Jewish Objections

Judaism and Christianity are considered the two great religions. Christianity thinks of itself as the true logical and spiritual development of Judaism, while Jews view Christianity as a polytheistic anti-Semitic religion with no foundation in Judaism whatsoever. A highly significant difference between the two religions besides theology is the Christian adherence to the belief that Yeshua of Nazareth was the Messiah of the world.

Jews accept that Yeshua was born and raised a Jew in Israel and was a great teacher and man, as the facts of history have proven his worldly existence without a doubt. The issue arises not in proving his live, but in proving his Messiahship.

Some Biblical prophecies fulfilled by Yeshua:
The probability that one individual man fulfilled hundreds of independent, miraculous prophecies is extremely unlikely, and no logical conclusion seems possible except that Yeshua is the Messiah.
