Indeed, Jesus was Jewish in the BEST sense of the name. Think back on Genesis 12:2, 3. Our Lord was TOTALLY blessed and - for all humanity for all time - He was/is a MIGHTY Blessing. And for those who curse Christ Jesus? uh-oh.
And in our modern day, I think of our dear Dr. Zelenko. Has he been blessed? I certainly think so. Is he a blessing? I think he is working his HEART out to be a blessing & healer to many (in SPITE of his own personal medical problems).
Does Dr. Z hate Lord Jesus? I don't think so but you'd have to ask him. Dr. Zelenko may not verbally acknowledge Christ as God - but from my point of view, the good Doctor seems to have a servant's heart, and his heart imitates Christ in many ways. It seems obvious to me that the God of Dr. Zelenko is the Father of Lord Jesus Christ. God is Three in One. LOL! If you worship The Father (El Adonai, El Shaddai - 'Hashem'), you also are worshiping the Son and the Holy Ghost. You don't get to tell the other two to 'butt out'.
Christ our Lord was/is a 'spiritual descendant' of Father Abraham: "Blessed to Be a Blessing". In at least that sense, Jesus was most DEFINITELY a 'Jew'. I think Dr. Z is also a 'spiritual descendant' of Father Abraham: "Blessed and absolutely, a Blessing". Is our dear Dr. a Jew? I think so but, you'd have to ask him.
It is easily proven by the genealogy of Jesus that He indeed was an Israelite. The word 'Jew' didn't even exist until the mis-transliteration of it into English in 16th Century. It stuck. This information is derived from English etymology.
The Latin word for the Roman province was 'Judea'. Judea in Roman times was a very mixed population. The predominant ethnicity in Judea was Edomite. The Hellenic Greeks who ruled this area prior to the Romans called the region 'Idumea', which means the land of the Edomites. King Herod was an Edomite. Anyone from Judea was referred to a 'Judean'. There were some Israelite remnants that dwelled in the Sea of Galilee area to which Jesus grew up.
The name Jew is analogous to the English appellative name "German" that refers to the people of Deutschland. The people of Deutschland (Germany) call themselves "Deutsch" (the people; race) or 'teuto' as in 'Teutonic' as they were called by the Gallic or 'Tuatha De Dannan', which means 'race or people of Dan'. Obviously, the Deutsch do not call themselves 'Germans'. Another example to the gross misappellation is the name -- 'Welsh'. This is an English word deriving from High German 'wallische' meaning 'strangers'. How utterly absurd for the alien German Angles to call the aborigine Brit population 'strangers'. The 'Welsh' call themselves among each other 'Khumri'. The Jews do not refer to themselves as Israelites. In the 1980 Jewish Almanac, 1st chapter, "Identity Crisis" and also found in the Jewish Encyclopedia IV, 1902, p 335), it states -- "Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an ancient Israelite a 'Jew' or to call a contemporary Jew an 'Israelite' or a 'Hebrew'".
