You are right jesus was a jew,you are also correct that they only believe in the old testament.They are waiting for the messiah still,but the new testament speaks of God deep love for the jewish people.He calls them HIS chosen,I am christian and have always had a burden for jewish people,I have just loved them.I pray for them as well.

1) Approximately 99% of Jews today do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as the Messiah, or God. Jewish teachings don't promote the Messiah as a divine savior.
2) The other 1% is Messianic Judaism. It's hardly Judaism - just Christianity sprinkled with Jewish ritual.
3) Yes, Jews believe in God.
4) The New Testament does say that Jesus was Jewish, yes.

Well, kinds, sorta, almost.
Jews believe that Jesus was a real person, but they believe he was a religious nut who deserved to die because he claimed to be God.
Jews use the Old Testament, but not the New Testament.
The Bible is not mixed up, the Jews are behind everyone else. God blinded them to the truth because they rejected Him. The entire nation of Israel (which is only about 5% Jew) will repent, but not before most of them are killed by the Muslims.

Yes, Jewish people believed Jesus was a man, but do not believe he was the Messiah. Because Jesus, a Jew, proclaimed he was the one prophesized of in the Old Testament, that would redeem them, he was put to death. As the proclaimed Messiah, His teachings did away with most of the teachings the Jews had been living for years; what Jesus taught was a new and higher law.

Every Jew I've ever known believes that Jesus existed (there are too many hostile historical accoutns to accuratelt say that Jesus wasn't a real person), but no, they don't believe He is the Messiah. Their understanding of what the Messiah is to be is different (the Samaritans actually had it the closest). Many Jews consider Jesus to have been a wise man. My favorite is Kinky Freidman and the Texas Jew Boys' song "They Don't Make Jews Like Jesus Anymore". The only time I've ever seen any hostility against Jesus is when it comes to His diety.

No. Some people are "Messianic Jews" ie..people who are supposedly "Jewish" yet believe in Jesus but they are not recognized by mainstream Judaism.
Jesus was not accepted as the Messiah because he did not fill the Messianic prophesies especially the one that mentions that the Messiah shall be a blood descendant of King David, Jesus's "newtestament" bloodline disqualifies him since the bloodline shall be one passed down from father to father, not foster father to foster son.
Also, he was born some 200 years after the age of prophets.

They believe there is such a PERSON or human.. not divine though. Like the Muslims who believe he was only a prophet of God. The Jews are still waiting for the Son of God to arrive. Jesus was Hebrew (his hometown was Bethlehem)

BECOMING the Chief Corner Stone -
Jesus (a Hebrew above all Hebrews) was to BECOME "the head stone of the corner" (Ps.118:22 below), "the chief corner stone" (Eph.2:20, Deut.32:4 below), of His living body, the church of God (1 Cor.10:32, Col.1:24 below).
It was at Jesus' baptism that Jesus BECAME "the head stone of the corner", "the chief corner stone" of the church of God. From that point Jesus began His ministry.
All who are in Jesus Christ have BECOME a “new creature” (2 Cor.5:17, Gal.6:15 below); we, in Him, have become individually, as well as collectively, His living body, the church of God.
There is neither Jew nor Greek (Gentile) in Christ Jesus, we are all one (Gal.3:28 below).
Ps.118:22The stone (Jesus) which the builders refused IS BECOME the head stone of the corner (Eph.2:20 below).
Eph.2:20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone (Ps.118:22 above):
Deut.32:4He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
1 Cor.10:32Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God.
Col.1:24Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church:
2 Cor.5:17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he IS a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (Gal.6:15 below).
Gal.6:15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (2 Cor.5:17 above).
Gal.3:28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
