everyone accepts that jesus was jewish, i was having a convo with someone the other day about this, neither of us knew why was he a fertilized egg placed in marys womb? like god made the egg and put it there? would make him 0% jew by my estimation or did god fertilize one of marys eggs, making him half jew/ half god? do they teach this kinda stuff in sunday school? inquiring minds want to know whats the deal yo
if a white surrogate mother could give birth to a 100% sudanese baby, that baby wouldnt be considered white would it?
The only real question that one needs to answer to know whether or not one is a Jew is "Is your mother a Jew?"
Do Chinese moms raise Jews? Do Zulu moms raise jews? Do Polynesian moms raise Jews? We could go on but three negatives should be enough.
Wook is right. Being Jewish is not about DNA or faith, it's about the mom being Jewish. It's a matriarchal thing. (or if you convert and it's approved by rabbis). You can not believe in god, that's fine, so long as your mom was a Jew, you would be too. Perhaps if you take on a different religion that would nullify your Jewishness, but that's about it. Practicing or non-practicing Jew, that's about it. So, I would say that Jesus was a non-practicing Jew. God could be Muslim, Hindu or just some cool surfer dude, if Mary was Jewish, Jesus was Jewish. Of course, I have no idea if Mary was, that was the dominant religion at the time, but I don't think there is any evidence what Mary's religion was.
Is the Chinese mom a Jew? Is the Zulu mom a Jew? Is the Polynesian mom a Jew? The standard applies regardless of ethnicity or religious beliefs.
