Do Jews have the same opinion for Jesus as Christians have for Mohammad?

Question

The way Christians consider Mohammad as a false prophet only because he was the successor (and how a successor can be discussed in bible, just like how can i tell the name of my grandchild!!), so do Jews consider Jesus as a false prophet because he was a successor as well?

Answer 1

Jews acknowledge that he was a man but nothing other than a man who is Jewish.

Answer 2

As a Christian, I object to your characterization of Christians. While I certainly grant that some Christians view Muhammad as a false prophet, that view is by no means a unanimous one. I regard Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, and others in the same vein - as those who had marvelous experiences of the divine and then spent their lives trying to explain that experience to others. There's nothing false about that!

For me, the message of Jesus is most compelling for a couple of reasons. First of all, where I come from Jesus is a more culturally significant figure - as a white American of European descent my cultural and historical heritage is Christian, and I am (admittedly and happily) a product of that heritage. Second, I am persuaded by the person of Christ himself. In his person is the fulfillment of prophecy, the substitutionary death for sin, and the promise of life through his resurrection. Finally, Jesus is compelling to me because of what I believe about God himself. My reading of the Bible tells me that, time and again, God reveals himself to the faithful through irony; I believe that God reveals himself fully and completely through the utterly ironic figure of Christ - a poor man, an unimportant man, a weak man, a man who preaches that "the last shall be first" and "the meek shall inherit the earth."

As to your remark about successors, I am not exactly sure what you're driving at, but I hope you will (and I think you do) recognize the truth in the message of all the holy men and women who have communed with God throughout the ages.

Answer 3

Most Jews are taught to view Jesus as an unnecessary prophet. 'False Prophet' is not exactly accurate as they respect Christians and their beliefs. Still, as most monotheistic religions are respected and tolerated, they still regard the followers as Goyim (heathen, non-believers). You will probably find, if you ask, that most Christians regard Muslims and Jews in much the same way and find their respective prophets, likewise, unnecessary.
*Note - The Bible (Old Testement) was created long after the resurrection of Christ, The New Testement much later (after the death of Mohammed, peace be upon him), and the King James version even later

Answer 4

I hope these would help you a bit;

Jews (Bani Israil) cannot accept the faith that the last messenger of Allah would come from Arab Quraisy and not from their clan, yes, he's Muhammad. They're so obssesed for their ancestors, because almost all of the messengers are from Bani Israil including Yusuf (Joseph), Ismail (Isaac) and etc.. But, Allah knows the Best. Since the death of Musa (Moses), some of his followers became insane, they turned back to their old religion, even become worst than before, they pray on a bull. The key here is, Jews can't accept the last messenger of Allah would be Muhammad, that is, not from their clan like previous mesengers.
