Is it possible that Jesus Christ is a Mesopotamian God?
From a little thought and research on Jesus Christ is sounds like this dude is a authentic Jew as he is Mesopotamian because he wasn't mixed with any other ethnicity.

The Bible reveals that man’s original home was “a garden in Eden.” (Ge 2:8) Its indicated location is relatively near the place of mankind’s early post-Flood civilization. The view generally accepted by scholars is expressed by P. J. Wiseman as follows: “All the real evidence we have, that of Genesis, archaeology, and the traditions of men, points to the Mesopotamian plain as the oldest home of man. Far Eastern civilization, whether Chinese or Indian, cannot compete with this land in the antiquity of its peoples, for it can easily sustain its claim to be the cradle of civilization.”—New Discoveries in Babylonia About Genesis, 1949, p. 28.
The inspired Record says: “But the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way. During the time his mother Mary was promised in marriage to Joseph, she was found to be pregnant by holy spirit before they were united.” (Mt 1:18) Prior to this, Jehovah’s angelic messenger had informed the virgin girl Mary that she would ‘conceive in her womb’ as the result of God’s holy spirit coming upon her and His power overshadowing her. (Lu 1:30, 31, 34, 35) Since actual conception took place, it appears that Jehovah God caused an ovum, or egg cell, in Mary’s womb to become fertile, accomplishing this by the transferal of the life of his firstborn Son from the spirit realm to earth. (Ga 4:4) Only in this way could the child eventually born have retained identity as the same person who had resided in heaven as the Word, and only in this way could he have been an actual son of Mary and hence a genuine descendant of her forefathers Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and King David and legitimate heir of the divine promises made to them. (Ge 22:15-18; 26:24; 28:10-14; 49:10; 2Sa 7:8, 11-16; Lu 3:23-34;) It is likely, therefore, that the child born resembled its Jewish mother in certain physical characteristics.

What place did Abraham come from? (Ur of Chaldees AKA Mesopotamia). Ethnic Hebrew = Mesopotamian so Jew = Mesopotamian. Add to that the Israelites and Judites both were taken captive in Mesopotamia so even if they intermingled and married locals while in capativity they all would still be Mesopotamians.

I think you question is rather: was Jesus, the man, influenced by mesopotamian zoroastre philosophy? Perhaps. You are certainly not the first to suggest that idea. But then, the Christian message of love thy neighbour and forgive your enemies is quite unique. As an atheist, I still have Jesus as my main role model.

At what point does a whole group of people become a race? Although the first Jews were from Mesopotamia, that was over 3,000 years ago.

You had me, then lost me. Your headline sounds more like Hebrew/Canaanite history. Your other stuff, I can't decipher.
