as a Jew I read the prophecies that pointed right to Jesus then I had to believe
example 700 bce and further proof that Jesus is the Messiah or my Jewish people who reject the Messiah would have changed it not to point directly to the promised comming of Jesus to forgive our sins and offer to become our personal friend
Isaiah 52:13-53:12 "He will be exaulted. First he will be marred more than any man (did you see the brutality in the movie "The Passion of Christ/means the anointed one =the Messiah--Christian means a follower of the Messiah-all the first believers were Jewish too and then spread it to all peoples!
Isaiah 53 goes on "He will be despised and rejected of man. He will lay down his life to make atonement for sins. He will see his seed and prosper."
I too thought others wierd that said they knew Jesus personally and had asked him into their heart to forgive and deliver from sin. Now He is my best friend too-once just my cuss word.
John 3 repent&be saved

because he is dead...and has been for a long time.
Do you really think that "The Passion of The Christ" accurately portrays the death of Jesus??? They used BUCKETS of blood in that movie, more than 5 times as much is actually within the human body. Secondly, he was not marred more than any other man, many people have led more difficult lives and suffered MUCH worse fates than Jesus did. You are not talking about prophecy, you are bending something to fit history.
