Oh, the reason the Jews have not accepted Jesus as the Messiah for 2000 years is that he simply did not meet prophecy. EG MOST importantly:The Messiah is to be a warrior priest in the Davidic tradition,a political -religious leader,establishing a new Jewish kingdom on earth AND he is NOT to die. The fulfilled prophecy claimed by Christian apologists is utterly rejected to this day by Jewish scholars. Indeed, I've never actually seen any accurate fortune telling, precognition or prophecy of any kind made before the event.
You need to study the scriptures not just read them if you want to have a understanding of them.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
