Whereas, they consider him as false messiah and deciever, and some of them even consider him to be illegimate child.
If messianic jews exists, they are small minority different from mainstream Jews. In general jews rejects messiah outrightly.

JavaJoe: No, they do not even consider him as prophet and Muslim consider him as Messiah as well, but not son of God.

These days the Christians and Jews know that Jesus is a profit because they look at the profit and loss statement and it is really clear. The local mega church has a mega book and souvenir shop with officially licensed Jesus paraphernalia. His company makes a big profit off of that.

Muslims do NOT consider him the messiah, they consider him a prophet.
Most Christians do not believe that Jews consider Jesus a Messiah or prophet. I think maybe you are confused with the difference between "some Christians" and "most Christians."

Jews believe all kinds of things about Jesus, in fact -Chrisitans- believe all kinds of things about Jesus. There are Christians who don't believe Jesus was born of a virgin or resurrected.
There are Jews who believe Jesus never existed, and those who believe he might have existed and that his teachings are very good. A 'prophet' in the Old Testament is someone who God chose to speak for him, and since Jesus speaks for God, if you believed he existed you could believe he was a prophet.
There are, however, no Jews who believe that Jesus was the Son of God, part of a Trinity, that he made the Old Testament obsolete, or anything like that. If they believed that they wouldn't be Jews, they'd be Christians.
I was raised Jewish myself and I believe that Jesus' teachings are the most important thing about him. The teachings, in fact, are more important than whether he was a holy person, or for that matter, whether he really existed. But you have to realize the difference between Judaism and Christianity is not just in -what- they believe but -how-. Christianity is about doctrine and belief. Judaism is more about principle, about morals and ethics. That's why Jesus' teachings are admired by Jews much more than the importance of proper beliefs.

I'm a Christian and I have never thought that. Jewish people do not believe that Jesus existed at all. They do not consider him to be any prophet or anything like that. I do not think that the so-called Messianic Jews are seen by other Jews as real Jewish people.

The apostle Paul teaches that the Jews are presently being supernaturally blinded to the Messiahship of Jesus, but that one day the whole nation of Israel will recognize Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah. Whereas Muslims do not give proper account to the power of God to keep His revelations pure, for they say the Injil is corrupted, even though Mohamed himself said it was the revelation of God. We have the uncorrupted teachings of Jesus, and we know he was more than a prophet. In the Injil God spoke from heaven and said of Jesus, "This is my beloved Son; Hear Him." This is what the Christians do, because we are obedient to the command of God, the command which God Himself has preserved for us in the uncorrupted Injil, that we might know Him and be saved from our sins.

I'm not aware of any Christians having the perception that Jews consider Jesus a prophet of their faith. I imagine some Jews view him as a reformer who effected some positive change in their faith and its leadership. Open-minded people of all faiths are able to see wisdom in teachings from other traditions - in that more general sense, Jesus could be seen as a prophetic voice by Christians and non-Christians alike.

Christians do not necessarily believe that Jesus made the Old Testament obsolete. They believe that He FULFILLED the Old Testament. Big difference!
And Jewish people who think they can be Christian and Jewish at the same time don't understand the New Testament. They're still hanging onto their old carnality.
Now as for what most Christians think about Jewish people, I would agree that a very large number of Christians do have strange ideas about some things.

The Jewish people rejected God, but believed. But refuse to believe the Son Jesus Christ.
But in the word of God says, when He and His chosen-one comes back to earth, the Jewish people will realize He is the Messiah they will wept openly.

There are more Jewish people believe in their Messiah than you might think.
There are many different opinions about among Jewish people who Jesus Christ was..
Some say Jews stop being Jews and are now Christians when they believe Jesus is their Messiah - i can tell you this is not true.

How would you know what most Christians or Jews think? You're a muslim and, judging by your previous Q's and A's, not a very honest one.
