Jesus the True Story(Jewish Perspective) Jesus was a jew who was born between the years 0-4 CE. Roots of Christianity: Philo (20 BCE-40 CE) spiritual mentor of the Hellenists during the days of Herod. He came up with the concept of allegory which is when something is not meant to be done or taken literally deeper meaning. Essenes attempted to live a pious lifestyle meaning to be as religious as possible. A concept that they adapted that was going against the Tanach is Celibacy, Asceticism, Proselytizing, Immersion. Celibacy is not allowed according to Jewish law because it says in Genesis (Bereshit) that you shall fill your land with children. It says in Deuteronomy (Devarim) that you should be married to someone before being intimate therefore being married before having children this means that if you are celibate you cannot get married or have children which violate commandments in the Torah(Tanakh). Asceticism which means to deny physical pleasure is going against the words of the Tankah because in the times of the holy temple (bais Hamikdash) people were required to bring animals to the slaughter as thanks to G-d. The meat from the specific animals that were to be brought was to be eaten by a certain time. Therefore enjoying meals and food, this is one of many examples that the Tankah brings that we should have physical pleasure. Proselytizing is a prohibition in the Tankah because there is a law that people must come to the decision to convert on there own and unlike christianity, they do not just start believing in Jesus. In Judaism, it is the law that we push away people and convinces them that it is not a good idea because there are so many laws. That way if the person really wants to convert to Judaism it is because they really want to not because they feel forced. Immersion is trying to be as pure as possible. This is forbidden because there are points in a Jews life where yes they are required to become pure but it is not meant to be an obsession. If a person family past away then they are allowed to be impure and this is only one of many examples.

Jesus of Nazareth

Almost all of Jesus's followers were the Essenes and his teachings didn't make him a bad person they made him a confused person. Jesus was a religious Jew most of his life. The Romans frowned upon people who were "Messianic" figures because that meant for them that they wouldn't be in charge anymore. The Romans killed many people who were savior type people that would lead the Jews into freedom from the Romans meaning that Jesus was not the only one. The Romans gave Judas an offer that was very valuable and Judas told the Romans that at the Passover Seder (last supper) he will kiss Jesus so they will know who he is. If Judas had not done it someone else would have. Jesus was hung on a cross to die. The cross was the Roman method of killing people it is not special to Jesus and has no meaning what so ever.

Gospels

Almost all of the 4 gospels were alive after Jesus died meaning that they DO NOT have a first-hand account of what really happened. Jews, however, do have a first hand account because there are Jewish historians that recorded the events as well as the Gemara which discusses what happened. Therefore making the gospels account INCORRECT.

New Testament

The new testament is a made up book based on what people want to believe not what actually happened.

Jesus and the Trinity It is impossible for christianity to be a monotheistic religion because christians believe that god can appear in 3 ways. Therefore making it not a monotheistic religion.

Jesus as the “Messiah”

It is IMPOSSIBLE for jesus to be the son of god and the “Messiah” because if he were the son of god then he would not have died because he would have been a demi god. And the other reason that Jesus is NOT the “Messiah” is that jesus is not from the lineage of King David and the Tankah clearly states that the Messiah must be from the lineage of King David. Also, he cannot be a prophet, the son of god and the “Messiah” because it doesn’t make sense. Jesus is human and people made him bigger of a deal than he was. Not only that but he was a teacher, not a god.

christians replacing Jews as the Chosen People

This concept is absolutely NOT TRUE. It says in the Tankah (exodus) "So shall you say to the house of Jacob and tell the sons of Israel. You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bore you on eagles' wings, and I brought you to Me. And now, if you obey Me and keep My covenant, you shall be to Me a treasure out of all peoples, for Mine is the entire earth. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of princes and a holy nation." This quote from the Tankah proves that the Jews are the chosen people and will always be G-ds people. Not only that but Christians have no proof of them being the new chosen people and Jews are supposed to witness them being the chosen people.

Therefore to conclude, everything in Christianity is made up and stories were told to prove something that was never true, to begin with. People’s minds were creative and made up stories to prove what they believed was correct however what it is they believe is very incorrect and one day with the help of the G-d of the Jewish people the whole world will recognize that there is only one G-d and that is the G-d of the Jewish people and not only that but they will realize that the Jews were and always will be the chosen people. When the REAL( from King David) Messiah comes and the 3rd temple is rebuilt and Israel like always and forever will belong to the Jewish people concluding the prophecy and returning the Jews to their homeland from exile.
