Zone1 If Jesus Was 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.
I don't think that Jews follow Christ

Don't they consider him to be a heretic?
 
our church is american ...

says the guy whose religion is an unintelligible book written three centuries past an event without a single verified recording.
I understand it just fine.
 
It’s not a burden. It’s what Gd wants of us, and it’s a wonderful way to maintain our sense of community.

there in lies the fallacy of judaism - your tribe wants, that's all you are talking about - jesus is never a jew for that reason. you are who claimed otherwise to crucify him.
 
Let's go into specifics. Name one Law you find burdensome, and can you also describe the burdens?
I would have a hard time with this one.

188. Not to eat the meat of an animal that died without ritual slaughter—Deuteronomy 14:21

Killed this one, and many others, myself, no "ritual slaughter".

That’s not so hard. You just buy meat from the kosher butcher.

And eating out, you stick with fish or vegetarian. Or, you if you want steak, you go to a kosher restaurant. This one is just a few blocks from where I worked, and it was really good.

I like hunting.
 
You are basically saying that I should give up hunting. Ain't gonna happen.
That’s because you’ve been doing it. But to Jews, it’s no big deal since so few hunt. So, not a burden at all.
 
Not as far as I’m aware. He was a traditional Jew who taught Jewish values.
That's not what they say


Jesus was a bastard born of adultery” (Yebamoth 49b).

“Jesus was a magician and a fool. Mary was an adulteress” (Shabbath 104b).

“Jesus was guilty of sorcery and apostasy” (Sanhedrin 43a).

“Mary was a whore: Jesus (Balaam) was an evil man” (Sanhedrin 106a & b).

Jesus was sent to Hell, where he is punished by boiling excrement for mocking Rabbis” (Gittin 56b, 57a).

as far as I know All Jews agree that Jesus was not the messiah, a prophet, or God incarnate

But what do I know

I was basically answering Meriweather's question, which was actually "Which Jewish commandments would be burdensome to a Christian".

Those quotes are all inaccurate or misrepresentations. The Talmud never mentions Jesus. If you would like, I can refer you to a site which explains that thoroughly.

I never heard ANY of that. As I said, I’ve been going to Torah and Jewish history classes on and off for 50 years, and Jesus has never even been mentioned.

Well, that’s different.

It’s like with lobster. From what I’ve gathered, people seem to like the taste of the thing. I’ve never had it, so I don’t miss it. But I could see where it would be tough for a Christian who has converted to Orthodox Judaism (like Ivanka Trump) to give it up.

On the flip side, Jews have some really delicious foods.
 
Could you have captured the animal and then made it a Kosher killing without the animal having to suffer?
That would have been the kind thing to do, or, if unable to do it, refrain from the “pleasure” of causing an animal to suffer and die in pain in the first place.

Then again, I follow kashrut.

This particular Kosher law reveals God is compassionate and teaches His people to be compassionate. In this particular case, it is not the Law one finds burdensome, it's complaining compassion is burdensome. That I can agree with...sometimes compassion can be a burden. That burden is worth carrying and then some.
