If Jesus is a Jew, why is his religion Chrisinity?

[genericname85]

well firstly cause the jewish religion of the time wasn't about jesus him.

secondly because jesus father needed an excuse for having a child outside of marriage that prevented that child from losing it's rights to leadership of the jewish tribe by being labeled a bastard. that's why he created that "god conception myth" that basically took the jewish religion and put a spin on it that made jesus gods new prophet.

this was a common thing back then. gods were made up. then different people claimed to be messiahs of that god or otherwise acting on behalf of that god and used that do legitimate government power. that was actually still used up to the 18th century, when the french decided this is bullshit and started western secularization.

but event the religion that the jews had before jesus was not "jewish" in origin. it was a collection of myths and legends that were accumulated from many different nations. because yhwh (yahweh) the jewish god idea is not original to the jews. it's just final point to the ideas of gods. at the time people made up all sorts of different gods for different things with the intend to fear monger their people or the enemy into submission. that culminated ultimately in the idea of the one all powerful god that is attributed to abraham (a great great great grandfather of jesus after josef, jakob and isaak), though i don't really believe that it was his original idea either. it's pretty much impossible to get historically accurate information on this. and the jews themself, the muslims and the christians bascially stole that idea :D

According to Christinity, Jesus's father is god.

According to Islam, Jesus has no father, only mother. Therefore Jesus isn't the son of God but a total human being like Muhammed.

[genericname85]

well christianity isn't a history book or a biology book. it's a book of faith legends and mythology. it's fiction just like islam. and islam plays in that same fictional universe so of course they reference jesus and don't contradict that part of the story. of course god is not jesus's father. I don't know who jesus's father was. maybe josef. maybe someone else. no way to know. of course jesus is 100% a human. just like muhammed. but they are both cult leaders who used their ideology for their individual legitimation of political power. and as you see this is so damn effective that people believe that shit to this day. it's a testament to human incompetence.

All prophets were born in middle east.

Looks like a middle east religion culture.

[genericname85]

well the prophets of the abrahamic religion of course. but many characters in the bible and torah were actually adaptations from way older mesopotamian figures. i mean since the origins of the basis for judaism, christianity and islam all stem from mesopotamia, it makes sense that their prophets are from that area.

of course other cultural circles have other religions with other gods and/or prophets and preachers. like the indians have their very own hindu gods that are completely different from that. the greeks and the norse culutres also both independendly have developed gods and religions around celestial bodies.

and the chinese or more eastern Asian culture circle had taoism that was developed into buddhism, which had no gods whatsoever. not even prophets. just notable historical people who shared their wisdom in writing.

and then don't forget the azteks and the probably millions of different regional tribal religions all across the world.

[Guy13]

Jesus family line is from the Jews. Line of David. Jesus is God in the form of man who was born into this earth as a substitute and final sacrifice for the sins of man.
-Jesus lived a sinless life, was crucified, despite all of His miracles that only God could do, buried, and defeated death in His resurrection as documented by both secular Roman and religious historians.
—You too can know Jesus as Savior and Lord IF you will acknowledge to God that you Sin, request forgiveness, repent, and turn unto Him. Do these things on your own time and you will know what it is like to “Know of” God. He will reveal Himself unto you if you engage Him reading the Bible.

[laurieluvsit]

Because the Jewish people and their religion does not believe that He was the Messiah.

In fact, they didn't believe it so much that they crucified Him to prove it.

Christianity is the religion that He started for those that do believe, so in reality Christianity is a Jewish religion but is intended for the converted Jew and the Gentile (non-jew)

Great question Mr Vivaldi :)

[Snsl153]

Because it was actually St. Paul who got Christianity going during the first century, not Christ.

[Anonymous]

He was literally God in Human form, so he couldn't be Jewish, he doesn't have a religion, he IS the Religion. And Christianity is really a poor title, Followers of Jesus Christ would be more accurate, and we are not religious, we literally are just people who proclaim Jesus was God, and that he died to make atonement for the Sins of Humanity. Jesus was the same God who the Jews followed so there is where the connection lies. However, Jews are not saved and will spend eternity in hell unless they Proclaim Jesus was the Savior, the Messiah, at which point they are not Jewish anymore.

Furthermore, remember the Jews proclaimed him a heretic and were the ones who demanded he be executed. The Romans only obliged to keep the local populace from becoming rebellious.

[Vivaldi]

On American Forum, I've been called idiot saying Jesus is a god according to christian religion.

Why does everybody say different things?

[Vivaldi]

Besides, if Jesus' mother gave a birth, how is he God?

[Vivaldi]

How does a mother carry a god inside her?

[Opinion Owner]

Holy Spirit concieved him. He is both 100% Man and 100% God

God created all of existence, clearly he has the power to make himself in human form in a womans whomb.

Why do we trust him? Because he acurately fulfilled all the prophecies, and he preformed countless miracles in front of thousands of contemporary witnesses. Furthermore the Bible is by far the most trustworthy book you can find, literally millions of copies of it all the way back to the 2000’s BC

[Opinion Owner]

Also, when you really look into it, Jesus teachings are clearly the right way to live. His purpose on earth was simple. Show humans how to live a God Honoring life and give them purpose, and to provide permanent atonement for Sin, so that we could have personal relationship with him

Muslims say Quran is the only book that hasn't changed :D

[Vivaldi]

Muslims say that Jesus is neither God nor Son of God.

In Islam Religion, this is unacceptable.

[Vivaldi]

Therefore Muslims don't seem to worship the same God since Jesus is neither God nor Son of God according to islam religion.

[Opinion Owner]

Muslims are nothing but followers of some dumb illiterate charlatan from the desert who decided to twist christianity into a religon that fit his needs.

His needs were to conquer and to control the population, and keep women relegated to second class citizens at best

[Opinion Owner]

The Quran was not written until at least 150 years after Muhhamads death. And its clearly suspicious that some guy just so happened to be “the last prophet”. How conveniant when you dont want anyone challenging your religon. He did no miracles and fulfilled no prophecy. The biblical prohpecies were fulfilled 500 years earlier by Jesus

[Opinion Owner]

Any Book such as the Koran that promises rewards in the afterlife for killing and enslaving your enemy, is clearly a human made religon. Those are evil barbaric things.

[OlderAndWiser]

1. Jesus WAS a Jew. No "ifs" about it.

2. He was rejected by his own church as a fraud.

3. There is a sect of Judaism called Messianic Judaism and they accept the believe that Jesus was sent to us by God.

4. Christianity, as an organized religion, began with the crucifixion of Jesus.

[jshm2]

Because his religion isn't Christianity, neither were his family Christians.

Christianity is a cult turned religion founded by the pagan, Greek, Paul, based on a vision he allegedly had that he sold off to the goyim Romans.

Jesus hated Romans, and it's laughable that they are the majority of his followers nowadays!

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

The religion of Judaism (old testament law) was meant to bring us to the saving gospel of Jesus Christ.

The law of God condemns us as sinners and can't save us.

Jesus represents a new covenant of grace and mercy which is the gospel.

The name Christianity or Christians came from heathens in the Bible (book of Acts) to refer to followers of Christ as Christians who were originally known as "The Way".

[Guy__]

I don't think this site has any high level occultist users who could reliably explain to us the esoteric meaning of christ and history of christianity. Nobody even knows the truth about this.

[BCRanger10]

He was Jewish, but by His Passion, Death, and Resurrection, He fulfilled the Old Covenant and in so doing, established the New Covenant, which is the Catholic Church.

[CuriousMufuxka]

What the fuck is Chrisinity? So check it out, there was this dude named Chris and he was like fuck this supper. I'll be back in three days..

[Vivaldi]

You are pissed off because I mispelled?

[CuriousMufuxka]

Shit no! If anything I gave you a chance to creatively make a religion of your own. The "hell" is wrong with you?

[Vivaldi]

I don't have a religion.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

It’s not. Judaism is the FAKE version of Christianity. Like that Happy Feet rip-off called Tappy Toes

[Vivaldi]

Judaism came before Christinity.

Christinity accepts the previous religion.

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I think you just are too big of a simp for golden cows

[Dinosaursandanime65]

And even if it did in this world, it doesn’t mean it wasn’t already here by itself with no one to participate in it. You’re basically saying dinosaurs never existed

[ManHater]

Jews rejected Jesus as the messiah, you know this. The Jews killed their own messiah.

[Snsl153]

He wasn't the Messiah though. He was just a very naughty boy.
