A response for Nuray "Jews and Jesus"

Nuray,

The reason that Jews don't accept jesus as the Messiah is because he (Jesus) didn't fulfill any of the biblical prophecies concerning the Messiah. Jesus was a Jewish MAN who taught about the One true God and tried to bring his fellow Jews back to the worship of God . Jesus was a good man, but just a man. Remember, the gospels were written (by several authors) many years after Jesus had died...who knows what Jesus actually said? Also, John is the only gospel where Jesus is referred to as God.

I find it interesting that when Jesus himself was asked as to what was the greatest commandment, he replied: "Shema Y'srael Adoni alohanu Adoni echad " , which means: Hear o Israel The Lord is Our God The Lord is One.
