For the 500th time: I am Jewish. G-d does not have a human form. He will never have a human form. That's not what the Messiah is. When the Messiah comes, he will be a man. A great man, but a man all the same.

Old Testament is about how God had to deal with fallen mankind.

Man is sinful. And man is often very evil. That's why "live and let live" will NEVER bring peace. Only God can bring peace.
Yes, really. Why is it so difficult for some to grasp the concept of live and let live? NO ONE on this Earth can claim superiority or correctness in belief as a matter of unmitigated fact. We are all doing our best and our belief system is part of that. If YOU want to believe in the Christian god and religion and its tenets, then go for it. But there is absolutely NO REASON that Abdul down the street can't do the same with his five prayers a day and religious garb. The problem is that you've falsely believe you have a right to believe the way you want while believing others do not. While I acknowledge that true and everlasting peace is impossible, there is no reason to make our lives all the more divided, chaotic, contentious and miserable by denigrating others who believe differently than we do. When you stop putting people into us and them categories, you might actually find you have more in common with different people than you previously thought.

Jesus is the messiah. God is a spirit, and the spirit of God was in Jesus , without sin.

Yeah and other religions have their stakes in the afterlife too. Christianity is no different than any other religion.

Our Muslim brothers and sisters serve the same G-d too.

The Jews referred to God as "the Word." Here, John applied it to Christ.

No, they put Mohammad in the place of Jesus. Mohammad was not God. It is a false religion.

Even the Old Testament foresaw the coming of Christ, the Savior (Messiah) "Emanuel" means, "God with us." Christ was called "Emanuel." This is in the Old Testament scriptures.

The miracles he did were testament to who He was. He said, "I and the Father are One." "If you know me than you know the Father also." There are many such passages that reveal who Christ is. The reason he was crucified was because he claimed equality with God. Then, just as he said he would, he rose on the third day. "Destroy this Temple and I will rebuild it in three days."
