Judaism is a monotheistic religion, and Christianity is not.

The book of Romans explains that the reason why the Jews don't accept Jesus is that God has "blinded their eyes and deafened their ears" to the truth about their Messiah. Had the Jews accepted Jesus as their savior in the first century, then the kingdom of God would have begun right then and there, and the gentiles would have been left out because that would have been the end of the old world and the beginning of the new world under Christ. Paul says, "Because of their fall, the gentiles have salvation." Paul and some other Jews were the first Christians, the rest of the Jews who are alive at the end will be the last Christians when "all the gentiles who have come to Christ, come to Christ."

Jesus says that the only way to the father is through him. This is because Jesus lived "the perfect life of truth." He was free of sin and wrong doing. He was Gods son. According to the theory of the holy trinity, which basicly says that God, Jesus and the Holy spirit are seperate entities but one in the same as well, Jesus is God. The Jews do say that no MAN can come between God and another MAN and they include Jesus in this because to the Jews, Jesus was not the son of God. They believe him to be nothing more than a man who did a lot of good things, I'm not sure if they even consider Him a saint or a prophet... But to them he is just a man. To Christians he is the son of God and he died for our sins. According to the Bible, if we do not allow Jesus into our heart and accept Him as our lord and savior we will not be allowed into the kingdom of Heaven.
"He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." John 3:36
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

Christians say that Jesus is the Messiah - the completion of Judaism. Jesus is God incarnate, and therefore, does not come between man and God, but through His sacrifice has allowed us to come into the very presence of God.

Jesus doesn't come between God and man, He puts the two together.

Your question is flawed.
I doubt ANY true Christian would claim that "Jesus is an intermediary between man and God".

since Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah, they still do not as us Christians accept Jesus as mediator between God and man.

I equate your question like this and for now we will merely bypass away God out of it. as quickly as we've been all young ones we had specific policies to stay by way of and if we broke any of those policies, properly there became hell to pay. isn't that perfect? Now as adults we ought to abide by way of the policies of society or we ought to pay the fee. isn't that perfect? how a lot of human beings have long gone until now the choose and was hoping he'd be merciful. the place I come from a city in Wisconsin, we had this choose and if he hung one out over the weekend he on no account got here to courtroom in an particularly sturdy temper. Who is familiar with you will get a week for an uncomplicated misdemeanor. So we don't provide into the dominance of society we are beneficial to be punished.

Jews still believe that the only way to get to God is to sacrifice something or believe that you are not worthly of God's love for you. I know that I am offending some people by saying this, but it is based in the Old Testament of the Christian Holy Bible. But, God sensed this and he sent his only begotten son, to reconcile man to himself and the only way to do this is to sacrifice his only son and have that as representation of God's love for his children and to show us that we are all worthy of God's love and attention.
