Why Judaism Rejects Christianity II

Why Judaism reject Christianity II
Last time I started to write about why we in Judaism reject the Christian view of the Messiah. I wanted to continue to write a little more about this topic showing that from within their own writings we can see that J is not the Messiah.
Why have there been more conversions to Christianity
In the past number of years there have been more and more converts to Christianity more than 1900 years of exile. This is due largely to the lack of Jewish education among the youth and the friendly tactics used my missionaries. If any one knows anyone who is having a questions about Christianity and is interested in it you will be doing them the biggest favor and Mitzvah (positive precept which we are commanded by the Torah) to introduce them to some type of educational material. Anyone whom approaches this topic with straight clear thinking will see the fallacies within Christian thought in a very short time. I want to present a little more information for those still interested.
A Refutation from within
The Christians accept our Bible which is why they try to bring proofs from it. It also causes them problem since we see so many contradictions based on it. I want to show one of many examples of where from both our Bible and from within their own writings Two points to understand the following refutations. Everyone agrees that the Messiah has to come from David the king through his son Solomon. The genealogy in Judaism always goes after the father. In our Bible in the book of Jeremiah chapter 22 verse 24 it states that there was a curse put on Yehoyakum. Because of this the Messiah can not come through him even though he is a descendent from Solomon. In the Christian bible in the book of Mathew chapter one it lists the genealogy of J to his father Joseph. There it list him as having coming from Yehoyakum. So this is a big problem for them on two accounts. The first blunder with this is what we just explained above. From Yehoyokum can not come the Messiah.
How can J have a genealogy after a father he never had?
Another problem is that J had no father according to the Christians. If they believe in the made up idea of a virgin birth so why are they limiting his genealogy after a father he never had? Likewise if he had no father he for sure is not a descendent of David.
