It would only be accurate to say that most of the Jews opposed Jesus Christ in spite of His miracles; however, no one accepted Jesus during his lifetime who was not a Jew. All of his Apostles were Jews and all of the people who were blessed by His miracles were Jews. The Samaritan woman at the well might be the only exception. The Samaritans were actually Jews by faith but not by blood,
Anyway, why does anyone reject God after receiving the blessings of a miracle. It happens all the time. The miracles of God are predicated on faith. That is, you have to already believe before you can receive the miracle. In addition, I believe that the miracle must also not interfere with the faith (or lack of faith) of others. There is always a way for people of faith to explain away the miracles.
There are two major fallacies implied in this question from a Jewish perspective. The first is the assumption that, even conceding the performance of miracles, the performance of mircales grants a person prophetic status or Messiah status. The second is that the Christian ascription of Jesus' redemptive qualities (i.e. He is the Christ, the truth, and the way) accords with Jewish principles or understandings of the Messiah. It is on account of these two major issues that Jews opposed what Jesus was saying and doing, even assuming that the Gospels are accurate or historical materials.
1) As to the first issue, there are three parts that need to be addressed. The first is that miracles alone do not certify "goodness" on behalf the miracle-doer; the second, is that the Messiah has a number of requirements that Jesus did not fulfill; and the third is that Jesus actively did things that violate requirements of Judaism.
1-1) Judaism makes clear that there are those who can perform wondrous deeds even though they lack faith in God at all (see also Deuteronomy ch.13). The Magicians in Pharaoh's Court are a perfect example. They are able to replicate (Exodus ch.7-8) some of the early plagues. If God had stopped after the second plague, who could say that these Magicians were not Prophets, revealing the words of Amon Ra? Additionally, Balaam is recounted as a wicked prophet who was able to see the Will of God and prophesy. In Numbers ch.25 (see also Numbers ch.31), he cleverly devises a plan to get the Israelites to sin against God and incur His wrath. The plan succeeds and results in a pestilence afflicting the people. On account of these individuals and others sprinkled throughout the Bible, it is clear that being able to hear God's voice and/or perform miracles does not necessarily make someone a True Prophet. Therefore, the Bible makes clear that one of the defining marks between a True Prophet and a False Prophet is that no True Prophet will ever deviate from the Law as it was established (Deuteronomy 13:1). A Messiah must also comport to this standard, since he is to be a Holy King.
1-2) Functions of the Jewish Messiah that Jesus failed to fulfill (this list is not exhaustive):
Jews today do not believe that Jesus did any miracles; and it is likely that the same holds true for religious Jews who lived 1950 years ago. Jesus' followers among the Jews were a very small group; all others were unimpressed. According to our tradition, the vast majority of the Jews at the time didn't hear of him. The Torah-sages (Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakkai, Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel, Chanina ben Dosa, Bava ben Buta, Shimon ben Hillel, Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yehoshua, Rabbi Akiva, and hundreds of others) were active at that time and their yeshivot (Torah-academies) were flourishing. Their tens of thousands of disciples and hundreds of thousands of sympathizers were active in the Jewish world in that generation; they were the leaders and the forefront of Judaism. As Josephus (Antiquities book 18) writes, "the cities give great attestations to them." The great majority of Jews loved their sages and their Torah.
The unlearned class of the Amei-haaretz (ignoramuses) was a small fringe of society, but even they would and did lay down their lives in order not to violate anything of the Torah. As one ancient historian famously wrote:
Hecateus declares again, "what regard we [Jews] have for our laws; and we resolve to endure anything rather than transgress them." And he adds: "They [Jews] may be stripped on this account, and have torments inflicted upon them, and be brought to the most terrible kinds of death, but they meet these tortures after an extraordinary manner, beyond all other people, and will not renounce the religion of their forefathers."
No one (even any who did hear of Jesus) - would have given heed to what was and is considered unacceptable for us. The few who came in contact with him soon lost interest, and the early Christians felt the need to turn to non-Jewish centers of population in order to gain adherents, while the Jews remained Jews.
Judaism does not believe that Jesus is or was anything other than a regular human being.
(See: What do Jews believe God is like?)
We may also note that according to our tradition, prophecy ceased about 340 years before the birth of Jesus; and public miracles stopped even earlier.
None that I know of, The ten plagues in Egypt, though spoken and performed by Aaron, (Exodus 4.13to17), were initiated by Moses on the behalf of God.
Many, if not most, are. Though there are opposing views.
i don't really think there really is an art of creating miracles. i think they just kind of happen ... though its a tough question...
yes because even though some people don't believe in second chances we all know that god does so god gives you a second chance when other people don't want to!!
Though the scriptures do not give us any indication that the Jews performed and form of exorcism on Christ behalf, does not mean that some may have tried to exorcise the evil spirits which they thought possessed him.
According to the Bible, Jesus did perform miracles such as curing the blind, feeding thousands of people with only a few loaves of bread and a few fish, and resurrecting himself from the dead. It is up to each individual to decided whether the information in the Bible pertaining to Jesus's miracles are correct though.
No Christ died for everyone. Even though he wants everyone saved.
Belief in miracles varies greatly among individuals and cultures. Some studies suggest that a majority of people worldwide believe in miracles to some extent, though the exact number is difficult to quantify. It ultimately depends on personal beliefs and experiences.
Yes. This is in John's Gospel. At a wedding party, the wine ran out and Mary commanded the young Jesus to turn water into wine. She had absolute confidence in his ability to do so, even though Jesus had not yet begun his mission and had not yet demonstrated an ability to perform miracles.
Pious legend credits Patrick with banishing snakes from the island, though post-glacial Ireland never actually had snakes; one suggestion is that snakes referred to the serpent symbolism of the Druids of that time and place, as shown for instance on coins minted in Gaul (see Carnutes),
I don't see a question, only a statement. The Church of Christ does share in the Lord's supper each Sunday though.
A:Christians do actually believe in miracles - just not the miracles of faiths other than their own. Catholics believe that miracles are constantly being performed, but other Christians believe the age of miracles is over.
