Yes, there are some black people who are Jewish. If for example a Jewish woman had a child with a black man, that child would be Jewish (as it passes through the mothers blood), if her female child, or her male child with a Jewish woman then went on to have children they would also be Jewish and so on down the line. Even if there was only the one 'Original' Jewish ancestor.

But it also counts if the father of the child is a Jew alsp.

No. There were no Jewish people before Abraham. He came from Ur in southern Iraq. Black people come from Africa. People lived in Ur before Abraham.

When Abraham visited Egypt, Africa was full of people.

My understanding of the word gentile is that it is any person who is not of the Jewish faith. If that definition is correct, then no, as there are black Jews from Ethiopia.

There are African American Jews, but not all African Americans are Jews. Most are Protestants, some are Muslim, and (like many other Americans) some have adopted new religions or drifted into being non-religious. To hold that some racial group are the real Jews is generally racist, whether that group is the White Anglo Saxons (as the Christian Identity movement holds) or all Blacks (as some Black Israelites hold).

What is the opinion Jewish and gentiles?

Jewish people were more religious people, they considered themselves as the children of Abrahamand gods on chosen people. The gentiles were not holy .Correction:Jews do not believe that Gentiles are not holy. This is an error. Orthodox Judaism states that Gentiles have a huge advantage over Jews because they only have 7 laws to achieve holiness, whereas Jews have 613.Otherwise, Judaism makes no comments whatsoever on other religious beliefs.

What is the difference between Christians and gentiles?

Generally speaking gentiles are people that are not Jewish. However that is with the exception of some Jews that are also Christians. Normally, in the New Testament at least, the contrast is made between Jews (God's chosen people) and Gentiles (Non-Jews). Most Christians are in fact Gentiles at the same time, so the two groups are not exclusive. The same would apply to Jewish Christians. Of course it must not be forgotten that many Gentiles are also not Christian and so there would be a difference in terms of them accepting or not accepting Jesus Christ.
