Im going to regret going back and forth with you I know it... as you are at times very degrading to others, very sarcastic, and at times seem to promote yourself as some sort of superior over others... sound a bit like ole mate... but any way, here goes... Yeshua was obviously a Jew in the up leading to his ministry... Yeah Christianity was formed after, it was obvious that the Jews rejected the true Messiah.. so hence Christianity was born after Yeshua rose from the dead .. but Yeshua practiced the Jewish customs, of coarse he did,..

Yes, Yeshua (often referred to as Jesus in Pagan terms) was a Jew. He was born to Jewish parents, lived in a Jewish cultural and religious context, and practiced Judaism throughout his life. The New Testament describes him as participating in Jewish traditions, observing Jewish law, and engaging with Jewish religious leaders. His teachings also often drew upon Hebrew scriptures and Jewish thought.

Here are some biblical texts that demonstrate Yeshua's Jewish identity:

1. Birth and Family Background:
   • Matthew 1:1-16: This genealogy traces Yeshua's lineage back to Abraham and David, establishing his Jewish heritage. It specifically emphasizes his descent from the tribe of Judah.
   • Luke 3:23-38: This genealogy also connects Yeshua to Jewish ancestors, highlighting his lineage back to Adam through David.
2. Circumcision and Naming:
   • Luke 2:21: This verse describes Yeshua's circumcision on the eighth day after his birth, a key Jewish ritual, and notes that he was given the name Yeshua (Jesus) as instructed by the angel before his conception.
3. Observance of Jewish Customs:
   • Luke 2:41-42: This passage recounts how Yeshua’s family went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival each year, indicating their observance of Jewish customs and festivals.
   • Matthew 5:17-19: Yeshua states that he did not come to abolish the Law (Torah) or the Prophets, emphasizing his respect for Jewish law and tradition.
4. Teachings in a Jewish Context:
   • Matthew 15:24: Yeshua explicitly states, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel,” affirming his mission within the Jewish context.
   • Mark 12:29-31: When asked about the greatest commandment, Yeshua quotes the Shema from Deuteronomy 6:4-5, a central tenet of Jewish faith.
5. Interaction with Jewish Leaders:
   • John 3:1-2: Yeshua has a discussion with Nicodemus, a Pharisee and a member of the Jewish ruling council, indicating his engagement with Jewish leadership and religious thought.
6. Celebration of Jewish Festivals:
   • John 7:2: This verse mentions Yeshua attending the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), highlighting his participation in Jewish religious festivals.

These texts collectively illustrate that Yeshua was a Jew, deeply embedded in the Jewish culture, customs, and religious practices of his time.

Not sure why you think he wasn't originally a Jew prior to the new movement of his ministry...

Messianic Jews IMO are very close to the truth today.... a few things I don't agree with in their teachings, but in saying that, no one is 100% correct, not you, not wotsup, none of us have it 100% correct... but fact is, salvation is for us all, and is easy to obtain if we follow the lead example of Yeshua..WE need to repent.... really this is what is important.. but its hard the road to salvation and giving up ones self, pride, intolerances and narcistic behaviour.. we all know brother, the road to salvation is narrow and hard to obtain... singular ideology consumes many, hence the 45,000+ Christian denominations today.. all thinking they had it correct... their way. or no way..

Personally I choose YHWH and Yeshua as my means to everlasting life...

Yeshua was a Jew while as a man on earth in the flesh, then their were Christians..

Prophecy is unveiling even today, with the bombs that hit Israel, this is the start of a major ripple effect... Our Lord, and Saviour, was a Jew, this was part on the attempt to save the Israelites yet again... yet their hearts are wayward. I bet they embrace he Antichrist .. the false Messiah is about to raise his ugly head..

some of you guys that are all seeking truths, some locked into singular ideologies, are all missing the point of the over all message... fixated on subjects that keep you consumed and not moving forward... think about it
