PURPOSE

Our intent with this document is to air out some conceptions and misconceptions, facts and fallacies, truths and lies about Judaism and Christianity as related to the Messianic role of Jesus (that is, about Jesus' role as God's chosen savior or liberator; "the anointed one", for such is the meaning of the word Messiah; his "Epiphany" means his manifestation or revelation to the world).


BACKGROUND

To examine and talk about the Messianic role of Jesus at this point may sound redundant, but it is not since most Jews do not practice true Judaism (as Jesus did) nor Christians practice true Christianity (as Jesus taught).


INTRODUCTION

Traditionally:


With those realities on the table, how can anyone expect a just and peaceful world at any time in history - past, present or future - without direct Divine intervention?

How can any expect a "Great King" and "Holy Pontiff" to establish justice and peace in the whole world when God, in the Person of Jesus, could not by natural means?

Anyone who does so is completely out of touch with reality - a reality confirmed by thousands of years of recorded history.

We will attempt to address this matter in a very brief form since not many words are needed to express and explain the truth.


DETAILS

Jews are thought of as being smarter, more talented and more accomplished than Christians

From birth Jews are taught (programmed) that they are the Chosen People of God; that they are truly special.

Elemental psychology has conclusively proven that positive reinforcement leads to success. When the reinforcement is that of "one that has been chosen by God", the proverbial sky is the limit for what that individual can and will achieve.

End of the Jews are smarter and more talented myth.


Jews have been the object of innumerable persecutions from almost the very beginning

The persecutors did so (and still do) out of jealousy and envy for their accomplishments and steadfastness based on the "Chosen People" belief (see above). God allowed such persecutions in an effort to catch their attention and bring them back to the fold (1) of the true God as Jesus tried to do.

End of excuses for the Why me, Lord? (2) tirades.


Jews insist on denying the Messianic role of Jesus

This is a manifestation of the basic and fundamental Denial Syndrome.

Jesus, a practicing Jew, admonished the Jewish Establishment of the time that they had drifted far from the course set by God and that they must come back or the consequences would be even worse than before.

It did not matter that Jesus fulfilled all Prophecies (3) regarding the expected Messiah. The problem was that He just did not tell the Administrators of Judaism what they wanted to hear.

We have looked into and inquired about as to why Jews will not accept Jesus as the Messiah and what we have been told by a Jewish Scholar is the following:


Just because early Christians chose to assume that a "young woman" meant a "virgin" and that Jesus was called "the son of God", do not seem enough reasons to interfere with the Messianic role of Jesus.

We see God, in the Old Testament, speaking as follows: I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son [2 Sam 7:14]. So where is the problem with God being "a father" to Jesus and Jesus being "a son" to God if they do not want to believe the truth that Jesus IS the Son of God?

But there is more. The mainstream Jews (4) (as opposed to Ebionites) claim that:

Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah because:


But there is even more!

In the same source (4) we read the definition of "Messiah" as:


Interestingly enough, their reason to deny Jesus' Messianic role confirms the Divinity of Jesus. How could He be initiated into the service of God (anointed) when He Is God Himself! Yes, He was baptized to set a living example of the requirements for a human being who would accept Him as the Messiah announced by the Baptizer himself.

However, if we need an "anointing equivalent" we have the magi who....


Let us review the meaning and significance of the gold, frankincense and myrrh (5) that the magi presented to Jesus, according to the Gospel of Matthew.


Furthermore, it is claimed that Jesus did not fulfill Messianic prophecies because:


In other words, they have the same expectations of those Catholics who are looking forward to the already mentioned "Great King" and "Holy Pontiff" - "a future age of perfection characterized by universal peace and recognition of God"

Such claims, position and expectations would be laughable if they would not have brought, and will still bring more, misery to so many misled Jews and Catholics.


Christians have demonized all Jews in the New Testament conveniently forgetting the fact that Jesus is a Jew

How can anyone expect children being brought up in the Christian Faith not to develop an ingrained hatred for Jews?

There is no way, as the New Testament is written, that Jews can come across in any other way than as "the really bad guys"; the assassins of a gentle and loving Jesus.

Elemental psychology has also conclusively proven that rejection, in the best of cases, and hatred, in the worse of cases, would be the logical result of such brainwashing.

Expecting anything else would be contrary to logic and the way the brain works.


CONCLUSION

Only those who have Ears, will Hear, and have Eyes, will See, that Jesus Is the Messiah and only when He returns He will indeed initiate the "age of perfection characterized by universal peace and recognition of God" after:


Humanity was given a chance to learn, the easy way, how to attain "... a future age of perfection characterized by universal peace and recognition of God":


God then sent Mary repeatedly for the last 200 years (6) in the hopes that we would finally respond to the teachings of Her Son. That effort was commercialized and its urgent spiritual message ignored. Now, finally mankind will learn - just as Malachi announced. Such will the pain be!
