So I followed Q's instructions and read the Bible. This is what I discovered.
The Old Testament was written by the proto-Hebrews/Jewish, and the Jewish mashiach is not Jesus.
The idea of mashiach (messiah) is an ancient one in Judaism
The Jewish idea of mashiach is a great human leader like King David, not a savior
There is much speculation about when the mashiach will come
The Bible identifies several tasks that the mashiach will accomplish
Jews do not believe in Jesus because he did not accomplish these tasks
It is written that:
Before the time of the mashiach, there shall be war and suffering (Ezekiel 38:16)
And:
The mashiach will bring about the political and spiritual redemption of the Jewish people by bringing us back to Israel and restoring Jerusalem (Isaiah 11:11-12; Jeremiah 23:8; 30:3; Hosea 3:4-5). He will establish a government in Israel that will be the center of all world government, both for Jews and gentiles (Isaiah 2:2-4; 11:10; 42:1). He will rebuild the Temple and re-establish its worship (Jeremiah 33:18). He will restore the religious court system of Israel and establish Jewish law as the law of the land (Jeremiah 33:15)
Jews do not believe that Jesus was the mashiach. Assuming that he existed, and assuming that the Christian scriptures are accurate in describing him (both matters that are debatable from the Jewish perspective), he simply did not fulfill the mission of the mashiach 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.
>Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
>Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
>Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
>Jesus did not do any of the things that the scriptures said the messiah would do.
Well this certainly is awkward.
I guess disinformation really is necessary!
