Did you know the promise of redemption through Christ Jesus had been long awaited. The Old Testament is a shadow of the New Testament. What is a testament??
Testament:
1- a covenant, esp. between God and humans.
2-a will, esp. one that relates to the disposition of ones personal property.
The Old Testament is a shadow of The New Testament. Both represent the covenant between God and man. The New Testament is the will of the Lord. Once Christ was sacrificed, resurrected and ascended into heaven those who followed Him and accepted Him as savior receive the inheritance.
The Abrahamic covenant is a promise God made Abraham. Abraham was promised an inheritance to his descendants.
1 His descendants would number like the grains of sand(Israel). His descendants from Ishmael represents the grains of sand. Those descendants are Israel and the promised land is their inheritance. It is a worldly inheritance because these people are still bound in sin. Ishmael was born of Hagar Abraham and Sara's servant. Ishmael's descendants are in bondage just like his mother.
2 Abra hams descendants would number as the stars in the sky.
These descendants are from Issac, born to he and his wife Sara. They are not in bondage and the inheritance is different it is not earthly but heavenly. This is the lineage that Christ is born in.
I need to apologize for what??

Hmmm - like "I apologize for accepting the Jewish Messiah that was promised throughout the centuries"? or "I apologize for accepting the One who is the fulfillment of the law"? and "I apologize for not following the Talmud, which explains the Torah in such a complicated way that you would no longer recognize the Torah"? I don't know if one of those apologies would do, but I would't see my way to making any one of those. I guess I could apologize for not being consistent enough in my Christianity. That would be real and sincere. The so called "christian church" could apologize for the way they treated Jews over the centuries, thus denying Christ themselves by the way they behaved. As part of that "christian" culture and join in what should be a sincere collective apology. But I cannot apologize for believing what I believe. God bless! And may you come to know the Messiah if you don't know Him already!

Plenty serious! I imagine the Vatican has to let go of the keys to the deepest vaults of their underground Archives where all the "hidden" treasures of knowledge and the tons of original Scriptures and scrolls have been cached for millennia... for ALL THE WORLD to see.
Talk about Mankind having a real paradigm shift: It WILL be THEIR End Times... hehe. But I might add: Don't hold your breath on that one!
Peace be with you.

I would say Judaism owes an apology to Abraham, and Joshua and Moses and to all the prophets because they believed God and Judaism still is not doing what God wants them to do.

Well, Christianity is linked to Judaism and it owes no apology. Why should Christ apologize for "perverting" the Jewish faith? If He were to apologize, then His efforts to save mankind would've been in vain.
Besides, Christ was and still is Jewish.

A pretty serious apology, I think. Massive. Huge. And for the whole "Passion Plays" thing too, while we're at it.

True Christianity owes no one an apology, for their theolgy.

this is opinion and not fact by the way, the Christian faith sprang from Judaism in as much as Christ was Judean and as He is the Christ(anointed one of God) and the fact that the Jews betrayed and rejected Him, then it follows that Christianity is the true faith and follows the Masters voice and not the Jewish lies.
Christianity owes no such apology to those who put to death the Son of God.

No apology is called for. Your accusation is false. "Christianity" and "Messianic Judaism" are the same thing.
