−
| Many Jewish presentations define the Messiah’s role as bringing concrete, public outcomes (e.g., ingathering exiles, rebuilding the Temple, worldwide recognition of God, and peace). On this framing, Jesus did not accomplish these in his lifetime, therefore he is not the Messiah. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Why Jesus Is Not The Jewish Messiah |website=Jews for Judaism (Canada) |url=https://jewsforjudaism.ca/jesus-not-jewish-messiah/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Melachim uMilchamot – Chapter 11 |website=Chabad.org |url=https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/1188356/jewish/Melachim-uMilchamot-Chapter-11.htm}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Mishneh Torah, Kings and Wars 11:1 |website=Sefaria |url=https://www.sefaria.org/Mishneh_Torah%2C_Kings_and_Wars.11.1?lang=en}}</ref>

| Many Jewish presentations define Messiah by public outcomes (Temple rebuilding, ingathering, peace, worldwide knowledge of God). Since this did not occur in Jesus’ lifetime, Jesus is not Messiah on that framing.

| Christianity often answers that Messiah’s work unfolds in stages: the first coming inaugurates redemption; the second consummates it (final judgment, full peace/kingdom). <ref>{{Cite web |title=Acts 1:11 |website=BibleGateway |url=https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Acts%201%3A11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Catechism of the Catholic Church – Article 7 (“He Will Come Again in Glory”) |website=Vatican.va |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/catechism/en/part_one/section_two/chapter_two/article_7.html}}</ref>

| Jewish critiques often reject the idea that a failed messianic claimant can “come back later to finish the job,” and note that “Second Coming” language is historically Christian and controversial inside Judaism. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Why Jesus Is Not The Jewish Messiah |website=Jews for Judaism (Canada) |url=https://jewsforjudaism.ca/jesus-not-jewish-messiah/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Splintering of Chabad (letters section) |website=Jewish Action |url=https://jewishaction.com/letters/13648/}}</ref>

| Isaiah 53 “Suffering Servant” is Israel (or another figure), not the Messiah / not Jesus
−
| A common rabbinic approach identifies the servant as Israel (often reading “Israel-as-one” in prophetic poetry) and interprets Isaiah 53 accordingly; classic citations include Rashi’s commentary. <ref>{{Cite web |title=Rashi on Isaiah 53:3 |website=Sefaria |url=https://www.sefaria.org/sheets/590811}}</ref>

Common Jewish objections (with sources)

Sources note: This page aims to represent both Jewish and Christian views fairly. Where a claim describes a Jewish position, it should be supported by Jewish sources (Tanakh, rabbinic texts, or mainstream Jewish explanations). Where a claim describes a Christian position, it should be supported by Christian sources (New Testament, early church, or scholarly references).



This page lists common Jewish objections to Christian claims about Jesus as Messiah, alongside common Christian replies. It documents disagreements and the sources each side appeals to.

Objections table

# Objection (summary) Typical Jewish framing (with sources) Typical Christian reply (with sources)
1 Messiah must accomplish the messianic age (peace, ingathering, Temple, universal knowledge of God) Many Jewish presentations define Messiah by public outcomes (Temple rebuilding, ingathering, peace, worldwide knowledge of God). Since this did not occur in Jesus’ lifetime, Jesus is not Messiah on that framing.

[1] [2]

Christians often answer with an “already/not-yet” framework: first coming (atonement), second coming (kingdom completion).

[3] [4]

2 “Second coming” is not a Jewish concept of Messiah Jewish critiques often reject the idea that a messianic claimant can “come back later to finish,” treating it as a Christian innovation.

[5]

Christians treat the return of Christ as central and explicit in New Testament teaching and historic creeds.

[6] [7]

3 Isaiah 53 “Suffering Servant” is Israel (or another figure), not the Messiah / not Jesus A common Jewish approach reads the servant corporately (Israel / righteous remnant). Rashi’s Isaiah commentary is frequently cited in modern debate.

[8]

Christians often read Isaiah 53 as messianic and see echoes in New Testament descriptions of Jesus’ suffering.

[9]

4 Jeremiah 31 “New Covenant” is with Israel/Judah and Torah remains Jewish readings emphasize the text explicitly names Israel and Judah and describes Torah written on the heart (internalized fidelity), not replacement.

[10]

Christians commonly cite Hebrews’ use of Jeremiah 31 to argue Jesus mediates the covenant’s fulfillment.

[11]

5 God’s unity/incorporeality: Messiah is not God; incarnation conflicts with Jewish monotheism Jewish sources emphasize God’s oneness and incorporeality; worship of a human is rejected.

[12] [13] [14]

Christians argue the New Testament teaches Jesus’ divinity and incarnation as compatible with monotheism (Trinitarian framework).

[15] [16]

6 Context and “proof-texting”: Christian readings detach verses from peshat Jewish critiques argue New Testament-style fulfillment readings often ignore context and peshat.

[17] [18]

Christians reply that Scripture can have more than one “sense,” including typology, and that apostolic interpretation reads earlier texts in light of later revelation.

[19]

7 Original sin / inherited guilt is not a Jewish doctrine Many Jewish explanations reject inherited guilt and emphasize individual responsibility.

[20] [21]

Christianity often grounds original sin in Romans 5 and summarizes it in catechesis.

[22]

8 Torah tests: Deuteronomy 13 and the danger of a “sign-working” deceiver Some Jewish objections appeal to Deuteronomy 13: even if signs occur, if someone leads Israel away from Torah/true worship, he is rejected.

[23]

Christians reply by disputing the premise (that Jesus leads away from Torah/God), and by arguing Jesus fulfills Torah rather than annuls it.
