Isaiah promised the Messiah would be God -would be born of a virgin and would be rejected by our Jewish people and would die for all our sins-be our atonement-Isaiah 7 vs 14, 9vs6 and 52 vs 13-53vs12
"He will be exaulted, but first marred more than any man-"-did u see the movie the Passion of the Messiah (Christ)-that verse goes on to say-"He will be despised, and rejected, and lay down his life for our sins.
who do u have for your atonement-have u let Him into yoru heart yet???/

Why Jews Are Better Off in the Catholic Church Than in the Jews for Jesus
http://www.catholic.net/RCC/Periodicals/Faith/2000-12/barrack.html
Many Messianic Jews imagine that Jews for Jesus, a Protestant evangelical denomination, is the place Christianity has reserved for them. The movement creates warm Judaic feelings. However, we will be saved only if we do what Jesus said is necessary to be saved. The problem arises when we start asking hard questions about the truth.
As a Jew, you should know something about the Toda Sacrifice (that your evangelical friends will deny)

I congratulate you with the discoveries you have made thus far on your journey with God.

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.)

My heart leaps with joy. I have Jewish relatives who needs to know who Messiah is. Afraid of being ostracized, my nephew who received a Jews for Jesus book at his Bar-mitzvah, started questioning who Jesus is? Of course family members were outraged. Even though we have freedom in the US to choose our religious beliefs, family member do react differently when walking away from their parents faith.
I have a daughter who is a prodigal, and I have to let her find her own way. I can't force my beliefs on her or won't be real.
God Bless You
***To Kepha31`**** Why so threatend by the Protesant Group Jews for Jesus? Is their a difference who the Catholic say who Messiah is vs. Protesants? Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah. Who do you say Jesus is?
Jesus is the bread of life and he sacrificed his life for all.

The Father, Son and Holy Spirit is like the soul, the body and the works in a single person.
The Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ is Jehovah God in a Divine Human body.
