Paraphrasing: Teitz - Jews don't believe Jesus was "the Christ", but just another man whose death meant very little Response - The bible says Jesus was, and Jews don't accept that because we're not good enough christians. WAIT A MINUTE! I won't bother to go into the dribble about the bible being the final authority. It was written by men (and a woman, but they took that part out when the early church decided women were evil and undeserving of enlightenment) My books say that Jesus was an enlightened man whose only claim to "son of god" is the same claim we all have to being sons and daughters of the deity. My books were written by men and women also. And some claim divine help in writing their books, but that's not my main point. I can't speak for jews, but I can speak for myself. I don't give a good damn how good christians those calling themselves christians are, I STILL DON'T BELIEVE that Jesus died for my sins, OR that he was the only son of god. And somehow, I don't believe the jews would either. I don't mind if your views disagree with mine.In fact, many pagans respect ALL religion since ALL contain portions of the truth, and I don't think god minds what name he/she/it is called. But don't tell the rest of us that we don't believe in your religion because you aren't good enough christians. And don't try to make proofs based on your book if you don't take mine into account, and everyone elses too for that matter.
