If Jesus was a jew....?

Question

If Jesus was a Jew, then why don't the christians become jews too? They always are saying, "What would Jesus do?" Well, for starters, Jesus would follow the jewish beliefs, not create his own. Please enlighten me.

Answer 1

Jesus was a Jew. But the kind of Jew that existed back in his time not ours. They (as have all religions) have changed their religion as they went to suit their beliefs and said "its gods will" or something like that. Or at least that's what I think and Its gods will that I think this way! Some one add that to the Bible please in Kiki10 verse 1.

Answer 2

Jesus was jewish and he came to reaffirm judaism since the Jews of the time were being naughty in God's eyes. The whole reason why Christians aren't jews is because Paul figured he would start a church in Rome, hence the RC church was born and decisions were made to push propaganda down peoples' throats so that they'd forget what Jesus stood for. It has worked remarkably well for over 2,000 years.

Answer 3

"if jesus was a jew"
first of all, Jesus is not an ordinary human. He was fully God and fully Man when he came. He actually came to change some things. Jews no longer would have to make sacrifices, b/c Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice. Anyway, the Jews are the ones who hated Jesus and initiated his crucifixion and constantly persecuted those who believed in Jesus.

Answer 4

Good point. That is how we know the "Christians" are out to lunch to ignore the first 2/3 of Scripture. If He was the final sacrifice, He deserves a central place in the picture, and "Jews" deny that to Him, by ignoring the last 1/3 of scripture. True believers followed Torah for 300 years after Messiah, until "Christians" outlawed obedience.

Answer 5

In Jesus' time there were many ways to be Jewish. His earliest followers considered themselves Jews. Paul adapted it, incorporated Greek and mystery religion elements, and moved it out into the non-Jewish world, where it gained many more converts and left behind much of its original Jewish identity (and soon became, of course, a different religion altogether).

Answer 6

In many ways, Christians are Jews too. Catholics (at least), incorporate many of the practices of the Temple such as the priesthood into the faith, and we use the books of Moses and the Prophets and Wisdom books too. One way to look at Christianity is as a very big Jewish sect.

Answer 7

You can not be born into a religion, you chose it, this is adultery.

If you practice and believe in your religion, than you will do all that is commanded by your religion.

The true religion is not a religion, it is having "the Word of God" in your forehead, to remember what you were taught in the very beginning, from Your Father in heaven, to remember His Light (Glory/Truth)

This is how those who came before Jesus the Christ, knew right from wrong, they were made in the "image" of their Father.

The Christ (Jesus) was born by the WORD. The Christ was with God His Father. The Christ became the Living Word of God.

Every spirit in the world that was born of the Father was born with the "light".

The Glory of God is His truth, the commandments that we as His children were born with (His Word) and it is manifested as LIGHT. Jesus the Christ is the Light of the world, because He brought us the TRUTH, concerning Moses, the prophets, Peter, Paul and our Father who is in heaven.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness Gen 1:3-4

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Rev 12:9


the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

That was the true Light, which lighteth every man (spirit) that cometh into the world (the spirits were called man). He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:1-14

Answer 8

Of course Jesus was a Jew. Why do you think the Romans killed him?

Answer 9

Yes, Jesus was a jew.

Yes, christianity is an offshoot of judaism. That is why there are still jews, even though there are christians in the modern era.

Yes, humans evolved from ape-like ancestors. That is why there are still humans, even though there are apes in the modern era.

Answer 10

Jesus was Jewish by bloodline and of course he knew His Father God in heaven, but he did not follow all of the Jewish laws. That's why the Pharisees wanted him dead. He was always telling them off, and they were always yelling at him for breaking their laws. Ever hear of the Sermon on the Mount? That's where Jesus laid down the new covenant and fulfilled the law of Moses. That's where Christianity started.
