Every book of the Old Testament speaks of Jesus.

According to the "new testament."

The Old Testament also speaks of Jews like you who would condemn and crucify Messiah!

According to the "new testament."

And by the way . . . I'm not Jewish.

Zionist Conspirator - If a man is set on believing a certain way, no amount of persuasion or academic proof will sway him. This is evidenced in history by blind allegiance to Nazism, Communism, Islam and other belief systems - all of which are false.

I believe you've closed yourself to any argument favoring Christianity so I won't try to persuade you otherwise.

Theology aside, I'm going to tell you who Yeshua is to me personally. I grew up a broken young man. An absentee father contributed greatly to that brokenness. I was a follower of the crowd, my instincts and my desires. If anything, Jesus was a distant, impersonal and at best a historic figure. My path, a path of self, was unsustainable. I had become a reveler, drunk, drug addict and whoremonger.

There came a day when I came to the end of myself and confessed to a Christian that I was a broken man. He prayed with me and that began a journey with Jesus, which has brought me to now. My Redeemer lives because He lives in me. I have experienced the power of the Holy Spirit. When I read scripture, both OT and NT, it resonates with Messiah and the power of His Word. I have experienced the same Jesus and Holy Spirit as they are witnessed in scripture.

We could argue all day about the validity of Jesus and the NT so I'll leave you with this. When I was at my lowest point in life, Jesus showed up and saved me. My guess is that there are many in this forum who've experienced the same Jesus!

I bid you Shalom!
