If you do not believe in Jesus, He doesn't consider you a Jew:

I absolutely do not believe in J.C. And I could care less whether he considers me a Jew. G-d considers me a Jew, and His is the only opinion that counts to me.

Oh but you do, because you're mouthing off against Christians who simply believe in the holy scriptures. You should be confident enough that you wouldn't care.

I concur 100% with what EinNYC said here. G-d set down His laws and precepts well over 1,000 years before my distant cousin the carpenter ever walked the Earth. He (G-d) made an everlasting covenant with the Children of Israel, and He is not a human that he lies.

Oh, and to address G_P_H’s observations regarding the lack of a Temple, etc.: You know, parents sometimes punish children who don’t obey them - sometimes quite severely. Maybe you should consider that, plus the everlasting covenant, plus the educational value to the rest of humanity (which YOU clearly haven’t taken advantage of) of a badly punished people who STILL, DESPITE THE MANY HARDSHIPS, believe in His words and promises. FYI, that carpenter cousin of mine DID so believe (though he clearly didn’t live in a world that lacked the Temple); it was only his followers who changed the meaning of his words (which were intended to condemn the corruption of the Roman-dominated Temple hierarchy and lead the Jewish people back to the righteous ways of their ancestors - nothing more and nothing less).

I trust in G-d alone, not the words of men.
