Every Human is his/her own Messiah.
I am confused.
Christianity claims that Christ was the Son of God and that this is the only true path to follow.
Judaism does not recognise Jesus as being the Son yet the Jews are the chosen people.
Both religions share the same God - therefore one religion must be wrong, right?
This is like some kind of religious paradox.
Only two of them with evidence, though.If you ask a simple question such as "do you believe in the God of Abraham" to a jew, christian, and muslim they would all say "yes"
Have a little faith.I tried that. It doesn't work.
With evidence?
So Jews have no evidence for their belief?Oh dont even ask.

no religion does.
no deity has
no deity ever will.

Oh my god - there are people who are Yankees fans, and there are people who are Red Sox fans! How can each baseball team possibly have fans??? The implications of this mind-bending paradox are astounding! My head is going to explode!
No paradox - Yankee fans are not real people.Oh my god - there are people who are Yankees fans, and there are people who are Red Sox fans! How can each baseball team possibly have fans??? The implications of this mind-bending paradox are astounding! My head is going to explode!
Some antichrists might say so.Some Christians are known to accept that Judism works too.
Jews- Pharisees, priests and many others, accepted it as proving that Jesus was the Messiah. One has to prove them wrong, which contemporary Jews could not.
The Perushim (Pharisees) would not have accepted Jesus' claim to be the messiah, as his teachings contravened Pharisaic understanding of Torah. It is unlikely that the priests would have accepted Jesus' claim, both because the priests at that time were Tzedokim (Saduccees), whose understanding of messiahdom was even more limited and political than the Perushi definition of messiahdom.
Jews in Judea all knew about Jesus. Jews in cosmopolitan Galilee knew all about Jesus. Jews from furthest Persia to Africa to Spain, everywhere there were synagogues that held Jews who travelled to Jerusalem for festivals, heard of Jesus. The Roman Empire heard of Jesus, and banned the following of 'the Galilaean'. Every mother's son and his sister in the known world heard of Jesus. There are hundreds of contemporary phoney stories about Jesus or his followers, extant; and the total number must have been many more. A more implausible comment is hardly possible than that Jews had never heard of Jesus.The majority of Jews did not accept Jesus' claim to be the messiah, simply beacuse the majority of Jews had likely never heard of Jesus
Maybe not. Who can say?Also, no Jew ever need prove wrong Jesus' claims.

The New Testament record, that was uncontested at the time of writing, is that Pharisees and priests joined the church.

What anyone needs to do, if they wish to demonstrate that Christianity is not the authentic inheritance of Abraham, is show that the Christian interpretation of the OT is impermissible. That has never been done.

The Jews can say, since they know the prophecies. God gave them to them, after all.Maybe not. Who can say?
