Does Judaism acknowlege Jesus as Chirst, the Messiah, the only
son of God who was born human though sinless thoughout his entire
life and who came from heaven, died but rose from among the dead
and now is in heaven and took up a glorified form such that no
mere[ordinary] man could ever look upon His face?
If your answer is yes then Judaism is Christianity and
Christianity is Judaism.
Jesus the only son of God? Let me highlight these
2 verses for u.
"Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD, "Israel is
My son, My firstborn.
"So I said to you, 'Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you
have refused to let him go Behold, I will kill your son, your
firstborn."'" Exodus 4:22-23 (NASB)
Hashem has personally declared that his firstborn son is Isreal.
Has the NT contradicted Hashem words from the Torah?.
Also, the Messiah from Judaism must be the 'son of David'. He
must be the physical descendent from King David, and also a
descendent from King Solomon. Moreover Elijah must come
first, before the coming of the Messiah.
To quote from the NT that Jesus was not a direct descendent of
King David, or "Son of David".
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when His mother
Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she
was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit. And Joseph her
husband, being a righteous man and not wanting to disgrace her,
planned to send her away secretly. Metthew 1:18-19 (NASB)
The concept of trinity is also incompatible with
Judaism.
"The LORD spoke to you face to face at the mountain from the
midst of the fire, while I was standing between the LORD and you at
that time, to declare to you the word of the LORD; for you were
afraid because of the fire and did not go up the mountain. He said,
'I am the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt,
out of the house of slavery.
'You shall have no other gods before Me.'
Deuteronomy 5:4-7 (NASB)
Judaism is not Christianity, However Judaism would acknowledge
Jesus as a Jewish rabbi that lived during the 1st century.
