Christians & Muslims believe in Jesus Christ-Why don't Jews??

Answer 1

Because assuming he existed, and assuming he did what the NT said, it STILL has NOTING to do with anything a Jewish messiah was supposed to do.

Answer 2

I'd like a dollar every time someone asked this question.

First, J*sus did not fulfill any of these prophecies BEFORE he died: (which are still just some of them)

Is there universal knowledge of one G-d? (Jeremiah 31:33, Zechariah 8:23, 14:9, 14:16,
Isaiah 11:9, Isaiah 40:5, Zephaniah 3:9)
Were all Jews returned to Israel? (Isaiah 43:5-6, Isaiah 11:12, Isaiah 27:12-13)
Did he bring world peace? (Isaiah 11:6, Micah 4:3)
Were all weapons destroyed? (Ezekiel 39:9)
Did all warfare cease? (Isaiah 2:4)
Was the Temple rebuilt in it's place? (Ezekiel 37:24-28 Ezekiel 40-48, Isaiah 33:20, Micah
4:1)
Did he bring physical restoration to all who are sick or disabled in any way? (Isaiah
35:5-6)
Was he preceded by Elijah? (Malachi 3:23-24-- 4:4-5 in KJV)
Did the nations help the Jews materially? (Isaiah 60:5, 60:10-12, 61:6)
Does eternal joy and gladness characterize the Jewish nation? (Isaiah 51:11)
Are Jews sought for spiritual guidance? (Zechariah 8:23)
Is the Egyptian river dry yet? (Isaiah 11:15)
Do trees in Israel yield new fruit every month? (Ezekiel 47:12)
Did each tribe receive it's inheritance? (Ezekiel 47:13-14)
Is the enemy buried? (Ezekiel 39:12)
Did he accomplish these tasks without tiring or failing? (Isaiah 42:4)
Did death cease? (Isaiah 25:8)
Are the dead resurrected? (Isaiah 26:19, Daniel 12:2, Ezekiel 37:12-13)

SECONDLY

a) No Man Can Be a G-d. The Torah makes it clear that there is only one omnipotent, indivisible G-d: "The L-rd He is G-d; there is none else besides him" (Deuteronomy 4:35)." G-d is unique unto Himself, and does not consist of a trinity: "The L-rd He is G-d in heaven above and upon the earth below; there is none else" (Deuteronomy 4:39). JC himself accepted G-d's uniqueness: "And he (JC) said unto him, 'Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, G-d." (Matthew 19:17). How, then, could a mortal man-one who was born and who died on a cross-be a segment of an immortal, indivisible G-d? There is no concept of infinity possible if G-d is a man or a Trinity. The Torah states clearly: "G-d is not a man" (Numbers 23:19).

THIRDLY

b) JC did not keep Jewish law. The Moshiach is expected to keep all the laws of the Torah, and to inspire others to do likewise. (See Deuteronomy 13). However, at times JC considered himself to be above the law: "For the Son of Man is master even of the Sabbath" (Matthew 12:8). He broke the laws of the Sabbath ­part of the Ten Commandments-and reviled the Rabbis, who are accorded great respect by the Torah. JC did not even always espouse peace: "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34). Can one who denies G-d's sacred law be His Messiah?

FOURTHLY

d) Lack of Jewish support. JC lived at the time of Roman suppression of the Jews. The Jewish people eagerly looked forward to the arrival of the Moshiach. They were certainly well-versed in the requirements to be filled by the true Moshiach, and would definitely have accepted the Moshiach if it was clear that he had appeared. Yet the Jews of that time—and especially the learned Sages—rejected JC' claims to be the Messiah. They knew and saw JC in the flesh, and found him wanting; on the other hand, Paul of Tarsus, who established the Christian religion, never knew JC personally. If JC were indeed the Messiah, why did his fellow Jews, who had every reason to want a Messiah, almost unanimously reject him?

FINALLY, NO, JUDAISM DOES NOT ACCEPT HIM AS A PROPHET. That is all.

Answer 3

Christians should ask themselves why the Jews don't believe in Jesus and not come to their own conclusions, but actually ASK the Jews why they don't believe in Jesus. There are Jewish websites that explain why they don't. Their reasons are valid.

The question Christians should be asking themselves is why have the old testament texts have been interpreted for Christians the way they have when the Jews know that text better than Christians and yet they still reject Jesus.

Answer 4

Because they are selfish and proud. They love nationalism so much that they believe the Messiah is a political king. Everything is me me me with Jews. The Inquisition, the Holocaust, Israel. As if they didn't bring their own problems on themselves. Why do they live in the West? St. Peter and St. Paul and the early Christians were hated by the Jews.

Answer 5

Christians believe that Jesus was GOD.

Muslims believe that man lived named Jesus.

Jews believe that Jesus was a man also.

Its funny how today Jews say he did nothing that messiah was supposed to do..but all the people who believed in him the first 40 years were jews pretty much.
Some of them full time scholars with access to copies of scriptures long lost.

The Book of Hebrews was written by a Jewish scholar who studied with the finest Jewish minds of the day.
He wrote the letter to try to show that Jesus did in fact fullfill the requirements of Messiah..

Answer 6

Jews believe that there was a Jesus Christ, but not that he is our savior. They just believe that Jesus was a good man or prophet. THey don't believe in his death and resurrection. THey do not believe this, because God has blinded so many Jews(for a good reason, I'm sure), but slowly but surely more and more Jews are becoming Christians and believe that Jesus Christ truly died for their sins and resurrected.

Answer 7

A. Muslims do not believe that Jesus is equal with the Father as he stated in the Gospel of John.

B. The Jewish do not accept His claim to be their messiah. They expected Their King to Come In Glory and save their people. Jesus came and saved the people but the Glory comes later.

They want it now.

Answer 8

Mostly because if you overlook the paucity of historical record which would prove that he even existed, he did not, in his heritage, nor in his behavior, demeanor or actions, fulfill what the messiah will be.

We can't figure out why you all DO believe in him. makes no sense to us. We know our texts better than you.

And BTW, he was not a prophet according to Judaism.

Answer 9

Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet (teacher), Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God.

Where did you get your misinformation?

Answer 10

Jews know our scripture and it is clear if he even existed he was just a man.
