Jewish Messiah - Judaism and Christianity
Christianity as we have come to know it emerged from Judaism in the first century of the Common Era. The first Christians were Jews, and likely subscribed to Jewish beliefs and practices common at the time. Among these was a belief that a messiah—a descendant of King David—would restore the monarchy and Jewish independence. Christians identified this person as Jesus of Nazareth.
In Christian eschatology, the one claiming to be the Jewish Messiah is equated to the antichrist.
According to mainstream Jewish beliefs, the failure of Jesus to meet the textual requirements, and his crucifixion by Romans, negated claims that he was the messiah. Since Jews do not believe that Jesus was the messiah, they reject the use of the full Christian name, "Jesus Christ". ("Christ" literally translated from the Greek Khristós means "anointed".) See Jewish eschatology and Christ for further discussion.
Judaism teaches that it is heretical for any man to claim to be a part of God (or to be God Himself); Jews view Jesus as just one in a long list of false claimants to be the messiah. The article on the concept of the messiah contains a list of many people who claimed to be the messiah, son of God, or both.
