Because they refuse to "Accept" Him as their savior.

First of all, let me say that i have no intention of offending anybody, but since you ASKED than I will answer.
The reason I don't believe in Jesus Christ is exactly because you claim that He is the Son of God. God is an Almighty Entity, and he is surely One because if He isn't One than there are others like Him with equal power(and they would be called GODS).
Now If God has a son, what would His son be? Will His son become God as well? But that would mean that God is no longer One,thus violating the principal of monotheism. And do we have to worship His son as well? If the definition of God is a being we worship than that means the son would become God as well, again violating the principal of monotheism. If the son is a part of God, why would God degrade Himself by turning a part of Him into something as low as a creature He created?
The conclusion is that I find the idea of The Son of God to be impossible in a monotheistic religion. Thus I don't believe in it. That is my objective answer and I mean it only as an answer, not an insult on anyone

Why would God come down to earth as a man to be sacrificed for the sins of mankind? If he did do this in actuality then why would there be the need to confess and repent? Aren't your sins all forgiven? If your promised your paradise because you are "forgiven" then why should we be placed in this worrisome world? Why would God need a son? How is Christianity a monotheistic religion when you believe in the Trinity? There can only be one answer and that is Jesus peace be upon him is actually a messenger of God and not the son of the Almighty.
Praise be to God He begets none nor was He begotten. These are the teachings of Islam.

Because he's not. It was the Ecumenical Councils of the Church that made him "son of God".
Dr. Adel Elsaie writes in his book, "History of Truth, The Truth about God and Religion":
The first council provided the duality of God, while the second Ecumenical council extended the duality to the trinity. The emperor Theodosius I (347-395), who was appreciated when he made the Christian doctrine as the state religion, convened the second council at Constantinople...In this council, the dogma of the trinity of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost was introduced and agreed upon as the church doctrine. Theodosius instructed the recognition of the "Nicene Creed," and the Council extended the worshipping to the Holy Ghost beside the Father and the Son. Also, the council declared the Holy Ghost to be made of the same substance of God. Today the church still feeds on this dogma of trinity that was added under Theodosius the Great.
My brother abd77 once wrote:
In the Bible we find neither the words “Christianity” nor “Judaïsm”.
Jesus actually never pronounced the words “Christian” and “Christianity” in all his life.
The word “Christian” was created long after Jesus’ departure, as the Bible clearly shows it (Acts 11:26).
Jesus never said he had come to create a new religion. If he had wanted to, don’t you think he wouldn’t have clearly said it, and named that religion, like the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad clearly did. But Jesus never did.
Jesus also never called to build churches (these places full of images and statues, which clearly contradicts God’s 2nd Commandment: “You shall make no image or representation of whatever is in Heaven or here on Earth.” Exodus 20:4). And Jesus taught in synagogues according to the Bible, i.e. places where like in mosques there are no images nor statues.
As for the word “Judaïsm”, it describes more an ethnic group than a religion (the descendants of Juda and by extension of his father Jacob), that’s why you find some people calling themselves “atheist Jew”. And how could someone think that God limited the knowledge of the Truth about the One True God to only one people and keep all the others ignorant. Yet Judaïsm rejects all non Jewish Prophets, it is not Universal contrary to Islam that claims that God sent Prophets to all peoples.
Now let’s see how Jesus really lived according to the Bible:
-Like Muslims, Jesus never ate pork (Moses’ law that Jesus taught, Leviticus 11:7,8)
-Like Muslims, Jesus taught and practiced fasting (Luke 5:35; Mat 4:2 and 6:16)
-Like Muslims, when Jesus met his friends or disciples, he said to them “peace be upon you” (Luke 24:36), “salam aleikoum” in Arabic
-Like Muslims, Jesus was circumcised (Luke 2:21)
-Like Muslims Jesus prayed with “his face onto the ground” (Matthew 26:39)
By the way, still according to the Bible, all Prophets prayed their face onto the ground:
Joshua fell his face upon the earth (Joshua 5:4)
Moses and Aaron fell their face onto the ground (Numbers 20:6)
Abraham fell on his face, and God spake to him (Genesis 17:3)
Jesus fell his face onto the ground (Matthew 26:39)
I don't know about you, but I've never seen a Christian pray the way Jesus did according to the Bible (his face onto the ground).
Peace and Love

why would Allah need a son? He created all why would he call Jesus(PBUH) on of many prophets his son? Why would Allah want you worshiping some as God but is not? Jesus(PBUH) was a great man and wonderfull Prophet but not son of God. That is the thing about Christianity, they have gotten farther and farther away from worshiping God. The only Poloythestic religon that is not named after his creater it Islam, Islam is the one religon of Allah for Allah it is not named after any man or prophet but means "peace" and "the submisson in Allah"

Jesus Christ may have been a person who existed. But I would need more than old books to confirm that he is the son of God. You wouldn't use a book written by Hippocrates as a guide to performing open heart surgery, would you?

Satan believes everything you mentioned, does that make him a Christian?
If that is your whole sales pitch at the pearly gates, you are not going to get in. (Jesus specifically said, "You will say to me Lord, Lord, but I will deny even knowing you".)
