But it is a place of Worship which is defined as a 'CHURCH' and you can sit there and deny that until you take your dying breath, but it will not change the fact, that your Jewish Temple or Synagogue... Is a 'CHURCH.'

What anti-Christian stuff have I posted?...

I correct erroneous information regarding the Tanakh, which Christians call the Old Testament and is, in actuality, an edited version of the Hebrew Tanakh...There are things in the Tanakh that have been omitted from the Christian Old Testament, things that have been modified and therefore different and things that have been added that are not in the Tanakh...So, who’s actually telling the truth here, the Jews or the Christians?...Our Tanakh is unadulterated, can the same be said about the Christian Old Testament?...It is claimed that the Old Testament is a direct translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, obviously not, if there exists differences...For example, the Isaiah 7:14:

Yeshayahu - Isaiah - Chapter 7

14 Therefore, the Lord, of His own, shall give you a sign; behold, the young woman is with child, and she shall bear a son, and she shall call his name Immanuel.

Here in the Hebrew Scriptures is says that it is a young woman that is currently with child, not that she will be with child in an indeterminate future time...


As opposed to:

KJV

Isa 7:14**Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.


This translation has changed the word “young woman” to “virgin” and has replaced the current time words “is with child” with the future time words “shall conceive”...


So, how am I being anti-Christian by pointing these errors out?...

Another point is that Christians believe that Cain and Abel were conceived and born after Adam and Chava’s expulsion from Gan Eden because of the bad translation of the Hebrew, it actually says,”And Adam had known his wife, Chava and she conceived....”, not “And Adam knew his wife, Eve and she conceived...”, the former translation indicates that the conception and birth took place before the act of disobedience, which makes sense because G-d had told them to be fruitful and multiply after He had created them and before the transgression, and the latter translation indicates that the conception and birth took place after the expulsion..

There are many others...

So, again, how is pointing these things out anti-Christian?...

A building used for public worship, especially but not solely by Christians.

your Temple or Synagogue is a place of Jewish worship. It is a 'CHURCH.' A gathering of God worshipers.

Your Synagogue is a house of God....The Lord's house, and a house of prayer.

Nope, not at all...A church is defined as a Christian building of worship and has nothing to do with Judaism...

Sorry, the definition stands, you don’t get to decide what words mean, they are already defined in the dictionary...

And here is another dictionary definition:


syn·a·gogue
[ˈsinəˌɡäɡ]
NOUN
the building where a Jewish assembly or congregation meets for religious worship and instruction.
a Jewish assembly or congregation.

Mate, it is not I who have decided what the word CHURCH means, Look up the Universal Dictionary.

(CHURCH)…. A building for public worship, especially Christian worship...… A CONGREGATION...….[This would also refer to a Jewish CONGREGATION......A religious service, etc.

Do you Jews hold religious services, within you congregations in your CHURCH?

You should look up "The Church of Abraham.'

If you are serious enough to value the passage in Isaiah, and yet don't believe the Christian interpretation, then please answer this:

What does the sign mean?
