Arguments against Christ as Messiah

The Divinity of Jesus and the Trinity​

Objections:

  • Judaism rejects the concept of God taking human form or existing as a trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).
  • Belief in a corporeal or finite God contradicts Jewish theology, which holds that God is infinite and non-material.

The Concept of the Second Coming​

Objections:

  • In Jewish theology, the Messiah must complete his mission (gathering the Jews to Israel, rebuilding the Temple, and establishing world peace) in his lifetime.
  • Jesus was crucified and did not fulfill these tasks, leading Christianity to develop the idea of a "Second Coming," which Judaism does not accept.

The Abrogation of the Torah​

Objections:

  • Christianity, particularly through Paul, introduced the idea of "justification by faith" rather than adherence to the Torah’s commandments.
  • Judaism views the Torah as eternal and unchangeable, rejecting the notion that the Sinaitic covenant could be replaced or made obsolete.
