Up until Jesus, Jews and Christian were the same thing. The old testament applies to both religions. If Isreal doesn't belong to the Jewish, then the same religious text is incorrect for both religions.
So the people that would eventually call themselves Christians, called themselves Jews... Or "the same thing." I knew my simplification wouldn't be good enough. People are too touchy.
I don't think they were Jews, they just lived under that old system until Jesus came and destroyed the old system. Probably why there's such a strong connection between Jews and Communism. They used to control everything, Christ took it away with a new value system and less authoritarian philosophy. To this day is it's the only philosophy that isn't overly individualistic or has Us/Them. Concepts must humans struggle with even thousands of years later.
It's been a 2,000 year thorn in their side. "king of the Jews" didn't mean Top Jew but guy who made Jews (the authoritarian establishment) his bitch.

Before Jesus there weren't Christians... Only those living under Jew's Laws of Moses.

Originally I said they were the same thing. I didn't call them Jews or Christians. You argued with me to prove my original point? Find a hobby dude.
