Well then, if the Jewish experts are as mistaken as you claim, Christians have little to worry about, just as
@Brian2 states.
You appear to have an appalling lack of reading comprehension. My comment on not listening to the experts was clearly sarcasm, as the emoji made clear. This renders half of your screed irrelevant.
I understand the sarcasm Firenze, but my point remains relevant.
. I welcome you to try again.
A great idea, so let's look at it again:
Yes, the experts are mistaken. And we should never believe the experts. It's like getting a head injury and going to a proctologist instead of a neurologist because.... they're both doctors.
Well then, if the Jewish experts are as mistaken as you claim, Christians have little to worry about, just as
@Brian2 states.
Brian2 states the Jews [Jewish experts] are mistaken. You state yes, the experts are mistaken, in the same sense as going to a proctologist instead of a neurologist for a head injury because are experts in their field. In the event anyone misses this point (which, incredulously, can happen a lot on this forum), you make your point even
more clear to readers, with an emoji to commonly used to show sarcasm:
In other words, presenting
Christian experts on the Messiah instead of presenting
Jewish experts on the Messiah was like going to a proctologist instead of a neurologist. Both are experts but one is the wrong expert for head injuries and, continuing with your analogy, one is the wrong expert for Messiahs.
So which expert should we believe?
@Ken who uses experts in Christianity or you, who present experts in Judaism?
Fair enough?
What you miss is the
IRONY in your statement. You are a SKEPTIC Firenz. You list it as your religion. You no more believe
Jewish than you believe
Christian experts, and you no more believe Jewish than Christian scholars. Prophesies concerning a Divinely sent Messiah are going to be incredulous to you regardless of its source.
So where does that leave you and
@Brian2 ?
It leaves you in
AGREEMENT about Jewish scholars. Both of you believe they are mistaken.
So, while I strongly agree you meant your reply as sarcasm, the irony here is that you attempted to refute
@Brian2 with an argument from experts neither of you believe.
As such, since you both agree, the sarcasm is lost but the irony of your comments remain.
Lastly, since it is now abundantly clear that we ALL agree these Rabbis and scholars are mistaken about Jesus,
"Christian here have little to worry about".
As to the rest of my commentary, it simply asks why you present “experts” you yourself don’t believe.
Here are the OT attributes of the Messiah, as agreed by those pesky Jewish OT experts:
The Messiah - Key beliefs in Judaism - GCSE Religious Studies Revision - AQA - BBC Bitesize
Here are the mainstream Hebrew scholars that clearly re-iterate what virtually every Jew and Christian - other than you - already understand..... That they have never believed Jesus was the Messiah. It's precisely why they still wait for him. Make sure to review the notes. Here's just one highlight:
"...the doctrine of Christ was and will remain alien to Jewish religious thought." Wylen, Stephen M.
Settings of Silver: An Introduction to Judaism.
Messiah in Judaism - Wikipedia
I reviewed both links.
Nothing in these links states or even suggests Rabbis and/or their scholars call Jesus a fraud, his apostles liars, or that Christian religious leaders lie to their flock. Do the Jews by and large reject Jesus as Messiah? Yes, but we already knew this. It’s right there in the NT scriptures, penned by his apostles, although you claim they lie.
Rejection does not mean they consider us frauds or liars. We accept and reject others in our lives all the time. I rejected a salesman on a roof offer, but it did not mean I thought him a fraud.
So when you charge Jesus with fraud and his apostles with lying it appears you are adding your own animosity into the mix and then laying this animosity at the feet of the Jews.
As such, I see much of the vitriol within your premise and argument to be mistaken and largely without merit.
