Forums - General Discussion - Was Jesus a Jew?

I don't know enough about the debate but I do think he was. Most people in his time were either Jews or Muslims

Christianity is a religion that is derived from Judaism ... Jesus Christ and his followers would best be described as a radical Jewish sect.



k. I think this thread is settled then.

Are you sure there were Muslims? I thought that was founded in about 600 AD...

But yeah Jesus was a Jew.



yeah, Jesus was Jewish, converted what we know as Christianity based off of Jewish teachings and what we know it as The "New Testaments"



The PS3, it only dose EVERYTHING....Except play good games :P

Yeah he was. I don't think Islam existed at the time however.

The only real difference between Jews and modern Christians is that the Jews believed there would be a messiah, but not the way Jesus was.  They expected a ruler to come and change the world, not a humble work worker performing miracles and teaching life lessons.  That's where Jews and Christians split.  To Christians Jesus was the Messiah, to Jews, they're still waiting.



Just wondering, why is there so much hatred against jews if jesus was a jew?
Not too familiar with the history so anyone can fill in that will be great.
