well-what do u have to gain in the Messiah-what does sin have to offer you more than the joy of salvation and heaven forever-with Jesus your best friend-in his unconditional love? Isaiah 6verse 9 the prince of peace for our heart today and for ruling when he returns as promised- read John 3 Jesus saith, except ye repent and be born again you cannot see the kingdom of heaven.
its a choice what is your answer

Serving my Lord and savior Jesus gives me all the satisfaction I will ever need in this life, until He takes me home with Him. Praise the Lord!!!

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.)

Grace abounds. Sin brings the sinner satisfaction. Salvation satisfies the saint.
Hey, it's all where the heart is, if the heart is set on heavenly things, only holy things can satisfy. If the heart is set on earthly things, sin justifies the means to the end.
To the saint, dishonesty corrupts, theft is unjustifiable and selfishness destroys. To the sinner, dishonesty is necessary, theft brings fairness and selfishness is everywhere.
Jesus said you cannot have two masters, you will love the one and despise the other.

Neither. Sin is an outdated concept that I really don't pay much attention to. I'd rather think for myself than accept some spoon-fed ideology. Salvation is an empty promise of rewards after death.

accept Jesus or go to hell is extortion. Most choices have three options not two. It takes a person with brains to figure that out. I guess most sheep are lacking, hence they are called sheep. BTW some people eat sheep especially in Greece one of the areas Christianity became popular. Its time for the slaughterhouse,sheep.

Jesus claimed to be saving us from sin as in original sin. Jewish beliefs deny the existance of original sin, so why'd you switch? Your original beliefs dictated that you didn't need saving.

Salvation last for a lifetime,and sin only last for a moment,then comes the judgment.

I'd lke salvation because at least it will feel better than sinning.

That there is no sin or salvation, because there is no G-d.
Deal with it.
