The Jews have many written records speaking of Jesus. They even admit that he performed miracles, but that is was a magician. There is also Roman documentation of one Jesus being crucified under Pontius Pilate. Muslims also hold that he existed. Jesus was a real person. It is up to you to decide whether or not he was the Messiah.

They didn't hate him. They just didn't accept him as thier Messiah...
Mary Magdeline, Mother Mary, Joseph, and all the Apostles were Jewish, as was Jesus himself.
I doubt they hated him....he didn't invent Christianity....he never gave it a name...it came about after he died.
Before Jesus was born, the Hebrews believed Jesus to be the reincarnated form of David (You know, the guy with the sling shot). They thought Jesus would be the guy who would help them fight their enemies and become their king and saviour. However, Jesus spoke of different things, and, although some jews were frightened and of a different belief, others thought it was marvelous and thus, came Christianity.

Prove it or at least offer some type of substantiation. Yeah, I use the Bible but what do you use?
