I already know the Christian perspective, so I'm starting this thread in the MJ forum to ask the JEWISH perspective (MJs and our Jewish brothers) on the following questions:
I'm interested in this debate. http://www.christianforums.com/t7825104/#post65712909
1. I want to understand why our Jewish brothers DON'T see the LORD Yeshua is the Messiah.
And what Paul will say to address their concerns.
2. Why did the Jews see Yeshua as their Messiah in the apostles' day, but don't now?
3. The first apostles and believers were ALL Jews.
Then the gentiles were added through Paul's ministry.
What happened to cause our Jewish brothers to change their minds about Yeshua?
When and why did they back out as the majority?
Or is it a numbers game - there's more gentiles on earth, so as the gospel spread, the gentile believers in Yeshua began to outnumber the Jewish believers in Yeshua?

Mark,
I have enough trouble keeping myself on topic to cover what I need to cover for the debate. If I have time at the end, I'll try to put together a more comprehensive statement of why I generally do not believe in Jesus and why Jews generally reject the concept that Jesus was the Messiah.
Regards,
YM
I also would much appreciate a concise summary of both sides when the debate is finished. This has been a most polite debate and it is welcomed.
I particularly appreciate the knowledge of both gentlemen and Yonah's knowledge of the Hebrew is unparalled, most helpful indeed.
