Why Don’t Jews See Jesus in The Scriptures?

Why Don’t Jews See Jesus in The Scriptures?

Many Christians have a very difficult time understanding how it is possible for Jewish people to study their Bible and fail to see it pointing to Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. Is it possible, as the Greek Testament claims, that Satan has blinded the Jews who now have a veil covering their eyes? (II Corinthians 3:14-15, 4:3-4; Romans 11:7, 25) Or is it possible that Christians have been seeing a mirage? There are many passages where the Bible clearly speaks about the Messiah who would one day com

Leviticus 17:11

Leviticus 17:11

One of the cornerstones of Christian theology is that the only way to achieve atonement for sins is through the offering of a sacrifice whose blood is shed in our place. The Greek Testament makes this very clear in Hebrews 9:22 "...without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Is this idea consistent with the teachings of the Tanach, or do the Jewish and Christian bibles diverge on this issue? Christians generally insist that the absolute need for a vicarious blood sacrifice is rooted

What are the criteria that Judaism has established  about the messiah?

What are the criteria that Judaism has established about the messiah?

The Jewish tradition of "The Messiah" has its foundation in numerous biblical references, and understands "The Messiah" to be a human being - without any overtone of deity or divinity - who will bring about certain changes in the world and fulfill certain criteria before he can be acknowledged as "The Messiah". First of all, he must be Jewish - "...you may appoint a king over you, whom the L-rd your G-d shall choose: one from among your brethren shall you set as king over you." (Deuteronomy 17:

Whom does the author of the Book of Matthew blame for the death of John Baptist?

Whom does the author of the Book of Matthew blame for the death of John Baptist?

Whom does the author of the Book of Matthew blame for the death of John Baptist? Answer: The author of Matthew ultimately places the blame for the death of John the Baptist directly on the whole Jewish people. Initially, Matthew ascribes the death of John directly to Herod Antipas, "He [Herod Antipas] sent and had John beheaded in the prison" (Matthew 14:10). Later, when Jesus identifies John as actually being Elijah, Matthew chooses Jesus' words so as to indict all the Jews in the death of Jo

What is meant in Isaiah 53:8 by: "For he was cut off out of the land of the living"? Read on to find out. Answer: "For he was cut off out of the land of the living" is not to be taken as a literal description of the death of an individual.

Similar metaphorical language is used, for example, in Ezekiel 37 to express the condition preceding relief and rejuvenation following the end of

Moreover, the history of Israel, down through the ages shows that the servant is, none other than Israel personified.
