WHY JESUS IS NOT THE JEWISH MESSIAH & Why Jews Don’t Believe in Jesus - Julius Ciss - so be it

WHY JESUS IS NOT THE JEWISH MESSIAH, presented by Julius Ciss, Executive Director of Jews for Judaism (Canada), counters the claims of evangelical Christian missionary groups that target Jews for conversion.
In response to the Evangelical Christian claim that "Jesus is the Jewish messiah" Julius explains why Judaism has rejected this assertion for 2,000 years. He shows how Jesus did not fulfill ANY of the messianic criteria cited in the Jewish Bible and therefore cannot be the Jewish Messiah as claimed by Christian missionaries!
Julius has an insider’s perspective on today’s growing missionary effort to convert Jews to Christianity because he was involved in the “Jews for Jesus”, “Messianic Jewish” or “Hebrew Christian” movement for five years, from 1975 to 1980.

A lot of people scoff if you try to suggest that elements of Christianity are plagiarized from paganism. Yet many of them miss the most obvious evidence of this- that these elements are not from Judaism. That alone is grounds for suspicion.

[@ThatWeirdPlaceInYT]

As I read the Tanakh, I have never seen a verse that says "Israel, I will send you my son to be your messiah" and I definitely have never read anything in which Hashem said "Hear Israel, I will become my own son, transforming myself into flesh and blood and will make myself born into the world and will walk amongst you, so that I will be your messiah, become my own son, yet be G-d at the same time and also be a holy spirit. All of this I will do at the same time as evidence in this verse"

[@mias7179]

I am glad he made this video because it has given me insight to why Jews believe what they believe. I am going to study every claim.

[@shannonpennefather]

Cheers for that. Not religious at all but that explained the situation in a straightforward way I could understand.

[@AndrewNewZealand]

Well, I like this mainly cause it's a challenge to keep Christians on their toes. I mean I'm not saying that Jews or Judaism is any better than Christians or Christianity, but in a lot of ways I think Jews are in a better position to challenge Christians than many others, considering that Christianity came from Judaism and it's scriptures.

[@soilofk]

wow!!! this was so educational!! thank you for such a clear and detailed explanation. Raised catholic, there are many myths and lies about why Jews do not accept Jesus as the Messiah. Now, I really understand the true Jewish's reason. The point you made about the generation passing from father to son, and Jesus did not have a father (cause according to Christianity, Mary was pregnant by God) is such a great point!! I never thought about it. Thanks!!!!

[@TheWeekendWar]

Awesome of you to be confident enough in your faith to post this. The world needs more religious people like you.

[@TheNerdguy57]

I think it is saying why Jesus does not have the right characteristics to be the Jewish Messiah.

[@doctorstarbug]

Thank you sir. I am a non-believer and I enjoy hearing about other cultures. I grew up as a Baptist in America and believed in my stuff for 30 years. I love history, and history cannot ignore religion. I find beliefs fascinating. I mean no disrespect. I will share your video.

[@SatchmoSings]

I just wish the spokesman would be identified either on camera and/or in the text. Anyway, he makes his point in a totally factual and totally non-judgemental way.

[@Twinruler334]

Thank you for speaking out. I have much more respect for your position than I do for those of the Televangelist Preachers, and their followers, who only pretend to love the Jewish people, but do not.

[@FreakSyndicate123]

excellent short summary. Notably the Rabbi's comments on the second coming - no Messiah installment plan in the Jewish Bible. Much appreciated

[@GilBarOn]

Thank you very much for doing this! It's very important since there are many cults out there today.. When people don't know better, they believe everything they read & hear.. You're doing a Great job! Lots of Love! Gil from Israel :-)

[@BryRod]

This is just Amazing! I will show this video to several of my christian friends who argue with me about this subject! You were very clear and on point! Thank You. Shalom!

[@filsdejeannoir1776]

Trinity concept was added into NT by Tertullian around 220ce...then later into first non Latin NT by Erasmus who was against such (see Comma argument) Shalom

[@sarielizard1]

WONDERFUL AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO!! THANK YOU!! -from a Muslim who loves the Jewish people.

[@sultanofsomaliland9332]

It's the law according to quran and hadith. Like mosaic law in torah

[@sultanofsomaliland9332]

mohamed mahdi no they are not. There are many pious jews abd many zionists who hijacked tge beautiful religion

[@farrahlicious]

I found this is a great way to keep them from trying to convert me. Some people are really aggressive about wanting to convert you, and this is an excellent way to show them why I *can't* believe in Jesus as a messiah or anything holy.

[@traviskale1313]

Mr Ciss, thank you for clearing this up. As a devout Christian I have always wondered about these things.

[@ggates5371]

The biggest obstacle to this ordeal is that the Christian Bible has mistranslated the passages regarding the Messiah. That’s the number one problem.

[@Joy-yq8hj]

Loved it when he said "the Jewish Bible does not provide for a messianic installment plan." Epic soundbite! Great video!

[@Linescrew1Canada]

As a former Christian, I could never understand the Messiah killer hated that Christians have for Jews. Today, as a current Atheist I agree with many arguments that this Rabbi presents; I am always in awe of how Judaism doesn't proselytize, yet welcomes conversion. I only depart in opinion with the Rabbi in that Jews will be waiting for the Messiah about as long as the Christians wait for the 2nd coming: Forever.

[@fleecemanjenkins6648]

I'm actually an agnostic atheist, but I'm still in agreement with you. You stuck with the verses, and I find the evidence pretty damning for Jesus.

[@mbs430]

hmm. wow. i never understood that before. thank you.

[@TheWeekendWar]

People like you, with an open mind, give me faith in the religious community. I wish more of my American friends thought like you did.

[@carstenthegreatest]

I am a Christian, but I am very glad to see men and women of faith stand up for what they believe in. Thanks for sharing your message. God bless the Jewish people.

[@BennyOcean]

Fascinating analysis of why Jesus was not the messiah foretold in the Jewish Bible.

[@Nathan20XX]

It's annoying how perfectly valid arguments go to waste in the ears of the Christians who disliked this and all the other Jews for Judaism videos. They don't have the attention spans nor the minds to comprehend all the knowledge these rabbis are imparting.

[@mdixon1966]

god bless the jews and Israel

[@perspectives2024]

Thank U@🌺 for Your Beautiful Message 💜🔥🔯 תודה רבה רבי 🔯🔥💜

[@arb3413]

Thank you for this, Rabbi. You explained it so eloquently. My question is, why can't they just accept the fact that according to our bible, our teachings, and our belief system, he is NOT our messiah, and why are they (christians) always pushing Jesus on us? Perhaps that question could be addressed in a separate video? Would love to hear your thoughts.

[@kenlbks]

Short and sweet and right on.

[@johnnypierce3933]

Jews FOR Judaism , PLEASE HELP me , PLEASE In in the Moodle of a Hornets nest ! I'm in Brazil AND I'm surrounded by Catholicism , they need to hear this In Portugues and Spanish both . Please have this translated , They need to hear from some else besides me . This would be a big help for you as well . NOT only Catholics but Messianic Jews here believe that yeshua is the Son of GOD AND MOST OF THEM BELIEVE HE IS GOD . PLEASE HELP !

[@maccabee5980]

I'm a Christian and I think this video makes some amazing points. Well researched and well done!

[@glashaydavis905]

Thank You Rabbi Julius Ciss!

[@joseseghiri9]

Thank you Rabbi, my gratitude and respect to You Rabbi, you say the TRUTH.

[@sayheydude101]

I'm with you guys. This all makes good sense, and I think the work you're doing is important. One question relating to the identity of the Jewish Messiah: How will you know that he will be related to King David? Do we have DNA or something? Birth records documenting the line? I'm not being a smart ass (trying not to be, anyway), just honestly want to know how you folks would answer this question. Anyone?

[@abdigacal5375]

They have lost the truth when the edited the Torah so they only fallow their desires.

[@lacresiafalls]

I was wondering this too!

[@EK-ys1qm]

That is the Muslim "explanation" for us not being Muslims. Torah is unchanged.

[@bryanfurr818]

he will be the antichrist

[@danielw.1339]

+sayheydude101 If someone met all of the other critera for the Messiah, it would probably be safe to say that he was the real Messiah since his geneology cannot be proven or disproven. There might be a better answer out there, but that's just my thoughts.

[@wildandwackywade]

If we need to change how do we become of the faith you have?

[@wildandwackywade]

ok cool.

[@wildandwackywade]

ok i looked and no luck i try again i guess.

[@avikraft3936]

Is it okay if send you a friends request?

[@rayraymontoya78]

Isn't the only response fundamentalists Christians have is that Jesus will do it next time? I'm sure there are other explanations, but that's the one I suspect will be used.

[@DanielToljaga]

Fair, square, and from religious point of view -- factual.

[@iam_kennybiggs]

So is this to say Chirstianity is false

[@777Godsgift777]

same here

[@mosesMaimon1]

i could not agree with you more. you are absolutely correct

[@TheBroDude777]

And Salaam to you dear half brother. As long as you coexist with us, and do not try to wage war against us unbelievers of your religion, we have nothing against you, and no qualm with muslims. If Islam can be peaceful and coexist with other religions, then nobody should have any problem with it.

Very interesting argument, I'll keep it in mind.

[@FernandoMartinez-td7mq]

I was born and raised into the Catholic faith. I was taught both the New Testament theology as well as the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh), known to Christians as the Septuagint, from the original Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures. The Torah "Instruction, Teaching", The Pentateuch, the first five books of Moses, the Nevi'im (the prophetic books) and the Ketuvim, "Hagiographa". The Talmud. I have a high reverence for the Jewish people. I only hope and pray for peace and prosperity to all my Jewish brothers and sisters. Shalom.

[@Achdus5772]

Welcome back!

[@Achdus5772]

[@taytay9186]

Thanks for posting this video, I always wanted straight forward reasons why Jews and Christians differ. Missionaries do a lot of good for the world, no Christian is perfect and might have harsh opinions about other Faiths (sadly). I'm a Christian and I never want to speak on behalf of other Christians. So with that being said, I myself believe the reason why Jesus was rejected by Jews was mostly because the High Priest. Cause to the High Priest Jesus was sac-Religious. But that was 2,000 years ago and I personally don't harbor any hatred or discrimination toward Jews, Muslims, Atheists, or any other beliefs or non beliefs. Me and you believe in the same Creator. Keep on doing your thing brother.

[@GenderSkins]

It does get tiresome, to hear people claim that Jesus is god, and the Messiah. As if he was, then the world would be at peace, and yet that has yet to come. And I have found the Torah to be a very good source of information. As I trust it a lot more, then I do the King James Bible, which was commissioned by the father of Queen Annie, who my grand mother was Lady in waiting too.

[@RealGentleman1]

Excellent! I use to be Christian and all this voodoo paganism that I use to be part of and believing in a men who was a G-d made me ask more questions and also questioned my faith. I converted, to be Jew! Jews are people of the book, they brought us G-d.

[@RealGentleman1]

Great video!

[@wastrel1000]

the reason the jews say no to jesus is because they have their own religion and are entitled to their religious freedoms beliefs and practices without being pestered by missionaries who should focus on themselves and show others the respect they deserve and have a right to in this country, to practice their own religion without persecution. christian missionaries have no humility as they assume arrogantly that their way is the only way. this does not invite welcome or friendship or meaningf

read the end....I didn't believe in satan until watching this...wow

[@pietrrocks]

gosh theres hope!

[@arnaudmoos8098]

Jesus was jew, just like me. All the concepts of christianity are concocted by a power hungry Roman emperor, who needed a consolidating state religion for his declining empire. Gd travels in mysterious ways.

[@jackbarman7063]

Good arguments assuming that you actually accept the Torah or bible and believe it is true and accurate, which I don't. All religions are wrong. I do agree that Jesus wasn't the messiah and maybe he never even existed, at least not as the bible says he did.

[@pauldavisschlichting3726]

I never understood the deal with the Jews. It took me until I was 45 before I realized what it’s all about. I am not Jewish, but maybe in my next life I will be fortunate enough to be born under two awesome Jewish parents. God bless you all. I believe that Jesus was actually Lucifer, the fallen Angel. The Jews were wise enough to see through this. I wonder why they did not call him by his name. But I was not there. Thank you Rabbi , Aloha

[@judaicaman007]

this is a good video, but it starts off from Missionary territory and it lets them set the tone of the discussion ie wether jesus was the messiah or not. THAT is NOT the issue! The issue is we have a different GOD! THAT should be the beginning AND end of any discussion, being the messiah is secondary and inconsequential to the Bible.

[@1richchristian]

Michael Brown ... go back to your day job at the Dairy Queen. Clearly you know nothing of the Messiah. Nothing.

[@j_freed]

Judaism is a great faith, whatever keeps you close to your faith and sincere in your practice is good. I don't think the teaching of Christ is for everyone, nor is it always well represented today. It was hard enough to clearly represent 2,000 years ago before it even had a name. Proselytizing for its own sake (from hubris, from vanity) may be a sin. The good of man is first, not what we want other people to be. God bless you!

[@newvibes3033]

Listen Mr. Rabbi you do not know neither understand what you’re talking about. Everything you have said so far none of it makes sense. For one and I will only give you this one, you’re claiming that Jesus didn’t come from the tribe of Judah. That’s a lie because he did read the book. As a matter a fact both Josheph and Mary his parents are both from the tribe of Judah. King David had a few sons Jesus came from that lineage and no it’s no Solomon.

[@MikePerez-nc2no]

All lies

[@majesticrainmaker1460]

Why didn't Jews accept Messiah, After killing JESUS, 4 Years Later

[@JewsforJudaismCanada]

Why didn't you watch the video? Maybe then... you could discover why the Jews didn't accept Jesus as the Messiah. For the record, it was the Romans who killed Jesus. One more point. If Jesus is the Messiah, then the New Testament is true. If Jesus is not the Messiah, then the New Testament is.....
