    The key to resolving the worlds problems, sin, did indeed come from the jews.
    His name is Jesus Christ.
    God manifested in the flesh.
    He was born of a virgin.
    He was not overcome by force, He willingly laid down His life as the perfect Lamb to once and for all be the sacrifice for sin for all mankind. He died, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day conquering death and the grave. He offers eternal life to those who believe in the gospel, the good news that I desribed above.
    Salvation by the shed blood of Jesus Christ was offered first to the jew and then to the gentile.

      The fine for sin is death and the grave. Hell.

      He laid down His own life, the perfect human without sin, God Himself, laying down his earthly body, to die for all sin.

    Islam rose out of Judaism? 😂
    Unless you make the ridiculous argument that Prophet Abraham was a Jew as some have in the past. Utterly nonsense.
    “Abraham was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was one inclining toward truth, a Muslim [submitting to Allāh]. And he was not of the polytheists” Quran
    Where is your evidence that Islam was created out of judaism given that Allah The Great commanded Prophet Muhammad to follow the way of prophet Abraham - the monotheist
    “Then We revealed to you ˹O Prophet, saying˺: “Follow the faith of Abraham, the upright, who was not one of the polytheists.” And We have inspired you, [Prophet]: “Follow the faith of Abraham, who turned from every false thing, and who was not among the idolaters.”
    And because the divine Justice to Allah is such that He warned the Muslims (Monothiests who believed Islam and followed the Messenger of Allah peace and blessings be upon him) , not to commit the folly and arrogance and rejection of Allah’s commands as SOME of the children of Prophet Israel have repeatedly.
    And He Almighty on many versus also revealed the wonderful and spiritually blessedly among the them .
    Similarly also are mentioned the nations of previous prophets . again, Allah praised and blessed the good among them and explained where some have gone out of bounds with respect to God’s commandments

      Jews returned from Babylonian exile. G-d fulfilled a prophecy by Jeremiah that after 70 years they will return. The beginning of the redemption is also prophesied, so the answer is YES, Jewish people have once again returned to the Land of Israel as the biblical prophets promised they would. The Hebrew prophets foretold a day when G-d would draw His people back to Israel. Its a process, even when Jews returned from Babylon and had prophets with them, it took some years to complete the rebuilding the temple, 538 first return, Zerubabel takes 2 years to rebuild foundations for the temple, construction was delayed by Samaritan settlers whose friendly overtures masked a hidden hostility (Ezra 4:1-5). As a result of the opposition to the temple construction, Persia withdrew support for the project, and for seventeen years the temple sat unfinished (Ezra 4:21).
      Finally, God sent the prophets Haggai and Zechariah to encourage and support Zerubbabel (Ezra 5:1-2), and the work on the second temple resumed. Four years later, in 516 BC, the temple was completed and dedicated with great fanfare (Ezra 6:16). . So iut takes time, and so now Israel in a stages of redemption. Bible prophets predict Israel would return to the Land in stages. Ezekiel 37 contains the stark and unforgettable vision of a valley of dry bones. The bones come to life in stages: first sinews on the bones, then flesh, then skin, and finally, the breath of life (Ezek. 37:6-10).

      When Jesus was crucified the veil was torn in half, and God no longer requires a temple made by man's hand to hold the spirit of God. The believer of Jesus Christ is the temple and the spirit indwells the believer.
      Unfortunately Israel rejected their own messiah so God place a veil over their eyes until the time of the gentiles ends, when He will take away the veil and they will see, and mourn, what they did to their messiah.
      Also, the catholic church is not true Christianity.
      They are nothing but pagans who slapped Christian names onto their pagan rituals, gods, and traditions.
      True Christians have nothing to do with catholicism.

      If you are Abraham's and Moses's descendants and inheritors then the exile, struggle, lineage, the Promised land and the Covenant with God is yours otherwise not. God said to the Israelites, 'You shall be My People and I will be your God'. Thus they are God's chosen people, His favor rests with them and even though they are surrounded and outnumbered 1:500 by their enemies, they can never be destroyed. If this is not God's might and favor, what else is it.

    According to Torah, Ishmael was born to Hagar and Avram when he was 86 years old (Bereshit/Genesis 16:16). HaShem/GD changed Avram's name to Avraham 13 years LATER, when Avram/Avraham was 99 years old and Yishmael was 13. (Bereshit/Genesis 17:1-5).
    THAT was when HaShem/GD made the covenant with Avraham, and promised him that Avraham and his descendants (the yet-to-be-born Yitzchak) would have "the entire land of Canaan for an everlasting possession." (Ber./Gen. 17:8.)
    The man who is Yishmael's father was named AVRAM, not AVRAHAM. HaShem/GD did not make the covenant with Avram. He made it with Avraham.
    (It's interesting that, apparently, their book refers to Avraham by the name he received 13 years AFTER the birth of Yishmael. It's curious that do not call him AVRAM!)
    The first born son of Avram is Yishmael.
    The first born son of AVRAHAM is Yitzchak/Isaac.
    AVRAHAM also had 6 sons that he later sired with Keturah/Hagar, after the passing of Sarah Imanu. Those 6 sons were sent east with "blessings" but no tangible inheritance from their father.
    Only Yitzchak/Isaac inherited Avraham's spiritual imperative, legacy, land (what is now the State of Israel), money, etc.

They dont know the Blessing God gave to both boys Isacc and Ishmael. Both brothers are genealogy both Jewish but Ishmael is part Egyption.Due to Hagar being the handmaid of Sarah's. To Isacc and Ishmale both had a covenant of blessing given to each and know nothing about it. Isaac was blessed with the land . Thats their problem and Ishmals nature is being a bully.

    You rejected your Messiah who was prophesied to come before the destruction of the second temple. We Christians through faith in Yeshua receive the gift of eternal life through his atoning sacrifice. The promise to Abraham through his seed (Yeshua) that all Nations would be blessed through Him. I thank Israel for the scriptures both Old and New. The whole Bible is thoroughly Jewish. When Yeshua was here on earth he criticized the traditions of men that the Jews held in higher esteem than the Old Testament. The Jews of today hold many books written by men in higher esteem than their book from God….like the Talmud (opinions of men).

    The god of Islam is allah not YHVH. If you connect yourself (as a Jew) with the god of Islam you are just making another huge mistake and going farther away from from YHVH. You are correct in saying Christianity and Islam have nothing in common because most Christians believe that Muhammad was a false prophet because of the fruit of his religion. In no way is Islam a continuation of the Bible Old and New Testament. It may have more in common with the Talmud. Since both religions deny the Son of God came as prophecies foretold in the Old Testament. (Isaiah 9:6) I know modern day Jews think Isaiah 53 is not about Yeshua and Psalm 22 is not about Yeshua along with many other Old Testament prophecy but in Zechariah 12:10 some will realize who their Messiah is at His second coming after the great tribulation also known as Jacob’s trouble. The false Messiah is coming first to to bring devastation to the earth when he “promises peace and safety” and in the middle of it will kill Jews and Christians much like what is happening today but on a larger scale. I am not antisemitic because of my love for the Old Testament and
    the New Testament has promises for Israel yet to be fulfilled. I am looking forward to millennial reign of the true Messiah at his second coming.
