To: Read Write Repeat

“And Jews don’t read the KJV Old Testament. It’s not the Tanakh. That’s the point!”

Jews used to:

And some Jews still do:

Apparently you don’t know as much as you might believe.

And it doesn’t matter what Jews read. The Messiah has come and they reject Him.

“If you want to know the truth, you read the Tanakh in Hebrew.”

No. The “Tanakh” is really a modern thing - even the acronym is only a relatively recent invention. Those who want to know the truth read the Masoretic text, the Septuagint for comparison (since early Christians used it) and the Dead Sea scrolls too. In other words, they use all the gifts offered to them by God.

“Everything else is false.”

The Dead Sea scrolls are not false. Again, you apparently don;t know as much as you might believe.

The standard Rabbinic TaNa"KH is the Masoretic text.

Of course the most authentic and authoritative text of the Torah is found in the hand-written kosher Torah scrolls found in every Orthodox synagogue . . . hand-written according to the laws delivered from Moses who heard them from G-d. You have heard of "sacred tradition," have you not? I knew you have! Of course, these hand-written scrolls contain only consonants.

The Dead Sea Scrolls are of interest to higher critical scholars with higher critical assumptions (that includes Catholics). They were produced by a sect, the Essenes. You know what a "sect" is, right? It's not just people who think the Tower of Babel actually existed!

???

The Messiah has come and they reject Him.

Many Christians have this backwards, in majority part to stigmatize.

It isn't rejection, Jews don't accept Jesus. He never met Moshiach criteria, there aren't Moshiach 'do overs', etc.
