Jews are Gods chosen people.....?

Question

and the first Christians were Jews. Jesus was God in the flesh.
So how could Jesus have been Jewish? Wasnt he God born into a Jewish family? I've never read that God is a Jew.

Answer 1

There was no need for God to be "Jewish" as He was perfect and had never sinned. The Jewish religious practice and eventually it's completion in the form of Christianity were established as a way for man-kind to be able to communicate again with God (having lost contact after the first sin in the garden of Eden). So really God doesn't have a religion of any kind, nor does He need one, however Christ (God in human form) did come down and practice the Jewish faith and lay the foundations of the Christian faith to show us how to do it (not because He needed to do it himself).

Answer 2

Jesus was born into the Jewish race, but God is not a Jewish person. Jewish people are chosen for a purpose here on earth, just like the rest of us have a certain purpose. He loves us all.

Answer 3

If Jesus was born from a Jewish parents then he is a Jew by simple reasoning isn’t it? The Jews as the chosen people of God, you can read it in the book of Deuteronomy 7:6-7 of the old testament of the Bible.

Answer 4

God has no religion.
His promise to send a Messiah was made through the Jewish race, descendants of Abraham.
Therefore, Jesus was born into that "family" of the human race.
Luke and Matthew's Gospels trace His heritage back through King David, to Abraham and to Adam.
As God promised in the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12-17), Jesus could only have been Jewish.

Answer 5

God is not Jewish.
He does indeed have a special purpose for the Jews.
Jesus was a Jew as a man and He is God as well.
It gets a little confusing if you let it but the main point is that God has called out those who will follow Him from the rest. Today there is still a difference between Jew and Gentile but there will be a day when that difference is no longer valid and all who follow Him will be His children.

Hope that helps.

Answer 6

Jesus' two natures:

1 Human - as a man, he was born a jew.

Gal 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

2. Divine In His divinity, He is the object of worship.

Hbr 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Answer 7

No on all accounts. Jesus/Yeshua was NEVER God in the flesh as people think, that was a creation that came to be at the Nicea Assembly and forced upon people, through destruction and editing of scriptures and whole genocides on sects that did not hold the doctrine of the state of Pagan Rome.

People who say Yeshua/Jesus is God in the flesh don't know anything of their own nature. Yeshua is the pattern and elder brother who succeeded and became one with God, as we all must do. Know Thy Self.

There is no such thing as God picking chosen people, those who are chosen are those who answer the Call of consecration and the mindset which is apart from the world. You are chosen when you walk the The Way of holiness, not what ethnicity you are, and what have you. Such a God is nonexistent, all of those opinions of God are completely unworthy stop reading allegorical scriptures literally. You must Become Israel within yourself. In scriptures a Jew, gentile, house of Israel, pharisee is all mindsets and conditions upon the mind, not literal people when it is applied in scriptures. Just like animal sacrifices in the Torah was an allegory.

Answer 8

Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, there is a sharp contrast made between God on one hand, and human beings on the other. First of all, there is always a reprimand against any human being who claims to be God, or Divine, as we read in Ezekiel 28:2:
Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Eternal God; Because thine heart is lifted up, and thou hast said, I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the midst of the seas; yet thou art a man, and not God, though thou set thine heart as the heart of God:
Then there is the verse from Hosea in which God specifically tells us that God is not a human being:
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not a man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city. [Hosea 11:9]
And then there is another verse, in Numbers 23:19, where God specifically tells us that if God were a human being, then he would be a liar, as all human beings do lie on occasion. Furthermore, this verse tell us that if God were a human being, he would be in need of repentance because all human beings sin at some point in their lives. Finally, this verse also tells us that if God were a human being, then he would make promises, but not keep them:
God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the Son of Man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? [Numbers 23:19]
God is the same, God does not lie, and God is God and Human Beings are Human Beings, and God does not become a Human Being, and Human Beings do not become gods.
Being Jewish, I can tell you for a fact that the concept of "chosenness" does not imply any sense of superiority.
After all, Judaism is the ONLY religion which teaches that ALL moral people merit heaven, regardless of their religious beliefs, afiliations, or lack thereof.
Choseness does imply a special uniqueness.
Historically, it goes back to Abraham. Abraham lived in a world steeped in idolatry, which he concluded was contradicted by the reality of design in nature.
So Abraham came to a belief in God, and took upon himself the mission of teaching others of the monotheistic ideal. Abraham was even willing to suffer persecution for his beliefs. After years of enormous effort, dedication and a willingness to accept the responsibility to be God's representative in this world, God chose Abraham and his descendants to be the teachers of this monotheistic message.
In other words it is not so much that God chose the Jews; it is more accurate that the Jews (through Abraham) chose God.

Read Mat.1: 1-18; Lu. 3:23-38; Gen. 49:10; Num. 24:17; Dt. 18:15; Ps. 22,41:9; Isaiah 4:2, 7:14, 9:7,53:3; Zec. 9:9; Mic. 5:2; Dan. 9:25; 2 Sam. 7:12-15 Just for a start.
God bless u!!!

Answer 10

:-)

the Christians is a new name many years after Jesus passed away. There's no direct link between christians and Jesus, just as a faith. And Jew is Jew. If he/she changed to other then he/she is no more Jew.
Of course you can give any label of believe to her/him


peace
