I’m willing to change my mind. Is he? Are others? I don’t know. Question. How can a person change his or her mind about something, anything, which can’t be discussed? By policy and intent, this board isn’t set up for the purpose of changing minds. This board operates on a social club model -...

Do you think Jesus is the rightful king of the Jews?

I’m glad to hear that. I’m here to dialogue with people from various faith traditions, not to rile them. I’m actually on record here as saying that I’ve changed my mind before and that I’m open to the possibility of changing my mind again.

Great point. It should be obvious to people that not all Jews hated Jesus. Not even all of the religious authorities hated him. The same as with the lineage of Mary - to prove / persuade that he is the Messiah; a descendant of David. What would you say is the purpose?

In the case of the Nazis, to break down the resistance of the populace to persecuting Jews. Unfortunately, the policy of Christianity Board currently prohibits discussion of that subject. Mindful of that, I have no comment.

The KJV was produced quite a number of years / decades after the beginning of the Protestant Reformation and the publication of the Geneva Bible. (Note other pre-KJV English translations too.) I’m not aware of any translation that does. That you think the Bible published by the Reformers (and...

Just imagine how Christians would react if a Jew made the false assertion that Christians were not allowed, forbidden, to read the Hebrew Bible! Constructing walls made of patently false assertions - which is what the “Jews are forbidden to read Isaiah 53” narrative is - is not an effective...

The false assertion that Jews are forbidden to read Isaiah 53 is just one more reason why some Jews reject Jesus of Nazareth, himself a Jew.

Jewish commentary on Isaiah 53 is readily available for anyone - Jew or non-Jew, anyone - who cares to read it. Isaiah 53 is not a chapter forbidden by Jews to read. I’ve had many conversations with Jews about the chapter. I didn’t agree with their understanding of the chapter and they didn’t...
