Jews, Christians, and the Church fo Christ?

Question

If Jesus was the King of the Jews, how come Jews are not Christians.

What are some of the things members of Church of Christ are not allowed to do?

Answer 1

Church of Christ members can do whatever they like as long as they have a clear conscience. It's a free country and no one will arrest them for being worldly.

Answer 2

Okay it's like this:

Perhaps you've heard of the Exodus. When Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt?

Well, after they got out of Egypt they were constantly pissing God off, they doubted Him and would say things like, " Oh God let us out here in the desert to die. I wish we were back in Egypt.

After quite a while, God got pretty sick of their attitude. Because while in the desert, He had been getting them out of every difficult circumstance that they came across.

So what He did was promise them something:
Deuteronomy 32
21 They have roused my jealousy by worshiping non-gods; they have provoked my fury with useless idols. Now I will rouse their jealousy by blessing other nations; I will provoke their fury by blessing the foolish Gentiles.

And so He did. That wasn't the only place that God promised to confound them. After the kingdoms of Israel were established, God again reinforced His promise, this time putting a little more information on the table:
Psalm 118
22 The stone rejected by the builders has now become the cornerstone.
23 This is the LORD's doing, and it is marvelous to see.
24 This is the day the LORD has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus being the stone the builders rejected. He became the chief cornerstone. The whole 'building' rests on him.

So what I am saying is that God told the Jews that He would make them jealous of the Gentiles, and they would be left out of the whole thing except for a remnant of Jews.

And that's why only some Jews believe in Jesus. Even though they have rich information about Jesus, God saw to it that they as a nation would not believe.

I that, God has promised that they would believe one day. That's when the Second Coming occurs. ( See Zechariah 14)

So the Jews don't believe in the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth because God promised them they wouldn't believe.

And then He did it.

Answer 3

I am not a member of the church of Christ, but I would like to answer your first question.

Jesus only preached to God's people at the time, the natural Israelites, so that they could be the first to learn from him what they needed to know in order to gain salvation, such as all of the information given to the Apostles. (Matthew 10:5, 6) However, the majority, but not all, of the Jews rejected him. When they refused to acknowledge Jesus as God's son and kept rebuking him, God's approval was taken from the natural Israelites (including the Jews) and was given to Christ's followers for listening to and following the teachings of His son, and accepting him as savior. (Matthew 23:37, 38) Again, some Israelites in that day did turn to serving Jesus such as the 12 apostles and Judas' replacement Matathias (Acts 2:7).

Answer 4

Because Jews do not believe that the Messiah has come. Jesus is the Son of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and the Isrealites (Jewish bloodline) are His chosen people. He sent His Son to save them and be their king, as God Himself if their king. But the Jews did not believe Jesus to be the Messiah. The Jews that did believe in Him became the first Christians.

Answer 5

Answer 6

You mean, how come Christians are not Jews? Jesus never spoke about converting to another religion. That's religions idea.

Answer 7

Your question really should be WHY ARE CHRISTIANS NOT JEWS? They are supposed to be 'grafted unto the vine', and as you pointed out, He is Jewish so BELIEVERS should be JEWISH TOO. Look at the book of Ruth. She was from MOAB, who were IDOL WORSHIPPERS, but married a jewish man and understood the TRUE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JACOB, and would follow that ONE TRUE GOD even to death.
Kind of an 'upside down' world we live in, isn't it?
