I am Jewish, so I do not believe in the divinity of Jesus (or any other human being)...
...BUT...
...if someone depends upon an artifact for their faith, then their faith is not at all strong. I would LOVE for the Ark of the Covenant to be found - thrilled, beyond anything that I’ve ever felt - but its absence does not shake my faith.
The Shroud of Turin may genuinely be Jesus’ burial cloth, or it may not be. I kind of doubt that it is, but even IF it is and there was a miracle necessary to produce that image, a mere miracle does not shake MY faith - the Jewish Bible (Old Testament to you Christians) is full of miracles by or for the benefit of lots of non-Jews, but the Bible is CLEAR that performing a miracle (which, by definition requires G-d to actually perform) does not mean very much at all in determining Who is G-d and what He wants of us. I believe that whether one is Christian (any variant) or Jewish, G-d wants us to recognize and act in a manner consistent with our faith that HE is the Creator and Master of the Universe...and a big part of that is treating our fellow human beings of any faith (or none) in as decent a manner as we, ourselves, would like to be treated.

As a Christian, I completely agree with you and all Christians should, as well.
Well said. May your life glorify Him.
I think you've about captured it right there.

There's still hope for you, brother or sister! :)
Nicely stated excellent doctrine; good for Jews and Christians alike. I am glad you weighed in on this.
I wonder why you do do not believe that Jesus was both divine and human?
How can Jesus who died on the cross was buried in a tomb and rose from the Dead on Easter Sunday be explained and then ascended into Heaven by HIS own power and witnessed by many observers?
Jesus claimed to be God as Jesus said “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12) and “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6).
Jesus acted as God as He forgave sins, which is something that only God has the authority to do.
God’s love is so unending that he desires to share it with each of us, as Jesus tells us “If a man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him” (John 14:23)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1) “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; beheld his glory as of the only-begotten Son from the Father.” (John 1:14)
Many of prophecies of the Old Testament were fulfilled by Christ in the New Testament. Jesus came as our Savior to restore us from our sins so that we could enter eternal life with God.
May you fully understand God’s Truth and accept Jesus as God.
Absolutely!!!!!
Their faith is then not in the God they claim to believe in but in an object they can see and touch.
At which point, it ceases to be faith.
