Jesus Christ was born from a Jewish mother.

Jesus Christ had 12 Jewish apostles.


Jesus Christ told the Parable of the Good Samaritan for a reason:

[link to en.wikipedia.org]


Samaritans were hated by Jesus' target audience, the jewish people, to such a degree that the Lawyer's phrase "The one who had mercy on him" may indicate a reluctance to name the Samaritan. The Samaritans in turn hated the jewish people. Tensions were particularly high in the early decades of the first century because Samaritans had desecrated the Jewish Temple at Passover with human bones.

As the story reached those who were unaware of the oppression of the Samaritans, this aspect of the parable became less and less discernible: fewer and fewer people ever heard of them in any context other than as a description. Thus cast appropriately, the parable regains its message to modern listeners: namely, that an individual of a social group they disapprove of can exhibit moral behavior that is superior to individuals of the groups they approve.


Jesus was against the hatred and racial prejudice between Jewish people and Samaritans.




In the first years of Christianity, the two main "racial" groups of Christians were the Jewish Christians, and the Greek Christians.

But the Bible says, on Galatians 3:28:

"There is neither jewish nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

The reason for this to be in the Bible is: Christians should not be divided on racial groups. God loves everyone equally, and racial divisions should not exist. That's why the Bible warned that divisions between "Jewish and Greek" should not exist in the Early Christianity.
