Is Jesus still Jewish?

Is Jesus still Jewish, or do you suppose he has converted to something else after all these years?

He hasn't converted as far as I know.
I haven't read anything in the newspapers about it anyway.
He is still jew. But dead since 2000 years.

jew as in religion or jew as in ethnicity? coz from the religious point of view it would be very bad PR if he wasn't christian. if the son of god doesn't believe he is the son of god then christianity is kind of pointless

He's not Christian, he's a Jewish rabbi. From a Christological point of view it takes his death and resurrection for Jesus of Nazareth to become the Christ. It's not like "Christ" is his last name. Whether he refers to himself as the Son of Man has nothing to do with his self-identity as a Jew.

Was Jesus ever a Jew? The writer of the gospel of John seems to have thought that Jesus existed before the creation and the establishment of Judaism.

Jesus was indeed a jew, he wasn't christian. The very word christian was minted long time after. If you ask Jesus himself at the time, he would verily answer "Why, of course I am a jew, why do you ask?" but in his language.

Now you are getting into the whole issue of Jesus being both man and god. So before one asks whether Jesus was/is a Jew one must specify which aspect of Jesus in particular they are talking about.

I suppose that if Jesus was truly born via a virgin birth then Jesus the man was only half Jew by race.

Was god jewish? Is he christian now?

Didn't you know? Jesus was a Jew, but after His resurrection He became a white man. 🙄

how can you fundamentally change a religion and not be of the new religion. fine, the term christian was implemented after his death. and if you consider that christianity was constantly altered after that you cannot consider him a christian. but he certainly wasn't a jew. the nut joseph smith called himself a mormon. luther was a protestant. you cannot call luther a catholic.

Wasn't Luther a catholic during his life? Did he ever call himself a lutheran?

Did Muhammed call himself a muhamedan? Even a muslim?

Did Buddha call himself a buddhist?

I've never called myself a Fabianist...

So the man who said "I am the way, the truth and the light" was a Jew?

sure he luther was born a catholic. but if you change properties on catholicism and add or remove some, what remains is something different.


the dog was a wolf. some characteristics have been altered, so we call the dog a dog and the wolf a wolf.

i think mohammed called himself a muslim. i am not sure but isn't the word muslim equivalent to "submits to god?". so didn't mohammed submitted to god? so he is a muslim. anyway it is absurd to think that mohammed, the founder of islam is not a muslim but a "whatever religion he was in at his birth"

The first dog in history was still a wolf. Its pups perhaps could be called dogs.

If Muslim means "submits to god", then Adam and Eve were muslims, right?
