Still, if Judaism is the BEST way to God (of many) why not share that? To not do so, if you really think Judaism is best, seems not loving.

You just don't get it. See Sabramerican's posts, above.

So, ALL the below don't apply to Yeshua and are ripped completely out of context?

Yes. Some of the items you list do apply to the messiah; most do not. Jesus was not the messiah because he didn't fulfil the messianic prophecies. There are four main ones, and several lesser ones. The big four are: world peace, universal knowledge of God, return of all the Jews to Israel, rebuilding of the temple.

Now, you are free to believe as you wish. If you follow the tenets of Christianity, then you are a righteous person. I have no problem with you worshipping as you choose. I feel no need to 'convert' you to my way of thinking. I just wish Christians would reciprocate.

The statistical odds of any one person even fulfilling a handful of varied predictions listed from the Hebrew scriptures must be astronomically high. From your easy dismissal of the evidence, I suspect you really haven't examined it. Sorry, that's just how it sounds.

Equal or greater to the possibility that Christians have read INTO Hebrew scriptures predictions that Jesus specifically fulfilled, is that Jewish scholars for centuries have read OUT OF their own scriptures those very same predictions--rationalizing away that Messiah may have been crucified.

Followers of Yeshua have always maintained your 4 major prophesies would indeed be fulfilled in the future by Christ, and that He proved what He claimed by physically rising up from the dead.
