... I have seen ten times more hate and vitriol directed at Jews coming out of the pro-palestine, pro-Hamas crowd in the last few weeks than I saw under 4 years of Trump.
This is absolutely abhorrent and disgusting, especially since all these same people were calling me a Nazi... even though I'm Jewish... just because I am white-skinned... just a few weeks ago.
This is absolutely fucking unreal.
A chapter is not a case. Come on, you can do better than that. There is WAY more than one chapter.
did you read it yet?
I've read it many times dear. Did you have a specific point you would like to emphasize? What is it about Isaiah 53 that you think proves (or supports) the claim of Jesus to the Messianic kingship?

Hey, Apologia is good! Thanks for your efforts.
Let's be honest, you are not looking for evidence. You know full well there is no way to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt which is why you asked the question. You don't need me to research for you. If you are on GAW I expect you to be able to search out the truth. otherwise you are no better than the lefties asking us to "prove" there was no Russian collusion, "prove" that President Trump ___ (fill in the bank) and then claiming that the source of our evidence is fallible. I pray that you realize the Truth about Jesus Christ before it is too late because it is only through Jesus Christ that you can get to heaven.
First of all, I believe Jesus is the Messiah. Secondly, when I say let's play a game, I meant that exactly. If you're setting off into the darkness, you need to top up your lamp with oil. Knowing why you believe what you do is the first step. Conviction is based on information. You're also on GAW. Dig deeper. Isaiah 53 is just the tip of the ice berg, and I doubt it's why you were initially drawn to Jesus. I'm not worried about getting to heaven. Heaven is invading here. I just want to survive to see that lol... Lofty goals.
When I say 'prove it' I just mean present information that supports your truth claim. Proofs, as it were. Evidence. Whether or not a jury (eg. the readers or hearers) find it beyond a reasonable doubt is up to them and the extend God has drawn them. There's always reasonable doubt in a truth claim, but for different people, different levels of evidence suffice for them to accept a truth claim. Check out 1 Peter 3:15. Thanks for engaging. God bless on your journey.
