Religious Question (God & Jesus)?
A lot of Christians criticize the Jews for not believing in Jesus as Christ (our messiah). However, if God and Jesus are truly one, then don't in a way they do believe in Jesus. Would they not still be able to make it through the gates of heaven. It says in the bible that the only way to the Father is through Jesus, but if Jesus technically is the Father, then the Jews have nothing to worry about it would seem?

Your reasoning just doesn't agree with the Scripture. No one can come to the Father except through the Son.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
John 14:6
Those who oppose and resist Jesus Christ make it clear they are not of God:
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
John 8:42-47

The term God means authority, power and essense. Some think it means one person-not true.
God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all God. Thus, Jesus is the Son.
Jehovah and Jesus is the same:
Go to Rev 1:8-Who said I'm the first and the last? Jehovah did.
Now read Rev 22:12-16. In 16-I'm Jesus it states.

Jesus is God visiting us in the flesh..... and yes, the Jewish people (and all people) DO have something to worry about (unless they have never sinned) LOL.... We all have to worry about standing before a Holy God.....
The Jewish Bible clearly tells us that the Messiah would have TWO roles to fulfill (most completely miss this). In Judaism - there is Messiah ben Joseph and Messiah ben David. A suffering Messiah and a Reigning Messiah. There is no arguing this fact. Ancient Rabbinical writings reference this concept many times (although they reconcile it as two different people).
However, you cannot reign over people who have sin - so the first thing was to be the suffering Messiah and take away our sin. Again - most completely miss this or else they would realize that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Messiah. They only put HALF the prophecies down (Reigning Messiah) and then claim Yeshua did not fulfill them. (Ever fly on a plane with only one wing!?)
Here is the OTHER HALF of the story that you do not get from them.
According to the Jewish Tenach (Bible) Messiah would be…
• Born in Bethlehem..... The Jewish prophet said so in Micah 5:2
• Born a descendant of David..... The Jewish prophet said so in 2 Samuel 7:12-13
• Live a sinless life..... The Jewish prophet said so in Isaiah 53:9
• Do miracles like Moses..... The Jewish prophet said so in Deuteronomy 18:18
• Enter Jerusalem on a donkey..... The Jewish prophet said so in Zechariah 9:9
• Arrive after King David died..... The Jewish prophet said so in 2 Samuel 7:12-13
• A rejected man..... The Jewish prophet said so in Isaiah 53:3
• Die as a substitute for others..... The Jewish prophet said so in Isaiah 53:5
• Rise from the dead...... The Jewish prophet said so in Isaiah 53:10
And even MORE important..............
• Messiah was to arrive BEFORE The Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E..... See -> Daniel 9:26
• Messiah was to have an impact on all nations..... The Jewish prophet said so in Isaiah 49:6
If this is not Jesus -- who else could it be?
And this is just the start…..!!
The list goes on and on,
There is not a shadow of doubt - Yeshua (Jesus in Hebrew) was/is the Messiah of Israel.
You see - True faith (the only one) that God accepts is to have repentance in ones heart for their sins.....
1 Samuel 16: 7 “The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
AND to accept the atonement (forgiveness) that He provided only through the Messiah - Yeshua (Jesus) (see Isaiah chapter 53).....
Leviticus 17:11 tells us that it is blood that makes atonement. If this were not so - why would God even have had almost a whole book of the Torah (Leviticus) which deals with blood sacrifices and how they make atonement.
This is what I have done. Over 26 years ago I accepted the Messiah as my atonement and it was the BEST decision of my life. Not that every day is all roses (it’s not). But I have a peace that surpasses all the problems of this world. And when I die (as we all will), I know that I am ready for the next world (Olam Ha-Ba) because of what the Messiah has done for me. He has taken away all my guilt and given me forgiveness. Atonement. That’s what the Messiah came to do. (read Isaiah chapter 53).

Judaism shud not have to conform to ur beliefs. they believe they will go to heaven and they believe jesus was a false messiah as they do not believe in the trinity. They denied jesus becuzz to them saying u are a true SON of god is blasphemous. U do not know if heaven exists and Judaism has existed much longer and its prophets were the ones who met god and their stories fiction or non-fiction were written in the torah not the bible. Christianity just nit picked the torah for the old testament and made the story of jesus the new testament. No religion has a right to say whose religion is right or wrong as they are all the same which is an institution of faith.

in the starting up, manage your questions next time, that change into complicated as hell. Adam and eve got here after God created the heavens and the earth and the land and the animals. we are in A.D time. B.C is earlier christ. So human beings were the following someplace lengthy earlier 2009 years in the past. next, dinosaurs were created by God and went extinct over the years. they are not tens of millions of billions of years previous, most of the relationship procedures do no longer paintings. there have been fossils discovered, which contain a foot print of a dinosaur with a foot print of a guy on precise. those were discovered, yet no man or woman looks to care. for your very last one, do not hearken to those who call for evidence. positioned a foundation on your man or woman faith, construct your relationship with christ. if you're in contact contained in the christian technology, i'd advise that. that's totally thrilling and eye starting.

The NT writers stole the god of the Jews and then wrote that he had a son named Jesus, which never happened. Never mind what the bible says, you need to be concerned about what real books have to say. And no, the Jews do not believe in Jesus as they knew when that NT story was being written who was writing it and why.

Look at this..
I have said, ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. (Psalms 82:6)
So Every Human is Son of God then..Why Only Jesus..
Why christians Took it literally..?
--------------------------------------…
In numerous instances the expression son of God is applied to prophets, to the righteous and to believers. The following are only some examples out of many:
Israel is My son, even My first born. (Exodus 4:22)
Also I will make him (David) Myfirst born, higher than the kings of the earth. (Psalms 89:27)
--------------------------------------…
Look at this Peacemakers are the children of God...
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. (Matt. 5:9)
--------------------------------------…
and Look at this i found another God of Christians Within Bible :
Mathew Chapter 11 Verse 11
"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist"
You can see that Jesus said that among them Who are born from Women, No One is Greater Than John, So Jesus Was born Out of Women, He is Not greater than John..if Jesus is God, then John is Greater God than him...
Man Cannot be God :
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (Romans, 1:21-23)

Christians are guaranteed entry no problem,

Me? I am just glad to be going to hell and spend eternity with the civilised.

The Jewish God is the Father. You have to have faith in the Son, the death of Jesus of the cross. You have to realize that you are a sinner and need a savior. The death of Jesus of the cross is very important. The Jews reject the idea that Jesus of N. is the savior of the world, or that God needs to become a mortal in order to kill himself so he could forgive others for the laws which he himself created.

the jewish religous leaders of Christs day like many today pursue a rightousness based on ''works'' or adhereing to the ten comandments, the only problem with works rightousness is it demands 100% obedience, nobody can keep Gods law, the law demands obedience, and doesnt lift a finger to help, the rightousness God provides to sinners, based on faith in Christ alone imparts his rightousness to us, and our sin is charged to his account, the sin of pride forces man to try to earn by works, what can only be recieved as a gift. goto GTM.ORG to learn about the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST the savior of the world
