I mean, after 2,000 years, in their view, no prophets, no messiah, no temple… I can’t imagine how they just can’t see! Aren’t they just a little bit concerned that maybe just maybe Jesus was the one and they made a gigantic mistake ignoring him? It must at least bugs a little bit some Jews…

I’m going to paraphrase (hopefully as accurately as possible) another long-time poster on this matter, @Kaninchen “Jews don’t see Christianity as Judaism plus Jesus.”
 
Ok. But I am asking in a more generic sense why they reject Jesus not the Church.
 
And one thing you omitted: after 2000 years, no Second Coming of Jesus.

(Most) Jews do believe…in One G-d, Whom they define as a special unity (more rigorously so than the usual definition), an incorporeal spirit, a Supreme Being separate from nature, time and space, eternal, with no beginning or end, and is personally concerned and involved in His creation, Who is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and omnibenevolent. That in itself is saying a lot, I think.

Well, so for you Jesus was just an impostor who happened to create the largest religion in the history of mankind? Resurrection was fake? All the saints miracles fake? And the 2,000 years dryness of revelation of the Jews is the truth? It is always time to accept Jesus…

Understood. I’m not Jewish so I can’t really go into much detail on this, but before I go back to lurking here are two common reasons given are:
  1. There are certain expectations of who the Messiah would be and what he would do, and Jesus does not fulfill those expectations.
  2. Some Christian have claimed numerous messianic prophecies have been fulfilled by Jesus, but they don’t stand up under scrutiny.
 
Yes, for their conversion, to remove the veil from their hearts and cure their blindness so they also can see Christ who died for them too!
 
Islam is a fairly large religion as well, and growing as we speak. Since when is “truth” ascertained by numbers? More people prefer popular music to classical music, I would wager, yet is popular music therefore better music than classical music or just different? So many people, even today, are illiterate or semi-literate: does that make illiteracy a good or better thing than literacy? I refuse to accept that ANY one religion has all the answers to the mysteries of G-d and what He expects of us, including my own. Nonetheless, I am also willing to give people credit for whatever religion they believe in, including those who believe in no religion or no G-d or gods. How about you? Are you willing to accept others as having minds of their own capable of making their own decisions about religion and their understanding of G-d?
 
Is it safe by the sites rules for you to pm me the Church fathers that talk about this? I might write the fact down in a sticky note and put it in my bible or something🙂
 
Of course I am not willing to do that. The Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church has the fullness of God’s revelation, since it was funded by Himself through the person of Jesus Christ.

Remember that for some jews if they leave judaism and accept Jesus as Messiah they might face being pretty much dead to the family? Correct me if I’m wrong someone. Please. 🙂
 
But I just want to ask you: don’t you have the slightest doubt the maybe your people has got it wrong and Jesus is, in fact, the messiah?
 
As I stated before, I do not think ANY religion has all the answers, including my own. But about the absolute unity of G-d, I have no doubt.
 
From what I understand, the idea of God becoming man is contradictory to their idea of God. For Jews, the Messiah is expected to be a political leader more than God in the flesh. Also, some of them think Christianity is basically a wiping out of their heritage.

I’m no expert of course. There are a lot of videos on YouTube about it though. I would recommend watching some posted by Jewish people.
 
This is just an antisemitic absurd point that will make the topic be closed and deviate from the real question. We must love the Jews and pray for their conversion!
 
If you truly wish to love the Jews, you would do well to leave them alone and let G-d take charge.
 
Jesus commanded that we baptize all nations. We are just obeying God by praying and acting for their conversion. It would be incredible uncharitable to exclude Jews from God’s communion.

We might as well ask why the Pharisees rejected Him. He wasn’t who they were expecting.
 
The covenant between God and the Jews is very significant to the Jewish
people. They still feel the covenant is valid and they need to honor it is how
I see it.

Also, just like a Catholic leaving the Catholic faith to be protestant will cause
conflict in a Catholic family, a Jewish person converting to Christianity causes
much conflict. One has to be ready to face the rejection by family and friends
that might result.
