It really boils down to your definition of "Jew".
Is it simply being a descendant of Judah? If so, that would indeed make Jesus a Jew.
Is it exclusively upholding the Torah, while refusing further Divine instructions (i.e. The Gospel)? If so, that would indeed make Jesus NOT a Jew.
In all cases, Jews want nothing to do with either Jesus or his mother and openly disrespect both.
Edit: Jesus would be considered antisemitic, by today's standards.
On the subject of Jesus then obviously "Jew" in the standard definition / context of that time.
Not true. Messianic Jews Believe in and accept Christ as their Messiah and many throughout history have just shed that label and have instead just adopted the label of Christian.
Messianic Jews: A dark fusion of faiths, where Jesus is the Messiah and the Torah is still the law. They walk the thin line between two worlds, shunned by both. Their numbers grow, a secret society hiding in plain sight.
Dude what are you talking about?
The Torah simply means the first five books of the Old testament. Genesis through Deuteronomy.
Every Christian should respect those and attempt to apply the general equity of what God was conveying with the wisdom, Justice, and righteousness of his law in our daily lives and society today.
I'm Reformed Baptist (I'm not Jewish and belief or heritage at all) which is a traditional Protestant and we, as well as most traditional Protestants like Presbyterians and others, would consider the first five books of the Bible to still be relevant today including God's law. The only thing that has passed away / that it's been fulfilled is the holiness code which are your dietary restrictions and other ceremonial laws.
Now that we're in Christ we're no longer justified by the law but by grace but as the Bible tells us multiple times all the way through the New testament, the law never passes away and is always valid.
Jesus is the Messiah and he said the Torah is still the law.
What you said is incredibly ignorant. I would encourage you to not take this as a personal attack or insult, But as a opportunity for you to actually grow intellectually.
