"In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek" -
is an important message even if you are an atheist.
For it makes clear that humanity is one.
It is perhaps not really possible to be a "Jewish Christian" in a religious sense

"Jews for Judaism" is obviously amongst other things aimed at countering "Jews for Jesus", who obviously see themselves as "Jewish Christians".
I think it is not possible to be a "Jewish Christian" not because only Judaism is true but
because something like Unitarian Christianity is true.
"In Christ there is neither Jew nor Greek" - this means that we are all humans.
The covenant is rightly extended to all of humanity.
I therefore think it is possible to be a Jewish Christian only in the same way as it is possible to be
a Greek Christian.
The ethnicity is not relevant in religious terms. But it is clearly not necessarily wrong to
have an ethnicity, and to claim an ethnicity. But in religious terms it is humanity that is meaningful and sacred.
I have read "On Being a Jewish Christian" by Hugh Montefiore and it is clear that he may even agree
with this last point. It is undoubtedly an excellent and important book.
I think that this is one function and meaning of Christianity. Or it should be.
I do think that the incarnation is not really an essential part of Christianity. Jesus was a holy prophet.
Incarnational theology is not necessarily entirely misguided either, but it is not necessarily relevant.
It is not necessary for the truth of Christianity for Jesus to have been God.
He was undoubtedly a human being.
