Do Muslims, see below quote:
"Loves of my life are Jesus, one darlin husband, four great sons, three good dogs, 5 bad cats, 3 faithful horses."
Why do we have those who antagonize?

The answerer who referred to a supposed prophecy that the messiah would be born of a virgin is basing his error on a faulty translation.
The world alma in Hebrew means a young woman and not a virgin.
And there is no prophecy that he would be struck, beat, whipped, and hung on a tree.
That's for starters.
How can you study Bible without understanding the words?

I am not sure of the mystical part, but in the Old Testament God gave promises that He would sent a Messiah, and God gave a number of ways to recognize Him.
He would be born in Bethlehem of a virgin, of the tribe of Judah.
He would heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leaper.
He would preach the good news of God's deliverance.
He would be arrested on false charges.
He would be struck, beat, whipped, and hung on a tree (crucified).
He would not speak out as a lamb before the sheerer.
He would be buried with the rich, and after 3 days He would rise again to life and ascend to the Father in Heaven.
Jesus did all this and more.
So Christianity in not a new religion, it is Judaism applied to Gentiles as God had planed, and the Jews do not need to become Christian in their ways, just believe God as He told them.

We should never forget our roots. We should never forget that Jesus was a Jew (who attended synagogue), as were his mother and adoptive father, all the apostles and even the first pope (Peter). Almost all of the first "believers" were Jews, and they all attended synagogue as well. While it is true that some Jews called for His execution (particularly those threatened by Jesus as a potential leader who threatened their hold on power) , the Catechism reminds us that every human who has ever lived bears responsibility for his crucifixion. We are all responsible.
As Christians, we believe that, in rejecting Jesus, most of the Jews rejected their own Messiah, as prophecy foretold (Isaiah 53:3-4, Hosea 11:4). As the apostle Paul points out in Romans 11, this is part of a mystery, wherein God used their lack of faith-response in order to bring the Gentiles (non-Jews) into His family. While there continue to be Jews who come to accept Jesus as the Jewish Messiah throughout history, we prayerfully hope for the day when the Jews will most fully come to accept Jesus and be "grafted back into the tree" (which St. Paul also writes about in Romans 11).

Christianity, basically uncomplicated Christianity is a faith and it is headquarters are literally not in this earth. Christianity is the religion of following Christ (Jesus). Jesus, himself, declared somewhat openly that his "...kingdom isn't of this international." LIke in Judaism, pretenders get up and lead many off beam. Jesus is IN heaven. His Father, the author, is nicely customary to be, in Heaven. The headquarters hasn't ever been in this earth. a pair (human) leaders were, yet they have continually been in charge to heaven.

Christianity today is just another watered down version of mans ideas of spiritual truth. Nothing mystical about it.

It's not a matter of belief. It's historical fact.
