why do jews reject jesus?

[LoAmmi]

The primary reason is because Jesus of Nazareth did NOT meet their presumptions and assumptions about their Messiah, whom they expected to come in power and great glory and restore Israel as prophesied in Scripture (which He will at His Second Coming). They forgot all about passages such as Isaiah 53 and Psalm 22, and even now refuse to believe that those applied to their true Messiah.

Nobody forgot them. In fact, you can find very early Christian writings where Christians speak of these passages and the Jews of the time say that they believed they didn't apply to the Messiah. It's not some vast conspiracy. It seems that Christians interpreted these passages different from Jews because of their belief the Messiah had come.

 

[LoAmmi]

The secondary reason is because Christ exposed the hypocrisy and evil that existed among their religious leaders, who ultimately enshrined Rabbinic Judaism in opposition to Christianity.

I also would reject this notion that Rabbinic Judaism was put in place to oppose Christianity. It was a natural outgrowth of the Pharisee movement that was the movement that thrived after the fall of the Temple. It had little to do with opposing Christianity.

The answer is simple.

The NT image of Jesus(as) is not what is Prophecized.

But to those who do believe ...to them he gave power to become the sons of god ...

When the messiah comes will there be money gold silver to bye or sell?

There will come a time for each of us when the marketplace will close,
No more time to start or finish anything,
It is the time our book we have written goes to the publishers,

If one has started a good work, be sure to finish it,

Death???

Jesus ,when he came to the temple cast out those people who made the temple a market place. .calling it a den of thieves....Money is seen as idolatry in the New testament. .I believe when Jesus arrives money will cease to exist ..no need for it anymore...

But I was wondering what Judaism teaches about the reign of the messiah that when he comes will money exist in his reign ?

Not all people receives Jesus, and the same thing is true with the Jews. Many of them are blinded. But there are some who already accepted Jesus.

The issue was the money changers overcharging people, not that sales were going on. The Temple always sold animals from the time of Solomon because you needed to own the animal for it to be a sacrifice. A designated courtyard was setup for that purpose. Otherwise you were giving up nothing. Also, it allowed for the animals to be inspected prior to purchase to ensure they were without blemish.

One of the cheapest ways to dismiss someone instead of actually countering their points is to claim they are either too stupid or too blind to see "the truth". That the New Testament uses that phrase to describe those that disagree with it is an extreme weakness.

Jews are blinded how?

Have Jews accept the new covenant apart from the law? Jew being someone in Judaism and Judaism is servitude to the law

Yet the new covenant teaches salvation is free a gift. No need to purchase a sacrifice...temple worship would be free for all men...

If you aren't giving anything, you aren't sacrificing anything.

I understand that ...that is why the sacrifice will be an act of faith...a ritual of rememberance of the sacrifice already made to please Hashem...

Now, this is just my opinion here because I am still learning about this.

I believe the Old Testament is in conjunction to the New Testament. The Old Laws still exist and are not abolished just because Jesus came - He is the addition.

Were the Jews blinded then? I believe so, yes, since they could not accept Jesus. However, there are Messianic Jews that believe in Jesus.

Please forgive me if I have missed anything.

actually the new covenant is an entirely separate covenant apart from the law and old ways...it's new..for all men not just the Jews . Making one new nation of all men

Were the Jews blinded then? I believe so, yes, since they could not accept Jesus.

The new testament reveals a Vail is over thier eyes that Vail is the law ...that the law teachings hinders them from receiving the truth ..the Vail must be cast off to enter into covenant

However, there are Messianic Jews that believe in Jesus.

They believe Jesus is the promise messiah but still hold to Judaism and the keeping of the law ...

Here's a short video that might give some insight as to why Jews don't accept Jesus as Messiah,

Twice in ch. 9 Daniel uses messiah (מָשִׁיח&#1463, verses 25 and 26. Which is what I had in mind.

For example,

"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." (verse 25)...

Notice Messiah H4899 in Daniel is Strong's Number H4899, which matches the Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ (mashiyach). It occurs 39 times in 38 verses in the the KJV. Only in Daniel is that hebrew word translated Messiah, the other 37 times it's translated anointed. anointed (37x), Messiah (2x).

So you have to keep performing these sacrifices of faith?

 

[dfw69]

When this is set up....yes ....for a thousand years ..an act of faith and allegiance to the messiah who reigns from Jerusalem who will give new bodies to those who remain faithful to the end of the 1000 years ..

Yes, it's one of those things that make me scratch my head. The fact that Cyrus, King of the Persians is called messiah is also interesting.
