Do Jews accept Jesus Christ into their heart?

I know that they deny him, but I just wonder if the Jewish religion encourages that all believers get baptized, and born again by accepting Jesus Christ into their hearts as Lord and Savior.

Because without Jesus, you can't save yourself from the pits of hell. Just saying. So, I was just wondering. Thanks! :)

I guess you forgot that they don't believe in your Lord Jesus. Perhaps it was because their ancestors were there about 2000 years ago, and knew that Jesus didn't exist and was merely a created myth.

There's no reliable evidence that Jesus even existed. The story of Jesus is just a myth cobbled together out of prophesy and stories from the Old Testament and previous gods and myths -- created in the 40's and 50's by Paul of Tarsus (who exhibited evidence of epilepsy and had delusions of Christ talking to him), the other apostles, the unknown authors of the gospels in the 70's or later, and many other people. The reliable evidence for this is overwhelming.

If Jesus had actually existed, Paul would have written about his life, disciples, and teachings. Paul did not write about any of this.

If Jesus had actually existed, the gospels would have been written in first person format. Instead, they were written in third person format like a Harry Potter story, with Matthew and Luke extensively plagiarizing from Mark.

If Jesus had actually existed, at least one of the approximately 30 local historians of the first century would have written about him. No historian of the first century wrote about him or his disciples.

Therefore Jesus didn't exist.

answer: We don't "deny" nor "reject" Jesus - HE failed to meet the requirements to be the Jewish Messiah.

Our hearts are too full to "accept Jesus" into our hearts - it is filled with G-d and ONLY G-d.

Your mythology has no part in Judaism, young one. There is nothing to be "saved" from and the myth built around Jesus PROVES that he was NOT the Jewish Messiah.

Reasons Jesus was NOT the Jewish Messiah:

Divine birth/divinity (the Jewish Messiah will NOT be divine. He will be human.) G-d cannot become human: Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 44:6, Hosea 11:9, Ezekiel 28:2, Numbers 23:19

Performing Miracles – the Jewish Messiah will NOT perform miracles but will accomplish them

Taking on the sins of others: no one can take on the sins of others: Deuteronomy 24:16, Exodus 32:30-35, Ezekiel 18:1-4, 20-24; 26-27

Breaking the Sabbath – the Jewish Messiah will be observant.

Sacrificed/Rising from the dead: G-d rejects human sacrifice and blood sacrifice is NOT an absolute requirement for the absolution of sin – Deuteronomy 12:30-31, Jeremiah 19:4-6, Psalm 106:37-38, Ezekiel 16:20, Leviticus 5:11-13, Jonah 3:10, Leviticus 17, Leviticus 5:11-13, Numbers 16:47, Numbers 31:50, Isaiah 6:6-7, Jeremiah 7:22-23, Psalm 51:16-17

Prophecies Unfilled – the Jewish Messiah will accomplish ALL the prophecies in one lifetime.

The Jewish Messiah cannot trace his lineage through Jehoiakim, Jeconiah, or Shealtiel, because this royal line was cursed (I Chronicles 3:15-17, Jeremiah 22:18, 30). But according to Matthew 1:11-12 and Luke 3:27, Jesus was a descendant of Shealtiel

Communion – the ‘last supper’ – No Jew would ever call upon followers and fellow Jews to even symbolically consume blood and flesh.

Jesus is worshiped – the eternal covenant between G-d and Jews is that Jews will worship G-d and only G-d and G-d does not become a man. Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9, 1 Samuel 15:29, Job 9:32-33, Ezekiel 28:9, Hosea 4:15, Malachi 3:6

"They" don't deny him which implies that they know he's the Messiah and are just denying it. This is totally not true. We do not get baptized and we have no need to be born again and you are being very rude. I'm not going to any stupid pits of hell - which is a terrible thing to say to someone.

We don't accept Jesus into our hearts or any other of our bodily organs.

Why would I as a Jew want to accept someone into my *heart as a savior who tortures those who disagree with him by sending to burn on hell

That does not sound like a loving compassionate god to me. It sounds more like an evil dictator
