According to the Tanakh, which is what Jesus knew, he does not fit the prophesy. He died before accomplishing what the Jews knew to be their truth.

The Messiah was supposed to bring peace and rebuild the Temple, yes? Jesus did not accomplish this. The Messiah is supposed to usher in an era of peace. Jesus did not do that either.

The Bible did not appear on the scene for many centuries. The Jews through the Diaspora still lived the Torah. That has not changed. Jesus was Hebrew. There was no such thing as Christianity.

Christianity came much later along with the Trinity which goes against what Jesus, and every Jew at the time believed.

This takes nothing away from Jesus who was a remarkable, charismatic, and awesome man. According to the Tanakh, Jesus was not the Messiah. He was a Prophet with amazing and wonderful gifts. He was robust, and well rounded. He changed the World. He especially loved and appreciated women.

Jesus is a man I would share a Cosmo with.
You are a Jesus follower, who believes like a Jew. Interesting...

That's kind of my first thought. It's impossible to consider. If Jesus isn't who he says he is, then he is a liar and/or a lunatic. I accept him as Lord.

And I am not reading "I am closer than anyone else". I'm just reading "I have a close personal relationship with God" regardless of what anyone else has or believes.

The apostles (who walked with Jesus) were Jews, but believed Jesus was the Messiah.

"You shall call His name Immanuel", meaning God with us.

How does the above apply to the Mashiach let alone Jesus?...
