To address what some have stated above as their reasons for not accepting Jesus as the Messiah:
"Divine birth/divinity (the Jewish Messiah will NOT be divine. He will be human.) G-d cannot become human"
-- The Bible does not actually teach that God became human. It teaches that God transferred the life of his first creation, his only-begotten Son, into the womb of a virgin, so that he could be born as a human, an equal to Adam. (Luke 1:26-56; John 1:14; 1 Cor. 15:22, 45, 47)
"Performing Miracles – the Jewish Messiah will NOT perform miracles but will accomplish them"
-- Where is this belief noted in scripture?
"Taking on the sins of others: no one can take on the sins of others"
-- For what reason, then, was the Messiah promised? Was it not to take away the sin of the world? Was it not to be the fulfillment of the Mosaic Law covenant, the sacrifice that would do away with the need for the blood of animals to temporarily atone for sin?
"Breaking the Sabbath – the Jewish Messiah will be observant."
-- Of course Jesus observed the Sabbath until he became anointed with God's spirit and began his ministry. However, as God's Son, and the Messiah, he was "lord of the Sabbath." He performed much of the work God had commissioned him to do on the Sabbath, including many miracles that were a foregleam of what God's Kingdom would accomplish in the 1,000 year Millennial Rule of Christ, a time of rest such as has not yet been seen. (Matt. 12:8; Col. 2:16, 17; Rev. 19:16; 20:6)
"Sacrificed/Rising from the dead: G-d rejects human sacrifice and blood sacrifice is NOT an absolute requirement for the absolution of sin"
-- Deut. 12:30, 31, Jer. 19:4-6, Ps. 106:37, 38, & Ezek. 16:20 were references to the horrible practice other nations had of sacrificing their children to false gods. Of course God did not want that to happen. There is a difference, though, between humans sacrificing their own children and God sending his first creation to be born and die as a human for that specific purpose.
- Lev. 5:11-13 explains the provision God lovingly made for those who could not afford to make animal sacrifices, to instead sacrifice some of their flour. Lev. 17:11 brings out that the atoning value of an a sacrificial animal was in its blood, but this provision showed God's consideration of the limitations of some of his followers. The sins of the entire nation, including those who had to make use of that provision, were covered by the blood of the animals presented to God on the annual Day of Atonement. (Lev. 16:29, 30) (shrunk this portion of answer in order to make answer fit length required by Yahoo... if anyone has questions, though, my email is open)
"Prophecies Unfilled – the Jewish Messiah will accomplish ALL the prophecies in one lifetime."
- Again, no scriptural references. Many, many prophecies in the Bible have dual/greater fulfillments, and this was the case with many of the prophecies pertaining to Christ.
"The Jewish Messiah cannot trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17, Jeremiah 22:18, 30). But according to Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel"
- The decree at Jer. 22:30 barred any descendant of Jehoiachin from sitting upon the throne of David in Judah. The Messiah was to rule from the heavens, not from Judah. None of Jehoiachin's descendants ever ruled from earthly Jerusalem.
"Communion – the ‘last supper’ – No Jew would ever call upon followers and fellow Jews to even symbolically consume blood and flesh."
- That is why "Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said: 'This speech is shocking; who can listen to it?'” (John 6:60) Those who became disheartened so easily were not blessed with a full understanding, they never came to appreciate the rich symbolism of Jesus' words.
"Jesus is worshiped – the eternal covenant between G-d and Jews is that Jews will worship G-d and only G-d and G-d does not become a man."
- Again, God did not become a man. That is a false teaching of Christendom. Jesus directed all worship to go to his Father, which much of Christendom ignores. (Luke 4:8; John 4:23, 24) Hebrews 1:6 speaks of angels 'worshiping' Jesus, but the word used is proskyneo. That word means to render homage, an act of reverance. Those acts were performed by Jacob toward Esau (Gen. 33:3), Joseph's brothers before Joseph (Gen. 42:6), but those were not acts of worship, simply acts of profound respect, which of course is due the Messiah.
