Deut. 32:8,
The words "point" and "purpose" don't mean the same thing. I ran out of arguments, mentioned Karaite Judaism, a legitimate branch of Judaism, and their rejection of Jesus in order to solicite comments. My purpose being to get others to reject Jesus. Granted, I could've said things...
Iris89,
I don't accept Jesus. I only cited Jesus to show that the Christians, being mostly Jews originally, were absolute monotheists like their Jewish counterparts.
A Friend,
Jamie:)
You're right, I do have a purpose. That purpose is to get people to study why the Jews reject Jesus. Most people know that most of the Jews do reject Jesus but, they don't know why. I'm just showing them why and refining my arguments against Jesus' messiahship in the process. Besides, finding...
All concerned,
The Jews are absolutely monotheistic and Jesus commended them for that (see Mark 12:28-34). The early Christians were Jews that wouldn't forsake absolute monotheism for nothing. Most Jews today reject the tritheistic overtones of the Trinity though there are a few that view it as...
No point, just curious what everyone thinks. Let me add two more links:

Please, no curiosity killed the cat comments:) .

What are your opinions about how the Karaite Jews view Jesus and Christianity on the Internet as follows:

Though I don't believe in Jehovah, I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of...
Netdoc,
Welcome, back! Obviously, that topic has been exhausted, though I don't look at it as a semantic twist. Let's move on anyway. What's your view of the fact that "virgin" is a mistranslation and should've been rendered "young woman" not "virgin" in Isaiah 7:14. Doesn't the fact that...
I like to read the King James Version as a result of it's poetic style. It's gotten to the point that I don't feel like I'm reading the Bible unless it's in King James style. However, each version has it's strengths and weaknesses and one should exercise judgment in that regard. In other words...
To Everyone,
I accept the story of Noah's ark for three reasons: 1. Every society has a flood legend which, supports a worldwide flood; 2. Some have claimed to see the ark on Ararat; and 3. Some have noted two or three different narratives here but, that doesn't prove the flood false, it only...
Why is it funny? One would think that common sense is common sense. Why the entire Christian world missed it is not my concern. Also, no matter how it's translated Gen. 49:10 still involved the departure of the sceptre from the tribe of Judah when Shiloh comes. Again, why is logic funny?
Jamie
It does take awhile to see this. Let me try to simplify: A. Sceptre departs from the tribe of Judah when Shiloh comes; 2. Jesus is part of the tribe of Judah; 3. If Jesus is Shiloh and of the tribe of Judah, then, his coming would remove the sceptre from Judah and himself; 4. The only...
Gilbert,
How does that answer my Gen. 49:10 problem with Jesus' messiahship? I have additional comments on the other aspects associated with Jesus' messiahship that you alluded to but, first things first.
Jamie
How do you explain Gen. 49:10, the verse that states that the sceptre of leadership will remain with the tribe of Judah until Shiloh or, as most Christians view it, Jesus comes? Now, here's my problem with that: Jesus is of the tribe of Judah and can't take the sceptre away from his own tribe...
