Typology as an intellectual method of studying written and redacted oral Jewish law. Jesus, who was raised in a kosher home, lived and died a Jew and had no intention of starting a new religion, learned and transmitted what was taught to him in the approach of his Jewish teachers.
Secular explication of secular literary texts as an approach to appreciation of the written word is an offshoot of biblical explication. None of this mixing and matching of words, moreover from translations of translations, is proof positive that God begat a Jewish man.
I respect your strong belief. Having grown up in an area with a very large and strong Catholic population, I deeply mourn the weakening of attendance and belief in the Catholic Church in America as evidenced by the wholesale closure of parishes and Catholic parochial schools. This phenomenon is weakening the fabric of society. Please extend the same feeling for your Jewish brethren as they, too, are accosted by the onslaught of secularists and religious fanatics who hate anyone who does not believe as they do.
I disagree with you.
Matthew 16:18 And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Please do not take my posts here as any sign of disrespect. Rather, it is entirely the opposite. I wish that all of God's children could show the tenacity of the Jewish people in holding on to their ways. We see the revelations of God from a different perspective... but I respect the Jewish identity and will fight to keep you from a recurrence of the harms your people have suffered in history.
