Son of God?
Son of God never tried to convince all his own tribesmen Jews, because he wanted them to go to hell? So logically he even was not sincere to his own tribesmen otherwise he would have told them loud and clear that he is the son of God and never let them get his blood on their hands?

Who do you think comprised the multitudes that followed Him on Earth? As for the majority of the Jews: "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." (John 1:11) It wasn't His fault that the Jews didn't believe that He was who He said He was. In Matthew 16:16-17, Peter affirms that Jesus is the Son of God, and Christ calls him blessed for it. Not sure why you feel that Jesus did not try to convince the Jews of His identity.

He did perform many, many miracles that a normal person could not possibly do. If his fellow tribesmen didn't believe what they saw with their own eyes (blind regaining sight, Lazarus coming back from the dead), then why do you think they would believe Him if He announced to them that He was the Son of God?
John 21:25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

read John 10:24-33. They ask him straight out if he is the Christ. Then Jesus answers them in John 10:30. Right after that they call him a blashphemer and try and stone him.
The Jews were the first to know of Jesus, to witness his miracles and to hear his teachings. But Jesus, being God, would never interfere with the free will of people. God gave people free will and He will never try and coerce someone into believing in Him, even if it means they'll go to hell, because then the decision to choose God would be null and void. Therefore, we'd all be puppets. God allows mankind to maintain his dignity of choice and free will always, but the truth has never been withheld from us.

Where did you get yor information? He tried, but His own tribesmen wouldn't listen. Read Luke 4:14-30 (entitled "Jesus Rejected at Nazareth").

Jesus did make bold claims to be the Son of God. But these claims were the very thing that He was killed for. They did not believe that Jesus was deity, and any man claiming to be God (or Son of God) deserved to be killed. Read through one of the Gospels, maybe try Matthew, which emphasizes Jesus' deity. Keep your eyes open for Jesus' interactions with the Pharisees (Jewish leaders) and other Jews. See what you think after that.

Jesus isnt the son of god, i doubt jesus ever even exsisted to be truthful. The torah clearly states what the messiah would be, and jesus was none of those things, he never ended war or human suffering , he wasnt a prophet, and the messiah was supposed to be the son of 2 mortals and according to the christian bible, he wasnt.

It was pre-ordained & prophesied. He did not want it to happen, yet knew He was powerless & had to take His place in the story. Christianity is all about FAITH. If you do not know that, you are not a Christian. Even Jesus had FAITH that His Father was doing the right thing.

He did tell them he was the King, but not of this world, and they said Jesus was blaspheming, when he was the true Son of God.
