Thank you, gentlemen. It is a very pc board. I'm not trying to proselytize, merely discuss and ask questions. It all started with them asking how in the world we get that Christianity came from Judaism (Christ and NT authors being Jews don't cut it) (they also see Islam being more in line with their thinking than Christianity). The ?s toward Christians has landed on this verse for the most part (after we got past the dispy's comments). Realizing we were stalled on several matters, I started a thread ?s for Jewish ppl. That thread is going "interesting"
with the henotheism and Noachide Laws (yes, I brought up the NL). They actually seem to like the thought we are putting into this. But since they cannot see our points, I figure I would try to logically work through theirs (gives me an idea of their thought processes and beliefs system). They did agree when I mentioned their taking the prophecies of Messiah as to be totally fulfilled in the physical where we believe part of it is fulfilled spiritually as being the main wall in understanding and disagreement.
(oh, and I've read some of their anti-missionary stuff at jewsforjudaism.org. They call Christian missionaries fanatics
I guess some can be, but the broadbrushing bit :rolleyesagain: )
