What?
Are you kidding?

Mormon answer = He was a white and delightsome = Caucasoid. With flowing Ginger locks that matched his beard. Possibly even Anglo-American?

My Opinion = He was an Arabic looking Jewish-Apostate, that as a young boy decided to question everything he was taught by his leaders and as a result he grew up with a reputation amongst jewish leaders, he claimed that he was quite literally the son of God, and he believed it, because what he taught made sense and made the Pharisees and Saducees look like total Phalluses telling fallacies, he got quite a following, him and his cousin decided they had had enough of manual labour and paying excessive tithes and offerings as well as taxes, so they decided to set up their own religion.

True Story! I just thought of, by the Goalie Host.
The rest is a conspiracy of the philosophies of men mingled with Scripture, a hint of mythology, rumour and gossip, but ultimately HISTORY.

I do not believe it is ever specified in the scriptures.
But one can likely assume He was raised in/practiced Judaism given His statements from:
Matthew 5:17-18
Christianity, per se, really evolved from the Gentiles being absorbed into His ministry.
But proposing He was a "Jew" is interesting, i think, when contrasted with His declarations in John 8:23 and 18:36

Jesus was born to a Jewish mother and a Jewish stepfather (both of which could trace their linage back to King David). He was raised in the Jewish tradition. At the age of 12 He visited Herod's temple at Jerusalem and taught there as one well beyond his years... Jesus understood and fulfilled the meaning of the various Jewish feast days.

He was born to Jewish parents. The Jews are still commanded by their God to keep the Feast days.

I know Jewish Christians who do still follow the various Feast day ritualism. This is not something a Christian needs to do. Only if he feels lead to.

I'm reeling! Holy catfish! You actually said that? I've never done this, but considering YOUR penchant for doing it and the obvious idiocy of what you just said... CFR!
