The Requirements for the Messiah and Christian Contradictions.\n\nA. Here is just a brief list of some of the requirements for the Messiah:\n\n(1) He must be Jewish (see Deut. 17:15; Numb. 24:17);\n(2) He must be descended from Judah (Gen. 49:10) and Solomon (numerous places, but see I Chron 22:9-10);\n(3) With the coming of the Messiah will be the physical ingathering of Judah from the four corners of the earth (Isa. 11:12, 27:12-13);\n(4) Also with coming of the Messiah will be the reestablishment of the Holy Temple (Micah 4:1);\n(5) In addition the Messianic age will be one of world-wide peace (Isa. 2:4, 11:6, Micah 4:3); and, finally,\n(6) In the Messianic age the entire world will believe in G-d (Isa. 11:9, 40:5; Zephaniah 3:9).\n\nB. Satisfying the Criteria -- the Geneology Problem\n\nEven if Christians could establish that (a) Jesus existed and (b) Jesus was Jewish, they would have trouble proving that (c) Jesus was descended from Judah and Solomon. Both of the detailed geneologies in Matthew and Luke trace Joseph's lineage to King David, albeit differently since Matt. 1:16 says that a fellow named Jacob was Jospeph's father, and Luke 3:23 tells us that Joseph was the son of Eli. (It seems that that family had a lot of problems determining fatherhood.) But these geneologies are bogus because Matthew tells us that Joseph wasn't the father of Jesus, but Mary was still a virgin even after he was conceived through the "Holy Spirit"! Matt. 1:18. Since we know that geneology runs from the father (Numbers 1:18; 2:2), Jesus cannot claim descendency from Judah.\n\nC. No Messianic Era.\n\nEven still, Christians still have a problem because they still can't establish points 3, 4, 5, or 6 in paragraph A, above. Saying that those events will happen in a Second coming is circular at best and contradicts Revelations 22:20 ("Yes, I am coming quickly.")\n\n\n  \nAbuse and Misquotes of the Hebrew Bible\n\nA. Isaiah 53. Who Was the "Suffering Servant"?\n\nMissionaries commonly Isaiah 53 as a proof text that the Messiah will suffer for the people's sins. E.g.:\n\n"(3)He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with sickness; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not:\n(4)Surely he has borne our sicknesses, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, struck by God, and afflicted:\n(5)But he was wounded because of our transgressions, he was bruised because of our iniquities; his sufferings were that we might have peace; and by his injury we are healed:\n(6)All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all:\n(7)He was oppressed, but he humbled himself and opened not his mouth; he was brought like a lamb to the slaughter, and like a sheep, that is dumb before its shearers, he did not open his mouth:\n(8)By oppression and false judgment was he taken away; and of his generation who considered? For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people:\n(9)And they made his grave among the wicked, and his tomb among the rich; although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth:"\n\nOn its face it sounds convincing in retrospect knowing what we know about Jesus from the NT only. But, who is the "he" referred to in the verses? Let's trace it back a few lines to the previous chapter (52), where the discussion of what "he" will do begins. At 52:13 it appears to begin with "Behold, my servant shall prosper, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high."\n\nOK, so now we know that "he" is G-d's "servant." But who is G-d's "servant"? Let's trace our steps a little further. In Isaiah 41:8 the question is answered: "But Israel is my servant." The next line, Isaiah 41:9, adds some more: "You are

The main predictions concerning the Messiah are that he will bring peace to the world, gather the Jewish people from their exile to the land of Israel and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. After Jesus' appearance, the Temple was destroyed, the Jews were exiled all over the world and we have not even had one day of peace in the past 2,000 years. (Many of the wars in fact were started and fought by followers of Jesus) These events are enough to show that he was not the messiah.\n\nThe main Christian responses to these objections are:\n\n   1. The Second Coming - First of all, we find this to be a contrived answer, since there is no mention of a second coming in the Jewish Bible. Second, why couldn't G-d accomplish His goals the first time round. Most importantly, the second coming idea is just an attempt at answering an obvious question but it certainly does not constitute proof of messianic claims.\n\n   2. There is peace within his followers hearts - That is wonderful for them, but does that help the victims of the Inquisition, the Crusades, the Hundred Years War, the First World War, the Second World War etc. In each of the events that I mentioned most if not all the combatants, the violent oppressors and torturers where people who claimed to be followers of Jesus. And is peace in the heart a fulfillment of "swords into plowshares etc."

NOPE HE IS NOT THE SON OF MAN.. JESUS WAS JUST A JEWISH GUY THAT RAN AROUND DOING TORAH TEACHINGS AND WAS GREATLY MISUNDERSTOOD.

Nope.  He wasn't the first person to bill himself as the messiah, nor was he the last.  he mixed political stances with rippped of teachings from the Torah and Rabbis of the time.  He did not teach anything new or exceptional, but merely sought popularism through taking stances that would appeal to the masses.

Jews were not responsible for the death of Jesus, regardless of what Mel Gibson thinks.\n\nJews did not accept Jesus as the messiah because he did not fulfill the prophecies about the messiah. Christianity claims Jesus will finish the prophecies in his second coming, but according to Judaism the messiah will not die before all the prophecies are realized.

Christ is the Greek translation of  the title Messiah. Jesus is also a translation of the name Yeshua. So, Jesus is his name, and Christ is his title.

Jacob (called Israel) had 12 sons.  Each son became the head of a tribe and their descendants were called by the name of that son. (Much like today a person whose last name is Peterson probably had an ancestor called Peter).\n\nNo, you can't tell which one you belong to unless you happen to be a Cohen since they were not allowed to intermarry. But God knows who is from which tribe.\n\nBenifits depend upon which tribe. Kingship was given to the Tribe of Judah. Religious leadership was given to the Tribe of Levi.\n\nIsrael was split after King Solomon. The northern tribes were dispersed, and according to Rabbi Akiva will never be seen again.  Other rabbis believe that they will be identified again when Messiah comes.

http://www.jewsforjesus.org/\nHere is a website that may answer your questions.\n\nBut I am Jewish and the term Jews for Jesus is a contradiction in terms,,,,,,Jews don't believe that Jesus is the savior, just that he is a man who is Jewish.  We call them Christians.

WWJD? He was 100% Torah-observant as He walked the earth; He kept the Sabbath holy, He celebrated the Feasts of the Lord, He ate only clean food, He wore tzitzit.... Yeshua the Messiah was born a Jew, lived as a Jew, taught as a Jew; His original followers were Jews. To claim that they were not Jews or Jewish is ludicrous! Even Paul was a Law-abiding Pharisee. The Bereans checked what Paul taught with the OT - the OT was the standard Paul had to meet.\n\nWhat is not Jewish in Christianity are the heresies which Emperor Constantine formalized for the Roman Empire and which his puppet Pope, Sylvester, claimed the authority & power to change God's Law and rubber-stamped the apostasy into canon law of the Roman Catholic Church. Unfortunately, when the Reformers tried to break away from the vain traditions of men, they were not successful; they failed by maintaining Sunday Sabbath, Easter Sunday, Christmas - things which the Bereans would not have accepted, things which Paul would not have accepted, things which the original disciples & apostles would not have accepted. Who thinks that God would ever accept those traditions?! (Hint: God has NEVER tolerated any paganism mixed in with His worship. Paganism is an abhorrent abomination to God.)\n\nYou cannot server two masters.... You can follow the path of Yeshua the Messiah, The Way, the Truth & the Life. Or, you can follow the path of a pagan emperor (until his death bed baptism - for whatever good that did, only God knows) and the traditions of Popes (& Reformers, et al).

We do not believe in Jesus, because he did not fulfill the requirements for the Jewish Messiah.  These are:\n   1. The Messiah is born of two human parents, as we said.But Jesus, according to Christian theology, was born of a union between a Human woman and God, rather than two HUMAN parents, as was Hercules, and Dionysis, as well as many other pagan gods.\n   2. The Messiah can trace his lineage through his human biological father, back to King David (Isaiah 11:1,10; Jeremiah 23:5; Ezekiel 34:23-24; 37:21-28; Jeremiah 30:7-10; 33:14-16; and Hosea 3:4-5). But Jesus's lineage cannot go through his human father, according to Christian theology, as Jesus's father was not Joseph the husband of Mary. According to Christian theology, Jesus's father was God.\n   3. The Messiah traces his lineage only through King Solomon (II Samuel 7:12-17; I Chronicles 22:9-10). But according to Luke 3:31, Jesus was a descendant of Nathan, another son of King David, and not a descendant of King David through King Solomon.\n   4. The Messiah cannot trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17; Jeremiah 22:18,30). But according to both Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel. \n\nAccording to the Jewish definition of the term, the Real Messiah will make changes in the real world, changes that one can see and perceive and be able to prove because these changes take place in the real world. It is for this task that the real messiah has been anointed in the first place, hence the term, messiah -- one who is anointed. These changes, that one will be able to see and perceive in the real world, include:\n\n   1. The Messiah is preceded by Elijah the prophet who, with the Messiah, unifies the family (Malachi 4:5-6), which is contradicted by Jesus in Matthew 10:34-37.\n   2. The Messiah re-establishes the Davidic dynasty through the messiah's own children (Daniel 7:13-14). But Jesus had no children.\n   3. The Messiah brings an eternal peace between all nations, between all peoples, and between all people (Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-4; Ezekiel 39:9). Obviously there is no peace. Furthermore, Jesus said that his purpose in coming was to bring a sword, and not peace (see Matthew 10:34, as referenced above.)\n   4. The Messiah brings about the universal world-wide conversion of all peoples to Judaism, or at least to Ethical Monotheism (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Zechariah 8:23; Isaiah 11:9; Zechariah 14:9,16). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.\n   5. The Messiah brings about an end to all forms of idolatry (Zechariah 13:2). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.\n   6. The Messiah brings about a universal recognition that the Jewish idea of God is God (Isaiah 11:9). But the world remains steeped in idolatry.\n   7. The Messiah leads the world to become vegetarian (Isaiah 11:6-9). It isn't.\n   8. The Messiah gathers to Israel, all of the twelve tribes (Ezekiel 36:24). Many of the ten lost tribes remain lost.\n   9. The Messiah rebuilds The Temple (Isaiah 2:2; Ezekiel 37:26-28). It hasn't been rebuilt.\n  10. There will be no more famine (Ezekiel 36:29-30). People starve to death every day.\n  11. After the Messiah comes, death will eventually cease (Isaiah 25:8). People die every day.\n  12. Eventually the dead will be resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; Daniel 12:2; Ezekiel 37:12-13; Isaiah 43:5-6);\n  13. The nations of the earth will help the Jews, materially (Isaiah 60:5-6; 60:10-12;\n  14. The Jews will be sought out for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23);\n  15. All weapons will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9,12);\n  16. The Nile will run dry (Isaiah 11:15)\n  17. Monthly, the trees of Israel will yield their fruit (Ezekiel 47:12);\n  18. Each tribe of Israel will receive and settle their inherited land (Ezekiel 47:13-13);\n  19. The nations of the earth will recognize that they have been wrong, that the Jews have been right, and that the sins

Well...\nWe'd probably be all Jewish and still waiting for the Messiah.\n\nGoodluck!

There are two very important things to remember about this:\n\n1)  G-d is a god of grace and giving.  If your Rabbi says that it is very important (either to him, or to the synogogue, or whatever) for you to have this mat mitzvah, then, unless you have a solid objection, it is good to offer him the grace of doing it.  Do your best to learn what you need to learn, and share your concerns with your Rabbi and your parents.  They'll help you through it and help you figure out what the best decisions are.  Don't be too concerned about "making a mistake" or "messing up."  Just do the best you can, and G-d will be pleased with you.  Seek after him (like the deer after water, yes?) and you will always find him; honor him in your heart and mind, and he will accept your offering with pleasure, whether anyone else thinks it is grand or small.\n\n2)  Christianity is Judaism.  In case any kind of conflict arises (in you or family, or whatever), remember that Jesus is the *JEWISH* Messiah.  I, myself, converted to the faith of Abraham long ago and I celebrate his messiah, the son of David, who is my own savior as well.  There are many Christians who do not understand that when they accepted Jesus, they were coming into the Jewish faith, and there are many Jews who do not understand that Jesus is the messiah.  But everyone is where he is, and G-d is faithful to bring each one to him, when they trust in his son, the Messiah.  When a Jew sees this, he distinguishes himself from one who doesn't by calling himself a "Messianic Jew" (instead of a Christian ... usually the word "Christian" these days means gentiles who converted and became Messianic Jews).

He loves God with his whole heart, soul, mind & strength. He loves, reads & meditates on God's Word/the Torah/Scripture day & night. He seeks to do God's will. He has a circumcised heart with God's Law written on it.\n\nHe knows God is One; Unity. He knows that God is perfect & unchanging, His Law is perfect & unchanging, His Scripture (OT & NT) is unified, congruent and unchanging.\n\nHe follows in the straight & narrow path of the Torah-observant Suffering Messiah.\n\nHe looks forward with anticipation to the return of the Victorious Messiah.\n\nAnd he loves his neighbor (everybody) at least as well as he loves himself.
