Was Jesus a Jew?

[Mr. 5020]

Christians follow the risen Christ. Does Christ follow the risen Christ?

:think:

I assume you're being rhetorical here, so I guess I won't answer.

 

[BillyBob]

I am still waiting for just one Bible verse to prove anything that you are claiming.

I'm not going to start chasing Bible verses down, it is an historical fact that Jesus was a Jew. He even talked about non Jews as being dogs.

I'm still waiting for you to provide scripture which shows that Jesus was anything BUT a Jew.

 

[BillyBob]

Interesting... a Rabbi that isn't Jewish. :chuckle:

Exactly!

 

[Linkin217]

he was a jew becasue people called him rabbi
John 1:38 "Jesus looked around and saw them following. “What do you want?” he asked them.
They replied, “Rabbi” (which means Teacher), “where are you staying?”
so he would have been a teacher of the jewish faith

 

[Lovejoy]

Is this sort of liking asking if Jesus was under the law? Cause then I get all confused.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Jesus could have corrected the Samaritan woman when she said....

John 4:9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

This is one of those silly topics because all you need to do is read the gospels and you will be overwlemed with evidence that Jesus was a Jew.

It's like... where do I sart? :chuckle:

Here...

Matthew 12:1-14 KJV

(1) At that time Jesus went on the sabbath day through the corn; and his disciples were hungry, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat.
(2) But when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day.
(3) But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him;
(4) How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests
(5) Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless
(6) But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple.
(7) But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
(8) For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.
(9) And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue:
(10) And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
(11) And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
(12) How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
(13) Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.
(14) Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

Jesus was starting the "relationship is more important than rules" religion here.

 

[Linkin217]

Jesus practiced Judaism. Paul is the 'founder' of Christianity.

The word christian was originaly an insult before that came about were followers of Christ or diciples of Christ and Christianity is not as much of a religion as it is a relationship with, you guessed it Christ:bannana:

Tonight's homework....

Find the following verse in the Bible....

And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

Then, determine if this was before, during or after Jesus earthly ministry.

That is exactly what I told Mr. 5020 when he asked for scriptural proof, I suggested the 4 Gospels. :doh:

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Jesus was starting the "relationship is more important than rules" religion here.

Jesus wasn't changing anything!

The relationship was ALWAYS more important than the rules. Jesus spend a good amount of time trying to correct this error.

After.

Against the wish of the leaders of Judaism.

Sounds Pauline.

Looks like 5020 already got it.

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Mr. 5020 what do you think Jesus was?

Jesus, King of the what?

 

[BillyBob]

Against the wish of the leaders of Judaism.

Of course, but the question is 'Why' did the Jewish leaders protest?

 

[Nathon Detroit]

Against the wish of the leaders of Judaism.

The Pharisees were bad leaders. Jesus was correcting them.

 

[Mr. 5020]

Mr. 5020 what do you think Jesus was?

Jesus, King of the what?

King of the Jews.
