"the subject (of the OP)" is not what I meant when I wrote" the subject". I was referring to the subject you asked about.

It would be nice if you could stop editing my quotes. Also, that's not how I spell antisemitism. Nothing comes to mind at the moment. Would have to look into the subject more.

I don't think it was a hit piece back in the day, but nor do I think it was ever thought as a hack job. I do. There's such a thing as self-hating Jews. But why is it relevant to this thread? You are welcome to start a thread on the subject. While the rest of the people studied every day of...

That's the third question. The second is: Why would your respect someone who performed miracles? I said "sorcery", not "the devil". But actually, in Jewish thought, it is believed that in order for free will to work, dark forces must be able to on occasion work as well. Why would a sorcerer...

If you say so.

I didn't say that he did. That's true. I find this doubtful, but perhaps you're more knowledgeable on this than I am. I saw that you referred to him as a rabbi on a prior post. He wasn't a rabbi. And probably the reason that you can't find is that it wasn't translated into English. I just...

*Shrug* Okay. I was going to answer once you answered some questions which I thought were important to understand where your question was coming from. Evidently you don't care about that. I mean, you could have asked why I was asking you questions. I suppose we'll walk our separate ways now. Bye.

I didn't ignore it. I wanted some background info before answering it. Is that possible?

Sorry, but I have no idea what you're trying to say. Korman's view came from not believing in the supposed mystical capabilities of Jesus and his students and barely trusting anything in the NT. Which is basically what the rest of modern NT scholarship holds.

@American Gothic your posts on this thread make me miss the old CARM forums a little. Back when it was possible to post some Jewish traditions about Christianity on the Jewish sub-forum without being bombarded with irrelevant or barely-relevant posts. Sorry, man. We had some good discussions on...

You are welcome to make a thread on that topic. This particular view of yours is off-topic here.

Would you? If so, why? And if that person is not a Christian? I don't know based on what you're saying this. IF they happened (and that's a big if), I suspect they were a form of sorcery. Of course, it might have been real legit Jewish mysticism. I don't doubt that there are people in the...

Because, for the sake of debate, I am humoring the classic Christian view that Joseph was not the father. You should know, by the way, that while a mamzer ("bastard") in Judaism will have marital difficulties, he is not to be shunned from society. The mishna in Horayot specifically says that if...

I'm sure every Jew who occasionally pops by this site has his favorite "who was the real Jesus?" theory, seeing as we have little faith in the words of the NT. There are also a number of theories about who Paul and the other apostles were. On Shabbat I read an interesting theory I hadn't heard...

Actually, in mainstream Jewish tradition, Jesus was not considered a bastard. But frankly, you'd have to be a complete idiot to think that a betrothed virgin woman that doesn't claim she was raped really didn't commit adultery with another man. I take it you reject the Torah. It was God who...
