Different Strokes for Different Folks
If you work real hard maybe one day you could be a huffy-puffy boss too.
Or maybe it was needed because the other one wasn't be offered to different markets.
Their Messiah Had to be a Liberator, Like George Washington or William Tell
He was a liberator to all who listened to his teaching, and acted on it, that Divine Law is not to be taken literally, the words not necessarily directly connected to the literal meaning of the words used. It follows that the subjects were deliberately buried and hidden like a treasure using figurative language, the language of the prophets.
Everything is choice but I don't see it as Christianity had nothing better to offer as much as it was that they rejected Christ because they embraced the form of religion above God. It's like an Amish man growing a beard so that he can show he isn't vain and then becoming vain about not showing his vanity. They forgot what the goal was.
Says the guy who set aside Divine Law and turned to a piece of bread, made by human hands, for spiritual life.
Says the religious nutjob on his crusade against Christianity.
The Hebrew masses didn't want to be opiated
No idea what that is supposed to mean. But if you are referring to Marx, that was a fairly misunderstood comment. It doesn't mean what most people think it means. In fact, it's literally the basis for the argument for socialism and communism. The world is unfair, you don't have to make sacrifices, we will take care of your material needs.
The Worm in the Nile Will Squirm in Denial
The voice of the Lord makes the wilderness writhe in travail; the Lord makes the wilderness writhe.
IKR? That poster talks about “Gd’s curse on the Jews,” yet remains blind to his own antisemitism.
Your question about whom Jesus was “sent to” assumes that Jesus was sent at all. From the Jewish point of view, he was just another Jewish leader with a small band of followers. The vast majority of the Jewish people at that time never even heard of him.
What's worse is that many who knew him saw that he was openly an unrepentant sinner and low level criminal of no account, if not insane, in the eyes of all who took the Law literally, and he was, if they were right to do so.
The NT account is all we have for such information. We can embellish it with the history of the times, but we can't change it. Jesus stated (emphatically), "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel". This is confirmed by OT prophecies, which are cited in the NT concerning this.
Well as I said, that is coming from the Christian perspective.
Very few messianic Jews. Attempts to convert have failed miserably. That’s why they started with the “Jews for Jesus” crap, as a side assault rather than frontal. They’re very sneaky.
