Since you have examined the Scriptures and solicited suggestions and corrections why do you do speak of eternal hellfire as a punishment for wrongdoers?
What does the “Ha” mean in Jehoshua Ha Mashiach?
The Jewish religion is not about the messiah. It is about Torah--period. The Torah is the logos. The universe was created so Israel could observe the Torah (it is not a temporary "schoolmaster" to prepare the way for the Messiah). And no, that doesn't mean G-d expects perfection, since the Torah includes rules for repentance (and the first sin was committed by the first-created "unfallen" man, not "fallen" man).
Revelation in Judaism is regressive, not progressive. It begins at the highest point (the Torah). The Prophets and Hagiographa are lower than the Torah, not higher. And the whole purpose of Messiah is to bring about a state where all the Torah/Noachide laws will be applicable and in force, not to abolish (or "fulfill") them.
Besides, I hate to break it to you, but chr*stianity has always taught that the kingship of J*sus is "spiritual" and allegorical and has been in force for two thousand years. The idea that the first advent was to pay the sin debt and the second to initiate a literal kingdom is a recent syncretistic departure.
And while we're at it, only certain forms of Protestantism teach that "salvation" comes about through the vicarious damnation of the divine scapegoat (substitutionary atonement). All the ancient liturgical churches (Catholic, Orthodox, etc.) teach that salvation is earned by observing the "new law." I'm sure the Catholic/Orthodox members of this forum will be happy to excoriate you for your heretical and syncretistic views.
Most Jews I met don’t like it when you proselytize to them. This kind of aggressive religious advertising is no more welcome than an atheist telling you how religion is a scam and how you are stupid to believe in it. You only get one set of relatives in your life, I wouldn’t antagonize them because of religion.

I also find in Isaiah 53:6 a blessed message: It begins with the word “all” and ends in the word “all.”
“All we like sheep have gone astray, every man has gone his own way, and He (God) has laid on Him (Jesus) the eniquities of us all.”
And in: “For He (God) hath made Him (Jesus) to be sin for us,who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
Wrong answer. Moshiach is NOT Hashem. Jews are right to flee this insidious addendum/doctrine.
I don’t think that Christians should be trying to convert people who don’t want to be Christians anymore than non-Christians should be trying to proseltyze Christians.
There are enough agonistics and fallen away Christians that Christians can target.
A better idea would be trying to convert Muslims - TO ANYTHING ELSE!!!

From the promised seed of the woman who would crush the head of the deceiver (the serpent) in Genesis 3:15, mankind was looking for the Saviour. Eve, remembering God's promise, named her first son, Cain, saying, 'I have gotten a man [with] God'... Obviously Eve was wrong about Cain -- but she knew there was going to be a seed of the woman (although possibly not her) that would defeat the curse brought by the deceiver'.
And mankind has looked for this promise.
In Genesis 22 we have the near reenactment of Calvary. In the land of Moriah (in the region of Jerusalem, and Calvary) Abraham faithfully obeyed God and brought his only begotten son to be sacrificed onto God. Isaac bore the wood on his back, and he and his father, went together to the place of sacrifice and Isaac obediently awaited his father to plunge the dagger into him (Flash forward 2000+ years: Phil 2:8c "...and He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross...") - But God stopped Abraham and pointed him to the substitute - the ram trapped in the thicket... But God The Father would not spare HIS only begotten Son. For our sake, unworthy worms that we are, God The Father would sacrifice His only Son to be our substitute...
And Moses, esteeming the reproach of Christ to be of greater riches than the treasures in Egypt (for he had respect for the recompense of the reward), speaks in Deuteronomy of the Prophet who would be of the seed of Israel who would speak the words of God...
And although you can see Christ in almost every chapter of Scripture, Psalms 2, 22, and 110 are favorites that point at the Christ - and the suffering and Risen Saviour.
And how do we answer the riddle in Proverbs 30?
Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?
There is no other answer: Jehovah - Jesus. Or as Jesus answers this riddle (and as a bonus, HE also throws in the answer of the meaning of brazen serpent which Moses held up to save the Hebrews in the wilderness) in the Gospel of John:
John 3:13-15 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
And the Book of Isaiah. Jeremiah and the Righteous Branch. Micah 5:2. Zechariah. And so on.
Mankind has been redeemed by the friend of sinners - Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Come and Believe.
Your endeavor is to praised - our prayers for you.
If you believe God is Jesus come in the flesh, how could you not witness to them???
If the Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, hou could you not tell them???
If they will burn in hell for eternity because you did not tell them, how could you not tell them???
He was born on the YHvH commanded Feast of Tabernacles. A clear reading of Luke 1, John 1 and Chronicles will demonstrate this fact. Yah'shua was not born on a Pagan feast of winter !

Hello Everyone.
This is the author of the “Calling All Christians: Will Finally Witness to Jewish Family After 9 years” vanity.
