I think if you are a Jew you will say Judaism. If you are a Christian, then you would say the church. Me, personally i am Catholic, so I agree with the church.

It is subjectives.
The catholics think they are correct because they believe J*sus fulfilled all the requirements the OT set out for the messiah, and we think J*sus did not fulfill the following requirements:
* The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)
* Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)
* The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)
* He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10)
* The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)
* Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)
* Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)
* He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)
* All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)
* Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)
* There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)
* All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)
* The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)
* He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)
* Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)
* The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)
* The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)
* Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)
* The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvot
* He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)
* Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)
* He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)
* He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9)

I think it depends on whether you are Catholic (or Christian) or if you are Jewish.
One's faith is a matter of personal choice and a fundamental human right.
While a Christian could try to argue that Jews are wrong in not accepting Jesus (I assume as Savior), it would be wrong to try to coerce anyone into accepting that belief.

If you think about it logically, why should one religion be right above any other in their beliefs? All religious scriptures are basically written by man and based from their understanding of translated text to appear more favourable to their religion, so you really only have the personal opinions of each person here to tell you which is right.
The best thing I could say to you right now is not to listen to anyone telling you what is right and what is wrong, but to discover it for yourself.

There are many different Gods with many different names...how do you know that all religions don't worship the same God...they just different names and different life stories for him....
So, the Jewish people do not believe that Jesus returned, and Catholics and Protestants do....Most protestants believe in the trinity as the Father, son and Holy Ghost...
Jews believe in God....Protestants believe in the Trinity...
God is part of the trinity...so, essentially, all believe in the same God...again, just different ideas about how he existed, etc....

Its a matter of interpretation which always gets incredibly convoluted with the Bible. So many different ways to read into things and so many opportunities to twist til you get what you want out of it.

As always with the Bible and religion people will usually believe what they choose to believe.

Neither, but Judaism is less destructive than Christianity for the time being.

That argument has been going on for nearly 2000 years and the Church hasn't gotten it right yet.

The Church. Judaism is not a dead religion; it was never a true one to begin with. As Christ said to the rabbis, "You're father is not my Father." Yahwah is not the Supreme Being. Yahwah is just a modern version of what was originally a tribal idol based on a volcano.

From my perspective, Judaism. Do you have a problem with that?
Actually, based on all your other posts, you do. Sorry that your low self-esteem has turned you into an ignorant anti-Semite.
