Jesus was born a Jew and died a Jew. He was never a Christian. His ideas, however, were used by his followers to create Christianity after he died. So his disciples were the first Christians, not him. Also, he was never reincarnated, as it is impossible. His father was not God, as there is no such thing as God. His real, biological father was Joseph of Nazareth.
