Hello

[Lilith2006]

I am 17, & have been raised as a mildly religious Jewish person by my Jewish parents. A friend at school invited me to a christian church youth meet. I have been told by Christians that Jesus was prophesied in the old testament, but when I look at some of the prophecies they gave me to look at, I fail to see Jesus in them, & they don't seem to do a good job explaining the logic of how they get from what it says, to seeing jesus in it. I am looking for somebody who can go through some verses with me & hopefully explain how the verses relate to jesus. My parents & Rabbi's don't agree that jesus is the messiah.

The Exploring Christianity forum on this site would be a good place to ask those kinds of questions. This section is a place to introduce yourself. Welcome to CF and I hope you do find the answers to your questions.

Hello and welcome. Glad to have you here and I am sure you will share a lot of old testament wisdom that will make us wiser.

May the Lord be merciful to you.

P.S. do you want to have a conversation about where the Son of God is in old testament? Or you just wrote to introduce your self?

Your parents and Rabbi's are orthodox Jews ... and no orthodox Jews (judaism) don't believe Jesus was/is the Messiah. The Jews who do believe it are called Messianic Jews.

This is all new to you because of being brought up in the orthodox jewish beliefs. Judaism does not recognize the Christian New Testament.

Keep studying yourself and knowledge will be revealed. A little bit here a little bit there.

Welcome to CF! I love to hear that you are seeking the truth. Search with your heart and not your brain and you will find your way.

I think that if you want to truly find out the truth about something, you need to use your brain 1st & your heart 2nd. Using your heart will only give you feelings, not knowledge. Knowledge can only come from seeking truth through verifiable evidence.

I suggest that you contact Professor James Tour. He was raised a secular Jew. He became a believer in Jesus in his youth (he does not like the word "Christian"). He is a Professor at Rice University. He also has a ministry of leading people to Jesus. If you look up his CV, you will find that he is one of the world's great scientists. He will always make time to help those who genuinely want to know the truth. He is happy to talk with you on Zoom. Tell him that Peter from Australia recommended that you speak to him, if you will.
