Why jews don't believe Jesus is the son of God?

Please look at   \nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org \nfor a better understanding of why we dont believe in Jesus at all!\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people. The Christian idea of the messiah is that he is supposed to be a human sacrifice that is the blood sacrifice necessary for the forgiveness of sin.\n\nBut we are taught in our Torah that no one can die for the sins of another. In Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not \nbe put to death for the children, neither \nshall the children be put to death for\nthe fathers: \nevery man shall be put to death for his \nown sin (eesh b’chet-o yumatu).\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself to atone for the sins of the people. To be written out of Gd's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. Gd's response is No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:\n\nExodus 32:30-35 And it came to pass on the \nmorrow, that Moses said unto the people, \nYe have sinned a great sin: and now I will \ngo up unto the Etrnl; perhaps I shall make \nan atonement for your sin. And Moses \nreturned unto the Etrnl, and said, Oh, \nthis people have sinned a great sin, and \nhave made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book \nwhich thou hast written. And the Etrnl \nsaid unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned \nagainst me, him will I blot out of my \nbook. \n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for Gd's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd will forgive us.\n\nSo, the Bible is clear, no one can die for the sins of another, and this means that Jesus cannot die for anyone else's sins.\n\nChristians also believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, that one who does not have such a blood sacrifice will die in their sins, and go to hell, except for the sacrifice of Jesus.\n\nThis, too, is UnBiblical. The Bible describes blood sacrifices for the forgiveness of sin in the Book of Leviticus. But it is in Leviticus itself, in the middle of the discussion of the sin sacrifices, that we are taught that we do not need a blood sacrifice to be forgiven for our sins. Offering a blood sacrifice was an expensive thing to do for the family offering the animal. Was forgiveness then, to be only for the rich? No, because if one could not afford a blood sacrifice then one who sins could bring flour, which has no blood and no life as their sacrifice, and Gd forgave them!\n\nLeviticus 5:11-13; But if he be not able to \nbring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, \nthen he that sinned shall bring for his \noffering the tenth part of an ephah of fine \nflour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil \nupon it, neither shall he put any \nfrankincense thereon: for it is a sin \noffering.\n\nFurthermore, read the Book of Jonah. In Jonah, the People of Ninevah do three things in order to be forgiven by Gd. They fast, they pray for forgiveness, and they stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgave them! This is exactly what we do on Yom Kippur, we fast, we pray for forgiveness, and, hopefully, we stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and Gd forgives us. And what book do we read on Yom Kippur afternoon? The Book of Jonah!\n\nJonah 3:7-10 And he caused it to be proclaimed \nand published through Ninevah, by the decree \nof the King and his nobles, saying, Let \nneither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste \nanything; let them not feed nor drink water; \nbut let man and beast be covered with \nsackcloth, and cry mightily unto Gd; yea, let \nthem turn every one from his evil way, and \nfrom the violence that is in their hands.

Because in the Tora it is said that no man will be greater than Moses - and Jesus had the power of resurrection, Moses did not. Thus, better. Some Jews think he did not exist, others recognize him as being a good person but not a Messiah.

Isn't Jesus the SON of God?

Actually you hit the point right on. God never refers to Himself as a 'trinity', and neither does any of His prophets. Its something Christianity made up in order to make themselves different from Jews.

PLEASE look at the following::\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org\nhttp://Convert.org \n\nThe basic beliefs of Christianity about Jesus are against what the Bible says, and so Real Jews cannot believe in Jesus at all.\n\nThe Christian understanding is that the Messiah, Jesus, died for the sins of the people.

According to the Bible, Jesus is God, and has always been God.  But in order to accomplish the salvation of man, He laid aside that right, and took a position that was less then God - that of His Son - and humbled Himself to God as His Father being obedient even to the point of dying on the cross.  Because of that, He was raised from the dead and returned to the position of full Godship with His Father.  (Read Phillippians 2: 6-11).\n\nIn the Jewish culture that Jesus lived, to term translated "the son of..." was a legal term that referred to someone who had all the rights and power of their father.  To refer to Jesus as "the son of God" meant the He had all the rights and power of God.  It is differrent that what we think of when we hear the English term "the son of...".  This is why during Jesus' trial before the Jews, when He referred to Himself as "the son of God", the high priest torn his garment and called him a blasphemer, because He made Himself equal with God.\n\nYou may debate all day whether or not Jesus was divine, but there is no room for debate over whether the Bible SAYS Jesus was divine.  There are hundreds of refers to His divinity in it.\n\nSo the answer is: Jesus, by claiming to be the Son of God, was claiming to be God.  They are the same thing.

Actually if you read bible then you would see that it were Jew scholars who said that the blame will be on us and our children as they thought that it was a noble task they were going to perform. And still Jews think that what they did was right as they still do not believe that Jesus was the one promised in their scriptures.\n\nOn the other hand the teachings of Christians do not allow them to harm Jews or take revenge of the death of Jesus as he did not die on the cross. If he did die on the cross then why the ointment was put on his wounds? Surely he did not die on the cross. If they think that he died on cross then they should accept that he died a cursed death and hence do not blame Jews for that as Bible itself says that whoever dies on cross dies a cursed death. This also proves that he was not the Promised Messiah and whatever Jews did to him was right. But since Jesus survived from cross he did not die a cursed death.\n\nIt is Koran which tells us that he was neither crucified nor murdered. That means he died a normal death and hence was a noble prophet of God.

First of all, luminary, the Catholic Church **NEVER** doubted Christ Is the Son Of God. The Catholic Church is the oldest & largest denomination of the Christian faith.\n\n I think you must be mixing Catholicism up with either Judaism or Islam.\n\n Moreover, the Catholic Church--as does Christianity as a whole--teaches that we are all God's kids. Judaism also teaches this, as do most religions(with the exception of Islam). That is why we call God 'Father.'\n\n Christ Is the Son Of God, because He Is God's Only Begotten Son. Christ Pre-existed His Incarnation, & is the Second Person Of the Trinity(3 Persons in the One Godhead).\n\n Yes, I as a Catholic, believe Jesus Christ Is the Son Of God, & its not just because of His Numerous Healings. It is because Of His Virgin Birth, His Bodily Resurrection From the Dead, & because of the fact that Our Father Himself Declared Christ His Son, first during His Baptism by St. John in the wilderness(its in all 4 Gospels), & at the Transfiguration(in the Synoptic Gospels).

Jews are not supposed to have any particular beliefs, positive or negative, about Jesus.  He's simply not part of the religion.  Same would be with Buddha, for example.\n\nIf you intend to invoke the question of "Liar, Lunatic, or Lord," The Jewish answer would be "None of the Above," because the 'L3' argument is based on acceptance of the New Testament as historical record. Only Christians would view the New Testament as a valid historical record, not Jews.

Jews believe and still follow old testament (also follow the law of Moses).\n\nThey do not believe Jesus was the true Messiah because he was born of Mary, NOT Joseph.  Joseph is the one that is a descendant of David of which the messiah is promised.  Mary, isn't a direct descendant of David, she just married into the family.  Since David didn't really have anything to do with this child (other then raise him), they don't believe Jesus was the messiah so they don't follow the new testament.  Some may believe that the New Testament is simply stories of a very blessed man, but not the messiah.

Well, easy.. because Jesus is not God neither the son of God... he's a prophet like the rest of them and a human like the rest of us.. he used to eat, drink, get hurt, laugh and suffer.\nThe word "son" in hebrew is also translated as "servant" which could be seen as Servant of God, or Slave of God. Also, the Bible has been changed many times to fit certain situations, so maybe at a certain point it seemed suitable to make Jesus become the "son" or a "god"! Or maybe some Rabbis in ancient times translated it this way in order to put Christians astray... you'll never know why it became like this!\n\nActually, you're asking if he's God or His son why did he die? Worse, how could Satan seduce him in the desert? How could Satan seduce his creator? Also, it is weird to think that God needs to become human in order to understand us!! It's funny!

Pretty much the best way to prove that Jesus was either the Son of God or not is to look to the resurrection (it does more than save people).  People have a hard time trying to prove that Jesus wasn't resurrected.  The biggest problems for those who criticize the resurrection are:\n1)  the authorities (Jewish and Roman) who tried to keep the faith from spreading, and\n2)  the martyrs.\nThere are others, but these are the major ones.

because he was not the Messiah\n\ndo you think that 99.9% of Jews rejected him without reason?\n\nan for those who say that Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of the messiah email me your best five and I will blow them out of the water.

The Jews call `Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah.... ....This phrase comes directly from Koran. It is obviuos that Mohamad wrote the Koran, not God. the Jews means all jews, just like the christians means all christians. I dont think God made such a big mistake....Koran never said some of the Jews, or some of the Christians. He clearly meant ALL.....

The Jewish concept of Messiah is one who brings freedom to the Jewish people and, usually also peace to the land of Israel. Moses, Cyrus the Persian, etc. were all Messiahs. \n\nIt's not an afterlife issue. Jews don't believe in Hell. Jews believe that dutiful following of G-d's Law results in a clear conscience at death, which results in ease in being in G-d's presence. Having a guilty conscience results in the person's spirit not being able to "face" G-d... it is the person, and not G-d, who defines one's afterlife experience. This is "deep," "subconscious" awareness of one's righteousness and/or sin, not some sort of "wish away the bad stuff" deal.  Why would you want the death of someone else (e.g. Jesus) on your soul? Having another human being "die" to take away the guilt of your own misdeeds makes no sense from the Jewish point of view. Actually any human sacrifice is clearly forbidden by the redemption of Issac. One does Mitzvah (prayer, charity, good works) to balance errors that you couldn't directly fix. If one is motivated by caring and good works, then the errors you make don't weigh too heavily on your soul, especially if you consciously seek to make things right. When the Temple existed, Temple sacrifice was a Mitzvah. It wasn't the actual food being sacrificed, but the willingness to give to the community through especially defined rules (an additional opportunity to follow Law), that cleansed the soul.\n\nWhen Jesus did not drive out the Romans and bring Israel into independence and peace, those Jews who were initially following him realized that he was not a Messiah.\n\nChristianity is actually Greco-Roman "dying god as bringer of life" cycle mythology tacked shakily onto Hebrew scripture so that Paul could start his own religous following with a Jew in the role of the dying spring god. When Rome took on Paul's concept in the 400's, they did so because they needed a religion based on submission to authority for their people, to try to hold a dying empire together.  To discourage people looking too closely at the actual concepts in the original Hebrew scripture and possibly converting fully to Judaism and away from Christianity, they modified scriptures and preached heavily to make Jews into evil servants of the ancient pagan gods (devils) in the minds of their followers, and only referred to Jewish scripture line by line, pulled out without historical and full-text (original text, not the modified stuff) context, to try to prove Jesus' divinity.
