Does Judaism really think that Jesus is the False Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament?

You referring to the bit in Deuteronmy wher eit states that if someone comes, performs miracles but tries to alter even a single letter of the Torah they are false and should be rejected- merely a test to see whether we will maintian our faith in God?





There is no clear stance on that- though obviously that warning could be applied to jesus (if he aperformed the miracles ascribed to him). But there are other recorded false messiahs in Jewish history, most of whom also performed miracles. Most commentary on this puts it down to the misuse of the esoteric secrets found in the Kaballah (or madnes, followed by their misuse) which is one of the reasons given for restricting the study of Kaballah.





As for Jesus, the one consensus amongst all Orthodox jews (I can't speak for the other denominations) is that he was not a prophet, teacher, Rabbi or anything else- he is completely irrelevant and meaningless to Jews, anything he taught had been taught by the Rabbis long before he was born.Does Judaism really think that Jesus is the False Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament?
Yes, he is considered one of the false ones, and there are many of them in Jewish history.Does Judaism really think that Jesus is the False Messiah prophesied in the Old Testament?
Jesus was one of many false messiahs. He doesn't fulfil the prophecies e.g. End to all war, resurrection of the dead, etc.
Yes...because there is a verse in the bible that says if a man fulfills only a few messianic prophecies and can't for the rest...he's a fake.
Most Jews think Jesus was a great teacher but not the Messiah ... I don't know that they think he was prophesied in the Old Testament, but they definately don't believe he was the Messiah
Judaism doesn't think anything about Jesus.





He was not a Prophet, he was definitely not the Messiah, if he existed he was just a man.





';Messianic'; Jews are not Jews but delusional Christians. Delusional is actually nice because if they are not delusional then they are just dishonest.
Actually, Maimonides does say that Jesus is alluded to in the Book of Daniel. It ain't complimentary, however:





';...sons of the lawless men of your people will exalt themselves to establish a vision, but they will stumble.'; (Daniel 11:14)





Maimonides goes on to say, ';For is there a greater stumbling block than this? All the prophets foretold that the Messiah would redeem the Jews, help them, gether in the exiles, and support the observance of the Torah. But he cuased Jewry to be degraded, he tampered with the Torah and its laws, and he misled most of the world to serve something other than God.';





Ouch.
The belief that God can be human is the ultimate heresy!





If a man named Jesus actually existed, he was nothing more than any other Jew living under Roman domination. His experience on the cross was no different from thousands of other Jewish corpses left rotting on the crosses lining the streets of Jerusalem.


.
the Pharisees of hos time did and most of the leaders still do yes.
jews think Jesus was a great prophet but not the messiah
maybe...





@the guy below me... Yeshua was the original name of Jesus
I've met some that do, yes
No, we don't believe that Jesus was anything, false or otherwise, that was prophesied in the Bible (what Christians call the ';Old Testament';). To us he was just another rabbi, another teacher. Not a great prophet, not a false messiah--just a teacher. As to how the so-called ';Messianic Jews'; justify their faith--I have no idea, but I can tell you that they aren't Jewish, period end of sentence.
