How can a Jew reject Jesus as the Messiah?

And you! Oh well, at least you, me and the others can be in Hell together?
Well, Jesus was Jewish, and in Judaism there are different sections to hell for different types of sinners. if we went to hell right now, I'd be in Jewish hell and you'd be in Noahide hell. Thus sayeth the loooooorrrddd.

I can always count on you to make my day brighter with giggling :relaxed:

Well, it's better than being in Hell with Jesus.

I'm not so lucky. There's a midrash in the the Talmud in which Onkelos goes to hell before his conversion, to talk to three big sinners: Bil'am, Titus and "that man", which of course is a reference to Jesus. So, as you can tell, I'll be stuck with Jesus in hell (and that's a rhyme, too).

There's a midrash in the Maharal's Netzach Yisrael - which I've just realized I don't know where the Maharal took the midrash from, so that's something to research - in which Onkelos goes to hell before his conversion, to talk to three big sinners: Bil'am, Titus and "that man", which of course is a reference to Jesus. So, as you can tell, I'll be stuck with Jesus in hell (and that's a rhyme, too).
My condolences :pensive: And as it's hell you'll likely be drinking Earl Grey as well.

So just don't sin, bro!!!

That's interesting tho.

Never mind, it is from the Talmud, but the Maharal had a slightly variant version of the story.

Even without hearing of Jesus the creation declares the glory of God and we all know that we have a desire to seek God but some people suppress it. That is what it means by we are all born in rebellion against God.
Now we're going in the right direction, imo.

So, you say the above, which I do appreciate, but then it begs some other questions, such as what exactly is it that drives us to "have a desire to seek God"? But also note that you didn't say "Jesus" with this. I have a proposal dealing with this, but I'd rather wait and get your response first to the above.

I don't know about people being born with knowledge of who Jesus is, but the Bible says in Jeremiah 29:13

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Rational thin king.

Theist human. Science never existed.
Origin human self.
Origin human self thought.

Thought past tense.

Thought about God

God history past tense.

O energy he says is gods history.
O our God earth as energy mass was held as stone.

Ooooo other gods in same space womb not our entity.

Stone.

What past tense said.

Stone energy form held complete as God.

How did science get power of God.

Where is the scientist in past tense just God.

Owns no presence. No condition. Cannot do science. Human inferred.

Basic teaching God O energy in space.

Straight away that God O planet form created from volcanic mass it's heavens.

No string theory anywhere except back to O mass stone and God as a thinker.

What you lie about today what a sun did to earth. A reaction involving radiating mass. The sun never left its form sun.

A sun is not stone.
A sun past tense is its held form ownership sun.

Theist discussed reactive condition only not any sun.

Yet the sun owned cause.

Another status of your coercive lying.

Thinking therefore is not a dream string theory.

NDE you studying closest to death moment for all humans.

Tried to give us light constant held by vacuum to life on ground.

Theoried instant death closest moment as study in science.

The human destroyer self science prophecised by maths science calculations.

Moses God review knew human scientist in sun satanism had removed life. Heavens is just a mass. Is not owned as separation is owned as mass or mess as God O heavens.

No man is God teaching.

Jesus not the mass heavens

Reasoning logical. Argument law separation already existed. Every state natural is separately owned.

Natural law

I believe that everyone is born with knowledge that there is a redeemer but some people suppress it.
We need.
We needed.
We had
Once we owned.

Highest previous form a living eternal being in eternal as spirit.

Change.

Lesson never change natural in research.

Humans inherited the lesson. We knew.

Brother said I don't want.
I do want. A contradiction.
I do not want to learn.
I must learn.

Learning destruction anti effect.

Reason lesson gained lesson learnt.

A higher state became a lower state which you inherit.

Learnt but not learnt ignored. The actual contradiction. He learnt destruction not creation. Theme natural first. Origin first.

Invented science. Wanted to return to higher spirit form.

Observation self. Wanted a higher status not owned by lower being human.

Wanted to return.

Applied destruction sacrificed self lesson redeemed.

What he knew in first instance. Cannot return to higher state after change.

Higher state changed you inherit lower status.

Learnt lesson.

Percentage man.

Redeemed.

Redeemer yet to change the rest of men self destructive liars.

Karma the lesson taught to cause human to think about origin meaning a lesson and a spirit teaching.

And this is where I'm coming from even though it's just a hypothesis that I have since I can't prove it. :(

I think we underestimate what we Christians call the "Holy Spirit", and what Jews call "God's Spirit", and what Hindu's call "Brahman", etc. IOW, I tend to think there's something inside us that points us towards Love and Truth, but we do have to tap into it to reflect this within ourselves as being a lifestyle, thus not just a series of beliefs. The Society of Jesus ["Quakers"] call it the "Inner Light", although "Soul" may be another term for it.

To me, this makes sense since it possibly solves the problem dealing with God's relationship with all peoples throughout all the ages, thus not just some.

The Tanakh mentions the Holy Spirit. The Shema and the Shahada

Third, the Shema says that Yahweh is one: “Hear O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one [Heb. echad].” Unlike the Hebrew word yachid, which corresponds to the Islamic notion of an abstract numerical oneness, tawhid from the Arabic, the Bible uses the word echad for God,3 a word that allows for and which often means unity, such as exists between a husband and wife, constituting them “one flesh”, or between morning and evening, constituting them “one day”, or such as Christians profess when they say that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are “one being”, “one essence”, or “one God”.

This reminds me of Pugio Fidei.

The Tanakh mentions there being echad not yachid, in Genesis 1:26.

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

How is this possible?
I DONT KNOW,

I honestly would like to know the opinion of an informed and open minded Jew………..the only argument against the resurrection that I have heard is that “miracles don’t happen” (which would work for an atheist) but a Jew should be open to miracles.
