspect you mean the apostles here) they too were Jewish men who never conceived of themselves being 'Christians' as much as ones who witnessed the arrival of the long awaited Messiah mentioned throughout the Jewish text (I refer you specifically to the book of Isaiah).

Answer 5

All were Jews.
Jesus was a Jew.
Jesus' followers were not called Christians until Acts 11.
Up until then, Jesus' followers were considered to be a sect of Judaism.

Answer 6

They were all Jewish (at least initially) according the the New Testament, because Christianity is a historical offshoot of Judaism.

Answer 7

They only know what they read in books, and convince themselves they feel. Ohh what a strange coincidence that you shall not find a suitable answer to that question, only hypothesis because how can you really know unless you actually meet them all?

Answer 8

who's the 12?

Answer 9

They were all Jewish, but they all came to believe (Mary was the first to believe) that Jesus was the Messiah.

Answer 10

Christianity did not exist yet dear...
