Anyone Knowledgeable about the Jewish Faith?

I don't think the order written is how the jews read it, and since you have to convince THEM, you need to read the Jewish scriptures, then go read the NT and see if it all matches up then.. And while you're at it, you should read some of the other gospels and books that didn't make it into the christian Bible, and see how they agree or disagree with the four that did. In some of the infancy gospels, Jesus is a little ass.

another comment, i'm not sure 'the order written' is the way christians read the OT either. People who know better than me, speak up.

I read it in the order written, probably why I was under the mistaken impression that it all led to Jesus Christ as Messiah.



Ya'll are cracking me up.

I don't want to be a Messiah. That whole dying for the faith thing blows.

Crucifixion? Stoning? Burning at the stake?

Who intends to die for my faith? I just want to get pelted by expensive yarn. And buried in a biiiiig pile of it! ahhhh.

Also, as far as the Jewish Messiah - he wasn't supposed to die by Jewish understanding. He's supposed to be a warrior - and he's supposed to bring about the Kingdom of God IN HIS LIFE.

I guess I was equating messiah with martyr. Whoops.

That's pretty unusual. Most people are one or the other. Good for you!

most of the people I know are bistickers, but occasionally, I'll find a mono. But usually, the bistickers use crochet for one type of thing and knitting for another. ie. house slippers and doilys are crocheted, and sweaters and socks are knitted.
