That's not true at all.
Jesus rejected the judging of others and the stoning to death of sinners. That's a direct refutation of the teachings of the Torah that had God instructing people to judge others and stone sinners to death.
Jesus rejected the seeking of revenge and taught people to forgive and turn the other cheek instead. That's a direct refutation of the teachings of the Torah that had God teaching people that seeking revenge is ok as in an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
It's crystal clear that Jesus had nothing to do with the ficticious God of Abraham.
Jesus also could not have been the messiah of the Torah because the Torah prophecy clearly states that the promised messiah would be handed the throne of King David by God himself.
Jesus was never made the king of the Jews. So the rumors that he was the messiah are clearly false even in accordance with these very fables.
The Jews recognized that obvious fact immediately and they never fell for the Christian lies from day one.
You left some out, Jesus said that He did not come to destroy the law, but to fulfill the law. Jesus used the Psalms and many other OT passages to show the Jewish people He was the One testified about by the prophets and even King David himself. Even His murder by His enemies was described in the OT. Also the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews was prophesied in the OT.
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.
