Zone1 If Jesus Was A Jew

[Road Runner]

Then why aren't Christians Jewish? I don't get it.

 

[DakotaKai_fan20]

Well technically we are part Jewish. The Old Testament is basically the Jewish belief system.

We are. We are the true Israelites/Jews, spiritually.

The church is the true Israel.

Remind me to smack you later! Why would you think that just because Jesus was born a Jew
that he intended only other Jews to be free to follow his teachings? Christianity is open to all.

One of the precepts of Christianity has always been to convert others to Christianity as the act of saving their souls.

I didn't say that though.

Jewishness is passed on through the mother, the matriarchal line. The Jewish tribe is passed on through the father, the patriarchal line.

Alright so then in other words Jesus was just a Jew because of His heritage line.

Jesus was a Jew you stupid fucking moron.

I know that but I was asking why we don't follow His faith then. Btw, this is zone 1 and being a former mod I would think that you would know to watch your language but then again, that's giving you way too much credit. Reported.

So your entire OP is stupid.

You just don't understand the question.

Correct. Jesus' Jewishness was passed on through Mary. His tribe would have passed on through Joseph if he was considered the adoptive father.

God chose the time and the place to offer His son to the world. He could have made his son an Egyptian pharaoh, a Greek king, a Roman emperor, or any other kind of rich, powerful man. But instead, He chose a humble Jewish teacher, in a place and time when Jews had no political power, no wealth, no influence.

There's a reason for that.

Apparently you didn't read the title of the thread.

Plus He was also born in a barn. Talk about Him being humble.

jesus was not or ever a jew ...

judaism's false commandments, hereditary idolatry is in the conclusion the barrier jesus was not able for the jews to overcome to free themselves from their religion of servitude and denial.

 

[toobfreak]

I didn't say that though.

Well, you IMPLIED it by asking why all Christians are not Jews just because Jesus was born a Jew.

I just thought that it would make more sense if we were Jewish since we follow Jesus and that would mean that we would follow His religion but now I see that that was just His bloodline.

Nah, to be Jewish, you need to be born of that racial ethnicity or at least follow the Jewish faith.
Following Jesus per se is following the ideology of Christianity which he started, open to all, irregardless of ethnicity.
Actually, according to strict Jewish faith, they don't believe that the son of God has even come yet.

Judaism was the religion that Jesus practiced. Christianity is the religion about Jesus.

Fair enough.
