"do jews recognise jesus christ as a prophet"
No, adherents of Judaism do not recognize Jesus of Nazareth as a prophet, the Messiah, or divine.
The primary theological and historical reasons for this rejection include:
End of Prophecy: Traditional Jewish belief holds that the era of prophecy ended with the prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi, centuries before Jesus was born. Consequently, he is not viewed as a divinely inspired prophet in Judaism.
Unfulfilled Messianic Criteria: Judaism defines the Messiah as a human leader who will rebuild the Third Temple, gather all Jews to Israel, and usher in an era of universal peace. Since Jesus did not accomplish these specific tasks, he is not considered the Messiah.
Theological Incompatibility: The Christian concepts of Jesus as the "Son of God," part of a Trinity, or a divine intermediary are viewed as incompatible with the absolute monotheism central to Judaism, which strictly forbids idolatry or worshipping a human being.
Contradiction of Torah: Jewish law requires that a true prophet must not advocate for changes to the Torah or its commandments. Because Jesus’ teachings and the subsequent Christian tradition altered or abolished many Jewish laws, he is disqualified from the status of a prophet under Jewish criteria.
While most Jewish denominations reject his prophetic status, modern Jewish perspectives on his historical character vary, with some viewing him as a wise rabbi or ethical teacher, while others view him as a heretic. However, there is no mainstream Jewish denomination that accepts him as a prophet of God.
