Is He a prophet? Is He Elijah? Is He a nice, moral man with a few good things to teach?

Shalom, good Hebrew. Who is Jesus?
Judaism teaches that it is heretical for any man to claim to be God, part of God, or the literal son of God. The Jerusalem Talmud (Ta'anit 2:1) states explicitly: "if a man claims to be God, he is a liar."
And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” (Mark 8:29)
The exclusivity of Christianity as the sole way to salvation is an eternal truth.
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6)
Jesus is the Messiah, the promised One, the savior of all humankind.
And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 16:17)
Anyone who rejects Jesus as Messiah...King...Lord...Savior...Forgiver of sins, will not go to heaven. They remain in their sinful flesh, and will be damned.
I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. (1 Corinthians 15:50)
Between the sinful, perishable flesh, and the sinless imperishable kingdom which the gates of hell shall not prevail against, is a great gulf fixed--
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ (Luke 16:26)
Except that while they are still living, you may cross from perishable to imperishable by and through Jesus, by confessing Who He Is.
Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
