There was a legit question posed in the political forum recently, how can a Jew believe in Jesus?
This link that starts the thread lays it out why a Jewish person, like myself, who believes in what is written in the Old Testament, would accept Jesus as the Messiah. There are many Jews who have. Including Mary, Joseph, the 12 Disciples, Paul etc...
Never forget the New Testament was written by Jews.

by the way, post # 2 and # 3 were written before the days of our Moderator, when this forum was filled with porn links and other garbage.

many thanks for the cleanup!!!

Wow! Disgruntled really took over this place. In case nobody has looked into this over the last year or so.

They need help with their Hebrew.

I would also very much question the idea that the NT, or more accurately Greek Testament, was written by Jews.

This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon.”

There certainly very early on seems to have been a split between Jews and Christians, in terms of forming distinct communities. It's sort of a unique quibble to talk about being a "Jewish Christian" in the modern era, generated by the dual ethnic/religious definitions of Judaism/Jewry/Jewishness. Ironically a reform or conservative Jew would not call you a Jew, and an Orthodox Jew would. Not one he liked, of course, but - particularly if he were a Lubavitcher - one he would very much like to talk to. While Jews don't proselytize outside the Jewish community, the Lubavitchers are big fans of proselytizing within it.

As to your belief set, it's pretty clear by your use of "old testament" and "new testament" that your natural audience is the gentiles, and a fine mission it is. As one English-language printing of the bible puts it, "Go, and sin on more."

Nicolai, to you, I can only say, 2 Samuel 12:7 (emphasis on the first sentence.)

All religion= bad



It impedes scientific progress w/ bogus morals and the best excuse


"We as humans cannot play god"

What a crock......


If god put us here on earth he gave us the ability to advance in the scientific world. Religion especially Christianity and Catholicism have impeded scientific progress. I am a reformed Catholic who sees the light. Religion is destructive.
Both testaments imo are bogus.
