no one knows so i just say its just because there is not enough religions
Answer:
For the same reason all Jewish believers are not Jews. Jesus was born in the Kingdom of Judah therefore He was a Jew. One can be born in the USA and be a Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu, Atheist, etc. The term 'Christian' denotes a follower of Christ and not a nationality.

∙ 13y agoLet's take that argument and apply it to a different situation to see how ridiculous it is.
"Michael Jordan is black. Therefore, all Michael Jordan fans are black."
There was actually some dissension on this topic in the early Church, with some people believing that non-Jews must, for example, be circumcised before becoming followers of Christ and others saying that Jesus represented the perfection and completion of the Mosaic law, and that therefore there was no longer any particular need to conform to it. The latter view eventually won out for the most part, with only a few particular prohibitions surviving. For example, the Ten Commandments are generally considered to more or less apply to Christians as well as Jews, at least to the extent that they are simply more specific versions of the commandments given by Jesus as the "greatest" commandments: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength" and "Love your neighbor as yourself."

Do you except Jews as a Christians?
Jews are not Christians. Christians believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. Jews (and remember- Jesus was a Jew himself) believe that the Messiah has not yet come.
Why do Christians support israel?
Christians believe that our religion was brought to us by the Lord Jesus Christ who was a Jew, and the first Christians were all Jews. The Jews were the apple of God's eye and are still very precious to Him.
Did Joseph and Mary worship their son?
No because (Christians POV , Judaism POV) Jesus was raised to be Jew and his parents were Jews too.
Why are most Jews not Christians?
Jews are not 'Christians' because if they were, they would be known as 'Christians', and not as 'Jews'. To put it in other words: As a 'Jew', the individual is, by definition, a 'Jew' and not a 'Christian'. Were that individual to become a 'Christian', he would then no longer be a 'Jew'. By the same token, my Aunt is not a bicycle, and my dogs are not watermelons.
Was Jesus a Jew If he was, why did he become Catholic?
To call Jesus a Christian or a Catholic is anachronistic. Christians are followers of Jesus, and Catholics are a kind of Christian, but those things did not exist in the time of Jesus. All of Jesus's disciples, if you asked them, would certainly define themselves as Jews and would have defined Jesus as a Jew. Before Paul's program of outreach to non-Jews, the entire early church was seen by themselves and by other Jews as Jewish. Only when Bar Kochba, another claimant to the title of Messiah, led a revolt against Rome in the year 132 did Jewish Christians and Jews complete their divorce.
Did Jesus consider himself a christian or Jew?
Niether. He is the God of the Christians and the Jews. He doesn't have a religion as He is the centerpiece of worship to all who will come to Him (Acts 17:30,31).
Where all Christians originaly Jewish?
No. Jesus, while a Jew himself, explicitly taught that his New Gospel did not require one to be a Jew. Thus, to be a follower of Jesus' teaching, one did not have to first be a Jew. In fact, the vast majority of converts to the new Christianity were Gentiles (i.e. non-Jews).

What do 'Jews for Jesus' believe are they just Christians who claim to be Jews?
'Jews for Jesus' is an organization for Jews who actually converted from Judaism to Christianity. (Follow the web page below for their beliefs)Answer:The Jews for Jesus organization was created by the Southern Baptist Convention to replace its failed mission to the Jews. The goal behind the creation of Jews for Jesus was to target Jews for conversion to Christianity by claiming that it is possible to remain a Jew while worshiping Jesus - this is a false claim. In reality, the majority of people who belong to Jews for Jesus have no Jewish heritage whatsoever. They are Christians who claim to be Jews. According to Jewish belief, one is either fully Jewish or not Jewish, By accepting Jesus, a person would be going over to Christianity.
Was Jesus not a Jew himself?
Jesus was a Jew. However, the government at that time disagreed with his views and teachings and the Jews believed he was a false messiah.
