Today, the number of Jewish men and women who are >re-examining the validity of the Messiahship of J____ is very large. (Assuming this makes it past your moderator, who has shown that he is occasionally not above being completely one-sided,) Not as many as you would hope! More Jews today are returning to the Judaic faith of their fathers. I'll leave you to make whatever unknow- ing pronouncements you wish about the Jews' Torah/Tanakh, which was given only to them, as I no longer care to engage in teaching any non-Jew MY Torah for purposes inimical to my religion. The Jewish position is that the Torah/Tanakh make no mention or allusion whatsoever to J____, even though they do discuss Messiah extensively. NO practicing Jew takes the various claims about J____'s status (as a god, as a prophet, as a rabbi, or as a messiah) seriously. >B.
