You said: My only desire is that the Old Testament should mirror the text used by Jews.

I agree. Even more so I desire that the Old Testament be that which Jesus Christ used, since there were differences between the books used by Greek speaking Jews and those used by Aramaic speaking Jews. It is a fact that Jesus quoted extensively from books of the Old Testament that have been rejected by protestants but that have always been part of the “Catholic” Bible. I’ll stick with Jesus.

Would you please reference a few, say 5 or so, of these quotes? Thanks.

Yep...Just like the fact that Cinderella's coach turned into a pumpkin at midnight...

And you believe that by reading these books, your relationship with Jews will become more intimate?
Do you believe that the New Testament in general and the Gospels in particular lack an insight into the life, character, and person of Jesus that can be gained by a study of these books?
