Judaism

“…Benyamin Cohen, an Orthodox Jew who spent a recent year going to church, admitted that he’s jealous that Christians have Jesus.“

[Hmm, that's one we've never heard before.]

[ASND found this quote from that story interesting as well...]

“The belief that any man is God is an abomination to Judaism, a position that Jesus himself would maintain.“

[ASND is grateful to that Jewish scholar for his obviously learned New Testament familiarity .]

[For those completed Jews [aka Christians) who don't know, the Jewish Rabbi Yeshua (aka Jesus) of Nazareth supported the above-cited Rabbis explicitly vis-a-vis the Torah.]

The Jewishness of the New Testament

Jewish Objections to Jesus:

“Jews don’t believe in Jesus.”

“I was born a Jew and I will die a Jew!”

“A person is either Jewish or Christian. I’m Jewish.”

“Doesn’t belief in Jesus mean that you’re no longer Jewish? As I understand it, belief in Jesus and Jewishness in any form are incompatible.”

http://www.jewishvoice.org/who-is-yeshua/jewish-objections-to-jesus/general-objections/

“If Jesus is really the Messiah, why isn’t there peace on Earth?”

“Why have wars, famines, and human suffering only increased since Jesus came?”

“There was no Jewish expectation in the first century that the Messiah would be some great miracle worker, so all of Jesus’ alleged miracles were of no interest to the first century Jewish leaders and they are no interest to me.”

http://www.jewishvoice.org/who-is-yeshua/jewish-objections-to-jesus/historical-objections.html

“If Jesus is really the Messiah, and if he is so important, why doesn’t the Torah speak of him at all?”

“Nowhere in the Hebrew Bible are we told that we must ‘believe in the Messiah.’“

“Isaiah 7:14 does not prophesy a virgin birth! And it has nothing whatsoever to do with Jesus, since it dealt with a crisis 700 years before he was born.”

“Isaiah 9:6[5] does not speak of a divine king (or Messiah).”

http://www.jewishvoice.org/who-is-yeshua/jewish-objections-to-jesus/messianic-objections/

“The New Testament misquotes and misinterprets the Old Testament. At times it manufactures verses to suit its purposes.”

“According to Matthew 2:15, when the little boy Jesus, along with Joseph and Mary, fled to Egypt to escape from Herod, this “fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘Out of Egypt I called my son.’” But Matthew only quoted the second half of the verse in Hosea. What the prophet really said was this: “When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.” The verse has to do with Israel, not Jesus, and it is recounting a historical event, not giving a prophecy. And you claim that Matthew was inspired. Hardly!”

“Matthew 2:23 says that when Jesus moved to the town of Nazareth, this “fulfilled what was said through the prophets: ‘He will be called a Nazarene.’” There’s only one problem. The prophets never said this! Matthew actually made it up.”

“Matthew 27:910 is totally confused. First Matthew quotes part of a prophecy from Zechariah, then he says it comes from Jeremiah, and then he takes the whole thing totally out of context. What a mess!”

http://www.jewishvoice.org/who-is-yeshua/jewish-objections-to-jesus/new-testament-objections/

“Jews don’t believe in the Trinity. We believe in one God, not three.”

“If you claim that Jesus is God then you are guilty of making God into a man. You are an idol worshiper!”

“God doesn’t have a son.”

“According to the Law (Deuteronomy 13), Jesus was a false prophet because he taught us to follow other gods (namely, the Trinity, including the god Jesus), gods our fathers have never known or worshiped. This makes all his miracles utterly meaningless.”
