Answer 1

Brother, I am a Christian.

According to The Bible, it was prophesized that the Jews would reject the Messiah. It is not given to us to know and understand God's plans, but that doesn't stop us from forming opinions !

It's my belief that Jesus was rejected by the Jews so that he could bring salvation to ALL nations. Christianity actually started out as a Jewish sect (there are, were, and probably always will be different Jewish sects). However, the Jews didn't tolerate this sect -- they reacted with great violence against it (much of it was politically motivated, although some was probably religious differences).

That, in a nutshell, was how Christianity was formed -- otherwise, it would still be "just another Jewish sect". But, in that time, given that political climate, it was the PERSECUTION of the followers of Jesus that helped to spread the religion!

As to why the Jewish people still reject Jesus as the Messiah, that, too is in the Bible. In fact, it is one of the signs of the End Times that their eyes will be opened, and they will realize what they have done, and return to God !

God has NEVER forgotten his convenant with Abraham (Isaac and Jacob). He just put the Jewish acceptance / recognition of Jesus *on hold* in order that "The Bible may be preached in every corner of the world, so that all may be saved". Our God is an AWSOME God !

Answer 2

Obviously they didn't believe the early Christians that the Jewish Messiah had arrived.

Early Jews had first hand insight into the heresies from which Christianity sprung. Early Christians were mostly nonJewish, or only marginally Jewish.

It's much like the Mariatra (sp?) guy claiming to be the second coming of Christ. He will only convince those who are not Christian, or who are only marginally Christian, because he does not match the expectations of modern Christians. In the same way, Jesus did not match the expectation of Jews for the Messiah - and still doesn't.

Answer 3

Of the important international religions, Christianity and Judaism are probable the most similar. Christianity and Judaism both believe in a unmarried God who's almighty, omniscient, omnipresent, eternal, and countless. both religions believe in a God who's holy, righteous, and merely - at the same time as at the same time loving, forgiving, and merciful. Christianity and Judaism percentage the Hebrew Scriptures (the former testomony) because the authoritative understand God, inspite of the actual undeniable truth that Christianity contains the recent testomony as well. both Christianity and Judaism believe in the existence of Heaven, the eternal living position of the righteous, and Hell, the eternal living position of the wicked. Christianity and Judaism have in reality a similar moral code, frequently huge-spread proper this second as Judeo-Christian. both Judaism and Christianity teach that God has a particular plan for the country of Israel and the Jewish human beings. The all-significant large difference between Christianity and Judaism is the guy of Jesus Christ. Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is the success of the former testomony prophecies of a coming Messiah / Savior (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7; Micah 5:2). Judaism frequently acknowledges Jesus as a competent instructor, or maybe perchance a prophet of God. Judaism does no longer believe that Jesus replaced into the Messiah. Taking it a step better, Christianity teaches that Jesus replaced into God in the flesh (John a million:a million,14; Hebrews a million:8). Christianity teaches that God grew to develop right into a man or woman in the guy of Jesus Christ so He ought to lay down His existence to pay the price for our sins (Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 5:21). Judaism strongly denies that Jesus replaced into God or that the form of sacrifice replaced into needed.

Answer 4

The Jews were, and still are, looking for a human King who will re-establish what they consider to be "The Kingdom of Israel" with themselves the rulers of the rest of the world. Jesus didn't, and doesn't, in their opinion, "fill the bill."

Christians, on the other hand, are looking at things from a much broader perspective. They see a Kingdom in which God will personally rule, and in which all evil, including death and disease, will be obliterated.

Passing note...Israel had rejected God from being King a very long time ago. (see 1 Sam 8:7) Is it any wonder, then, that they didn't recognize Him as King when He came to them? (see Mal 3:1)

Answer 5

according to the jewish texts, the messiah was supposed to be a human king of the line of david who would restore all the jews to israel and bring peace to the world.
jesus died, so in their eyes he did not fulfill the prophecy.
and the jews want the messiah to be exactly what god told them. chiristians believe that he was the messiah and that this kingdom of peace will come at the end of the world with the second coming of jesus. the jews don't agree with this idea.

jesus wasn't the only messiah the jews believed and went along with, i forget how to spell his name, it begins with with a B, came along before then and died as well. the jews were neither embarrassed nor deterred from their search for the messiah because of this. it just goes on as far as their concerned.

Answer 6

Because, they believed that the Messiah was to set up a temporal empire, instead of an Heavenly one, so when the Messiah came their power over the people was threatened, and any power that is threatened will always try and remove that threat. Just as today, if our leaders ( religious, political, family, friends, &c) don't believe in something, or someone, then we are less likely too ourselves.

Answer 7

I don't know, maybe the same reason why people rejected Prophet Muhammad (SAW) without knowing him. We do not like to give up our biggest idol which sits within our chests and what our parents believed even though they may have lacked the knowledge which you are presented now. The Jewish Saul created the idea of the son of God to corrupt the religion. He killed so many Christians but was still failing so he decided to corrupt it from within. You know him better after he changed his name, St. Paul. Perhaps this idea came to him from Zeus the son of Apollo thus making Christianity a pagan religion. Look around next time you go to church.

Answer 8

Christ came to the whole world, however, as someone else said, the Jews rejected him because they were looking for another kind of Savior. They wanted the kind of guy who would overturn their world literally, not just spiritually. They wanted the king for THIS world...not just the world to come. Their culture was so steeped in tradition that they couldn't see the Good News that was in front of them.

Answer 9

The Jews expected the messiah of the Chosen to come in great power and glory.


Over time there have been many who the Jews expected to be their messiah.

Answer 10

Some Jews believe that the messiah still has not come. The Jews who do believe are Christians. :)
