WHY JESUS IS NOT THE JEWISH MESSIAH & Why Jews Don’t Believe in Jesus - Julius Ciss - so be it

WHY JESUS IS NOT THE JEWISH MESSIAH, presented by Julius Ciss, Executive Director of Jews for Judaism (Canada), counters the claims of evangelical Christian missionary groups that target Jews for conversion.

In response to the Evangelical Christian claim that "Jesus is the Jewish messiah" Julius explains why Judaism has rejected this assertion for 2,000 years. He shows how Jesus did not fulfill ANY of the messianic criteria cited in the Jewish Bible and therefore cannot be the Jewish Messiah as claimed by Christian missionaries!

Julius has an insider’s perspective on today’s growing missionary effort to convert Jews to Christianity because he was involved in the “Jews for Jesus”, “Messianic Jewish” or “Hebrew Christian” movement for five years, from 1975 to 1980.

As I read the Tanakh, I have never seen a verse that says "Israel, I will send you my son to be your messiah" and I definitely have never read anything in which Hashem said "Hear Israel, I will become my own son, transforming myself into flesh and blood and will make myself born into the world and will walk amongst you, so that I will be your messiah, become my own son, yet be G-d at the same time and also be a holy spirit. All of this I will do at the same time as evidence in this verse"

A lot of people scoff if you try to suggest that elements of Christianity are plagiarized from paganism. Yet many of them miss the most obvious evidence of this- that these elements are not from Judaism. That alone is grounds for suspicion.

I am glad he made this video because it has given me insight to why Jews believe what they believe. I am going to study every claim.

wow!!! this was so educational!! thank you for such a clear and detailed explanation. Raised catholic, there are many myths and lies about why Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah. Now, I really understand the true Jewish's reason. The point you made about the generation passing from father to son, and Jesus did not have a father (cause according to Christianity, Mary was pregnant by God) is such a great point!! I never thought about it. Thanks!!!!

Awesome of you to be confident enough in your faith to post this. The world needs more religious people like you.

Well, I like this mainly cause it's a challenge to keep Christians on their toes. I mean I'm not saying that Jews or Judaism is any better than Christians or Christianity, but in a lot of ways I think Jews are in a better position to challenge Christians than many others, considering that Christianity came from Judaism and it's scriptures.

Thank you sir. I am a non-believer and I enjoy hearing about other cultures. I grew up as a Baptist in America and believed in my stuff for 30 years. I love history, and history cannot ignore religion. I find beliefs fascinating. I mean no disrespect. I will share your video.

Thank you for speaking out.  I have much more respect for your position than I do for those of the Televangelist Preachers, and their followers, who only pretend to love the Jewish people, but do not.

[shannonpennefather]

Cheers for that. Not religious at all but that explained the situation in a straightforward way I could understand.

As a former Christian, I could never understand the Messiah killer hated that Christians have for Jews. Today, as a current Atheist I agree with many arguments that this Rabbi presents; I am always in awe of how Judaism doesn't proselytize, yet welcomes conversion. I only depart in opinion with the Rabbi in that Jews will be waiting for the Messiah about as long as the Christians wait for the 2nd coming: Forever.

[FreakSyndicate]

excellent short summary. Notably the Rabbi's comments on the second coming - no Messiah installment plan in the Jewish Bible. Much appreciated

[BryRod]

This is just Amazing! I will show this video to several of my christian friends who argue with me about this subject! You were very clear and on point! Thank You. Shalom!

[fleecemanjenkins]

I'm actually an agnostic atheist, but I'm still in agreement with you. You stuck with the verses, and I find the evidence pretty damning for Jesus.

[TheNerdguy]

I think it is saying why Jesus does not have the right characteristics to be the Jewish Messiah.

WONDERFUL AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO!! THANK YOU!! 
-from a Muslim who loves the Jewish people.

[yazackak]

I'm a Christian and I think this video makes some amazing points. Well researched and well done!

[carstenthegreatest]

I am a Christian, but I am very glad to see men and women of faith stand up for what they believe in. Thanks for sharing your message. God bless the Jewish people.

It's annoying how perfectly valid arguments go to waste in the ears of the Christians who disliked this and all the other Jews for Judaism videos. They don't have the attention spans nor the minds to comprehend all the knowledge these rabbis are imparting.

[ggates]

The biggest obstacle to this ordeal is that the Christian Bible has mistranslated the passages regarding the Messiah. That’s the number one problem.

Loved it when he said "the Jewish Bible does not provide for a messianic installment plan."  Epic soundbite!  Great video!
