The title 'god' or 'God' can be applied to Jesus. It's like the title Atty. (Psalm 82:1-6) But Jesus is not God Almighty. He admits to the following:\n1. He is a worshipper of the Almighty God, Jehovah. (John 20:17 ?)\n2.His Father is greater than he is. (John 14:28)\n3. He does not have the authority to appoint who will sit at his right hand. Only his Father has that authority. (Matthew 20:20-23)\n\nHe was seen by many. Whereas no one can see God and live. (Exodus 33:20?)\n\nThrow away the concept of a Trinity. It confuses many. Further, it is pagan in origin and therefor unclean in God's eyes.\n\nhave a good day.

Jesus was neither a Republican or a Democrat.

No we dont. I believe in Jesus as son of God, hence Christian. If I were Muslim Id believe him a prophet, and if I were Jew, I would not believe in him at all.

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.

Judism believes that the Messiah is yet to come.  The scriptures promised that a messiah will come to free the Jews from all oppression. Christians believe that Jesus Christ was (is) the promised messiah.

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.

Muslims (and Islam) say Jesus was a prophet but they reject all His teachings ....that is hypocrisy.\n\nThey reject Christ's divinity;\nthey reject his claim to be the Son of God;\nthey reject his death on the cross...\nthey reject His ressurrection..\nThey reject Jesus is the Christ/ Messiah...\nNeed I say more...?\n\nDon't be deceived. The Islamic god is totally different than the God of Jesus Christ .\n\n"Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ?  He is anti-Christ, that denies the Father and the Son. He that denies the Son, the same has not the Father." (I John 2:22)

Yes, in the sense that they do not recognize Him as the Messiah.  They bad mouth him and even called Him the bastard child of a Roman soldier with the Virgin Mary..\nThey look at Christ as an outsider and just the son of a carpenter who was crucified for nothing.  They think that their Messiah should come as a conquering hero and an overpowering person, or maybe they think their Messiah should come from within the ranks of their Pharisees or Sanhedrins.  They do not honor and respect God's will that the Messiah should be a role model or the epitome of humility and perfect obedience.\nUnless they recognize Him and accept Him as the Messiah, they wil never, never obtain peace like their counterpart the Islamists who also reject Jesus Christ.

Yes he is the messiah, there is a book called "A Case for Christ". That book can, if read with an open mind, persuade most people that He really is the Messiah. He fullfilled every single prophecy there was for the Messiah! Every single one that was written hundreds or maybe even thousands of years before he was even born! The chances of one person fullfilling every prophecy, which is in that book, is almost nonexistent.

Christians are like this.  I left the religion because of it, plus, the fact that I do not believe Jesus is G-d.  G-d is One.  Judaism fits me just fine.

There are Messianic Jews that believe Jesus Christ is the Messiah,  all other Jews typically believe that he has yet to come and are waiting for his return and the rebuilding of theie Temple in Old Jerusalem.

Gnosticism was long thought to be a corruption of Christianity but more current thinking is that its roots are pre-Christian. It is highly unlikely, though not absolutely proveable that Jesus was not a Gnostic. The Essenes were a splinter Jewish sect so that was around during Jesus' life. There are some who believe that Jesus was an Essene. Others believe he spent some of his wilderness time with Essenes. Still others think that he never encountered yhe Essenes. Most who compare the recorded thoughts of Jesus with the recorded Essene tracts believe that they are incompatible. It is very unlikely, though not absolutely proveable, that Jesus was ever an Essene.

Isn't Jesus the SON of God?

As a matter of fact there are some Jews who believe that Jesus is the Son of God. They have a website actually, though I can't remeber it now. I think it's called Jews for Chirst or something like that. They are in the minority however.\n\nI do know many Jews are put off by Jesus Christ, because many arrogant people (including some Christians) like to blame the Jews for the death of Christ. They seem to forget that GOD KILLED CHRIST. Not the Jews, not the Romans. God killed his own son, because it was part of His plan for the redemption of mankind.\n\nI also think because of all of the warnings about idol worshiping and false gods in the Old Testament some Christians (not all) tend to be a little over hyper about their attitude towars people of other religons. They don't truly mean any harm, you understand. But there is no need to degrade some one else's religon because they belive differently then you do. I don't think God's impressed with that. Just the oposite.\n\nI do believe God is concerned about our faith. I also believe God will be concerned when we stand before him about how we treated the Jews, Muslims, Gentiles the Non-Christians, if you know what I mean.\n\nYes I am a Christian.
