Jews, are sons of Abraham, right? But this verse in New Testament tells us that Christians are seed (sons) of Abraham. So in a way, Christians are Jews. So... I don't really get your point.
"And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:29

I don't doubt Jews. I believe that Jesus is the Messiah promised to the Jewish people, the seed of Abraham that has become a blessing to the entire world.
The reason why Christians don't have to convert to Judaism is found in Acts Chapter 11. Some Jewish believer taught that all non-Jewish believers must get circumcised and start living according to the law given to Moses. Paul and most of the other Apostles opposed this idea. Read the whole chapter if you want to know more about this.
As far as I am concerned, Christianity and Judaism should not be regarded as two separate beliefs. Most Jews however would disagree with that. It's not only Christians who want to distance themselves from all that is Jewish. The majority of Jews also don't want anything to do with either Jesus or Christianity.

What do you mean by "doubt" Jews? Doubt that Judaism is the way to salvation? Jesus is the very center of Jewish religion from the prophecy in Genesis 3:15 through the Prophet Isaiah and the entire Torah teaches the impossibility of man being able to save himself. It is the Jews who doubted Jesus and worked in combination with the Roman authorities to kill Jesus. Happy is the Christian who understands Judaism and that it is the root from where Jesus came. Jesus was the perfect man, perfect Jew and fulfilled the Mosaic Law which no one before or since has been able to do. Indeed a true Christian is a true Jew perhaps? But the Jews wanted a worldly King and most of them missed their long awaited Messiah. Some however know Him now just as some did did 2000 years ago.

The whole theory is that J.C. is the savior and Jews have refused to accept him. That offends people who think there beleifs are the only possible correct beleifs.
Not only was J.C. not accepted by the Jews, They straight out killed the guy. I could see a lil bit of animosity on behalf of the Christians; Except for the fact that it was over 2000 years ago.
The disciples quated in the New testament had accepted J.C. as there lord and or savior. Therfore they were the first christians. They seperated themselves from the Jewish Churches at the time and taught a different lesson. They were born Jewish but Most of them died Christian.
Then theres always Judas. Judas only thought J.C. was a man. He even thought he was a great man, but still a man. Why isn't the Gospel acording to Judas included in the new testament?

Jesus is also quoted in the New Testament, and he was Jewish, too. Surely you know that Christians consider Jesus the Messiah and Jews don't.

I am unsure what you mean about doubt Jews. I believe the Old Testament which was written by the Jewish people. I also believe Israel is God's chosen people. However the Jews missed the boat on the Messiah.

In what way do you believe that Christians "doubt" Jews ? I'm sure they don't doubt that Jews exist . They don't doubt that Jesus was Jewish . Just exactly what do they doubt about Jews ?

I'm not sure what you mean from your statement but people will find any reason to hate or make themselves feel superior....they use the thing Jews crucified the Lord, forgetting that Jesus and His disciples were Jews and the backdrop of Christianity is like duh....Jewish....like it or not....
I watched the Passion of the Christ last night...hate crucified our Lord...pride, arrogance, cruelty, and greed for power killed him...the need to be God unto ourselves killed him....it just came from a Jewish source, from his own people....This is one of the things that has caused such a rift in the body....you are right to question it!!!!!

If the Jewish human beings had understood the prophecies of Isaiah, they could have understood that Messiah got here first one million) to pay the cost for guy's sins (via loss of life on the bypass, it is the curse of putting on a tree), this had to be achieved via a guy, and via a spotless guy, typified interior the Levitical sacrifices via the spotless lamb. THEN 2) Messiah could rule and reign with suited righteousness. when you consider that Israel rejected Christ via fact the Messiah, the Gentile era is now in consequence. whilst Jesus Christ returns the 2nd time, all those prophecies will actually be fulfilled. you may evaluate the previous couple of chapters of the e book of Revelation with the prophecies of Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Isaiah.

The reason I doubt is the Jews will not except Jesus as the Son of God.
