since observant Jews don't claim to be the Messiah.

If you claim to be Jewish Messiah (I came for the lost sheep of the house of Israel) you're an observant Jew. You just won't cede any point. No matter how its spelled out for you.

He either was what he claimed to be or a liar. Only if you believe He was who He claimed to be can you say you think He was an "observant Jew" (and in that case you are forced to re-re-re-re-re-convert.

Sorry. I don't need your permission to comment on what I think things are meant when written (inspired or not).

No, I've ceeded THAT point (in fact I MADE that point)... "If you claim to be Jewish Messiah you're an observant Jew..." (IF, and ONLY if you ARE the Messiah).

You see my point? Only someone who believes He was truthful can claim He was "observant". if He was lying about being the Messiah then He was hardly "observant" (blasphemy not falling well within the bounds of "observant Judaism").

Are you saying you belive He was telling the truth about being the Messiah?
