Why should Jews believe that Jesus was in fact the Messiah, when his name has made the blood run of millions of Jews run for Milleniums?
Isn't simply saying that you did some stupid stuff the easy way out?

I'll answer the second question first.
Yes, if all you're doing is saying you're sorry, then yeah, that's the easy way out. But if you're sincere about believing that Jesus is the Lord and Savior... then you will be saved. "If you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord." And believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved!" - Romans 10:9 You see, acknowledging that there is a God isn't enough. Satan believes in God, so just believinging in God isn't going to save you. However, if you believe that Jesus is Lord, confess your sins, and ask Jesus to be your Messiah, then you will be saved. Yes, you could call that the 'easy way out', but if you mean it, it's not going to stay 'easy'. The life a Christian leads is filled with temptation, persecution, maybe facing death for the sake of being a Christian! You see, I was tempted not to answer this question. I have been persecuted - not chased all over town or anything, but when people tease, make fun, patronize, shove etc. me because I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. The reason it is 'easy' is because Jesus knows how downright lazy humans are. He wants this to be the easiest thing to do! That's why you don't have to do a bunch of stuff - as do the Muslims - to be saved. Do you understand that now? I know it's kindof hard to understand because, even if you are an adult, or if you are merely a teenager, it dumbfounds the mind to know that getting a one-way ticket to heaven is as easy as ABCD! (A- Admit you're wrong
B- Believe in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead
C- Confess your sins and that Jesus is Lord
D- Don't wait!)
Now, question one. Ok, the way you worded that made it a bit confusing for me, but I think that you didn't mean to put the word 'run' in there twice. So, perhaps it should look like
"Why should Jews believe that Jesus was in fact the Messiah, when His name made the blood of millions of Jews run for mileniums?"
If that's not what you meant, then I have no idea what you were trying to say.
But, I'm not sure what you meant by that statement. If you were saying that Jews were afraid of the Name of Jesus, I'm not sure why. If you were saying that Jews were angered by the Name of Jesus, I can understand why. The reason why I say that Jews might be angered at the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior is the Jewish religious leaders, the Pharisees, Sanhedrin, Sadducees etc. HATED Jesus. I believe the Jewish leaders knew who Jesus really was, but because they were a part of history in the making, and they were under the power of Satan, they caused a ruckus about Christ. This could by why millions of Jews rejected Christ. Or, they could have rejected Christ because of rumors. There was a serious rumor that Jesus didn't rise from the dead, that His body was stolen. I don't see how He could have been 'stolen', though. When Christ was buried, he was wrapped up in linen strips. If He were still alive (which He wasn't) then He would have suffocated to death. So, now He's good and dead. Outside of Jesus' tomb was a HUGE stone. I'm not talking a twenty-pound little thing, I'm talking about something that weighs two tons and takes twelve Roman soldiers to move. Because, that's how big it was! How could Jesus move it, especially from the inside? And do you think that eleven puny disciples, almost all of whom were fishermen, could move a two-ton boulder? I think not. Then we have the guards. The Roman soldiers. Pilate placed two dozen (twenty-four) fully trained Roman guards to keep watch over Jesus' tomb. If one of them fell asleep, and someone reported him being asleep, he faced death. No one was sleeping on the job. So, the Jews think that the eleven puny disciples stole Jesus' body. They overpowered twenty-four Roman guards, then moved a two-ton rock, carried Jesus' corpse somewhere, kept Jesus, but continued to walk around the city? Does that even make sense?! No! It doesn't.
I don't know what else to say. Continue to ask questions. I'm going to a Medieval Renaissance festival, it's already 8:05 AM, and I need to leave!! Sorry it's short. Like I said, my elbow is killing me... maybe I should go to the doctor...
Much Love In Christ,
