Why don't Jews accept Jesus as the messiah?

Question

please help me understand?

Answer 1

I would be happy to help you understand, if that was your goal. It's obviously not you hate-filled little thug. You carefully craft your question with just the right words to make Jews look bad and yourself look good.

Well, guess what you stupid Jew hating creep...you only made yourself look ignorant. People see right through your bigoted crap.

Now go play in the freeway or something.

Answer 2

1. The Messiah is born of two human parents, as we said.But Jesus, according to Christian theology, was born of a union between a Human woman and God, rather than two HUMAN parents, as was Hercules, and Dionysis, as well as many other pagan gods.
2. The Messiah can trace his lineage through his human biological father, back to King David (Isaiah 11:1,10; Jeremiah 23:5; Ezekiel 34:23-24; 37:21-28; Jeremiah 30:7-10; 33:14-16; and Hosea 3:4-5). But Jesus's lineage cannot go through his human father, according to Christian theology, as Jesus's father was not Joseph the husband of Mary. According to Christian theology, Jesus's father was God.
3. The Messiah traces his lineage only through King Solomon (II Samuel 7:12-17; I Chronicles 22:9-10). But according to Luke 3:31, Jesus was a descendant of Nathan, another son of King David, and not a descendant of King David through King Solomon.
4. The Messiah cannot trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17; Jeremiah 22:18,30). But according to both Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel.

According to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, messiah -- one who is anointed. These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:

1. The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6), which is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37.
2. The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14). But Jesus had no children.
3. The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9). Obviously there is no peace. Furthermore, Jesus said that his purpose in coming was to bring a sword, and not peace (see Matthew 10:34, as referenced above.)
4. The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
5. The Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
6. The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of God is God (Isaiah 11:9). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.
7. The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9). It isn't.
8. The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24). Many of the ten lost tribes remain lost.
9. The Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28). It hasn't been rebuilt.
10. There will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30). People starve to death every day.
11. After the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8). People die every day.
12. Eventually the dead will be resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Ezekiel 37:12-13; Isaiah 43:5-6);
13. The nations of the earth will help the Jews, materially (Isaiah 60:5-6; 60:10-12;
14. The Jews will be sought out for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23);
15. All weapons will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9,12);
16. The Nile will run dry (Isaiah 11:15)
17. Monthly, the trees of Israel will yield their fruit (Ezekiel 47:12);
18. Each tribe of Israel will receive and settle their inherited land (Ezekiel 47:13-13);
19. The nations of the earth will recognize that they have been wrong, that the Jews have been right, and that the sins of the Gentile nations, their persecutions and the murders they committed, have been borne by the Jewish people (Isaiah 53)

Answer 3

answer: attempt utilising bar - this gets asked continuously. you're incorrect in asserting Jews did now not provide Jesus of project, they weren't accountable for his loss of life - Romans accomplished a criminal. No international peace, no messiah. The legend surrounding Jesus proves that he wasn't the messiah: divine delivery/divinity - strike (the Jewish Messiah would be human) appearing miracles - strike (JM won't carry out miracles) taking on the sins of others - strike (no it is common to take on the sins of others) breaking Sabbath - strike (JM would be observant) sacrificed/increasing from the ineffective - strike (G-d rejects human sacrifice) prophecies unfilled - strike (JM will accomplish them in a single existence time) being worshiped - strike and out - Jews worship G-d and purely G-d Islam is a pretend faith to Judaism and Christianity - Mohammad (mhnbf) tried to alter Judaism and Christianity - it particularly is a pretend prophet to those religions. history has shown that ingredient. There would be NO glories for a Jew or Christian in changing, that could harm the covenants they have already got with G-d. Conquering is optimal. it particularly isn't a faith one would be pleased with.

Answer 4

Maybe not all the Jews at that time got to hear Jesus directly. I think that if more of them had, and if Pontius Pilate hadn't been swayed by the arguments and moreover by the pressure of the Pharisees and the Sanhedrin, then more Jews WOULD have accepted him.

This is a mystery which we may have to accept. As you know, Jesus relied on G-d's will and the role of some Jews in his crucifiction. Remember, though, that the first Apostles and many of Christ's followers WERE Jewish, so in a way, Jews did accept Jesus as Messiah. Just not all of them.

And neither have all Gentiles acceptted Jesus as Messiah. But there are Jews today who are converting. You haven't heard of Jews for Jesus? Theyve been around for a while now. Think about that.

Answer 5

Open your eyes! He reverses the teachings of the Old Testament. He was a Messiah who was supposed to bring the Israelites back to God. He came to fulfill the Law and not to change, omit or add anything on it. There is no other God but God alone. No one before Him and no one besides Him
It is not true that He is a Son who died for the sins of mankind. The True God is not Stupid as how Christians made him to be. Will you ask your son to die for the robbers who ransacked your house? Will you ask your child to pay for the money your household help stole from you? Much more if you just made this people?
It may be true that the Jews were looking for a Messiah like Moses, but non-violence and resistance attitude has brought more power to the devil than suppress his evil deeds. He was so arrogant that he even called himself Lord of The Sabbath when that is a very important sign between God and the Jews that will last for generations. God was so emphatic about not having any graven image of idols what did the Catholics do? Jesus warned his disciples about the many deceivers who will come in his name and will say that he is the Christ. He even said not to follow them but can you count how many churches are there in the world bearing his name and saying he is the Christ? 666 is not a man but an organization of religious that taught the world the wrong thing about the true God.

Answer 6

Maybe you should learn what the Jewish Messiah is to be, first.

First, he will not be G-d, as you say Jesus was. But, this cannot be true, as G-d is One, not a trinity. He will be a man who can bring peace to the earth, and good for all men. Jesus certainly didn't do that.

And, ''an eye for an eye'' only means that you cannot punish a person anymore than what he did------if he took someone's eye, you cannot kill him for it--you must be fair to him. It is a matter of just law and judgment.

Answer 7

Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah, basically, because they are awaiting an earthly Messiah King....think of how Christians portray the second coming of Christ, this is how they perceive the coming of their Messiah will be the first time around. In Christian theology Christ first was subjugated and killed (and resurrected) during his first earthly appearence, but at his second coming will rule over the Earth as literal King. Jews, by rejecting the first appearence of Christ due to his apparent lack of power, are still awaiting a powerful ruler, much as Christians would portray Christ at his Second coming. At least this is how I understand it.

Answer 8

The Jewish people of the time were subject to Roman authority. They envisioned a Messiah that would remove Rome from the picture and restore Israel back to Jewish control. When He did not fit their picture of the Messiah, they rejected Him.

Also, the Pharisees of the time were not happy when He pointed out their failings as leaders - their hypocrisy - how they used their position to gain power and wealth - how they used even the Temple for their own personal gain. They were really mad at Him. Then He claimed to be the Son of God, the Messiah, God incarnate - that made them really mad - believing Him to be a blasphemer, for only God could make those claims. The did not believe Him to be God.

The Jewish people are still looking for the Messiah.

Answer 9

Six million that have died at the hands of other people might have something to do with it. Really persecution has had alot to do with it in past history. Arab nations don't want to live and let live. Many people hate jews without a cause that claim to be christians. Rabbis are afraid that a christian jew will lose his identity.

Answer 10

because they have different beliefs. and they also believe that He was responsible for the slaughter of the innocents (when all first born sons were killed), although you and i as Christians don't believe that. but what you are asking about is the psychological make up of Jews in the olden times, because they were the ones who founded the religion and beliefs of Jews today. and no one can just answer your question. but i don't think they like someone more because of wealth and political power

Answer 11

Some Jews are believing Him to be the Messiah. The first Christians all were Jewish and there weren't any gentile believers for about the first ten years 10 years. Now adays, the numbers are growing.
