cappie Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If Jesus is God, and Jesus is Jewish, is not God Jewish? I can't find this in the Summa Theologica... Don't know about the Summa but God did not have to be Jewish for Jesus to be. As I understand it, in Christian thought, Jesus is the incarnation of God in the flesh. As a result, Jesus had dual components. He was 100% divine and 100% human as opposed to God the Father who is entirely divine. One of Jesus's human characteristics was that he was Jewish. Correspondingly, one of his divine characteristics, according to Christianity, is that he healed people, even in contravention to Pharisaic (contemporary Jewish) Law. Jesus's Judaism does not imply or indicate God's religion and in Christianity, God is explicitly the God of All Peoples at All Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
