 Romans is also a weird choice but for different reasons 
 Romans 9,Paul laments that his kinsmen according to the flesh (the Jews) have by and large been cut off from the covenant of God, and are accursed. Romans 11 he explains that they were broken off from the vine of God's covenant and Gentiles were grafted in, but that they can be easily grafted back in, should they turn to Christ. 
 This has nothing to do with the fact that Jesus was Jewish. It doesn’t say anywhere in Romans or Galatians or the entire Bible that Jesus wasn’t Jewish. Again, your choices are weird and irrelevant to the discussion at hand. 
 You seem to think that the discussion at hand is whether or not Jesus is Jewish, with the assumption that @verita84 and myself both believe that he is not, but looking back through the conversation, neither of us ever made that claim, so how can that be the discussion at hand? 
 I made the claim Jesus is Jewish in response to the idiotic “nonbelievers are Jewish” which would mean Jesus, and majority of earliest followers (12 apostles, Saint Paul, Saint Mary Magdalene, etc etc), are nonbelievers. It’s bogus hater nonsense and in direct opposition to the gospel truth. Furthermore all sorts of paganism exists and atheism exists. But no; weirdos just want to pick fights with me for saying Jesus is Jewish and then idk ig not really follow the discussion at hand. 🙄
