Jews Rejected God's Offer

I don't know if this is true or not, but if the OT doesn't require Messiah to be of David's bloodline, what's your point? But,as I said, none of the thought-to-bes were named Immanuel.......so it's clearly not a requirement. I don't know about Hebrew, but it certainly does in English. Why do you keep bringing up the Assyrians? Clearly, in this day and age, even the Jews would admit that the prophecy doesn't LITERALLY speak of Jews being delivered from the Assyrians.......as they're currently free from the Assyrians, and yet they believe that Messiah has not yet come. Not in THIS world, as was evidenced by the fact that the fella you speak of (I forget his name) was taken up to heaven......he wasn't granted fleshly immortality, he was just spared death. Exactly........so were the old testament prophecies, largely, whether the Jews realized it or not. Oh, ok, when CHRISTIANS say something's literal, they're wrong, and when Jews do it, they're right....... Once again, you guys should really study up before making incorrect statements like this. All depends on how you define canon........if you believe that it's as holy as any other holy scripture (as the Jews do), then you consider it canon. Then you are my brother... But, as I said earlier, Jews can't even believe anymore that Messiah's gonna literally save them from the Assyrians and Babylonians, as Babylon doesn't even exist anymore...... Let's do that. Obviously, Matthew was working off of a flawed memory with the verses he quoted.......does that really make a difference?This message has been edited by YesthisisTrue, 11-23-2004 04:56 AM

BTW, I see you guys are mentioning how NT people misquote the OT a lot......and you're right, technically. But nothing less should be expected; neither ancient Hebrew or Koine Greek even had quotation marks.......
