You should be happy he didn't appear with a rabbi who thinks the God Emperor is the Messiah.
He didn't NEED another person for that. After all, that's HIS schtick.
Obviously, I failed to explain my point properly. We all know from reading the NT that Salvation was delivered to the Jews FIRST but the message was also that Salvation was going to the gentiles as well. Now say that you're sitting back, looking to derail this whole plan God has. What better way than to eliminate Jews?
Its like you saying "I'm gonna drive my car to the store to buy groceries" and I come by and burn your car down and call you a liar. Is it logical? Yea, to an evil mind.
Mainstream Jews still don't subscribe to the concept of salvation.

You show me a living Jew who believes in salvation or (as many Christians do) calls Jesus "Christ" and I'll show you an evangelical Christian, not a Jew at all.
"Christ" is not a name, it's an honorific.
I don't need to be splained to about Jesus being a Jew. Of course he was. We find lots of prophecy in (particularly) Jeremiah but also in other prophets, that God was going to "take his show on the road" since the Jews didn't "get it." So Jesus came from the Jews and was himself a Jew but what he brought was not FOR the Jews and they still don't think so. They would kill him again if he showed up tomorrow.
I don't have a problem with the (real) Jews about this. Jesus (and "salvation" for that matter) is the answer to a QUESTION THEY HAVE NEVER ASKED.
