They’re Jews commenting on a Jewish book and not Christians commenting on a Jewish book, so, there you have it...

The books are books inspired by God and are about God. They belong to no group. In God's eyes, there are no Jews, no Gentiles, no heathen, no pagans, nor any other designation. We are all God's children reproducing Him. When we genuinely love (agape) we are born of God and know God, period.

That’s your take on it...

That is just no where close to what the bible teaches, there is no covenant for Gentiles, there is only a covenant for Gentiles who join God's religion, and this has always been the way when a Gentile takes hold of the Sabbaths and feasts, he takes hold of the covenant like Isaiah 56 teaches all Gentiles and those promises to Gentiles don't just go away because you don't want to believe them.

Well, to be fair to Mystic, all our beliefs are strictly speaking our "takes" on what going on here since God doesn't magically drop out of the sky and say, "You're right and you are wrong." Be nice if He did.

I see no divine inspiration in the Bible. All I see are it's few good bits of advice (Be nice to your neighbor) and its thousands of errors. Others here think it's God Himself talking. The only confirmation they have that they are right is a little voice inside them that says "I am the Holy Spirit and you are now filled with me."

Either Isaiah 53 is about Jesus, or the story of Jesus was in part invented out of Isaiah 53.

Mmmh, tough one.

As I pointed out, there are apostles that disagree. I take their word for it over you.

Come to Jesus, Richard. Come to your Messiah.

How demeaning and condescending.

"Nice" codger, indeed.
