Why don't Hebrew's believe in Jesus Christ.?

Question

I know this guy who claims the Hebrew way of life is the true way in which God urdained man to live.He said Jesus came into being after the laws of God were given.

Answer 1

Jews do not believe in Jesus because:
1) Worship ping a human being is idolatry, which is against the ten commandments.
2) Jesus was not the Messiah; he did not fulfill any requirement or prophecy.
If the Christians think he did it is only because they have distorted the OT to suit their needs. When you read the Bible in the original Hebrew, the truth is very clear...

Answer 2

First of all, "Hebrew" is a language, not a religion.
Secondly, "Judaism" is a religion; "Jewish" is an adjective used to describe those who practice Judaism.
Last, though certainly not least, "Jewish" IS NOT A RACE.
I was raised Jewish, though I don't know what I believe now as far as a supreme being. I DO believe than a woman canNOT give birth without having intercourse. That just what you say when you don't know who the daddy is and it is considered taboo to have sex out of wedlock.
Was Jesus the messiah? Well I wasn't there. Plus, didn't they used to nail people to crosses on a regular basis? Even upside down sometimes, for that little something extra?
I think maybe Jesus convinced the most people that he was a prophet. Maybe he was a schizophrenic, and the voices he heard in his head was not actually the voice of god, but the product of mental defect.
Next time you see that homeless guy talking to himself, remember you may be looking at the messiah!

Answer 3

dawnf21,
there are many Hebrews that do believe in Jesus Christ. They just don't know that they are Hebrews. There was the Northern Kingdom called the House of Israel, after Soloman's time. They were eventually conquered and carried off into bondage while those that we refer to as being Jews were not. The Hebrews of the nothern kingdom had been worshipping idols, and so were all setup to forget their heritage. And they had spread all over the Old World being viewed as barbarians.

If you meant the Jews, it was prophecied! God knew they wouldn't recognize the Messiah, and said that they wouldn't.

The Apostle Paul wrote about this. In Romans 10:19 he quotes Deuteronomy 32:21, it's so planned. When Jesus comes back (in Zechariah 14) they as a nation will then recognize Him.

Answer 4

Well, there's a few things to look at here.

I don't think that a lot of Jewish people deny that such a person lived. But I could be wrong in that.

He's not accepted as the Messiah because he didn't fit the description of a Messiah, or at least, not of the promised Messiah.

The Messiah, according to Judaism, would be a human leader who would restore the Jewish monarchy, drive out the Roman invaders, set up an independent Jewish state, and inaugurate an era of peace, justice, and prosperity for the world.

Jesus' claim to be the Messiah did NOT carry any connotation of deity or divinity. The term "Messiah" simply meant "anointed one" and was a title of earthly kingship; to claim to be the Messiah meant simply to claim the throne of Israel.

Anyone who claimed to be the PROMISED Messiah (as promised by the prophets) would restore the dynasty of David.

And, Jesus was by no means that only person during that period to make a Messianic claim; some were war heroes, like Bar Kokhba or Judas of Galilee...some were non-military folks like Theudas or 'the Egyptian" (both of whom are mentioned in the New Testament, as well as Josephus) who had their own believers and waited confidently for a miracle through which the Romans would be overthrown.

Some Messiahs had the aim only of liberating the Jews from Rome, while others (and Jesus was one of these) expected this liberation to usher in an era of peace and liberation for the whole world (the sword would be beaten into plowshares, and the wolf would lie down with the lamb).

While the Jews of the time looked forward to the coming of the promised Messiah, they did not think that he would be a divine figure - on the contrary, the promised Messiah would be accompanied by a prophet who like Elijah would not hesitate to reprimand the anointed worldly King if he failed in his duties or ignored the words of Deuteronomy 'that his heart not be lifted up above his brethren'.

So, as you can see by the above, Jesus didn't fulfill the Jewish prophecies for the promised Messiah. The proof was in the pudding, so to speak, and since Jesus did not restore the Jewish monarchy, drive out the Roman invaders, set up an independent Jewish state, and inaugurate an era of peace, justice, and prosperity for the world, he wasn't the one they were waiting for, any more than the other claimants mentioned above.

BTW, I'm not Jewish, so if my understanding of this in inaccurate, I hope that our Jewish friends here will correct me.

Answer 5

Why do no longer you have self belief in my astounding Goddess? Or the Hindu God Krishna? Or interior the White Buffalo woman of the community human beings? -- what you're questioning as quickly as I ask it extremely is surprisingly plenty the comparable reason i do no longer think in Jesus. i do no longer think he probable existed as there is not any evidence for him. If he did exist i do no longer think he substitute into divine-- only some rabble rouser legends grew up around. i do no longer think interior the Christian thought-approximately God or the Bible (and would not choose for to-- frankly if i thought a extra robust capability substitute into like that i would not be prepared to worship him). there is not any such element as hell,heaven, sin, eternal damnation, and so on-- those have been only Christian misinterpretations while the Pagans have been attempting to make heads & thoughts of the Jewish scriptures. Jesus did no longer even qualify because of the fact the Jewish messiah; so if the unique scriptures have been real, Jesus is a faux messiah and the Christian Bible is fake. If the unique scriptures have been fake (that's what i think of) then none of something that got here out of it extremely is real.

Answer 6

The 'laws' your friend refers to had a purpose.
They were given to help identify the Messiah. Galations 3:24 says that rather bluntly.
The Jews of Jesus time did not accept him because they wanted a messiah that would lead a rebellion against the Romans.
Jesus didn't.
Since then, Jews simply tell their children Jesus was a good sort, but not the messiah.
The children don't question enough.
The tradition continues.

Answer 7

I think Hebrews believe in Jesus Christ, but not that he was the Son of God- I heard they were still waiting for him.

About Jesus coming into being after the laws of God were given, i think that depends on whether you believe that Jesus existed as God's son before living on earth.

Answer 8

When Jesus came on to the scene he came to abolish the laws set forth and make new commands, Read Mark 12:30-31, and Matthew 28:19 just to mention a few.

Answer 9

The Jewish faith doesn't recognize Jesus as the messiah that was promised to lead them back to the temple, they recognize him as a prophet of God not as the son of God. Christianity is based on the belief that Jesus is the chosen messiah based on the tenets of the Jewish faith or the laws of God held within the Old Testament and the Torah.

Answer 10

First of all we're not "Hebrews" were jews (yes there is a difference). Second of all I'm not sure your friend is actually jewish because by the way you put it he was trying to convert you (which jews don't do) Third yes your friend was right in saying that we don't believe he was the messiah. We believe he was just actually a normal man. So your friend was wrong in saying you were wrong and you were wrong in saying he was wrong.
