Watch Marty Goetz admit Isaiah 53 isn't read in Synagogue
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "That's a shame, that the Jewish people are kept from knowing the
Messiah by leaving out Isaiah 53 from their readings. I cry for them.

"The Jewish people consider Isaiah to be their greatest prophet. Although they
read many of his chapters in the synagogue, Chapter 53 is not one of them.""
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "You spend a lot of time crying, I notice. Not particularly manly of you, in my opinion."
Having a heart
for the lost is a good thing.
Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a
fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter

"This is the effect it had on Jeremiah. How did he give his message? Was he a
hard-boiled kind of man who liked to criticize others and rule them out? No, he
stood there and gave his message with tears streaming down his face. The message
that he gave broke his heart. Centuries later, people of Israel saw Jesus
weeping over the city of Jerusalem when He had a harsh message to deliver to
that city and were reminded of Jeremiah, the weeping prophet, and some of them
even thought Jesus was Jeremiah who had returned to them." McGee, J. Vernon:

Response to comment [from a Jew]: "..."Messianic Prophecies" that are not about Jesus..."
Response to comment [from a
Christian]: [Chair quote: "Let's see now...the most important thing that ever
happened in the world is the arrivals of Jesus, which is 'foretold' (in the past
tense, mind you) in the Hebrew Bible in one obscure chapter in Isaiah. Did
I get this right?] "Well I hate to say it, but you stepped into it. Who was
talking about un-educated Jews? http://www.godonthe.net/evidence/messiah.htm
Messianic Prophecies Fulfilled by Jesus Christ."
He may as well
read Bazooka wrappers (1
Jn 1:6,7).
"Ah, the perfect argument. "You are
blind, I'm not"."

"Have a nice day."
I will. I
