Quote:Jesus may have taught many good things, but that doesn't qualify him to be the Jewish messiah.He taught like absolutly outstanding things like:
There is a very long list of reasons why most Jewish people do not accept him a either G-d or the messiah.
Have you not heard about any of those reasons?
Love your enemies (who else did this in history?) -
Bless who curses you -
who sees me sees the father -
and so on...
In general I think it is the same for Jews or any other people in the world why they don't want to accept Jesus as Messiah, since the evidence in the scriptures about him, his teachings, wonders and his death and resurrection is for everybody accessible very well documented and by many testified.
It is similar for people of all kind of background to have at first a stone heart and don't want to change their way of living and thinking and stay their own "gods" or lords and aren't humble enough to find out and accept how god really is. So most people just stick with the lie that it was all just a consistent lie invented by hundreds of different people.
For Jews, who really believe in god and the Tanakh, as a Christian you would assume it must be so obvious that Jesus was the Messiah, since so many phrases correspond just perfectly to his life.
On the other side I have to agree I don't know very well all the arguments, but I heard a couple of times that they expect The Messiah directly coming in glory bringing Israel to it's former or even greater glory, bringing peace on earth and so on.
But for me this is like taking just the passages of the Tanakh that fit into what you like to hear, but all the passages were it mentions that he will have to suffer, he will be poor, that he will have to die, to put to a grave and all that stuff will be just ignored by many Jews, because they don't like to hear that!?
But the Jews are also right since The Messiah will come and do all this beautiful stuff they are waiting for, but it will be Jesus. So he was already here but few accepted him like this.
But the sacrifice was needed, before the glory! To get clean before god.
How do Jews nowadays get relieved from their sins?
They are not even sacrificing sheep and cattle anymore! So they are all in their sins and will die in their sins like everybody else on this planet who doesn't accept the sacrifice god himself offered.
It is quite straight forward and all the Tanakh makes sense with Jesus the Messiah, but without him... where is the temple? What about the sin? since 2400 years god is silent, no prophets any more!? What is going on?
Sorry, that is just my humble unqualified perspectiv about the Jewish faith without Jesus.
