Dinah,Sorry if I offended you I should have rephrassed those remarks eg "could be the religion of the day was and still is legalistic its very hard to "let go" and believe" pehaps I should have said "the religion some 2,000 years ago adheared to the letter of the law to such an extent the people were afaid to challenge the Pharasees who ruled the people with an iron fist"
The other one was "The Jewish people still deny that jesus was the messiah although today there is evidence close to 50% of rabbi's know that Jesus was the messiah...but have to remain quite about it for fear of severe repucussions".Might I remind you gently that all of the 6,000 Pharesees knew that Jesus was the Messiah 2,000 years ago,I dont think they misunderstood what Jesus was teaching... today many Rabi's secretly believe what Jesus was indeed the Messiah ...my source for that was from a prominent Rabi who said " to come out today and say that would be paramount to flying a red flag at a bull" he said people are not "ready" to receive yet.
Just one thought G-D knows the beginning from the end.
Its not my job to convince anyone it is G-D'sjob
