What made Jews in Judea to accept Jesus as their Messiah?
The Jews refuse to take Jesus Christ as the Messiah , even today. Historically, Judea was under Roman control. The Jewish leaders were focused on a political Messiah who would drive Rome out. Jesus took an attitude of distinct reserve and caution to this title (Messiah) since it carried overtones of political power. He went to the cross as a crucified Messiah because the Jewish leaders failed to perceive the nature of messiahship as Jesus understood it. Jews who follow Jesus today are called Messianic Jews.
What was the significance surrounding the ministry of Jesus and his proclamation as messiah by his followers?

What religion did Jesus Christ praticed?
Mormonism, or being an LDS Answer: Jesus practiced Judism as God had meant it to be practiced. The Law of Moses had been around for centuries but by the time Jesus came on the scene it had been perverted so badly that it was a mass of confusion. The Pharisee's had added so many man made laws to the Law of Moses it was next to impossible to follow God. Jesus took Judism and showed the people how to live it correctly. Then Jesus took Judism a step further and revealed Himself to be the Messiah that was to come (prophesied)and sacrificed Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, was buried and resurrected thereby ushering in the New Covenant, that was also prophesied. This New Covenant is what Christians practice. One day the Jewish people will recognize Jesus as the true Messiah and accept the New Covenant. Some Jews individually have already done this.
Where was Jesus Christ during his 20's?
There really doesn't appear to be much information available about the 18 years of Jesus' whereabouts. We know that at around the age of 12, Joseph took him away and cared for him. The rest of the information comes in bits and pieces that suggest Joseph may have taken Jesus to a place known today as the British Isles. There within the British Archives you wil find the story of a man known only as the Messiah. This Messiah traveled the area and performed miracles. Although the name 'Jesus' is never mentioned in the story, the inference is certainly there. Recently as of March 2009 researchers from National Geographic interviewed a group of monks living in the northern deserts of Egypt where they revealed stories passed down through the generations of a ' holy family ' living among them whose names were Josehp, Mary and Jesus. This seems to indicate that Jesus may have stayed in Egypt for some time before traveling to Europe. When Jesus did return to Jerusalem and was baptized in the Jordan river, John [the baptist] also refered to Him as the Messiah.
Who took care of Jesus' mother?

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who were the people who killed Christ?
The Jewish leaders wanted Jesus to be crucified because they did not agree with His claim to be the Son of God. They could not believe He was the promised messiah as His message was about love and caring etc. The Jews were looking for a Messiah who would start a revolt and run the Romans out of Israel. Jesus did not fit this description. The Jews took Jesus and put Him on trial and He was in their eyes worthy of death. They could not kill a person because of the Roman law and so they took Him to Pilate, the Roman governor of Judah. They convinced Pilate to have Him crucified, so the Roman soldier's crucified Him. Jesus Christ's death was planned before the foundation of the world was laid, because God knew that man in His creation would sin and would need a redeemer. This was God's plan for the salvation of man. Every person that has lived on the earth has sinned. Our sin put Jesus on the Cross.
