Chris Tann, any Jew professing a faith in Judaism could not reconcile Jesus with Messiah. This is mutually exclusive. If any person of Jewish faith decided to accept Christianity, he or she cannot claim to be in both faiths. Judaism and Christianity have different theology and beliefs that cannot be combined. Additionally you are trapped within Catholic foundation of Christianity that implemented concept of Original sin, which is foreigner in Judaism and this idea is channeled to various Protestant denominations in Northern America. If there is no original sin, there is no redeemer Jesus to pay your sins away. The centerpieces of Jewish faith is a direct relationship to G-d, not to dead guy to whom Paul assigned a divine attributes.

In the Jewish covenant, Israel is the body created and called by G-d as his tool of redemption to bring a divine reign of fruitation. This is opposite to what Christianity teaches where Jesus filled the role. Jesus did not fullfill messianic expectation of the Jewish nation. He was not king, nor gathered Jews from exile, renewed temple, nor was annointed by prophet. To them he was not priest, king, or prophet. Nothing in Christianity can change that. Redemption in Judaism is centered in love of G-d in soul, mind, and heart; where upholding divine Commandment heals the breech that seperate mankind with from Him. Jews do not seek out to reparing world, but restoring the world through the service to G-d.

michelle, there is also no credibility in NT. Christianity and Judaism does not believe in the same G-d. This is only your illusion as well as many of the Protestant movements around the world. Because Christianity uses texts that were written for Jewish faith, it still does not make Christianity a continuation of Judaism or gave them a divine gift of interpretation of the OT. Christianity corrupted the meaning of it and I am sure the rabbis and Jewsto whom OT is also part of their national and cultural identity for 2500 years understand much better than Protestant Bible preacher.

designs, of course Paul did not want to get into discussion with Jewish rabbis, because his teaching were false. He rather run to Rome to seek a help at the court of mass murderer named Nero.

to Michelle: Is 53:7-10 is in Rabbinic literature associated with the nation of Isreal. There is no sense how G-d can suffer and die. While Christians think that it releates to Jesus, it is not what Jews believe.

Apognophos, Jews do not need Christians to pray for them. They do just fine without Christians and unlike them, they do not go around to proselyte others about their faith. Jews do not share Christian beliefs, nor accept dead Jewish guy as their Messiah.

Chris Tann, you mistake by redeeming sin by one individual on behalf other does not make any sense in Judaism because everyone is responsible for his own sin. Christian thinking where Adamic sin was washed away by Jesus never made any sense even to me when I was in JW cult. Adamic sin is invention of Christianity and was accepted in the 4th century by St. Augustine as mainstream theology.

myelanie, evangelical support for Jews/Israel is not guided for whatsoever interest in well being of the Judaism, but it is a way to justify their religious extremism. Evangelicism hopes that gathering all Jews in one statehood would prove the End is imminient and Jesus will appear at the end of the times. Jews do not care about Jesus, nor about Evangelical religion. Stalin used to support Israel in 1948 and Czechoslovakian communist government was detrimental for aiding Israel in that time. Their reasoning was not guided by love to Jews, but creating another communist paradise in the world. Evangelical preachers and other extremists are guided by similar motion to prove their ideology. Jesus did not die for anyone sins in the sense of Judaism, as there is no redemption of one person on the other. Besides, majority of Jews lived outside Judea at the time of Jesus's death and have no whatsoever knowledge on his existence. Jews had many people who claimed to be Messiah, but only one made it into world's mainstream religion.

by CharlieSmith1975 in

per jws the un is the scarlet-colored wild beast that becomes the 8th king just before armageddon.

No miraclous events happened in 70AD. Judea was an integral part of Roman empire and was as rebellious province punished the same way at the same time sas happened in Britain under Boedica, Illyria, or Batavia. Which G-d these provinces pissed off? Judaism does not teach salvation though someone else, there is no redemption for sin by someone else sacrifices. This does not make whatsoever any sense. Everyone is responsible for his or her own sin, nothing more or less. There is no redeemer, nor bridge [Jesus] over bottomless gap of sin between you and G-d. Redemtion and Jesus death is invalid in the eye of Judaism. Judaism does not teach original sin, adamic sin, or defect that is transmitted from generation to generation as a sin. Life is created perfect and sinless. Sin happens by people's innability to uphold Torah. Hebrews 9:18-23 and everything what is written in NT has no whatsoever any meaning to Jews. It is not part of theri sacred books; therefore, invalid and worthless. There is no need for mediator between you and G-d. OT does not deal with such nonsense. Besides Paul violated in this topic Deut 5:29.

myelanie, designs is correct on that that Messiah in Judaism is not represented by Jesus. Jesus was not Mesiah, because he did not fullfill any prophecies what would be expected from king of peace. Judaism does not teach salvation through another person, nobody can redeem your sin. It is only yours own responsiblity to have a good standing with G-d. Salvation is achieved through obedience to Torah, love of G-D, and work on yourself to achieve it. No shortcut on someone else back. Did Jesus in his time fullfill any of these: Became a king of Israel, returned Jewish people to Isreal (in time where majority lived outside Judea), rebuild temple in Jerusalem, bring peace to the world? Jesus was anointed by woman, not by prophet as did Samuel in the past. Jesus was false prophet, and he died and he is not comming back.

Paul deliberately created split between Judaism and Christianity by his own will by invalidating Torah and making G-d given commands obsolote. He knew he would face a justice in Jerusalem for it and rather run under protection of Nero than defend his truth in the jury of his fellow Jews.

JWs are uncapable to greif and show emotions. They do not experience and sense of loss and they can care less. When my evil JW aunt died, my cousins behaved as they had concipation. No emotion, no sadness, nothing. They just stated that the mom died, but nothing to worry she will be resurrected shortly because "A" is just behind the corner. This was 14-15 years ago. 20 years ago elder with his children crashed on his way to the district assembly that was held in Ostrava, this was in winter were there was snow and ice. The assembly was about one mile from the site of the crash and no single JW stopped by because they did not want to be late. Some of the JW vividly discribed me how they seen from their car the crash happen, car flipping in the midair, they knew who was driving, yet they only cared to be on the opening of the assembly. No emotion. The elder had died, he was actually very nice guy, but from the JWs who talked about it there was no any feeling of sadness.

When I was kid we had Russian (or Soviet, but we called them Russians) tank crashed on the main highway. They had their tank there for some times before they were able to take it out of the ditch. After 1989 such tanks dismantling places were common occurances in Eastern Europe. My father used to operate one in the 60s's. They had major technical problems, their belt felt often, and gasoline tank was at the back which you can puncture by hoe or pickaxe and lit it on fire. Between 1960's and 1980's they were rusting in the bases. Czechoslovakia was one the biggest producers of tanks in the past. During WWII every third tank used by Germans was assembled in Pilsen. During communist times there were huge defense plants in Slovakia in the Carpathian mountains. Slovakia minimized these production 25 years ago as they are not effective and obsolete. Saddam adn Milosevich had huge tanks brigades and both lost the war. Entire commie block lost the Cold War because the DoD planned on conventional warfare with tactical support near the front line using nuclear weapons.
