ok, Judaism rejects jesus as the messiah.
Christianity believes Jesus was the messiah and/or god incarnate, and/or a "sacrifice for our sins" or something to that effect.
Now, Christians think Jesus is/was certain things.
now the Jews have one concept of what the messiah is/was and and is/was supposed to be.
if Jesus was the messiah that Judaism was looking for... why is it you think that they/we rejected him?
one reasoning I've heard people say, is that the jews were expecting a physical savior to save them from the romans and physically rebuild the temple and such, when it was really a spiritual savior.
but this doesn't actually make a bit of sense, as the jews already had/have that spiritual salvation, WITHOUT jesus.
it seems to me like the whole reasoning for why to believe in jesus is a big knot of misconceptions...
(a little bit to be added in a moment)
