“The Jews believe the very premise of Christianity is false.”

This is your claim. Not all Jews believe this.

What premise are you referring to, exactly? The Jews may still be waiting for a messiah. Christians believe Jesus will come again to deliver us from evil. The messiah will come to deliver the Jews from their enemies, so that they will know His Name is the Lord.

How do you know that both of these expectations won’t be met at the same time?

Again, I’m guessing at your premise.

How do you know that the two beliefs are at odds?

The basic premise - Jesus Christ is the Son of God, come to earth in the form of a man, as Messiah, Lord and Savior.

The Jews reject that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
They reject that He is the Messiah.
They reject that He is Lord and Savior.

If a religious Jew were to accept the basic premise - they would be exactly like Peter, and John and Paul...and they would be Christians.

WHEN he returns, some will accept Him - but they must turn from their previous unbelief to do so.

For clarification - I am speaking of Judaism from the time of Christ to now. I fully accept the Old Testament as the true Word of God. I fully accept that Christ is the fulfillment of the Law.
