Our Messiah (John 1:41), and Lord, Jesus Christ (2 Thessalonians 1:12),
was born, raised, lived His earthly life, and rose as a Jew:
Genesis 49:10
Luke 1:32, 2:22-40
John 1:11, 4:9, 18:35
Acts 2:30
Romans 1:3
2 Timothy 2:8.
He had a Jewish mother:
"Mary’s genealogy is supplied in Luke 3:23-38. Dr. Henry Morris explains how we know this genealogy is Mary’s:
“Joseph was clearly the son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16, so this verse [Luke 3:23—says “son of Heli”] should be understood to mean “son-in-law of Heli.” Thus, the genealogy of Christ in Luke is actually the genealogy of Mary, while Matthew gives that of Joseph."

He was born King of the Jews (Luke 2:2).
He died King of the Jews (John 19:19).
He died for all people (John 3:15-17).
We are one in him (Galatians 3:28).
He is still Jewish and will remain so for ever (Revelation 5:5).
Based on these scriptures,:
And I will make of thee a great nation,
and I will bless thee,
and make thy name great;
and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all the families on earth be blessed.
Genesis 12:2-3
It hath pleased them verily;
and their debtors they are.
For if the Gentiles have been made
partakers of their spiritual things,
their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Romans 15:27
you can show the thousands of people who read the Baptist Board
along with You Know Who by making a simple declaration;
and by doing so await your blessing.
Like this one: God bless Jews and Israel.
Apparently, in the last thread with a very similar title, many forum members were unclear as to why the above request is on the Board.
Don't you want the blessing God offers in Genesis 12:3?
Specifically, "And I will bless them that bless thee"
You might ask if the "thee" is Abraham, the physical nation of Israel, or the Israelites who believe(d) in God.
It doesn't really matter to me although I see some prejudice against Jews on this board mainly by people who either don't think that Jesus is Jewish now or that He never really was Jewish.
When we see Him in the future you can argue about it with Him.
Look at this scripture and then say He is not forever Jewish:
And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Judah,
the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book,
and to loose the seven seals thereof.
