...it would only seem logical and fair that before Jews try to critique Christianity, they read and study the New Testament.

I'm sorry, but this is not necessary at all.

If I didn't know better...I'd suspect people who cannot read Christian scripture--even to debate it-- were merely afraid to read what Jewish eye-witnesses to Jesus' resurrection wrote in the New Testament--as it might shake their self-righteous delusions. Go ahead, rely on your own law-keeping, and see where it will get you.

"The Holy Spirit spoke the truth to your forefathers when he said through Isaiah the prophet:
26" 'Go to this people and say,
"You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving."
27For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'

28"Therefore I want you to know that God's salvation has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will listen!"
(New Covenant book of Acts 28:25-28)

You were saying to Zionist Conspirator -- "If I didn't know better...I'd suspect people who cannot read Christian scripture--even to debate it-- were merely afraid to read what Jewish eye-witnesses to Jesus' resurrection wrote in the New Testament--as it might shake their self-righteous delusions. Go ahead, rely on your own law-keeping, and see where it will get you."

Well, what I posted in Post #123 pretty much says where he's coming from. The Apostle Paul makes that clear (in Romans 11:11-36).

BUT, what we are seeing as a "new movement" (harking back to the days of the Jerusalem Church) -- is the Jewish Messianic Movement (coming in only the last 30 years or so), proclaiming the Messiah of the Jewish Apostles. This portends the *soon* coming days of verse 15 in Romans 11. There are not only many in the United States, but also many in Israel.

The word of the coming of the Messiah is getting out..., from the Jews themselves.

As Paul says, can this mean anything less than "life from the dead" (pointing to that time which is soon to arrive).
