It occurred to me last night - there's a lot of stock in Jesus being the Jewish Messiah - but, why does that matter if his teachings were for the gentiles, not the Jews, and therefore Jewish beliefs are not important? In other words, if Christians are not Jews, why would it matter whether Jesus fulfilled a Jewish prophecy or not? If Jesus had not been seen as a Jewish Messiah, but instead one for a Celtic or Egyptian or Greek or Norse religion, that would also have been acceptable?
Just thought I'd ask.
