What does being Jewish mean in 2014?
The short answer: Judaism does not consider Jesus to be a prophet, the messiah, or the son of God. But the exact way Jews have spoken about Jesus has, throughout history, had a lot to do with the social and political contexts where they were living. Jews have often been subjects of Christian monarchies and governments, and the tenor of that.. Answer: Of course a Jew can believe in Jesus. Just like a vegetarian can enjoy a rump steak, a peace activist can join a violent demonstration, and a dictator who preaches martyrdom can surrender himself to his enemies. As long as logic and clear thinking are suspended, anything makes sense!

Why don’t Jews believe in Jesus? In the time of Jesus all his followers were Jewish. Even after his death, the early church was primarily Jewish. This indicates that there were Jews who became Christian. For other Jews this was a difficult transition, feeling Jesus was casting off their Jewish way of life. They misunderstood his work.. The Catholic belief is that prayer must be directed through an intermediary—i.e. confessing one’s sins to a priest. Jesus himself is an intermediary, as Jesus said: “No man cometh unto the Father but by me.” In Judaism, prayer is a totally private matter, between each individual and God.
