What is a basic teaching of Judaism?
There is one G-d. The Jews are His chosen people. Jews must follow the G-d's law as given to Moses. G-d will send a Messiah to save them. After they die, He will raise those who deserve it (Jewish and non-Jewish) to be with Him in heaven.
Who is the waiting messiah and Can messiah be a woman?
The idea of 'maschiach' (which means 'anointed') originated in Judaism. The Jewish Maschiach will be a normal, human man; he must fulfill the 23 Jewish messianic prophecies before he dies. Christianity took the concept, changed it, and declared that Jesus was the 'messiah'. As he does not fulfill any of the Jewish criteria for 'maschiach', though, he is not the Jewish messiah. The Jewish messiah is likely to be a man, but there are some Jews who argue that it could be a woman. There is a belief that in every generation, a potential messiah is born. But Jews do not actively 'wait' for their messiah. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does Matthew's Gospel stress that Jesus is the Messiah for whom the Jews have been waiting?
The vast majority of Jewish people do not believe that Jesus was the messiah, but that the messiah has yet to come.
In what sense did Jesus fulfill the role of Jewish messiah?
He didn't. The primary role of the messiah for Jews is to serve as King, to usher in the messianic era of peace. There is still war, and there isn't a messianic kingdom, so Jesus didn't fulfill the role of Jewish messiah.
How are inter-faith marriages supported by religious groups?
Religions tend to support married couples teaching their children the faith in which they are a part of and view it as a hardship if say a Jewish woman is teaching her children that the faith is still waiting for the Messiah while the Catholic father is teaching the children that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. It causes a conflict in the faith for the children and so religions encourage inter-faith marriages believing that the parents while do everything they can to teach their children the same faith as themselves.
What is the Jewish symbol for the hope for the future?
Messiah, redemption, World To Come.
How did Jewish people view Jesus?
The Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
Who thought the messiah would lead battles against enemies?
To prove himself as the Jewish messiah, a man has to fulfill all of the 23 Jewish prophecies, before he dies. One of these is that he must usher in world peace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
