The Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah.Why is that?

Answer 1

i dont no but i wouldnt argue with them about it lol

Answer 2

The Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because God planned it that way.

Just as God hardened the heart of Pharaoh, He closed the minds of some of the Jews so that his plan for Mankind would be fulfilled. To other Jews, he granted a spiritually receptive heart, so that they accepted Christ and became an integral part of the apostolic church. A branch of His chosen people were cut off so that Men of other nations could be grafted into His tree. In a way, the Jews were made a sacrifice so that Christianity could be born.

The Jews didn't kill God. God can't be killed. God allowed His physical human manifestation - Yeshua the Christ - to be sacrificed so that He could show on the world stage the mystery of initiation that was previously only done in secret, and to set events in motion that will, through His grace, result in the recovery of all Mankind - pagans, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, atheists, one and all.

He could have used supernatural powers to avert the crucifixion at any time - He could have vanished or slain His tormentors. He feels sad that Christians blame Jews for killing Him. He wants us to blame *Him* for his physical death, not the Jews. He wants to take away our guilt and blame, not add to it. He loves the Jewish people, the people He chose to be born into, just as He loves all people.

There will come a time when the materialistic Jews who were cut off will be grafted back onto the tree. Just as there are some people who call themselves Christians who will fight for the wrong side, there are some people who call themselves Jews who will be among the elect.

Answer 3

"Judaism's view of Jesus per se reflects Jewish views of eschatology, the characteristics of the Messiah, the gift of prophecy, and the cosmological nature of God, which are derived from the Torah and Biblical prophecies expressed by Isaiah, Ezekiel, and others from Biblical times through the destruction of Solomon's Temple in the 6th Century BCE. These statements and the rabbinic views derived therefrom present a specific picture of the indivisible nature of God, and of the events and characteristics that would be associated with the coming of the Messiah.

According to these criteria, Jesus did not fulfill the qualifications of the Messiah or Messianic prophecies, he was not a prophet, and it is heresy to believe that he was divine, part of a Trinity, or an intermediary between mankind and God. Very few texts in Judaism directly refer to or take note of Jesus.

Finally, some Jews doubt the historical existence of Jesus. Based on a Talmudic tradition [1] some [2] believed that Jesus lived 130 years prior to the date that Christians believe he lived, contradicting the Gospel's account regarding the years."

Hope this helps...

Answer 4

I think they're great people and they are Jews who have turned to the lord Jesus Christ as a personal Savior and, of course, in the Old Testament, He is called Messiah, so they have the label of Messianic because they are looking for the coming of Messiah in the very near future. And that's what I’ve been talking about. This ridiculous thing called replacement theology where God is through with the Jews forever. That's not so.

The bible teaches in Romans chapters 9 to 11 the Jews past, chapter 9, the Jews present, chapter 10, and the Jews future, chapter 11. And when messiah comes, chapter 11, verse 26 says: “all Israel shall be saved, for there shall come out of Zion, out of Jerusalem a deliverer who shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob”.

Who is Jacob? Jacob changed his name to Israel, 2 Kings 17:34. And when Messiah comes, He opens their blinded eyes and all Judaism, all Israel comes to Jesus Christ. I'm for the messianic Jews.

Answer 5

People recieve orientations from many sourses. The Pharisees and the Sandhedren where covering their backside when they rejected Jesus the Messiah. They could not and would not except a suffering messiah on their behalf or anyone elses. It seems that political advantage overrules freedom of thought or expession. We do know that the Essenes of the day were much more on target and see clearer than anyone else.
No one anticipated a suffering Messiah, The Palm sunday celebration was for a victory messiah against the Romans

Answer 6

Many Jesus are accepting Jesus as the Jewish Messiah.

Such Jews are called Messianic Jews.

Answer 7

According to jewish holy scripture, Jesus do not fulfill the required criteria to be considered the messiah and that is, taking in account what the gospels say.

There is nothing strange about that. Ask a rabbi, they're usually very nice (at least those I've met) and I'm sure they'd explain you why.

Answer 8

Because they thought he was a fraud and was claiming to be a Prophet. Jesus was trying to tell them to follow the right path which they didnt. They believe Moses was the last.

Answer 9

Because they feel that Jesus was just a preacher and he wasn't the messiah. They don't believe that the messiah has arrived yet.

Answer 10

I have no idea--but they are just that way. It is so strange b/c Jews were and are I guess still considered God's chosen people. So that is just kinda disgusting.

Answer 11

because the Jews believe they are the messiah themselves!!!

if not, ask the palestinians, lebanesse, or anyone that passes by...
