its a real good thing i hope you did it to if your a Jew come to our messiah and he will set you free to be a real Jew-who believes Moses and Isaiah too!
Moses said thus saith the Lord "Without the shedding of blood there is no atonement for sins." Leviticus 17 vs 11
Isaiah showed how Jesus would fulfill the first part of the 2 commings of Messiah-"He will be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and lay down his life to make an atonement for sins." "He will be despised and rejected" Isaiah 52vs 13-53 vs 12

David,
When I see your "questions" I wonder why lies, arrogance, deception, and cowardly propagandists exist.
=======================
David,
You are a Christian. Stop this evil and deceptive form of missionizing. It degrades Christianity.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess it wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity. (And you clearly do not understand hebrew.)

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.
Love and blessings

I am sorry I agree. I see one post doesn't but I find myself attracted to the torah and Jewish law while I believe in Jesus.
Mind you christans you too have the old testament. You seem to forget it.
I never understood why christians don't practice the law. Sin on friday repent on sunday bahahha
I think the biggest problem was the loss of the law in Christian belief. Remember if you know it to be true in your heart you don't need to fall under some sect or name. There is no reason I can't practice judaism. In the torah/OT it doesn't say anything on who or who isn't the messiah. The majority of Jews disagree he isn't but not all Jews.

You are not a Jew, you are a Christian! Jews for Jesus are not real Jews! As for coming to our messiah, if you knew anything, you'd know that the Jews are waiting for their messiah! If you were a learned man you'd know this. In the meantime, stop spamming the board with this crap because that's not what it's for.

Come on, you mean you left Judaism and became a Christian??? WHY??? Jesus (Yoshua bar Yosef) was Jewish just like you, he didn't want to start any religion. That was Paul's idea. You'll always be a Jew. Now be a nice boy and go back to the faith of your forefathers. Ask your Rabbi.
Shalom and Shavua Tov.

Jesus had already come 2006 years ago, and he suffered even for those who do not believe in him and those who think they hate him
Jesus loves everyone and he never wishes for one sinner to die without repentence, he even loves those who hate and insult him and his children the christians he's the father who sees his children growing up infront of his eyes and take care of them from above and cannot bear seeing your tears they are soo much for Him 'song of the songs' and he loved the jews and came to tell them to repenet but all us humans do not accept the Word of God easily because we are stubborn but he is soo patient so loving so merciful so caring he knows EVERY bit in you "all your hairs are counted before him"
and his soo unconditional love makes him like the father who's son if did a mistake never get angry with him because HE LOVES him more than he can ever imagine
Jesus suffered more than ANY human can imagine or bear and with a willing, loving heart he wants you and God be with you and fills your heart with his indescribable joy and peace

Man, if you're going to be a Christian, then call yourself one. If you're going to be Jewish, then do that. The pretense of "Jews for Jesus" or whatever the popular guise is today, is sickening. They're Christians. Period. End of story.
