Why don't the Jewish people..?

If they did they would be Christians.........

answer: because we know our text and Jesus failed on all counts to qualify as the Jewish Messiah.

Personally, I KNOW Jesus wasn't the Messiah because of my own personal experiences. See, your claim has no merit because each pagan, Muslim, Jew and atheist can say the exact same thing about their own personal experiences. Personal FEELINGS are not facts. Facts are, Jesus did not qualify as even a candidate for the Jewish Messiah and the things that you belief about him disqualify him.

What is Judaism? The worship of G-d and G-d alone. Studying His word in the Tanakh (which contains the Torah). Keeping His commandments (613 w/the Temple, 300 w/out the Temple). Helping repair the world and caring for family, friends, community (which includes mandated charity). Awaiting the Messiah/Messianic age.

Reasons Jesus was NOT the Jewish Messiah:

Divine birth/divinity (the Jewish Messiah will NOT be divine. He will be human.) G-d cannot become human: Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 44:6, Hosea 11:9, Ezekiel 28:2, Numbers 23:19

Performing Miracles – the Jewish Messiah will NOT perform miracles but will accomplish them

Taking on the sins of others: no one can take on the sins of others: Deuteronomy 24:16, Exodus 32:30-35, Ezekiel 18:1-4, 20-24; 26-27

Breaking the Sabbath – the Jewish Messiah will be observant.

Sacrificed/Rising from the dead: G-d rejects human sacrifice and blood sacrifice is NOT an absolute requirement for the absolution of sin – Deuteronomy 12:30-31, Jeremiah 19:4-6, Psalm 106:37-38, Ezekiel 16:20, Leviticus 5:11-13, Jonah 3:10, Leviticus 17, Leviticus 5:11-13, Numbers 16:47, Numbers 31:50, Isaiah 6:6-7, Jeremiah 7:22-23, Psalm 51:16-17

Prophecies Unfilled – the Jewish Messiah will accomplish ALL the prophecies in one lifetime.

The Jewish 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 Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel

Communion – the ‘last supper’ – No Jew would ever call upon followers and fellow Jews to even symbolically consume blood and flesh.

Jesus is worshiped – the eternal covenant between G-d and Jews is that Jews will worship G-d and only G-d and G-d does not become a man. Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9, 1 Samuel 15:29, Job 9:32-33, Ezekiel 28:9, Hosea 4:15, Malachi 3:6

Jews do not accept Jesus as the messiah because:

1.Jesus did not fulfill the messianic prophecies.

2.Jesus did not embody the personal qualifications of the Messiah.

3.Biblical verses "referring" to Jesus are mistranslations.

4.Jewish belief is based on national revelation.

@takiteasy. Then I suggest that you read the info in the above link again.

Because he actually wasn't the Messiah, they're right about that. He was just a regular person

Facepalm

@jrrose.....from your site i only understood that jesus fulfilled all the prophesies....he was born out of human being Mary, bible specifies all his forefathers to david, he had all attibutes of a normal human being, nothing extra ordinary, he healed a lot of people, he built the roman catholic church, his word is spread across the whole world now, jews have a nation today, and end of wars and rule of God himself will happen on his second coming

Three cheers for Moses!

Christians have mistreated them for most of their history.

Because the Jews aren't gullible?

I'd guess it's because there's no reason for them to believe that?
