Here is a link to a jewish translation of Isaiah from the Hebrew to English.\nhttp://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et1053.htm\nHere is a link to Isaiah 53 in the HCSV\nhttp://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2053&version=77 (Several versions are available from this link, and you can get parallel versions on one page.)\nHere is another link to a Jewish translation from Hebrew to English.\nhttp://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Bible/Isaiah53.html\n\nThe Muslims do not have a copy of Isaiah. The Holy Books in the posession of Islam are the Koran, and the Hadiths. For the Old and New Testament books, they must rely on the Jews and Christians (part of the reason they do not believe in the authority of the Jewish and Christian Scriptures).

Yes we need to study our bible to show ourselves approved before God.\nJesus whipped Satan with bible scriptures. We can also whip Satan with bible scriptures. But beware, Satan knows those scriptures better than any mortal.

I agree with you, I'm a born again Christian too.  However, Muslims rewrote the Bible to accomodate their beliefs.  I once read that the Koran is a collection of passages "lifted and twisted" from the Bible ... no offense to any Muslims out there, but I guess the truth hurts.

Have YOU??\n\nIt is not that the Jews are blind, it is that Christians see the Hebrew Scriptures through Jesus-colored glasses. Since they read the Christian's New Testament first, then the TaNaCH, they see the TaNaCH through the lens of Christianity. \n\nIf read on its own, with no knowledge of, or belief in, Christianity, the Hebrew Scriptures would not be seen as being about Jesus.\n\nJews dont see the Christian interpretation in Isaiah 53, because it contradicts what the Hebrew Scriptures, the Bible says, clearly and consistently, in at least 3 places:\n\nIn Exodus 32:30-35, Moses tries to offer himself as an atonement for the sins of the people. To be written out of God's book, means to be written out of the Book of Life, which means Moses was asking to die for the sins of the People. God's response was "No, it does not work that way, each man dies for his own sin:"\n\nExodus 32:30-35\nAnd it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses \nsaid unto the people, Ye have sinned a great \nsin: and now I will go up unto the Eternal; \nperhaps I shall make an atonement for your \nsin. And Moses returned unto the Eternal, and \nsaid, Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, \nand have made them gods of gold. Yet now, if \nthou wilt forgive their sin--; and if not, \nblot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which \nthou hast written. And the Eternal said unto \nMoses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him \nwill I blot out of my book...nevertheless in \nthe day when I visit I will visit their sin \nupon them.\n\nIn Deuteronomy 24:16 it specifically says this:\n\nDeuteronomy 24:16\nThe fathers shall not be put to death for the \nchildren, neither shall the children be put to \ndeath for the father. Every man must die for \nhis own sin.\n\nThe whole of chapter 18 of the book of Ezekiel is about this idea, that no one can die for someone else's sin. Further, this chapter of Ezekiel teaches us that all we have to do for God's forgiveness is to stop doing the Bad and start doing the Good, and God will forgive us. Nowhere in this chapter does it say that we have to have a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins.\n\nEzekiel 18:1-4; 20-24; 26-27\n.....Behold, all souls are mine; as the \nsoul of the father, so also the soul of the \nson is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall \ndie....The soul that sinneth, it shall die. \nThe son shall not bear the iniquity of the \nfather, neither shall the father bear the \niniquity of the son: the righteousness of the \nrighteous shall be upon him, and the \nwickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. \nBut if the wicked will turn from all his sins \nthat he hath committed, and keep all my \nstatutes, and do that which is lawful and \nright, he shall surely live, he shall not die. \nAll his transgressions that he hath committed, \nthey shall not be mentioned unto him: in his \nrighteousness that he hath done he shall live. \nHave I any pleasure at all that the wicked \nshould die? saith the Eternal God: and not \nthat he should return from his ways, and live? \n\nSo, either Deuteronomy 24:16, "Every man must die for his own sin" does not mean that 'every man must die for his own sin,' and the Christian interpretation of Isaiah 53 is correct, or the Christian interpretation of Isaiah 53 is not correct, and Deuteronomy 24:16, 'Every man must die for his own sins' means exactly what it says.\n\nFurthermore, Jews read Isaiah up to and including Isaiah 53, and Isaiah repeatedly refers specifically to the Jews as Gd's servant. Read Isaiah 41:8; Isaiah 44:21; Isaiah 45:4; Isaiah 49:3; Isaiah 44:1; Isaiah 48:20 and Isaiah 49:7 \n\nLets concentrate on Isaiah 43:10::\nIsaiah 43:10 \n"You are my witnesses, saith the Etrnl, and my \nservant whom I have chosen: that ye may know \nand believe me, and understand that I am he: \nbefore me there was no Gd formed, neither \nshall there be after me." \n\nThe above verse refers to the Jewish People in the

i have never trusted the media.... \n\ni'm a religious studies major...\ni make it a point to only study religions from the perspective of the ppl who practice them. what can a hindu or a jew or a christian or a muslim teach me about buddhism that a buddhist who lives this everyday cant\n\n\n***also.... since converting to Islam i have noticed the same things you have. after watching Control Room, i understood why things are the way they are.\n\n*just my opinion\n\nasalamwalaikum

i am a non-Christian, and would love to help. May i make a suggestion? Please go to the following web site, which has other web sites listed as well. It will teach you a lot about Judaism. I am sure through that web site, you will find someone who would be happy to answer any honest question you may have! Even all the million questions you already have, lol!

nope, not at all. jesus is not part of our theology or teaching. he might have (historically) been a jew who wanted to reform judaism, or he might have been a trouble maker who coopted certain mysitical jewish practices. but he was unimportant to judaism and he remains so.\n\nand btw, judaism does not teach that he was a prophet AT ALL.

I don't "follow" either.  And I am not sure how any Christian can claim their religion is the oldest when it is an off-shoot of Judaism.  They should really look into these things before saying something like that.

That is  a very good question and the answer is a little confusing. The problem is that people often get confused between Judiasm and Jews. To be Jewish does NOT mean you follow the Jewish religion, instead it is a group of people. Kind of like just because you are Indian does not mean you are hindu, or if you are arabic it does not mean you are muslim (unless it is the law of your country) \n\nNow before the birth of Christ, the Jewish(reffering to the group of people) did follow the same religion, which can be called the "Jewish" religion, because they where Jew and that was their religion. Now, before Christ was born, as you know from reading the scriptures, their where prophesies about his coming. Some believed and some did not believe he was coming. When Jesus Christ was born he taught many new things and gave new revelations. Thus came Christianity, though if it was called that at the time, I am not sure. Those who did not believe he was the Savior and still live by the ways before Christ and do not follow His new teachings broke off and are today reffered to as "Jewish"\n\nThose who followe Christ are Christians. Those who are Jewish by blood are not neccesarily Jewish by religian, You can be jewish by religion even if you are not Jewish by blood. Jesus was born to Jewish parents and He is how Christianity started. Remember, back then Jewish and Christianity were intertwined and not distinctively seperate.\n\nI know it is confusing. But basically, the coming of Christ and the belief in whet He taught is what seperates the 2 religions.

There will be no argument if everybody study the Original version of ..Talmud and the Torah(Judaism), Bible (Christian) and Koran (Islam)...\n\nBecause It came from One God..

Good question. I did an entire study to show what the Levitical law was all about and why it should have no control or hold on the church believer.

As a Saudi I must say, that you are being rude and disrespectuful, as you SHOW GREAT IGNORANCE..\n\nAnd about the "Saudi text" which you were refferring to.. well\nWe believe Judaism and Christianity are deviant religions, since Jews REJECTED AND HATED AND STILL ACTUALLY hate Jesus Christ.. as we also believe Christianity is also deviant because Jesus never TAUGHT ANY TRINITY, and for more insight, please check my answer to a questioner asking "Can anyone give me PROOF against Christianity?" go to my personal page and u'll find it there, JACKa$$\n\nand about the apes, are jews.. etc..\n\nWELL, AS A MATTER OF FACT THIS IS TAKEN FROM A STORY MENTIONED IN THE QURAN TALKING ABOUT SOME JEWS WHO USED TO BREAK THE SHABBAT, WE BELIEVE GOD TURNED THEM INTO APES AS A PUNISHMENT FOR THEM AND A LESSON TO BE LEARNT FOR THOSE WHO DIDN'T BREAK IT, SO THEY KEEP BEING PIOUS AND SIN NOT.. SO.... THAT SENTANCE DID NOT MEAN THAT JEWS ARE ALL APES.. RATHER, THOSE WHO BROKE THE SHABBAT WERE THE ONES TURNED TO APES..\n\nRead: \n\nQuran 2:63. And (O Children of Israel, remember) when We took your covenant and We raised above you the Mount (saying): "Hold fast to that which We have given you, and remember that which is therein so that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - See V.2:2).\n\n2:64. Then after that you turned away. Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allâh upon you, indeed you would have been among the losers.\n\n2:65. And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be you monkeys, despised and rejected."\n\n2:66. So We made this punishment an example to their own and to succeeding generations and a lesson to those who are Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).\n\nand FINALLY, BRING YOUR EVIDENCES THAT SUPPORT THE CLAIM WHICH YOU MADE.. WHEN YOU SAID: "while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus.”\n\nWHERE DOES IT SAY THAT IN THE QURAN?!\n\n\nI'm done you f****t

Absolutely, I refuse to believe blindly in religions written by men.  Even if God spoke to these men, I have to assume that some things were lost in translation.  I do, however, pray everyday that human-kind will awaken their desire to walk in the way of love.

I have never taken part in the Jewsih feast of passover as much as I would LOVE to.\n\nI have experienced passover in the sense that I believe the passover lamb perfect and spotless was sacrificed for me...Jesus.\n\nThanks for the question,\n\nDavid
