The kind of leader many Jews expected the Messiah to be?
The Jewish people expected another form of a Messiah, one who would be a political savior and free them of bondage and slavery from themighty Roman empire, but they never expected the Messiah would save them from their sins and give them salvation.
What were the conditions in Judea which led to the birth of Christianity?
Oppression by the Romans encouraged many Jews to look for a Messiah.
How many books in New Testaments that the Jews read?
The Jews do not read the new testament they read the old testament only, as theydo not consider Jesus as the Messiah.
Since Jesus was a Jew why do the Jewish people deny him?
The criteria extended past just been a Jew. Jesus did not seem to them to be fulfilling the requirements for the Messiah. He challenged many of their beliefs and practices. Many Jews do accept Christ. Also many Jews today have rejected God as well.
Did the Jews expect the messiah to be the son of god?
Messiah means one anointed in holy oils. There have been many messiahs. All of the prophets were messiahs, some kings, and even some non-Jews. When people say 'The Messiah' they mean a future messiah who will be a decedent of King David who will fulfill all the requirements of the messiah. Since the Jewish Messiah has not yet been born, no, the future messiah is not the father of the Jews. Christians see the Messiah as Jesus and they also view Jesus as the son of God and God himself. Jews do not agree. Jews do not think the Messiah will be God or his son and Jews believe that the messiah has not come yet.
How did Christian beliefs result in a resettlement of Jews?
Many Christians believe that the Jews must be "gathered together" before the Messiah comes.Answer:Christian anti-Semitism often caused Jews to move, as they sought safer places to live or were forcibly expelled from Christian countries such as Spain, Portugal, France and England.
How did people enter heaven in the Old Testament time?
Salvation was attained by believing in the promised Messiah to come. Jonab: that apply only to the Jews. Out side of the Jewish community I don't think many people knew about the coming Messiah.
Who was a deliverer sent by god for whom many Jews waited?
They await the arrival of the Messiah. Christians and Muslims believe that individual to have been Jesus. Jews consider Jesus one of many Messianic Imposters (among others like Bar Kochba, Shabbetai Tzvi, Menachem Mendel Schneerson, etc.).Christian PerspectiveJesus and the Jews still don't believe they came. They think he hasn't come yet and they are still waiting, sadly they are wrong
Why didn't the Jews recognize Jesus?
Many DID recognize and accept Him, but the majority were expecting a Messiah who would literally fulfil the prophecies. Jesus didn't sit on the throne of David or carry a sword, etc. The Messiah was also supposed to come from an unknown place (figuratively understood to be heaven), but it was said: "How could anything good come from Nazareth?"
Who did the judaism think was the messiah?
In Judaism, the messiah hasn't came yet, so many people don't think it's anyone yet. Jews are still waiting for the arrival of the messiah. Long story short, no one yet. Although they also didn't want to believe that Jesus Is the messiah even though the proof was right there in the books of the Prophets who prophesied Jesus' coming.
What is the difference between the Jewish Messiah and the Christian Messiah?
Jewish concept: The word 'messiah' is the anglicisation of the Hebrew 'moshiach'. The literal meaning of 'moshiach' is 'anointed' and is a title given to any person who was properly anointed with oil as part of their initiation to serving HaShem (The Creator), examples of moshiachim (pl) are kings, priests, and prophets. There is absolutely nothing supernatural about a moshiach. Christian concept: The Christian concept of messiah is that of a saviour who will save all of humanity's souls from sin. Christianity teaches that the messiah is "the Word made Flesh".
Who is the waiting messiah and Can messiah be a woman?
The idea of 'maschiach' (which means 'anointed') originated in Judaism. The Jewish Maschiach will be a normal, human man; he must fulfill the 23 Jewish messianic prophecies before he dies. Christianity took the concept, changed it, and declared that Jesus was the 'messiah'. As he does not fulfill any of the Jewish criteria for 'maschiach', though, he is not the Jewish messiah. The Jewish messiah is likely to be a man, but there are some Jews who argue that it could be a woman. There is a belief that in every generation, a potential messiah is born. But Jews do not actively 'wait' for their messiah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
