READ DETAILS, PLEASE!

I posted this a few minutes ago. So far I've seen only one or two normal replies. Please, help me to not think you're stupid; give a normal reply.

So here it is, very slowly: Do you Agree / Disagree with Jews' reasons for rejecting christianity based on, for example, the following two websites (this requires that you read these sites before answering): http://www.aish.com/spirituality/philosophy/Why_Dont_Jews_Believe_In_Jesus$.asp
and
http://jewsforjudaism.org/web/faq/general_messiah-criteria02.html ???

I am NOT looking for additional reasons, and especially not for christian reasons (e.g. "well, they're just spriritually blind"), why Jews don't accept christianity.

I'm asking what christians think about the reasons which jews believe in.

So please, just read the two sites (they're short ones. I could have posted really long ones) and reply what you think about the reasons which were given.

And please keep replies short (~40 lines). Peace.

To much text for such a chewed out subject.

Jews are right. Jesus did not fulfill the prophesies. That's why Christians believe he will be back.

Like all religions there are differences.

(First of all I believe in either Hebrews or Greek... "Messiah" means The Anointed One... anointed also means cut off. Well, Jesus was nailed to the crossed and died, for 3 days he was Cut off from his people. If I had more time I would further research this. In fact I'll do but it'll take some time.)

Additionally, Jews can believe their Belief, of course; But my point here is to show Why I believe what I believe, Christianity.
Are you a Jews? Have you researched on Why Christians or Catholics believe in their Faith? It would help you to open your mind. Looking in the websites you provided has opened my mind and widen my understanding in Jewish Faith.

But below are results from my short research over the Internet.

From http://www.aish.com/spirituality/philosophy/Why_Dont_Jews_Believe_In_Jesus$.asp
A) Please explain how this verse is understood as "The Messiah will build the 3rd temple
B) In Isaiah 43 verse 5 it explains when Jacob's decendants, Moses and the People, were enslaved and rescue to and from the East and West, which happened after Jacob was named Israel
C) In Isaiah 2, I think this is referring to the End of the World; Jesus' second advent will end all suffers and wars, but it doesn't say It has to be Jesus' First advent
D) In Zechariah 14, Again, I think it's referring to the Second Advent.

I understand. Your question is that Whether Jesus DID fulfill the Messiah Prophecy? (Unless you're NOT asking and you're firmly believing that Jesus DID NOT fulfill the Messiah Prophecy.

I would like to show you some websites as well, please read the following:

The truth is a bit painful for a particular religion here but I will say it anyway. When Jesus died and raise from the dead, the religious teachers and Pharisees are saying gossips that Jesus didn't raise from the dead as He has said. They even stated a lot of issues that His disciples made Him disappear for all to see and believe. That Jesus is just an ordinary person not to worshiped as God, etc. So, they believe this gossip around town and had decided that Jesus was a liar, a fake and whatever. Till know that's what they believe in, because it was passed by their ancestors from generation to generations. This if the awful truth, that's why they are hard with this issue. Hope I helped you.

Bible is not understood by any including myself.I am of the opinion that entire Bible is to be understood figuritively not literally.Israel is the name of future heaven not the present one ruled by Hagnah terrorists.Jesus came as a Man when the entire world has taken an evil path.Sin is violation of God`s command.Jesus payed ransom for sin by offering Himself to most painful punishment including death (of everyone`s sin)on cross.Jesus lived again with a promise that all those who accept Him will be taken to NEW ISRAEL(HEAVEN)after His second coming.Those who do not believe and accept Him now will get 1000yrs after His second coming and then will be allowed into heaven. Hell (hades)is grave.Satan as a person does not exist.

A true Jew, believes in Jesus. Its those that claim to be Jews, and are not, that started the hatred towards Jesus. Their true names are "KENITES", or better known as Son"s of Cain. They moved into Jerusalem and assimilated themselves within the True Jewish community, ( this happened after the babylonian captivity, when when the tribes of Judah and Levi, and part of the tribe of Benjiman returned to Jerusalem).
It was these Kenites that shouted for the crucificion of Jesus.
Jesus identifies them in the book of Revelation.( Its much deeper study to continue). Anyway, to repeat, a true Jew believes in Jesus, those that claim to be Jews, hate Jesus.

Jews have very good reason to not believe in Jesus but then again, I don't see how anybody can believe in all the stuff in the Torah either so it doesn't help much.

2006-08-01 20:58:58 · answer #7 · answered by tenaciousd 6 · 1 0

because Christians believe that Jesus was the messiah. Jewish believe that Jesus didn't fit the criteria of a messiah. therefore Jews don't believe in Jesus. That's the short version.

I like poa... answer. But as a Christan I love the Jews even though I believe in Jesus. They are God's chosen people.
