How could Jesus be a Jew when the word came into existent and use a 1,000 years after he died?

Jesus was of the Tribe of Judah...therefore He is a Son of Judah.

You do believe in science don't you?

"Here, we propose the first benchmark to test claims that Jews are genomically distinct from non-Jews. Most members of academia, the public, and industry invited to prove those claims did not partake the benchmark, and those who attempted to identify Jews from genomic data failed. Our study was limited both by the simulated recombination process and the relatively small number of autosomal markers, and although these markers were used to support claims in favor of biological Jewishness, we cannot dismiss the existence of a hypothetical “Jewish marker” elsewhere in the genome. Moreover, our benchmark was designed to infer only a binary notion of Jewishness, corresponding to the law of Return and the Halacha, not the innovative depiction of discrete Jewishness, though such claims also derive from the binary notion of Jewishness."

"This is now the case with two central Judeo-Christian narratives: the first, proposed less than two centuries ago by historian Heinrich Graetz, depicts the origin of modern-day Jews as the lineal descendants of the Biblical Judaeans. This narrative lacks historical ( Sand, 2009) and linguistic ( Wexler, 1993, 2011) evidence. The second, rooted in first century Christian myths that were internalized by Jewish scholars, alludes to the “Roman Exile” that followed the destruction of Herod's temple (70 A.D.) and introduced a massive Jewish population to Roman lands ( Yuval, 2006). Such a population transplant, however, also lacks historical and linguistic support ( Horon, 2000; Yuval, 2006; Sand, 2009; Wexler, 2016)."

These finding are supported by ancient DNA evidence showing 0–3% Levantine ancestry and a dominant Iranian ancestry (88%) in modern-day AJs ( Das et al.).

ironic that Jews are really Persian in lineage (or 88% of the 90% of 13,000,000 Jews in the world)
