"Have you read them in Hebrew sweetheart?"

Yes I have darling, and I've read them in Greek, also. More than enough to understand that you can't respond to the points I raise so you resort to ad-hominem attack. People have always found the Gospel offensive and insulting. Certainly many of the Jews who listened to Christ did, that's why they tried to kill him virtually every time he preached. But he continued to preach the Good News, even with his last breath, and commanded his followers to do so also. There will always be a remnant of Jews predestined for salvation and they will respond to the Gospel. The Messianic Jewish community is a testament to that.

Greek? How would that help you understand the Torah in it’s native verse of Aramaic, or Hebrew?

Christ practiced Judaism during a time when Jews were under strife, and broke up into denominations of practice - that feuded. Christ wasn’t “preaching Christianity”. That didn’t come until his death. Learn history.

So calling you sweetheart is an ad-hominem attack but your posts have not been. Sorry don’t buy it. I don’t believe you have a working knowledge of Hebrew because you would not have this lack of understanding the Bible if you did.

I do not find the Gospels offensive. No one on this thread has said that. That was a silly thing to throw in.

Actually there has been response to every one of your “points”.

I have spent much time and energy over the years convincing fellow Jews that religious Christians are dear firm friends of the Jewish people and of Israel. Then someone like you comes along, and the old medieval mentality comes out again. You hurt the both the Christian and conservative causes.

It’s actually funny that people defending Jews for Jesus types would chastise Jews for not engaging in animal sacrifices like the Golden Calf.

If you’re really curious why Jews no longer sacrifice animals: http://www.jewfaq.org/qorbanot.htm

or these Torah portions:
Deut. 12:4-6
Deut 12:8-11
Deut 12:13-14
