Ga Bard, What is your opinion of these verses from the Jewish Prophet Isaiah? Chapter: Isa.53 "1: Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? 2: For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3: He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4: Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6: All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7: He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8: He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9: And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth."

"Jesus I have doubts about agnostic) because he was a Jew and was rejected by the Jews" Jesus was rejected by some Jews and accepted by others as the Messiah. Did you know that the Christian Church has almost 100% Jewish believers for the first 20 or more years? At the beginning Christianity was almost 100% Jewish! It is estimated that hundreds of thousand of Jews accepted Jesus in the first century. It is these Jews that gave their lives to spread Christianity to to the whole world. The early Jewish-Christians were often martyred when they preached their faith. First the Jewish-Chrisians were muredered by their own Jewish in Jerusalem and when they went into Asia Minor and Europe they were slaughtered by our European ancestors for bringing them the Gospel of Jesus. It was the blood of the Jewish marytrs that helped spread Christianity into Europe. It is strange that now Europeans are the Christians and many Jews feel that Christianity in not Jewish. Very strange.
