why we dont enjoy the bible as a love letter to our hearts is because till we let Jesus the Messiah into our heart-its not personal to us.
the reason is it takes the Spirit of God to know the Spirit of God in the bible=
"The natural person cannot understand the things of the Spirit of God, for they are not spiritual discerned, neither can they know it." Ist Corinthians 2
are you ready for the new birth as told to the Rabbi in John chapter 3-"Except ye repent, and be born again ye cannot see the kingdom of heaven.
as a Jew its a day to fast-and knowing Messiah Jesus and having atonement for my sins-its the most wonderful day as my people go to search for other ways to get sins forgiveness rejecting Moses and the blood atonement fulfilled in Jesus.
The life of the flesh is in the blood and ive given it to make atonement for your souls. Leviticus 17vs11
Abraham thought he had to sacrifice his son-but God said=I will provide myself a sacrifice-and he surely did-read?

There is a scripture, I think it's in Joshua and it says to have good success be in the word day and night. That's my ideal. You ask such nice questions, really.

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.)

When the Messiah comes there will be no doubt or debate about.
It will be as obvious as the sun rising in the sky.
By the way -- observant Jews are busy with prayers of atonement tonight -- they're NOT on Yahoo! Answers.

Very encouraging! Thank you.
I like to read at work when I get breaks and stuff. I usually spend one day on one chapter and just read it over and over again. I usually take notes as well. It's a living word. Things happen. God reveals through His word. It is very wonderful. I would like to get into your habit of reading in the morning, though. Becuz I tend to not read it on the weekends. If I made it a habit in the morning, that wouldn't be a problem.
Jesus said that many will be judged that day and think that they know the savior, but will be cast away because they didn't truly know Him (Matt 7). How do you get to know him? ...
READ HIS WORD!!!

I like to read at various times. I like to read when I get up while having breakfast, when I have lunch, any spare time that I am not here trying to give reasonable answers to those who question Christianity. Some people or groups of people have given the Christian faith a bad reputation and I like to disprove the notion that we are all the same. Call me the square peg that will not fit into the round hole.
