Jesus Christ was NOT a jew.
The following is a little lengthy, but rest assured, that if you're capable of reading and
understanding it, you will learn the truth, and the truth will set you free.
Was Jesus Christ a Jew by Religion?
The answer is clearly "NO". Jesus had the true religion of the Old Testament, found in the Law and
the prophets; and He constantly rebuked the Jews for having abandoned this for Judaism under the
Babylonian Talmud (which in His day was called "The Tradition of the Elders"😉. In Matthew 5:17-18 He
said "Think not that I come to destroy the Law or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to
fulfill; for verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no
wise pass from the Law till all be fulfilled".
Jesus constantly rebuked the Jews for their apostasy, for setting aside the Laws of God in favor of
The Tradition of the Elders. This Talmudic Judaism was very different from the religion which we
find in the Old Testament. The late Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Chief Rabbi of the United States, said
"The return from Babylon, and the adoption of the Babylonian Talmud, marks the end of Hebrewism, and
the beginning of Judaism". Since the true religion of the Old Testament was the religion of the real
Hebrews (not Jews), the learned Rabbi was quite right in calling it "Hebrewism" and noting that it
came to its end when the Talmud was adopted; and that this was the beginning of a new religion -
Judaism (or Babylonianism).
Was Jesus Christ a Jew by Race?
To answer this, we must trace the racial ancestry of both Jesus and the Jews. Jesus Christ was a
pure-blooded member of the Tribe of Judah - and no true Judahite was a Jew by race, as we shall see.
Jesus' ancestry is given in both Matthew 1 and Luke 3. Both of them show that He was a descendant of
the Patriarch Judah, through one of his twin sons, Pharez; by His mother Mary, He came through the
line of David, and Nathan, the brother of Solomon, as traced in the third chapter of Luke. Jesus
Christ was therefore a pure-blooded Israelite, of the Tribe of Judah, as Paul says in Romans 9:4-5.
Now let us trace the racial descent of the Jews. First we must note that the Jews were not - and are
not - Israelites. Yes, I know that you have been taught that "Jew" and "Israelite" were the same
thing; but no greater lie was ever taught, as we shall see. Let us get the first proof of this from
Jesus Christ Himself. He stated plainly in Matthew 15:24: "I am not sent but unto the Lost Sheep of
the House of Israel". Therefore, He was sent to those who were of Israel - but not to others.
Accordingly, when He sent His twelve disciples out to preach His gospel, Matthew 10:5-6 records that
He told them this: Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye
not; but go rather to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel". And He added: "Ye shall not have gone
over the cities of Israel till the Son of man be come" (Matthew 10:23). They could have gone over
all the cities of Judea in a month; so it was obvious that the cities of Israel, to which He
referred, were the cities of the so-called Lost Tribes who had already entered Europe in their long
migration. But take careful note of Jesus Christ's own words:" "I am not sent but unto the Lost
Sheep of the House of Israel". If the Jews were any part of Israel, then they would have been some
of His sheep; but He says that they are not.
In the 10th chapter of John, Jesus says: "I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of
mine". But He tells the Jews - and it says "Jews" - "But ye believe not, because ye are not of my
sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me". Note
carefully those words. He does not say that the reason that the Jews are not His sheep is that they
don't believe, and that they could become His sheep just by changing their minds. To the contrary,
He says that the reason they don't believe is that they are not of His sheep. He knows His sheep,
and knows that the Jews are not of His sheep.
Now that we know the Jews are not any part of any Tribe of Israel, let's find out who the Jews are.
Let's trace their ancestry. We find that the true line of His people must be kept free from
mongrelization with the neighboring Canaanites. Accordingly, Genesis 24:3-4 records that Abraham,
took great pains to see that his son, Isaac, should marry only a woman of his own people. Likewise,
Genesis 27:46 through 28:1 records that Isaac also required that his son, Jacob (the father of the
Israelites) should also marry only within his own race line. This law had been obeyed for several
centuries, to keep the race line pure. But one of the sons of Israel, the patriarch Judah, father of
the Tribe of Judah, violated it by marrying a Canaanite woman, who bore him three sons, of whom only
one, Shelah, survived and left descendants (see Genesis 38:1-5). This half-breed , mongrel line must
be distinguished from Judah's pure-blooded descendants by his twin sons Pharez and Zarah. Judah
fathered Pharez and Zarah by his daughter-in-law Tamar. Although born out of wedlock, they were of
pure Israel stock on both sides, and from one of them, Pharez, Jesus Christ was descended. The
descendants of these twins are the real Tribe of Judah.
The half-breed son, Shelah, accompanied Judah into Egypt, and in the following centuries left many
descendants. They were in the Exodus, and accompanied the armies of Israel into the promised land
(see Genesis
46:12 and Numbers 26:20). However, they bred true to type; they were half-breed Canaanites, lacking
the spiritual insight which God gave to His own people, so they remained idolators,
Baal-worshippers. In I Chronicles 4:21, you will find them referred to as "the House of Ashbea".
"Ashbea" is a corruption of "Ish-baal" or "man of Baal" and shows that they were still idolators,
unable to perceive the God of Israel. So these Shelanites, half-breeds, formed one of the peoples
of the land, who made up the Jews in the time of Jesus Christ.
Another alien racial group who became part of the Jews were the "mixed multitude" which Exodus 12:38
says left Egypt along with the children of Israel. The Hebrew word here translated "mixed" is the
word "EREB", meaning half-breed or mongrel. During the two centuries in Egypt, many had violated the
divine law against race-mixing, and these were the result. On the Exodus, when the going became hard
in the wilderness, the Bible records that this "mixed multitude" made a lot of trouble, and led some
of the Israelites into rebellion (see Numbers 11:4-6). This mongrelized group was still in the land
after the return from the Babylonian captivity; for we find them listed in Nehemiah 13:3 as still in
the land, and still a source of trouble. They also were among the Jews in Christ's time.
Then there were the various Canaanite peoples who were still in the land, chief of whom were the
Jebusites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, and the Amorites. When the Israelites were
trying to enter the Promised Land, God gave them specific instructions to completely drive out or
exterminate all of these Canaanites, saying: "When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land
whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the
Gergashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the
Jebusites, seven nations mightier and greater than thou; and when the Lord thy God shall deliver
them before thee: thou shalt smite them and utterly destroy them; nor show any mercy unto them … But
of the cities of these people which the Lord thy God doth give thee for an inheritance, thou shalt
save alive nothing that breatheth; but thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites, and
the Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, as the Lord thy
God hath commanded thee" (See Numbers
47:50-56; Deuteronomy 7:1-6; 20:16-18).
And there were the Edomites. You will remember that Esau and Jacob were twin brothers; but Esau was
a man of such low character that we have God's own testimony in MalachI 1:2-3: "Was not Esau Jacob's
brother? Saith the Lord. Yet I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau". Jacob kept the race-line pure, and
God changed his name to Israel and made him the father of God's own chosen people, Israel. But Esau
married two Canaanite wives and one Ishmaelite wife, and left only half-breed, mongrel children (see
Genesis 26:34-35; 27:46; and 36:2). As his mongrel descendants could not marry into the true Semitic
line, he moved out from among them, and went down to Mount Seir, the rugged range of mountains
south-east of the Dead Sea, and this land was called "Edom" (or occasionally by the Grecianized form
of the word "Idumea"😉; thereafter, his descendants were called "Edomites" (see Genesis 33:16 and
Genesis 36:1-9).
There they had a long and troublesome history. Esau's grandson was Amalek, father of the Tribe of
Amalek, who were such an evil lot that, in Exodus 17:14-16, God said that He would have perpetual
war with Amalek until they were all destroyed. The Edomites constantly harassed the southern portion
of Israel until King Saul beat them off, about 1087
B.C. But Saul disobeyed God's command to exterminate them, and for this disobedience, God deposed
him as king, in favor of David (see I Samuel
15:1-26). But even David didn't exterminate them, and there was a long history of wars between Edom
and Israel (later with Judah). You will find it in II Kings, chapters 8 and 14, and II
Chronicles, chapters 20 and 25. The whole book of Obadiah is devoted to God's condemnation of
Edom's treacherous attack upon the Kingdom of Judah when Judah was being conquered by Babylon.
During the Babylonian captivity of Judah, the land lay practically empty; and during this period,
the people of Edom, partly from opportunity and partly from pressure against them from the east,
moved into the vacant southern half of the Kingdom of Judah (see article "Edom" in Funk & Wagnall's
New Standard Bible Dictionary, pages 198-199, and Scribner's Dictionary of the Bible, Vol. 1, pages
644-646. From this new area, they continued to harass the little nation which returned from Babylon.
By about 142 B.C., the returned exiles of Judah won complete independence under the Maccabean line
of Kings; and about 120 B.C., John Hyrcanus, one of the Maccabean kings, conquered the Edomites. He
too, instead of exterminating them, took them into his kingdom, offering them full citizenship if
they would give up their paganism and adopt the religion of Judaism. This they did, and from 120
B.C. they were full citizens of the kingdom (see Josephus, "Antiquities of the Jews", Book 13,
Chapter 9. And see also The Jewish Encyclopedia, article "Edom", Vol. V, page 41).
By 69 B.C., incompetent leadership and intrigue within the Maccabean monarchy, together with the
rising power of Rome in western Asia, gave opportunity to Antipater (also called Antipas), an
Edomite chieftain, founder of the Herodian family, to rise to power. By bribery, boldness, and
military skill, he gained the favor of Rome, and the Romans made him Procurator (Governor) of
Judea. His son, Herod I, beginning as Governor of Galilee, used the same methods to secure
appointment as King of Judea in 40 B.C., and by 37 B.C. he gained complete control of Judea. He
maintained himself in power by extreme ruthlessness and bribery, for which he taxed the people very
heavily. This is the same Herod who had all the little male children in Bethlehem murdered, trying
to murder Jesus Christ.
His son Herod Archelaus, held the Governorship (the Romans didn't trust him with the crown) for ten
years of astonishingly evil misrule, from 4
B.D. to 6 A.D., after which the Romans convicted him of crimes and removed him; and thereafter Judea
was governed by Roman Procurators (of whom Pontius Pilate was No. 6). Nevertheless, the Romans
left practically complete power of local government in the hands of the Herodian Edomites, who
had complete control of the Temple and power to enforce all their local laws. (Remember how
Pontius Pilate tried to get out of condemning Jesus Christ, telling the Jews: "Take YE Him and
judge Him according to YOUR law" (John 18:31).
The Edomite Jews could say that Abraham was an ancestor of theirs, through Esau, as they did in John
8:33; but this Hebrew blood through Esau had been diluted to the vanishing point by 1700 years of
marrying only people of Canaanite racial stocks. Therefore, Jesus Christ rebuked them for falsely
claiming to be still of Abrahamic (therefore inferentially of Israelite) lineage, for He told them
in John 8:44 "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it".
By carefully observing the 8th chapter of John, verses 31-47, we learn the following: These were
Jews to whom Jesus was speaking, and the Bible identifies them as Jews. And in the Jewish
Encyclopedia, the article on Edom concludes with the words "The Edomites today are found in modern
