Ever wondered what a Jew thinks about Jesus Christ? I didn't look into Judaism and its beliefs in details... So here is an interesting response from a Jew, I have come across on a discussion board...
I am a Jew who respects the teachings of Jesus among the teachings of my faith because Jesus taught my faith "faithfully" according to his own lights. I don't think he's divine. I don't think he was the Messiah. BUT he was teaching Hillelite Judaism through the range of his mission. There are many Jews (I don't mean Jews for Jesus or Messianic Jews) who share that belief. You might want to read "Two Kinds of Religion" by Martin Buber for his appreciation of the teachings of Jesus, especially the parables.
Jesus was trying to teach something that got overlooked in the elevation of Jesus to deific honors. He was trying to teach that the way out of sin was not to worship him but to obey the commandments IN LOVE. He said that if we love God, we are more likely to cleave to God's ways as taught in the mitzvot and in the aggadic traditions of Judaism. That means we are less likely to treat people as things for our own gratification and treat them as people God created like ourselves.
That's my reading of it and I'm stickin' to it.
Jews have a category of people called "righteous Gentiles" meaning righteous of all nations. That group will have a place in paradise just as Muslims have the same kind of belief. I think Christians do not. Christians believe (and I can't generalize here to all Christians so don't send me telegrams) that only Christians are going to spend eternity in paradise. In fact, there' s a joke to that effect.
A righteous Jew and a righteous Muslim reach Paradise at the same time and God welcomes them with a banquet ending in beautiful fruits. After they have dined sumptuously, God introduces them to their welcoming angel, Gabriel/Jibril. The archangel tells them they are going to be shown to their quarters and do they want to bunk together or apart. They both leave it up to Jibril/Gabriel. He leads them toward a long hallway and then puts his fingers to his lips.
"We need to tiptoe past here and not speak," he says. The two righteous people look questioningly at him. "They are Christians and part of heaven for them is the idea that they are alone here."
