What ? You think because Im Jewish I cant believe in Jesus ? Who says that we cant believe in Him ? He came to us first. It is our first right. I believe in Jesus BECAUSE I AM JEWISH and the Jewish prophets said He was our Messiah. Isaiah 53
...and Im still jewish....He made me complete...its veryyyy Jewish to believe in Him.

Who said you couldn't believe in Jesus? I have been to Israel and have gone to Messianic churches where they are Jewish and believe in Jesus. There are people I know who are Jewish and believe in Jesus. You are right, He did come to the Jew first. He also came to the Gentiles to so we can believe in Him too. He came for everyone not just the Jews. I love the Jews and if it wasn't for the Jews, Jesus wouldn't of come to the Gentiles. I am so grateful to the Jews. I am being serious.

The whole point is just to believe what you want, or what you're told, and be happy with it. Everybody on this earth, with very few exceptions, believe with full certainty that their beliefs are right. The only problem is too many people need to try to convince everybody else they're right.
Anyway, jews never denied the existence of Jesus, just his godliness and resurrection. And it is not very Jewish to believe in him, and in some ways it's against it. One can go as far as saying that worshipping a human as God is worshipping a false idol, which, from what I understand from the first testiment, he wouldn't appreciate at all. I wonder if all jesus believers are actually going to hell.

Sorry, if one believes that Jesus is the messiah then one is no longer Jewish. Those who do may not like it but guess what, *we* get to make the rules, *we* get to decide who is or is not a member of our faith.
Oh, and by the way, you should read the Bible more carefully. Taken in context with Isaiah 52, instead of just yanked out on its own, Isaiah 53 **clearly** refers to Israel and ***NOT*** to Jesus or anyone else.

Actually you're not Jewish... you're Christian.
Get it once and for all: You CANNOT be Jewish and believe in Jesus. It's impossible, the two beliefs are incompatible. Beliving in Jesus as the Messiah/son of G-d goes COMPLETELY against ALL Jewish belief.
Nice try, though.

The original Jewish Christians were pretty much hounded out of existence during the first 3 or 4 centuries after Jesus. They accepted Jesus, but not as God, or a god. The whole Hellenists created a triune God concept, which Jew couldn't accept because it violated their idea of One God. Since they were Jews, and Christian heretics at the same time, they simply didn't survive. Modern-day "Jews for Jesus" are ethnic Jews who have converted to a modern form of Christianity. IMO, not the same thing at all.

No, I know because you're Jewish you can't believe in JC and remain a Jew. According to Judaism, you're an apostate because you reject the prophets and accept a man as a god. This is blasphemy and idolatry, and you are no longer accepted as a Jew in the Jewish community.
It's not Jewish at all to believe in him. It's pagan.

I completely respect your belief in Jesus, however I think you may be a christian. I am interested to know if you believe in the new testament as well as the old, if so you are definately a christian. I am pretty sure that Jews among others were involved in the crucifiction of christ because they thought he was a heretic.

If you're Christian, why aren't you proud of that fact and call yourself Christian? Why aren't you proud of the fact that you've moved on from all those unnecessary laws and silly traditions? Why do you want to be a part of a culture that believes human sacrifice to be an abomination and belief that God would become human the ultimate heresy?
