Neither what Christians say about it means that's what it teaches.
I wasn't saying that the rabbis I quoted are infallible, I was saying that I believe that within Judaism, there are hints that Christ is the Messiah.

Muslims also see Muhammad in the Bible. It's all just as nonsensical.I wasn't saying that the rabbis I quoted are infallible, I was saying that I believe that within Judaism, there are hints that Christ is the Messiah.

I'm not talking about extra Biblical stuff. Muslims find Muhammad prophesied in the Bible.Without doubt, we find many truths in extra biblical material. The difficulty is determining which are truth and which bits are a deviation from the truth of scripture and the Holy Spirit.

Unfortunately, modern Rabbis of Judaism believe that the “Suffering Servant” of Isaiah 53 refers perhaps to Israel, or to Isaiah himself, or even Moses or another of the Jewish prophets. But Isaiah is clear - he speaks of the Messiah, as many ancient rabbis concluded.
The call has never been pushed aside.When, by the way, the "call from God" was pushed aside by those who were Biblically in that covenant relationship with the God of Israel, there were often some pretty serious consequences.
We've beeen through this before. Not every mention of the Redeemer means messiah. The Redeeemer is God, who is not a man.Job was a follower of the Messiah of Israel and he lived during the days of the Old Covenant.
Hardly. The whole purpose of Oral Torah is to make obeying the Torah possible and easier.The Oral Torah is traditions that don't necessarily agree with what the Old Testament teaches.
Nah. They are simply teaching stories, much like fables. I personally never found them difficult to understand. They are only difficult if 1. your thinking is too concrete or 2. you are a decidedly not very spiritual person. I mean, like, the Good Samaritan? You think that's hard to understand?Parables are not "exaggerations", they are stories meant to hide the kingdom from those without ears to hear (Is 6:9).

Because I don't read every post all the time, so when the original post is not quoted, I'm not sure.I'm responding to Skywalker. I quoted him, so I'm not sure why you didn't get that?
perhaps the post death punishments. The Tanach explains that death IS the punishment. No matter we sin a little or a lot.Which line? Me having a good day, the need to keep commandments or post-death punishments?
Speaking of secrets and not telling, did Moses' fellow Hebrews always believe Moses?a. This is all very nice for Romans, but we were talking about Revelation. Different books, you see.
b. I see. This must be some of that "progressive revelation" Christians claim is a thing in the bible. Though Tanach doesn't indicate that a Jew who doesn't keep the commandments is no longer a Jew, comes Paul, who we all know was the wisest, most righteous man of his generation, and teaches us: whoops, here's a secret Hashem never bothered to tell the other Jews!
Yep, 1200 years or so of delusions.
Fine, so it's not replacement theology. It just goes entirely against the Tanach.
Then you have problems with the Torah, since it is Deuteronomy 17:8-13 which gives the Judges/Pharisees/Rabbis authority.I have no problem with the Torah, my problem is with the teachings of the Pharisees and Sadducees, who interpreted the Torah. The lies lie within the interpretation and implementation, whether written or oral.
Again... Is there any chance that when replying to a remark, you may quote the post you are responding to?Nor did I say that you said that.
Exactly, you're proving my point. Two Jews- three opinions. Two Christians- ten opinions and 30-year long wars.
Is there any chance you can quote the post you're responding to? All you have to do is press 'reply'.Then you have problems with the Torah, since it is Deuteronomy 17:8-13 which gives the Judges/Pharisees/Rabbis authority.

Oh, now I get it. You have @Skywalker on ignore. That's why you can't tell who @Rival, @IndigoChild5559 and I are replying to. We're all quoting who we're replying to. You just can't see that portion of our posts because of the ignore feature.Again... Is there any chance that when replying to a remark, you may quote the post you are responding to?
Not interested in debating. You asked, I answered.perhaps the post death punishments. The Tanach explains that death IS the punishment. No matter we sin a little or a lot.
As noted in my previous post (919), you have Skywalker on ignore. Most of the posts here aren't directed at you. While it's no sin to query posts directed at other people, I think perhaps you should momentarily unignore Skywalker to understand exactly how our debates on this thread have been going on before asking questions. Just a suggestion.Speaking of secrets and not telling, did Moses' fellow Hebrews always believe Moses?
