What is Judaism’s view of Jesus? | Rapp Report Daily 0078 | Striving for Eternity

Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.

This is a ministry of striving for eternity. As we take a look at the

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

Jewish Messiah. In fact, they believe that that is just a fable created by Christianity.

Now much of what we see about the Jewish Messiah is from the Talmud, and remember that the

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.

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

Messiah. They're reacting to Christianity. Now they believe that this person who was to be

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.

They do not believe that he's any supernatural or superhuman deliverer.

So the one thing that they're all unanimous about when it comes to the

Talmud and all the rabbis is that they are convinced that Jesus Christ could not have been the

Messiah. That's one thing they all seem to agree, though there seems to be some differences of who the

Messiah would be. And this is an important point that differentiates

Christianity from Judaism. If you want to get more, you can get my book, What Do They Believe, at whatdotheybelieve .com.
