Jesus is one facet of God.

He's the only way to heaven. Jews who reject Him do not have the Father:

1Jn_2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:

You left off the most important part of 1 John 2:23:

"Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also."


3.As did Maimonides and Yehudah Halevi,[1] we acknowledge that Christianity is neither an accident nor an error, but the willed divine outcome and gift to the nations. In separating Judaism and Christianity, G-d willed a separation between partners with significant theological differences, not a separation between enemies. Rabbi Jacob Emden wrote that “Jesus brought a double goodness to the world. On the one hand he strengthened the Torah of Moses majestically… and not one of our Sages spoke out more emphatically concerning the immutability of the Torah. On the other hand he removed idols from the nations and obligated them in the seven commandments of Noah so that they would not behave like animals of the field, and instilled them firmly with moral traits…

Whereas the Gospel of John was written to unbelievers, this epistle was written to those who were already believers (5:13).[9] It seems likely that its audience was largely gentile rather than Jewish, since it contains few Old Testament quotations or distinctly Jewish forms of expression.[2] The epistle was probably carried by itinerant missionaries to different churches throughout the region and read aloud to the congregations.[10]

Stuff it. Where your sun never shines. You have your religion. Don't try to foist it off on me or mine. JC means NOTHING to Jews. So yeah, I reject JC. For Jews, he is not the way to heaven, he does not even enter our mental radar.

You are NO DIFFERENT from a Muzzie trying to force non-Muzzies to accept their beliefs. Absolutely no difference at all.

If Jews wish to peacefully practice their non-JC-containing religion, they have a perfect right to do so without being criticized for having what is to us a foreign element tacked on. Might as well suggest Krishna or Buddha to a Jew as JC.
