If mary was jewish?

Question

That means Jesus was brought up in the jewish faith.
If God saw fit to put Jesus in mary who was Jewish doesnt that mean that he wanted Jesus to be jewish too?
If this is the case then i would think that being jewish not christian would be the correct faith to follow.
What do you think.

Answer 1

Yes, if there was a man named Jesus, he was very definitely a Jew. The problem arises with his divinity. As a Jew, it would have been an abomination to elevate himself to a divine category. The belief that God would become human is the ultimate heresy.

Jesus was born a Jew and died a Jew.. His mother was born a Jew and died a Jew. And all the disciples were born Jewish and died Jewish.

Answer 2

Jesus is Jewish. God wanted the Jewish people to accept Christ as their Messiah. They refused, and then God opened the way for the Gentiles (us) to be grafted into the family of God through faith in Christ. The message went out to the Jews first. The Jewish faith was based on the laws of Moses and the Old Covenant. Gentiles were not under the Mosaic Law. We came in under the New Covenant. Now that the Jews have rejected their Messiah, they too must enter into the New Covenant by faith rather than by obeying the law.

Answer 3

The Jews were God's chosen people...you know, The Israelites. When Christianity came about, it was a direct result in the fulfillment of the prophesy...the Messiah...coming from the House of David...etc...The tag, Christian was meant to be an insult to those Jews that believed and followed Jesus after the resurrection. Jews were the first to become Christians and then the news was spred throughout the world...to the gentiles. Because those that follow the Jewish faith do not accept Christ as the Messiah, they are not included in the New Covenant. However, we are still responsible for trying to bring them to Christ...but in doing so, they have to give up their religion...note, I said religion. They get to keep their faith and allow it to grow knowing that they have accepted the most precious gift God could ever give us. But, since they reject Jesus, they reject God. I am of Jewish descent...it isn't as easy as it may seem (not in Christ's time, and not in ours.).

Answer 4

You're right.

Jesus was 100% Jewish and taught at the local Jewish University called the Temple at Jerusalem.

Jesus was a liberal Jew who used his cousin's (John the Baptist) idea of water baptism to replace circumcision. Jesus Christ said some nasty things about manna and ran through the Temple of Jerusalem with a pistol...oops...a bullwhip.

Jesus's radical ideas did not go over well with traditional Judaism. Bottomline, the local Jerusalem politicians decided to take Jesus out and that's why he was simply one of three criminals crucified on a Friday afternoon - kind of like death row in Texas under Texas Methodist Christian and governor, George Bush, Jr., now president of the United States who talks with God (over a cellphone/whatever).

Answer 5

Jesus was put there so that he could end the Law of Moses and set people free, notice that Jesus opened the door for the gentile people to come into the fold that wasn't Jewish.

Answer 6

I have asked the same Question myself...
What I was told (the most times) is that before Christ died on the cross for our sins this was true. That The people of Israel are God's chosen people, and that many have turned away from him by not believing that what Christ did for our sins by giving up his own life for us. They believe Jesus was a wonderful man but is not our savior and the Savior has not come yet.

Usually I don't answer these religion questions but I have asked this question to soooo many different people (I grew up where there were at least 3 Jewish Temples within walking distance) and depending on who you ask you will get a different explanation.

Keep seeking the truth - I myself will always continue to seek for spiritual knowledge and truth :)

Answer 7

You haven't read the Bible have you? Yes Jesus was Jewish, the old testament is more or less the Torah (Jewish Bible). Last last books in the old testament predict the birth of the messiah (Jesus) who would save humanity from sin and install christianity. But many religous leaders refuse to obey to Jesus because he talked about a personal relation with God and not a religion.

Answer 8

Good point. But not everyone is going to feel that way. Judaism is a bit different then Christianity. We all know Jesus was Jewish .But his followers turned it into something else.
You can't help what people believe, but technically. I guess Judaism should be more practiced around the world then it is now.

Answer 9

The old testament is what the Jews believe in and still do. This is prior to Jesus dying on the cross, and the new testament being written. Thus Christianity comes in. Christians believe in the old and new testaments. Jews just don't believe Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is a Jew.

Answer 10

Jesus was Jewish and brought up in the Hebrew faith. The Bible makes that pretty clear.
