		+	== Common Jewish Objections to Jesus as the Messiah ==
		+
		+	Jewish objections to Jesus generally fall into five main categories based on biblical interpretation, theological beliefs, and historical expectations.
		+
		+	=== 1. The Messiah Was Expected to Fulfill Specific Prophecies ===
		+
		+	'''Jewish View''':
		+	The Messiah must:
		+	* Rebuild the '''Third Temple''' (Ezekiel 37:26–28)
		+	* Bring '''universal peace''' (Isaiah 2:4)
		+	* Gather all Jews back to '''Israel''' (Isaiah 11:12)
		+	* Bring universal '''knowledge of God''' (Jeremiah 31:33–34)
		+
		+	'''Objection''':
		+	Jesus did '''not fulfill''' these prophecies in his lifetime. Therefore, he cannot be the Messiah.
		+
		+	----
		+
		+	'''Christian View''':
		+	Jesus’ mission is unfolding in '''two comings''':
		+
		+	* At His '''first coming''', He fulfilled prophecies about the '''suffering servant''' (Isaiah 53), bearing sin, and offering spiritual salvation.
		+	* At His '''second coming''', He will fulfill the remaining messianic prophecies, including peace, judgment, and restoration.
		+
		+	'''Support''':
		+	* Zechariah 9:9 shows a humble king riding a donkey (fulfilled)
		+	* Zechariah 14 and Daniel 7 describe future victory and rule (awaiting fulfillment)
		+
		+	----
		+
		+	=== 2. The Torah Is Eternal and Unchanging ===
		+
		+	'''Jewish View''':
		+	The Torah is '''divine''', '''complete''', and '''unchangeable''' (Deuteronomy 13:1; Psalm 119).
		+	Any teaching that alters or overrides the Torah is considered false.
		+
		+	'''Objection''':
		+	Jesus (or Paul) appeared to '''abolish or override''' Torah laws—such as Sabbath observance, dietary restrictions, and sacrificial laws—which contradicts the Torah’s eternal authority.
		+
		+	----
		+
		+	=== 3. The Messiah Is a Human Leader — Not Divine ===
		+
		+	'''Jewish View''':
		+	The Messiah is a '''rig
