avenir, everything that you say in Post #21 is part of a self-serving argument - made either by my distant cousin, the carpenter (or those who followed him and created a new religion), or by yourself. I simply do not - CAN not - believe that the person you revere as the Messiah is, in fact, the actual Messiah as foretold in the Hebrew Scriptures. Why? Because, very simply, believing Jews cannot accept the Christian Bible (the so-called “New Testament”) as being valid or true.
Again, WHY? Well, for one thing, there are numerous contradictions and inconsistencies between the Jewish Bible and the Christian Bible (which bases its very validity on the Jewish Bible - so guess which way logic would dictate that any contradictions get resolved?). Read and learn: https://jewsforjudaism.org/knowledge/articles/why-jews-cannot-accept-the-new-testament/
Further, as to your claims that the “Old Testament” foretells the coming of Jesus, here is an explanation as to why Jews DON’T see Jesus anywhere in their own scriptures: https://jewsforjudaism.org/knowledge/articles/why-dont-jews-see-jesus-in-the-scriptures/
Finally, as to why Jews do not (and never will) accept that Jesus is the Messiah foretold in our scriptures: https://jewsforjudaism.org/knowledge/articles/messiah-the-criteria/
I offer these explanations (incomplete as the authors admit that they are - meaning that there is MORE proof than they’re citing) ONLY for the purpose of showing you that things are not quite as theologically cut-and-dry as you think they are, that there are MANY reasons why Jews do not and CAN not accept your theology. However, as I mentioned in an earlier post, I (as a Jew) still view you as having a place in the World to Come (i.e. Heaven), so long as you abide by the 7 Noahide Laws. Though I disagree with you on fundamental matters of theology, I wish you well - but please study and learn more, it will help your soul.
Thank you, I wish you well too.
