I know it is common practice in Judaism to reject the claim made in Christianity of Jesus Christ being the promised Heir of Abraham. Messiah.
I would like to review the claims made by modern Judaism as to exactly why Jesus Christ couldn't possibly have been the promised Heir and Messiah.
Before we begin. I know Judaism does not recognize the NT as being canonical. However, this doesn't change the fact that the NT writers referenced the OT when they made they're comments. Their arguments are valid interpretations of the OT. I will not be asking you to accept the canonical position of the NT. However, I do insist that you deal with the claims of the authors as they reference the OT. These are the same arguments the NT writers made to their reading while never claiming what they wrote was Inspired. They simply claimed their arguments were true to the OT Scriptures. So please do not try to reject valid arguments solely based upon rejecting their writings as being Inspired. After all, you're claiming to be true to the Scriptures yourselves without feeling any need to claim Divine Inspiration.
Thanks
