Moses did not claim to have any supernatural powers. He was just a man. Miracles can only be performed by god.
For Jesus to perform a miracle would mean that Jesus was a god, which is blasphemy. There is only one god.
this is not good reasoning considering you acknowledge that Moses was able to perform miracles due to God giving him the power
Incorrect. You need to read my post before responding.
Moses did not perform any miracles. That's why he was taken aback when god told him what to do in front of Pharaoh. God performed the miracles. He did it through Moses, but it was god all along. God did not give Moses any powers. Moses could not perform any miracles.
You really don't understand the concept of monotheism with respect to Judaism, do you? That is the entire reason that Jesus cannot under any circumstances be the Messiah: The miracles are attributed to him, not god.
That's blasphemy. There is only one god and only god can perform miracles. There is no need for a son for to have a son would mean there is a god other than god and there is only one.

like the jews, your idea of the messiah is very material and limited.
Like a blasphemer, you wish to change the word of god. It is not for you to say who the Messiah is.
You seem to think that Jews are incapable of understanding Judaism. That only a Christian can tell a Jew what Judaism means. That in trying to determine what Judaism has to say about the Jewish Messiah, we should look to people who aren't Jews because the Jews are too ignorant of their own religion to understand what Jewish theology states.
quote:
He was to be a messiah for the whole world, not just the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
What part of "unites the land" are you having a hard time understanding? Once again, you seem to think that you know better than Jews what Judaism says.
You need to take your arrogance, put it aside, and consider the possibility that other people understand their own religion better than you do.
If you can't have respect for another person's religion, what on earth makes you think you deserve respect for yours?
