</strong></a></h3>
<p><strong>In Judaism, the only person who can actually forgive anything &#8211; is the victim.</strong></p>
<p><strong>So you see, we cannot ‘forgive’ those who perpetrated the Holocaust. It is outside our power to do so.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And &#8211; to give a frank answer &#8211; even if Judaism agreed with forgiving on behalf of the victim, I personally would not and could not forgive those who slaughtered six million Jews (including one million children) and millions of NON Jews also.</strong></p>
<p><strong> Some things are, simply, beyond forgiveness.</strong></p>

<p></strong></p>
<p><strong>Here are the actual prophecies:</p>

<p><strong><br />
* There will be no more hunger or illness, and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* All of the dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 52:7)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* Nations will end up recognizing the wrongs they did to Israel (Isaiah 52:13-53:5)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

<p><strong><br />
* Weapons of war will be destroyed (Ezekiel 39:9)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />

<p><strong><br />
* He will then perfect the entire world to serve God together (Zephaniah 3:9)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* Jews will know the Torah without Study (Jeremiah 31:33)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* He will give you all the desires of your heart (Psalms 37:4)</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
* He will take the barren land and make it abundant and fruitful (Isaiah 51:3, Amos 9:13-15, Ezekiel 36:29-30, Isaiah 11:6-9).</strong></p>

<p><strong>The only Christians I would ever condemn are the evangelicals who go round posing as “messianic jews” despite being *literally* not Jewish. They MISrepresent Judaism in a most appalling manner.</strong></p>

</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<p><strong>You can’t, because they&#8217;re not.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Christian bible does not get to REdefine the Jewish covenant with G-d.  The Jewish covenant with G-d is precisely that: <em>Jewish.</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>Christians have their OWN relationship with G-d &#8211; be content in that and stop trying to invalidate ours. What you are doing is called ‘replacement theology’ and it has been the cause of much anti Jewish sentiment through the ages.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Jews and Christians each have their own, special connection to G-d.</strong></p>

<p><strong>If  a Jew  accepts Jesus as ‘messiah’, that means they are embracing Christian ideology. That is their right &#8211; of course it is. But they can’t then claim to be practising ‘judaism’. </strong></p>
<p><strong>To accept Jesus &#8211; or anyone &#8211; as maschiach WHILE our prophecies are not fulfilled, would be in violation of Jewish beliefs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Because of course the ideology surrounding Jesus is also that his death ‘atoned’ for the sins of mankind. This violates Torah. Torah states that no person can ever die for the sins of another human being. We are each responsible for our <em>own</em> sins.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Let&#8217;s apply the premise of this question to Christianity:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8216;If a person denied that Jesus was divine and son of god, could they still be a Christian?&#8217;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Or:</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8216;If a Christian accepted that Mohammed was the final prophet and carried the word of god, can they still be a Christian&#8230;?&#8217;<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>What would the answer be&#8230;?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3></h3>
<p><strong>Answer:<br />
</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>No.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah is from the Jewish scriptures, the Tanakh. There is nothing in the Tanakh about Jesus. They were written thousands of years BEFORE Jesus was even born.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Jesus does not feature in Judaism. So why on earth would he appear in the Tanakh? That’s about as logical as me claiming Mohammed is mentioned in the ‘new testament’!</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>If you read the whole  of Isaiah, without the page breaks that the Church added when it created the ‘old testament’, you will see that the suffering servant is ISRAEL. It is named as ISRAEL over, and over and over and over:</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
saiah 41:8, “But you, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, seed of Abraham my friend”<br />
Isaiah 44:1 “But hear, now, O Jacob My servant Israel, whom I have chosen!”<br />
Isaiah 44:21 “Remember these things, O Jacob for you, O Israel, are My servant”<br />
Isaiah 49:3 “And he said to me, “You are My servant, Israel in whom I glory.”&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>- Because Isaiah identifies the servant previously as Israel we know that references to the servant (such as those found in Isaiah 52 &amp; 53) are not references to Jesus.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong>And even if Christianity tries to ignore what the original Hebrew says, it still can’t be about Jesus:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 52:14 states, “So marred was his appearance, unlike that of a man, his form, beyond human semblance”</strong></p>
<p><strong>-Even though Jesus was whipped and crucified, his form was not marred beyond human semblance. He still resembled a human being, and his form was still like that of a man. Jesus doesn’t fit.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 53:4 states, “Yet it was our sickness that he was bearing, our suffering that he endured, we accounted him plagued, smitten and affected by God.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 53:3 contains, “A man of suffering, familiar with disease.”</strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 53:10 states, “But the Lord chose to crush him by disease”</strong></p>
<p><strong>-Now, these passages tell us that the suffering servant being described was not only familiar with disease, but also afflicted with it, and crushed by it. It may be argued that Jesus was familiar with disease; however, he was not crushed by disease.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And no, disease does not mean sin or any other metaphorical interpretation. The historical context confirms this, early Jewish sources confirm this &#8211; it refers to leprosy.</strong></p>
<p><strong><br />
“The Rabbis said: His name is ‘the leper scholar,’ as it is written, Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him a leper, smitten of God, and afflicted.” (Sanh. 98b)<br />
Jesus was no leper. He wasn’t smitten, afflicted, plagued, crushed by disease. Jesus doesn’t fit.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Isaiah 53:10 also states, “That, if he made himself an offering for guilt, he might see offspring and have long life”</strong></p>
<p><strong>-Jesus made a guilt offering? This is recorded nowhere. He had offspring? The gospels don’t mention this, rather Christian tradition teaches that he had no wife or children. He had a long life? He lived to his mid-30s. Jesus just doesn’t fit.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Answer:</strong></p>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<p><strong>Well, the glib answer would be: I don&#8217;t know, because no Jews read the<em> &#8216;old testament&#8217;&#8230;!</em></strong></p>
<p><strong>The OT is the Christian and somewhat Christianised version of the Jewish <span style="color:#ff0000;">Tanakh</span>. The two are not the same.</strong></p>
<p><strong>But to give a fuller answer:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Nowhere in the Tanakh does it say that the Jewish maschiach will come ‘twice’. How could he? He’s a normal mortal. Normal mortals live normal, mortal lives.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The idea of the ’second coming’ is purely Christian and one might be tempted to think it was developed to explain how it was that Jesus failed to fulfill the 23 Jewish messianic prophecies before the Romans killed him&#8230;!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong><a href="http://www.jewishanswerstochristianquestions.com/2009/10/how-do-jews-rationalize-perverse-moral.html">Question:<br />
</a></strong></h3>
<div>
<p><strong>They must rationalize them somehow because they know that killing a child who cusses their parents is a bit extreme as is killing people for being promiscuous, cheating, and working on the Sabbath.Reading Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Exodus will make any moral person cringe?</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p><strong>Answer:</p>
<p>Nobody ever got killed for the reasons you mention. Nobody was ever killed, period &#8211; just because the punishment was not forbidden, doesn&#8217;t mean it was used. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Had you done some further reading, you would have learned that the Jewish &#8216;court&#8217; system was SO strict that if even one person in 70 years was sentenced to death, it was regarded as &#8216;extreme&#8217;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>By the way -  the &#8216;old testament&#8217; is NOT a Jewish text. It&#8217;s the Church-written, Christian, Christianised version OF our Tanakh. We follow the Tanakh, we don&#8217;t read the OT. It is far from accurate in many instances.<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.whatjewsbelieve.org/">http://www.whatjewsbelieve.org/</a><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ajewwithaview.com/">http://www.ajewwithaview.com</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.jewishanswerstochristianquestions.com/2009/10/do-jews-believe-in-trinity.html">Question:<br />
</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>As they had teaching directly from Moses, were they taught the trinity? If not, wouldn&#8217;t that blow the trinity thing out of the water? I&#8221;d love answers from any Jews out there.</em></p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p>No, there&#8217;s no &#8216;trinity&#8217; in Judaism <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Judaism is what we can call &#8216;austere monotheism&#8217;. In other words: the defining belief is that there exists ONE G-d.This is the very essence of Judaism.</p>
<p>So: no &#8216;trinity&#8217;, and no belief that G-d ever takes human form; the notion = blasphemy in Judaism.Nor do we believe that any human can EVER be &#8216;divine&#8217;.</p>
<p>Hope that helps to answer <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>

</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>Can a person be a Gentile Jew?</em></p>
<p>Answer:</strong></p>
<p><strong>No <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
<p><strong>A Gentile simply means a &#8216;non Jew&#8217;. It&#8217;s a neutral term.</p>
<p>A person is either Jewish, or they&#8217;re not.</p>
<p>If your mother is Jewish, or you convert TO Judaism, you are Jewish.</p>
<p>Judaism says that ALL humans are EQUALLY G-d&#8217;s children. We&#8217;re all equal &#8211; Jews and Gentiles <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </strong></p>
