Steven,
I appreciate the posts, in the details that they are. I was hoping for a more simple explanation. I am not a scholar and am too simple-minded to understand what you posted.
I thought a conversation on the subject would be a good start. You have still not answered my question on whether you have studied the Hebrew Holy Scripture. I've heard of Jews who have converted to Christianity and that peaked my interest in understanding the Scriptures of the Old Testament and the Torah. Perhaps this discussion should be moved to the Sacred Scripture forum.
Anyway, I hope to hear more from you and not just long passages.
