So I'm Curious About The Whole Christianity Versus Judaism Thing.

Be a bit more specific.

What's The Difference If Jesus Was A Jew? What's The Significance Of Circumcision? I Have A Lot Of Questions.

What's The Difference If Jesus Was A Jew?

Let Me Rephrase That. If Jesus Was Jewish, Did He Believe He Was The Son Of God, And Would That Make Him Not Technically Jewish?

Difference of what?
Circumcision was an outward sign of a covenant. it is required for Jews but not Christians.

Let Me Rephrase That. If Jesus Was Jewish, Did He Believe He Was The Son Of God, And Would That Make Him Not Technically Jewish?

Yes. No. Because all his humanness came from his mom who was Jewish.

What.

But Jews Believe That Jesus Is Not The Messiah?

No they don't.

Then What Would Jesus Be Classified As? Was He The First Christian Or Was He Jewish?

Not To Start A Fight. I'm Just Really Confused And No-One Has Been Able To Answer My Question.))

Then What Would Jesus Be Classified As? Was He The First Christian Or Was He Jewish?

He was both. First because Christianity is the fulfillment of Judaism. Not a completely new thing. Also Jewishness has to do with where you were born and who your ancestors were.

Huh. Okay.

I Think I Understand?

Being Christian wasn’t really a concept until after Jesus. Yes, Jesus was Jewish and so were his followers. Christianity came into play once the Jews were debating over if Jesus really was the savior or not. So they spilt into two religions, allowing them to have their own beliefs.

Ish. It was a set thing right after the Ressurection. It only took that long because Jesus died and the Apostles were like “Oh crap we had the wrong man.”

Oh.
