But, if I recall correctly, Jesus was a Jew, preached and taught to Jews, lived in a Jewish world, read the Torah in Jewish synagogues, and died as a Jew.

Can you point me to any documents that Jesus wrote, explaining his beleifs in his own words?

Imagine that, the only prophet who never wrote anything. How convenient!

I'm not sure of the point of your question. The same could be asked about Socrates or Mohammed, or most of the Biblical prophets. All I know is that the followers of Jesus were willing to die for what they said they remembered him saying. Also, we have no better-attested documents of the ancient world than the Bible, including the New Testament. Hundreds of VERY ancient manuscripts. The same cannot be said of, say, Aristotle.

God never wrote when he created the world in 7 days. He let Moses write for him what we needed to know. Jesus didn't have to write his words, he spoke them out, just like God. The words themselves have the inherent power of God upon them, and will come to pass without fail.
