Jewish views on Jesus

Adherents of Judaism do not believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah nor do they believe he was the Son of God. In the Jewish perspective, it is believed that the way Christians see Jesus goes against monotheism, a belief in the absolute unity and singularity of God, which is central to Judaism. Jews see the worship of a person as a form of idolatry, which is forbidden. Therefore, considering Jesus divine, as "God the Son" is forbidden. Judaism's rejection of Jesus as the Messiah is based on Jewish eschatology, which holds that the coming of the true Messiah will be associated with events that have not yet occurred, such as the rebuilding of the Temple, a Messianic Age of Peace, and the ingathering of Jews to their homeland.
