But as a Jew you do read Isaiah ???

I am not Jewish.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: A virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14

Chr*stians read and assume the truth of the "new testament" from the outset. Therefore they accept its interpretations of "old testament" verses. Therefore when you read Isaiah 7:14 you see J*sus.

If one does not read the Hebrew Bible with this a priori assumption, the idea that these verses refer to J*sus is simply an unwarranted assumption.

As a chr*stian do you ever read the Torah?

Did you know that at the time of Jesus's birth people in Israel were actively looking for the birth of the Messiah based on OT prophecies about the time of his birth?
