What's more Jesus is the "Jewish God", the only God and Savior there is (Isaiah 43:10,11). But the Jews rejected him (John 1:11) and reject him today. They deny that he is the Christ. Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father. But he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:22,23).

Darn straight I reject J.C. as my "savior". As a Jew, I declare this every single day in the Shema prayer. For Jews, there is but ONE G-d and that's G-d. Nobody else. J.C. is nothing but a possible historical footnote to me, as a Jew. He is not a part of my religion, so any and all of your ridiculous, untrue claims regarding Jews' possession of Israel are just so much blah-blah-blah. How dare you claim that Jews are cut off from G-d because they do not acknowledge J.C. as part of their religion? Go grab one of those plastic milk cartons from the back of your local grocery store and stand on it to set yourself up with your so-called "truths". Scream it until your throat is raw; it still won't make it true.

Jesus Christ said it. Here are the precise scripture:

42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? 43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. 44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Matthew 21:42-44

Jesus Christ, whose name you cannot say, has been highly exalted by God.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:9-11

segalTwenty-five years ago, rabbinical scholar Alan Segal produced what is still the major work on the idea of two powers in heaven in Jewish thought. Segal argued that the two powers idea was not deemed heretical in Jewish theology until the second century C.E. He carefully traced the roots of the teaching back into the Second Temple era (ca. 200 B.C.E.). Segal was able to establish that the idea’s antecedents were in the Hebrew Bible, specifically passages like Dan 7:9ff., Exo 23:20-23, and Exo 15:3. However, he was unable to discern any coherent religious framework from which these passages and others were conceptually derived. Persian dualism was unacceptable as an explanation since neither of the two powers in heaven were evil. Segal speculated that the divine warrior imagery of the broader ancient near east likely had some relationship.”
