This was the jews holy book for about 1000 years before jesus came along and the christians tried to tell the jews what the book actually said. There was a reason almost all jews laughed at and completely rejected the notion of jesus being the messiah. The jews believed jesus was the messiah like christians believe david koresh was the second coming.

Hate to break it to you but there is no prophesy to do with jesus anywhere in the OT, what you will provide will be square pegs in round holes.

I debate almost weekly with Jehovah's Witnesses who are bound to spread their faith.I,being Jewish,adore when they quote OT to me.Their faces, when I expand on what they say, are priceless!

There's a mystery. When I was in the Navy I served with a Jewish man who planned to go to Rabbinical school when he finished his service. He found most Christian interpretation of the Old Testament ludicrous. Skip all the arguments about the prophesies of Christ. The way he explained it no serious Jewish group has believed in a literal creation for centuries. For basing their faiths on the same documentation the religions have as much in common as vinegar and oil, they are both liquid which refers to the fact that they are religions and will mold themselves to the society that embraces them but otherwise they have nothing in common.

Many a jew has given the same to the old testament . I find it impossible not to laugh at all three of the main theist religions . Go a little futrther back to 2300 BC Egypt where the jews adopted most of their ideas before redesigning them .Eventually all of mankind will outgrow the superstitious foundations of our ideological morality. I only wish I were born a couple of hundred years in the future at least.

Well said.
When you tell Christians about all the violence in the Old Testament they always respond with "thank Jesus we didnt live back then....." but nowadays violence is 10 times more than back then.
Even the 2 world wars were primarily between Christians and amounted to more than any 10 battles in the Old Testament !!
What are they talking about ?

as a results of fact they share an identical foundation of perception (the Tanach / old testomony), the two Christianity and Judaism won't be able to be genuine on an identical time. the two G-d could have a son, or he can no longer. the two Jesus replaced into the messiah, or he wasn't. the two Hell exists, or it does not. that is one or the different. i believe the previous answerer who wrote that maximum non secular Christians do no longer prefer Jews to "coach" something, as a results of fact they're shield of their ideals adequate to declare "we are impressive, the Jews are incorrect." yet Christians who see that there are important contradictions between the Jewish and Christian scriptures and are not shield of their faith, prefer Jews to offer up their ideals to confirm that theirs to stay employer. as a results of fact that the two faiths basically won't be able to be genuine, it is not adequate to leave it at they pronounced / we pronounced. they like the different fact to be refuted. after all, if there is not any Hell, why might anybody would desire to be stored? that is an somewhat severe question. Jews, on the different hand, have a definite volume of non secular secure practices, as their faith got here first and has no longer replaced, and its practices are basically meant to be held by using Jews. it is not appropriate to Jews if human beings of different faiths have distinctive ideals - even contradictory ones to Judaism - as a results of fact they are no longer Jews, and the Torah perception equipment isn't binding on them in any case.

Proof that Christians DON'T know the Tanakh better:
http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/
Proof that Jesus failed the messianic prophecies, and thus was a Fraud.
But of course Christians aren't interested in the truth. They believe what they believe, and since they have no legitimacy without the OT, they simply twist it to fit their needs.

For the same reason that atheists and Muslims think they know more then Christians about the Bible.

The Scriptures clearly describes the manner of the Messiah's birth, His life and the exact way He would die. You would have to be absolutely bamboozled to buy that other nonsense. Somebody here is majoring in minors if you ask me.
