Well that is confusing, and surely cannot be correct.
Jesus is not Jewish, but is a jew which is surely short for Jewish.
And surely there was no bible until jesus came along, as there was no christianity
Yet there was Judaism, way before Jesus or Christianity, so presumably some sort of Jewish holy scripture
Besides that, you say Jesus was a Jew, presumably Joseph and Mary were Jews, Moses ( you call them the books of Moses) was a Jew, Moses took the Jews to freedom. The text I believe was originally written in a Jewish language.
There's usually some mention of Solomn somewhere along the line, whome I believe was a Jewish King. Many of the churches in England, have a seal of Solomon or star of David on the clock, which is on the tower. Many of the people who go to church, also go to a recreation of the Temple of Solomon.
Now I'm not Albert Einstein, but I'm sensing a common thread
Thus I try to keep an open mind, and not just rely on an old book from 1 branch of religion, that generally it's followers cannot even agree amongst themselves.
Sure Jesus had a big influence on a lot of people. But there were many more people and parts of the world, that he didn't have an influence on. The Americas, the 2 Poles, Acrica, Australia, and much of Asia ( I.e. Iran, Iraq, India, China, Thaliand and so on ). So really what did he have an influence on, a bit of Asia and Europe, hardly the whole world
As to what happens to the dead, I don't know. But maybe there is the possibility of more than 1 outcome
Jew is short for Judah. Judah was a son of Jacob who's name was changed to Israel. Jewish is not a biblical term or nationality. Jew(ish) means to act like a jew. If I say you are childish then it only means, that you behave like one. Further more, it's not possible to convert from a nationality to a religion. If a Chinese converts to Christianity he will still be a Chinese. The same goes for the Ashkenazies who converted to Judaism. They can't become Jews why they call themselves Jewish. It's the seed and bloodline that determines the nationality.
Solomon was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah. It's important to understand the lineage. The New Testament came approximately 200 years after Christ. Prior to that Torah/Tenak was the main script. Jesus was teaching Moses while he walked the earth. Not presumably, both were Jews.
Moses was not a Jew but an Israelite of the tribe of Levi. He was a prophet and levitical priest. He did not free the jews only, but the twelve tribes of Israel from the hands of Pharao.
There is no such thing as a "Jewish language". The real Jews spoke Hebrew and Aramaic. The Jewish people in Israel speak Yiddish which is actually an European Language, originated from the old German language. The Jewish people are often called Ashkenazi because their biblical lineage goes back to a man named Gomer who was the son of Japhet.
Jesus audience was the Israelites, his people. That's the nation he came for. He had no interest in other nations and was hated by the nations, you just mentioned. He came not for the whole world. After the reign of King Solomon the 12 tribes was splitted into two separate Kingdoms. 3 of the tribes became known as Judah and those were the people who followed Christ. The other tribes were not in Rome with Christ but migrated to what we call today the Americas. Incase these confuses you; I only deal with the bible. No christianity.
At a certain period of his life, Solomon went into Idolatry and was worshipping the Gods of his many wives. The Seal and star of David are Pagan symbols and among others, the freemasons and Rosicrucians, adopted some symbols into their rites. The extend of his Idolatry is not known, and the bible doesn't deal with it.
Life is a cycle and as such it repeats itself.
