Please refer to post #57. I never wrote that Jesus critiqued the Old Testatment but rather that "Christianity was a critique of Judaism".

The flavor or tone of what's written might be different but the message of Jesus was definitely a commentary or critique on Judaism as it was practiced in his time.

I see here we have a fundamental difference of opinion. According to my scholarship the Gospels are not first hand eyewitness accounts. I can clearly see that you believe otherwise so I won't deal with that any further.

I wish I could believe in "dual prophecy" but it's just a bit far fetched for me. How many times can a prophecy be fulfilled then reinterpreted to magically fulfill some other completely unrelated event? We want the Bible to be what it can never be. Why should Isaiah or Psalms or Daniel correspond with any of the Gospels? They were never intended to in the first place. Isn't that enough? Do we have to now create the notion of "dual prophecy" to account for the obvious?

Again please see above...

Missing pieces??? That's an interesting way to put it. The pieces were never really missing. At best Jesus was able to bring a revelation that fit with the time he was living in. At its core Judaism is steeped in ancient tradition that is/was unwilling to change. The pieces were there but I think the relevance was missing. This in my opinion is the modern day dilemna of the church, clinging to ancient traditions leads to irrelevance.

I am fully aware of the Christian interpretation but I must argue that it has been mis-read and misinterpreted.

>Key word practiced....and Not a Critique of the OT itself

Again I never said that...

I saw in an earlier post that you embrace a version of Calvinist thought. I'm sure we'll disagree on most things but I appreciate this debate. I come from school of thought that seeks to transcend all divisions and duality to reach the heart of The Great Mystery or "God".
