(b) No, I do not believe that Jesus was/is "the promised Messiah," and I do not buy into that general concept. Royal messianism is not stipulated in the covenantal paradigm. There may or may not be a divinely-sanctioned king someday, but that is little concern of mine.
thanks,
This is a bit afield here. If you might repost this in the "Judaism" forum, then I'll engage the question there.
Thank you, Emmet

Re: Who do you say Jesus is?
Hi, Karen,
In Judaism, the one G-d does have the name marked by the Tetragrammaton.Is there the possibility in the Jewish faith, that the God of the Jew, Moses and Abraham was the encoded "JHVH"? or Jehovah?
I suppose part of the problem could be that Jesus is apparently a different person than the Father. Judaism does not conceive of multiple G-ds or of multiple persons within G-d.That the Christian may be enjoying the possibility of JHVH having become a man-child (though Mary of the Holy ghost), and that Jesus was a Jew, how could this be offensive to the Jew?

Sure it does. It just denies the existence as being self-evident.kaufmannphillips wrote:Judaism does not conceive of multiple G-ds or of multiple persons within G-d.

One does not have to concieve of multiple Gods in order to understand the Jewish God JHVH.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, [is] in the sanctuary: who [is so] great a God as [our] God?
elohiym - plural of ''elowahh' (433); gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative:--angels, X exceeding, God (gods)(-dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.
