I suppose it depends on what you mean by “Jewish”; the modern Jewish identity is essentially centred around rejecting Jesus Christ as the Messiah. In that sense, Jesus is not part of the modern concept of “Jewishness” at all.barnhart wrote: ↑Sat Mar 30, 2024 5:18 pm Jesus will always be the lion of the tribe of Judah and the son of David. I think he is Jewish eternally. The question of ethnicity in the resurrection is about the type of new life that will be. If you imagine a disembodied, spirit existence then ethnic consideration is reduced. More continuity with the world as we know it increases the role ethnicity, and other things that make us human might play.
Of course, one could define it other ways.
