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.)

Answer 3

There are Jews who believe that Jesus was the Messiah foretold in the Old Testament. They are called Messianic Jews or Jews for Jesus. They hold to many of the traditional Jewish beliefs, but with the twist of a very Hebrew view of Christ.

Answer 4

ok I follow the torah follow all the feast does that make me a Jew If following the laws of Elohim makes me a Jew then I'm proud to be a Jew. I also believe in the Messiah does that make me a Christian. absolutely not I do not call him Jesus Christ so I can't be a christian (follower of Christ) Another thing I don't believe in those pagan holidays that most Christians do like Easter and Christmas. The messiahs true name is Yahushua So don't put me in that catagory of being Jewish with a sprinkle of Christianity. Want to visit the site where I worship www.Familyofmessiah.net

Answer 5

It is by no means definite that Isaiah was referring to Jesus when he made that saying. Jewish scholars have another interpretation to that and many others of the alleged "Messianic oracles" of the Tanakh. To that, all Christians can say is that the Jewish people are so spiritually blind that they can't understand their own Scriptures! But a bunch of pagan Gentiles could??

It's sad that you got sucked into the bogus Gentile misinterpretation of the Jewish scriptures.

Answer 6

Yes. Jesus was both both a Jew and the anointeed one(Messiah) only Christians see him as Son of God(pre-existing with God) We can not prove he pre-existed but by faith so why can't a Jew believe he replaced the lamb for atonement and remain both a Jew and a Christian? Christians argue daily over how he pre-existed with God. Was he like a hand to God? Or A separate equal divinity? Was he created or did he always exist the same as God did? What? Who knows? Just believe that he is.

Answer 7

Neither smart, nor stupid. It is simply impossible.

Judaism rejects Jesus as the Messiah, so you can be either Jewish or Christian, never the both of them at the same time.

Answer 8

Yeah, there are a lot of Jewish people who marries outside of their race-either a Catholic, a Protestant, a Baptist, whatever-and they have children and they celebrate BOTH holidays to represent that both religions can live together. It is up to that child when they become older what they want to do. Either be happy and celebrate both since they are the product of both heritage or stay more closely with one then with the other.

Answer 9

You do not want to hear from me again. Messianic Jews have a very warped opinion of who they are. They are CHRISTIANS-not Jews.

And, I do not appreciate your comment on Islam. Their viewpoint of Jesus is much more acceptable than Christianity's is.

So, glad you found your ''salvation''. Now, please leave Jews and Muslims alone.

Answer 10

Be gentle with your brother Jews. They have been hurt greviously in the name of Jesus Christ. We have a lot of healing of hurts to accomplish to help heal them and make the way clear for them to accept Messiah

Answer 11

There are Jews who are like that. They are called Messianic Jews or "Jews for Jesus." Do a google search and you can find endless websites about them.
