If Messaiac Jews believe in Jesus, who or what do non-believing Jews believe in?

We Jews believe in G-d.

Christians identify Messiah with Jesus and define him as God incarnated as a man, and believe he died for the sins of humanity as a blood sacrifice. This means that one has to accept the idea that one person's death can atone for another person's sins. However, this is opposed to what the Bible says in Deuteronomy 24:26, "Every man shall be put to death for his own sin," which is also expressed in Exodus 32:30-35, and Ezekiel 18. The Christian idea of the messiah also assumes that God wants, and will accept, a human sacrifice. After all, it was either Jesus-the-god who died on the cross, or Jesus-the-human. Jews believe that God cannot die, and so all that Christians are left with in the death of Jesus on the cross, is a human sacrifice. However, in Deuteronomy 12:30-31, God calls human sacrifice an abomination, and something He hates: "for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods." All human beings are sons or daughters, and any sacrifice to God of any human being would be something that God would hate. The Christian idea of the messiah consists of ideas that are UnBiblical.

Many people, Christians and some Jews as well, erroneously believe that just as one can be Black and Christian, just as one can be Oriental and Christian, one can also be Jewish and Christian. It is not true. The Jews are not a race. There is no genetic code passed from either mother or father to the child that makes that child a Jew. Even if all, or some, of the genetic code in a child could be proved to be of Jewish Origin, that would not make the child a Jew. Jewish law determines who is a Jew, and Jewish law is quite clear. If a person's mother is a Jew, and that person has not converted to another faith, then that person will be considered fully Jewish, so long as that person wishes to identify solely as a Jew. Although one cannot convert to become a member of a race, for example one cannot convert to become an Asian or an African-American, one who converts to Judaism does, indeed, become fully a Jew. Similarly, if one converts from Judaism to another faith, one is no longer a Jew.

Your question is not logical. Being Jewish does not make someone the Messiah. There are a few Jews( very very few) that believe the Lubavitch Rebbe Mendel Schneerson is the Messiah and are waiting for him to come back from the dead. His followers are Jewish and continue to practice Judaism. They do not worship him as if he was God. Why do you not believe that the Rebbe is Messiah? This makes as much if not more sense than what you are asking.

No. We believe in G-d. Period.

Jesus did not fulfill the prophecies required of our Moshiach (Messiah):

(with thanks to Mark S.)

* The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26)

* Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance. (Isaiah 2:4)

* The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)

* He will be descended from King David (Isaiah 11:1) via King Solomon (1 Chron. 22:8-10)

* The Moshiach will be a man of this world, an observant Jew with "fear of God" (Isaiah 11:2)

*****In other words - this must all be accomplished in a human lifetime*****

* Evil and tyranny will not be able to stand before his leadership (Isaiah 11:4)

* Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9)

* He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10)

* All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12)

* Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8)

* There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)

* All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)

* The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)

* He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)

* Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)

* The peoples of the world will turn to the Jews for spiritual guidance (Zechariah 8:23)

* The ruined cities of Israel will be restored (Ezekiel 16:55)

* Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)

* The Temple will be rebuilt (Ezekiel 40) resuming many of the suspended mitzvot

* He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)

* Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)

* He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)

* He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9).

One more thing--"Jews for Jesus" and the like are **not** Jewish; they're just apostates.

I've seen folks here call themselves Messianic (withOUT the Jewish attached) - they follow the rituals that Jesus followed (which happen to be Jewish rituals and laws), but since they believe in Jesus, they do not call themselves Jews. That is honest. Those that call themselves Jews 4 Jesus are either misguided (at best) or dishonest and deceitful (at worst)

answer: No, they don't. Some Jews believer there is a place where those who haven't lived up to the laws are sent but its only for a short time. Jews do not believe in eternal torment. Jews don't believe that you have to be Jewish to reach the divine, that's why they don't try and convert everyone.

Wow. Just wow. Look up the word "Judaism."

Jews do not believe that Jesus was the moshiach. Assuming that he existed, and assuming that the Christian scriptures are accurate in describing him (both matters that are debatable), he simply did not fulfill the mission of the moshiach as it is described in the biblical passages cited above. Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.

Throughout Jewish history, there have been many people who have claimed to be the moshiach, or whose followers have claimed that they were the moshiach: Shimeon Bar Kokhba, Shabbatai Tzvi, Jesus, and many others too numerous to name. Leo Rosten reports some very entertaining accounts under the heading False Messiahs in his book, The Joys of Yiddish. But all of these people died without fulfilling the mission of the moshiach; therefore, none of them were the moshiach. The moshiach and the Olam Ha-Ba lie in the future, not in the past.

"non-believing Jews" are atheists. They don't believe.

"believing Jews" believe in G-d. One G-d, non-divisible, not taking any human form - the exact same G-d who has a starring role in the "Old Testament." Jesus is not there, and he did not fulfill any of the official prophecies of what the Messiah will do, therefore we do not believe in him even as Messiah, let alone as divine. All Jews are, themselves Jews. If all it took for us to believe that someone was the same as G-d was for them to be Jewish, there's be a heck of a lot of "Gods" running around. That's not faith, that's idol worship.

"Messianic Jews" are Christians.

Jews PERIOD are Jews.

Christians are Christians, doesn't matter if they have Jewish lineage.

No, we don't think we would be lieve in Jesus as a false God if we're Jewish.

Would you become a Buddhist if Jesus were Buddhist?

Would you becaome a Muslim if Jesus were Muslim?

I don't see YOU converting at the speed of light.

Jews DO NOT believe in Jesus.

These so-called "messianic Jews" believe in Jesus because they are CHRISTIANS! They are not Jews! Why don't you ask them why they refuse to admit they are Christians and instead steal the name of another religion????????????????

"Messianic Jew" = Worships Jesus

Jew = Worships God

Okay, class dismissed.

G-d

We believe in G-d and G-d only not G-d the son and the holy spirit.
