Jesus and Judaism, is Jesus the Jewish Messiah?

For the past 2000-years Christians and Jews have discussed and debated, who is the Messiah of Israel? Now a new website by Truthet.org attempts to clear up the issues between Jews and Christians regarding the Jewish Messiah.

(PRWEB) April 23, 2006 -- Who is the Messiah of Judaism and why did the Jewish nation reject Jesus? This discussion and debate has been raging for almost 2000-years. Jews and Christians each have difficulty understanding the others position and perspective.

What do the Jewish rabbis expect from the Messiah, and did Jesus meet these requirements? Most Christians are not aware of what the rabbis taught then and today regarding the Messiah. How do Jews respond to the Christian claims regarding Jesus and his being the Jewish Messiah.

Now for the first time, a comprehensive website attempts to bring both sides together to discuss, just who is the Messiah and why Jews reject Jesus.

Truthnet.org also offers the Christian response to the Jewish objections regarding the whether Jesus was the Messiah. Truthnet draws on the writings of the Misnah, Talmud and Midrash regarding the identity of the Jewish Messiah.

Among the questions answered are:

Did the Jews expect the Messiah to suffer and die?
Can the Messiah possibly be the Son of God?
What happens in the battle of Gog and Magog and how does it relate to the Messiah?
Does the Christian application of Isaiah 53 try to fit Jesus into a Jewish text?
Does Daniel chapter 9 refer to Jesus 539 years before his birth?
