Christianity vs. Jesus the Messiah?



This Jewish convert spoke of the hindrance to Jesus created by Christianity throughout history.  Coming to realize that Jesus is the Messiah and accepting him as Lord and Saviour, he now deals with a family that is confused about why he has converted to  a faith that was the source of much strife for the Jewish people throughout history.

  • What would be the equivalent for a Christian family experiencing a child accepting a faith that has hurt Christians throughout history?
  • How difficult is it for Jews to accept Jesus as Messiah?
  • How can we speak of Jesus in a way that will cause Jews to consider him as Messiah?
  • How can we speak of Jesus in a way that conveys his Divinity without being offense to Jews?
  • Why does Jesus appear in world history as a Jew?
  • Could God have simply done this another way .i.e., Jesus having come attached to another people group?
