No one believes in revelation that others claim, especially when that revelation came AFTER the revelation of the first group. Let me explain:::
Jews dont believe in the revelation of Christians, Christians dont believe in the revelation of Islam, and Islam does not believe in the revelation of B'hauallah, the founder of the B'hai faith. In the same way that the B'hai believe they developed out of Islam, which doesnt matter to Moslems, in the same way that Islam believes in things found in Christianity, which is irrelevant to Christians, in the same way that the Early Christians were Jews, which is irrelevant to Jews, the newer is not believed in by the older. it is that simple.....

A book could be written in answering these questions, but I need to keep this short. The Bible says that a veil has been placed over the eyes of the Jews, for a time. Of course, I'm paraphrasing. There will come a time that this cover over their eyes will be removed, namely, when the AntiChrist, or AntiMessiah, commits the abomination of desolation; I think I have that name right, but it's very late, and I'm very tired. Essentially, this means that the Anti-Messiah will go into the Jewish temple at Jerusalem, which has yet to be built, AGAIN, and will claim to be God, and demand to be worshipped. This will happen in the middle of the "Tribulation". Also, the Jews have suffered severe and horrific persecution for centuries, usually under the banner of "Christianity", or the symbol of the cross. Some of them were the Russian progroms, the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusaders etc. This makes them, with good reason, less likely to be receptive to Jesus, or Yeshua, (his name in Hebrew; after all; He is a Jew). The rest of your question isn't clear, but Muhammed is an actual historical figure, there's no question, but both Jews and Christians understand that he and Muslims alike, have unfortunately been deceived by the great deceiver, Satan, who keeps them from the truth. This is why many Christians pray for Muslims, because they want them to also enter into Heaven, the Heaven of the Holy Bible, that is. Hope this helps. Sorry, gotta quit for now. God bless you. (The God of the Holy Bible!)

It is a chornological thing.
Jews believe in the Old Testament, including Moses and the laws he brought down from GOD. They reject the idea, however that Jesus was the Messiah and the Lord GOD on Earth. Since this belief defines Christians at the most basic level, those who reject this belief obviously cannot be Christians.
Muslims are a completely different matter. The Qur'an teaches that Jesus was one of the line of Prophets that culminated with Muhammad, the Last Prophet, which neither Jews nor Christians regard as a prophet at all.

Most of the Jewish faith do believe in Jesus. Most Christians believe in Muhammed.... Muslims believe in Jesus and Moses. The people you speak of were not gods. They were not historical figures. They are characters in a story. And not just any story.... A story about faith. A story about believing in things and making change that benefits those of a pure heart and undeniable gulibility. Religion is for idiots but I only say that because even Einstien believed in god. Jewish don't believe in him.... but no one can doubt that a man once walked the earth with a loving heart and a strong will. Jesus was against the very thing that the Rabbi's preached against. Which by my own understanding is exactly what the rabbi's didn't want, as it usurped thier own power in the church. Do you believe in Ghandi? Do you believe in Malcolm X? Then I would have to say that these figures exist but are so much larger than life that we nor anyone can put anything but a name on them. Muhammed and Moses were by alot of religious buffs very quite possibly the same prophet.... Perhaps Jesus didn't exist... but I can garantee you that someone with an archaic sense of self and a firm belief in the super-natural, guided themselves to a greater understanding of the world and it's going-ons, which gave them the power to teach spirituality.
Also in my humble opinion any jewish believer that doesn't believe in jesus is only trying to front his own beliefs in lieu of covering thier own asses. These people obviously did exist wether thier names were real or given it is plainly obvious that these men served the greater good and stories were only told to convey the effect that one person can have on the world. On both sides of the equation it's clear that these people were just regular people with a gift for the extraordinary.

I think Jews believe that Jesus existed, but they don't think he was the Messiah due to things such as their Messiah was to come from the line of David and even though Joseph was from the line of David, he technically wasn't his biological father.
Likewise, Jews and Christians do not deny the existence of Muhammed, but since Christians believe that Christ was the saviour and LAST prophet, they do not believe that Muhammed could possibly be a prophet of God since he lived after Jesus, who was the last.
Does that answer your question?

Jews will not believe in Jesus, because they don't understand the spiritual nature of his teachngs -- and this is largely due to the misunderstanding of his teachings which are promoted by the Christians. The New Testament has been severely corrupted (see http://BibleCorruption.com ), and the text in many places now appears to be anti-Jewish. When in reality, it was anti-culture. And if it was revised into our present time, Christians would be just as offended as were the Jews in that time frame. Because of ignorance of the Laws which control this world, man brings his sufferings upon himself -- but few people want to hear this -- and fewer leaders want to hear that they are responsible for the suffering of the people.

Your question includes the word "belief" which is the crux. Jews might accept that a historical figure named Jesus existed (maybe...the historical evidence is sparse, at best) but place no faith in his position as anything spiritual or divine. The Torah makes very clear the requirements for any messicanic figure and Jesus does not satisfy them. His personal actions and the beliefs he espoused were at best hypocritical and reformational and at worst, heretical. There is not reason TO believe in him.

Faith is different from contract and compromise. These human transactions are often used in trade agreements. The whole western culture is such that God is also reduced to a commodity on whom they have transacted. No one is a Prophet or a special agent of God that what ever he says is the Truth. Stories are spread and name of 'prophet' is used to glorify and also invoke fear of punishment in the 'hell' for his violation.
The fact is all human beings are endowed with mental, intellectual and spiritual faculties which one has to be aware of and cultivate so as to realise himself and in the process realise the Almighty God.

Because everybody has a choice to believe what they want to believe in and not being shoved down there throats with other religions....it's called freewill. And who said jews didn't believe in christ? I know some jews who do believe in christ, do you even know what your talking about? Did you know that jesus was a jew? So pretty much his folowers was jews back then, so they believed in jesus.....
BTW, what book have you been reading? I really would sugest you start studying more....
