You claim, as a "fact", that someone who wrote this [0], identifies as Jewish?

Well, obviously not anymore, but since he belongs to a sect of Christianity (Hebraic Roots) that incorporates Torah law and certain Jewish traditions, can you blame me for getting a little confused?

I hadn't seen that article.

I can't speak to his beliefs or identity without further research, but Messianic Judaism is a thing, and most identify as Jewish (source: my wife belongs to such a congregation). From this writing, I'll assume that's his belief, as a common tenet is referring to Jesus by his Jewish name.

To be clear, "Jewish" can describe a person's religion, culture, or genetics, and other traits if you want to dip into stereotypes. It's definitely possible to be just one and not the others.
