The Torah explains who the Messiah is and what he would teach. The NT is the story of his Apostles as they interacted with him and what they were told to tell of him. The golden tablets on American soil that disappeared.....ppppppppppplllllllll. That is religious dogma. It adds to the word and detracts by doing so. Some of the Catholic cathecism does so also. That is one reason so many reject religion, but worship God and believe in the sacrifice of Jesus.

“The Torah explains who the Messiah is and what he would teach.”

I think that was part of his point. The problem is in you previous post you said “Anyone that worships the God of the Bible, the Lord of Hosts, the Creator of the Universe, and accepts Yeshua as the Messiah, the begotten Son of God, is a Christian.” The problem is the Mormons would say they do, and from you’re original post I would have guessed you agreed with them.

He was pointing out that you need to be a bit more discerning than that. While your statement is true, it doesn’t help clarify the answer to the main question of this thread because many groups will redifine ther terms.

The point of his post is that their Jesus (or Yeshua, if you prefer) is not the same Jesus of the New Testament. Sometimes the details matter.
