- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. As we take a look at the
- 00:18
- Jewish view of Jesus Christ, there is one thing that we know for sure and that is that Judaism does not believe that Jesus Christ is the
- 00:28
- Jewish Messiah. In fact, they believe that that is just a fable created by Christianity.
- 00:33
- Now much of what we see about the Jewish Messiah is from the Talmud, and remember that the
- 00:39
- Talmud was something that was written after the time of Christ, and we mentioned in an earlier rap report that it was something that was a redacted work.
- 00:49
- So therefore, they would edit the later writings of the Talmud from the earlier. And so much of it is responsive and reactionary to the view that Jesus was the
- 01:00
- Messiah. They're reacting to Christianity. Now they believe that this person who was to be
- 01:05
- Messiah was known from before the time began, but they believe he was just a human being, a human being who is divinely appointed to carry out a special task.
- 01:16
- They do not believe that he's any supernatural or superhuman deliverer.
- 01:21
- So the one thing that they're all unanimous about when it comes to the
- 01:27
- Talmud and all the rabbis is that they are convinced that Jesus Christ could not have been the
- 01:33
- Messiah. That's one thing they all seem to agree, though there seems to be some differences of who the
- 01:39
- Messiah would be. And this is an important point that differentiates
- 01:44
- Christianity from Judaism. If you want to get more, you can get my book, What Do They Believe, at whatdotheybelieve .com.
