ArchivesRe: precision
in reply to a message by Miss Claire
I am Jewish and always will be and I do believe that Jesus is God The Messiah ( not that that fact has anything to do with this space ). And I am not considered by my family in Mashiach to be a Messianic Jew. Even though I am and was raised very orthodox in my religion, because of my faith I have adapted myself to God's Law and Word and so my own Jewish religion is quite non-traditional in most groups. Just to set the record straight; please do not lump people all in one boat with broad generalizations - thank you.
In Jewish tradition what is commonly seen spelled in English Rebecca does have a common traditional meaning and it agrees with God's Word and what He says it means too.

Well, since people often ask me if Jews believe in Jesus, I have to precise that they don't. In fact that's the main difference between a Jew and a Christian. If you believe in Jesus *Christ* then you are a *Christian*.

To *be* precise, Miss Claire, I ascertain that when you here use the term "Jew" you are of course actually referring to an 'adherent of Judaism'. There are generally two modern connotations implied by this name, "Jew": one being religious, a person adhering to the religion Jüdāism; the other being ethnic, a descent of the defunct nation Jüdæa (a Hebrew individual). I’ve noticed that when people speak of those who are 'Jewish', this differential can tend to become *imprecise*. Here’s a confusing statement: Jesus was a Jew though he wasn’t Jewish. To clarify, when in human form Jesus was a Jew ethnically, and while he did adhere to what is written in haTanakh he was nonetheless not a Jew religiously-- that is to say, an adherent of Judaism.

I remember having read that in the early days it was not clear whether Christianity was a Judaic sect, or a separate religion. In fact wasn't it Paul who claimed contra Peter that one did not have to obey the Jewish dietary etc. customs to be a Christian.
Was Jesus any less Jewish than the leaders of other messianic sects from that period? Did he himself (Since some believe he was totally human and totally divine simultaneously, I hesitate in saying `human form') believe that he was not Jewish?
This is off-topic already ...
