I was born to a Jewish mother and father. I believe in Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, the Messiah, God's annointed. Hallelujah!

If you were born from a Jewish mother, then you are still a Jew by birth, but you are not JewISH any longer.
You cannot religiously be Jewish and Christian at the same time, as the two religions have almost nothing in common and their foundational doctrines are almost polar opposites.
So you have turned yourself into a Christian. You're not JewISH any longer.
P.S. This is according to Orthodox Judaism.

At best, you are an apostate Jew.
Many people, Christians and some Jews as well, erroneously believe that just as one can be Black and Christian, just as one can be Oriental and Christian, one can also be Jewish and Christian. It is not true. The Jews are not a race. There is no genetic code passed from either mother or father to the child that makes that child a Jew. Even if all, or some, of the genetic code in a child could be proved to be of Jewish Origin, that would not make the child a Jew. Jewish law determines who is a Jew, and Jewish law is quite clear. If a person's mother is a Jew, and that person has not converted to another faith, then that person will be considered fully Jewish, so long as that person wishes to identify solely as a Jew. Although one cannot convert to become a member of a race, for example one cannot convert to become an Oriental or an African-American, one who converts to Judaism does, indeed, become fully a Jew. Similarly, if one converts from Judaism to another faith, one is no longer a Jew.

You're a Jew. You're a Christian. You're a Jew who believes in Christ. You're a Jewish Christian. Take your pick.

There's a difference between believing Christ lived and believing he was the son of God and died for your sins.
If you only believe the former, you're still a jew. If you believe the latter, you're a christian.

You are a Christian....which mans a follower of Jesus Christ....if you follow him, you are a Christian but the bible says in God's Kingdom there is neither Jew nor Greek,,,we are all one in the Kingdom. We are all one family with one Father.
Hello brother David,,, if you love and follow Jesus, you are my brother or sister.

A Christian that could very easily become Jewish by repenting and coming back to Judaism. As long as you maintain a belief in the divinity of Jesus, you are outside of Judaism- an apostate with no place in Judaism- cut off from Bnei Yisrael in this world and the next.
Edit: Marji- you ask why you are deemed to have no autority to give answers on Judaism. Simply put, your statements and your work in actively trying to convert Jews means you have committed sins grave enough for you to merit the punishment of kares- heavenly excission. As such- you are cut off from Bnei Israel, you are not part of us in any way at all and have no right to speak about our beliefs which you clearly do not share.
