To: Tzfat; Dr. Brian Kopp
You may adhere to whatever delusions strike your fancy but neither I nor any Catholic is likely to regard you as an authority on Catholicism, Christianity or Jesus Christ based upon the record on this thread. If you don't care for Catholicism, we shall try to live with that (and we shall succeed) but we won't change a single doctrine just because you are wedded to erroneous views.

If you believe the "Greek Scriptures," then perforce you believe in the Resurrection. That would be an eccentric belief for one who is Jewish just as eccentric as alleging that there is no distinction between the Jerusalem Canon and the Alexandrian Canon (both Old Testament) and all that came later to be recognized as Scripture (in the 4th Century or so by the Roman Catholic Church) which is the New Testament. You have a remarkable point of view in which Christianity and Catholicism seem to you to have been invented just to aggravate Jews as a service to Supercessionism or Replacement Theology or whatever.

I may be wrong but my instincts suggest to me that you may not be Jewish as such but rather one belonging to some group with which I lack familiarity. I have never come across your mix of beliefs before. It is interesting that you find all 66 books to be a single unified message. That would seem quite possible for a Christian of some sort or most sorts but not for believers in the Jewish Faith. For one obvious example, a belief in one Person as G-d (OT) vs. a belief in three persons in one G-d as Christians must believe. To a Christian, that is evidence of further revelation by G-d but to a Jew it would likely seem a monstrous heresy. Maybe that's just my view.

I have not reviewed your posting history as has Dr. Brian Kopp but perhaps I should since I find him among the most reliable posters here, a lot more scholarly and a bit less colorful than I but verrrrry reliable.

I am not Jewish. I am a ardent student of the Word, particularly in original languages. I have studied Christian and Jewish theology for 35 years. The comments on this thread are to be expected, and evidence of why the thread topic is still relevant.
