...yet the dead sea scrolls date from about 350 B.C. to 68 A.D. and were written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek; they contain Biblical and apocryphal works, prayers and legal texts and sectarian documents, mention the messiah, so the new testamant cant be a false book of the bible, as information in these writtings tie in together.

...lean not to your own understanding but read the bible, pray that your heart and mind is freed from the veil, and that the holy ghost comes into your soul that you to can gain real truth and real faith.

We are in the end times, and satan is decieving and taking as many souls as he can to hell with him.

wow... let's see if I can clear some things up...

okay, first of all, about Jesus.

Yeshua ben Yosheph = Jesus son of Joseph. You can translate Yeshua to be what it sounds like, Joshua or Jesus (you have to watch the accent marks.) In the Old testament it was proficied multiple times that the King of the Jews would descend from the direct blood-line of King David. Joseph was a descendant of King David and became father of Jesus. This would make Jesus the King of the Jews proficied hundreds of years before. The reason Jesus was not accepted as the King was because the Jews didn't see him fit to be king since he was born in a manger as opposed to some great castle in some huge city. The reason for this is because Jesus did not come to be served as a King but to serve as the humble son of God. Jesus lived his life as a young child teaching in synagogues. When he turned 30, he began his ministry to spread the gospel, the "good news" which is the word of God, with the help of a chosen few who were Disciples.

He didn't preach it to Jews alone but to people of all nations, whether Jews or Gentiles (if you don't know, a gentile is someone who is not a Jew.) He didn't preach in just synagogues, but in city squares, hill tops or wherever people would gather to listen. He performed miracles from healing the sick, calming storms and raising the dead back to life. When he was 33, he was captured by Romans, by order of the Jewish high-priests who were corrupt and arrogant, thus being sentenced to death. His death on the cross would be the final sacrifice for all the sins of Man.

(In the old testament, in order for atone for your sins, you had to sacrifice an animal on an alter and perform a tiring ritual that lasted a couple days. God sent his song, to die on the cross so that whomever believed in what he did would would have everlasting life in Heaven. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross was the sacrifice to end all sacrifices, so that whoever believed in this true event would simply need to ask forgiveness, with an honest heart, from our Father.

-Now to answer the original question of this thread.

Yes, Jesus was a Jew and he taught based on the old testament and the word of God. This is all true, but this is where Christianity comes in. The Jews are God's chosen people, and there are two types of people in this world, Jews and non-Jews (gentiles.) Now Christian are people who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and believe in his sacrifice (his death by crucifixion that I stated earlier.)

Paul did not meet Jesus Christ in person, but rather he was called into the Christian ministry. This is for those who don't know about Paul. Paul was orginally named Saul. He was a Jew who persecuted Christians. So before Paul even did his thing, he was persecuting people who had already been Christians, people who had already seen and heard Christ and witnessed his miracles. Saul was a high ranking officer and was in charge of capturing and Christians and having them imprisoned or killed. Saul was traveling to Damascus when a bright light had blinded him. During the blinding Jesus spoke to him and asked him why he was persucting those who believed him (Jesus) and told him that when he enters Damascus, he will meet a man known as Eli who will heal his blindness. After he was healed, he had his name changed to Paul.

Now think about it, Saul was a high-ranking officer who's sole purpose at the time was to capture and/or kill people who believed in this man called "Jesus." After the incident at Damascus, he had a life changing experience that turned him from a military officer, greatly respected by the high-priest to a Christian who had to live the rest of his life running from the very people he had served. Why would he make the decision to change from what Saul was to whom Paul had become? After Saul had become Paul, he traveled from city to city teaching the words of God and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. For this he was stoned, imprisoned and greatly persecuted, however he continued because he knew the truth.

There's a lot more but hopefully I cleared some things up, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. There's so much more to this than what you hear or read from people who don't want to listen and don't want to believe.

A really rough time for the Jewish leaders so corrupted to felt they were to loose their authority and power and wealth by having this king be above them and their own authority. I need to research about the jewish faith/history before Christs birth and the koran i think..

My understanding as to one of the key reasons that the Hebrews rejected Jesus for their Messiah was due to the fact that the term "alma" was used in reference to Mary which translates to "young female." For whatever reason, some Christian theologians reinterpreted that term to mean "virgin" thus proliferating the myth and rumor that we understand to this day of Jesus being born from a "virgin birth"

The Jews were diligent record keepers and sticklers for the details. So Jesus in effect did not meet their personal qualifications to be the chosen one. To this day he does not either.
