The Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah, a biblical figure in the Jewish Bible (Tanakh). Furthermore, Christians believe in a holy trinity while Jews believe in only one God. “In all likelihood, Jesus was a pious Jew, a man deeply committed to fulfilling the commandments of the Torah. At a momentous turning point in his life, Jesus apparently became a disciple of John the Baptist. And in time, after John was arrested and executed, Jesus went on, with some of John 's disciples as well as others of his own, and continued to preach John 's message, admonishing his fellow Jews to atone, repent, and prepare themselves for the imminent coming of God 's kingdom.”
