Judaism doesn't accept the Christian Christ because Christian doctrine says their Christ came to abolish what the prophesies says he come to fulfill, which means to fill up with meaning by instructing the people as to the right way to follow Torah as Torah contains the terms of the Covenant. The prophesies also say that the Messiah IS the Torah so any doctrine that claims the Torah abolished the Torah and started a new church is blatantly blaspheming the Word & YHVH our Father.
The Greek word for fulfill used in Mt 5 is ‘pleroo’; the same word used in Mt 3 when Yah’shua says he came to fulfill righteousness. So if Yah’shua abolished Torah and made a new church as Christendom teaches, this means that the Christ of Christendom also abolished righteousness.
Judaism is very familiar with the all prophecy of the Messiah and thus because of Christendom doctrine that is in opposition to what the Scriptures teach & prophecy, Jews are still waiting for the 1st coming of the Messiah. One can not expect or condemn the Jews for rejecting the Christ of Christendom because the Christendom doctrine defines him as the false Messiah. If I was a Jew and had to rely on the doctine of Christendom, I would not believe that Christendom's Christ is the Messiah spoken of in the prophesies either.
ALL Scripture, from Gen to Rev, was originally written in Hebrew as all the writers were devout Jews who never left the faith, but instead preserved it in its pure language.
