The Orthodox Jews have the TRUTH and yet they missed MOSHIACH. I do not identify as a christian in any sense because I was taught of the influence of roman catholic paganism in its religion. At the FEET of HASHEM I learned that YEHOSHUA (rejected by a corrupted roman serving rabbinic council) is The PROMISED MESSIAH. I study from the rabbis while seeking HASHEM to teach me what is HIS TRUTH. HASHEM has placed HIS LAW in Our hearts so that we do not have to ask another what is HASHEM saying to us - YERMIYAHU (Jeremiah) 31:33-34. If we follow the errant rabbis we will fall with them - YESHAYAHU (Isaiah) 9:16. 9:16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, and they that are led by them are destroyed. Recheck what you believe and ask HASHEM to show you His TRUTH. We live the FULFILLED Promises of MESSIAH and are as HE is on this earth with the zoyoma destroyed and all the power of tuma and shatan destroyed. The DESTRUCTION occurred when YEHOSHUA Ha Moshiach destroyed death when HE arose from death. This MESSIANIC REALITY is in the teaching of ORTHODOX Judaism.

There are many requirements to be the Hebrew messiah that Jesus did not fulfill. Just to name a couple, he was not paternally descended for King David (as Christians claim Mary had a miraculous conception ie no father), and the messiah cannot be killed

@@chashmal10 The ONLY advice I can sincerely give you is to ask HASHEM to show you The TRUTH. The vicious way the shatan has attacked this issue for close to 2000 years and has made people suffer because they followed their "teachers" cannot be cleared up with a few comments on this platform. We live The BLESSIG of Being One with The MOSHIACH and we Bless the Jewish people who gave us the Blessing while we are saddened at their loss.

@@ktermalkut8332 you did not address the points I made. Also, please leave us alone.

[@ktermalkut8332]

@@chashmal10 Why should I address your MAN MADE POINTS? HASHEM has placed His LAW IN OUR HEARTS - and we don't depend on humans. Read YEREMIYAHU (Jeremiah) 31:33-34. Look at the state of the Jews who chose to obey humans? They are being destroyed just as the prophet said, by following those in error. ISHAYAHU (Isaiah) 9:16. Maybe you should question why The TORAH tells you in Davarim that if you OBEY HASHEM you will NOT SUFFER. Then why the suffering of the Jewish people? Your rabbis are lying to you if you listen to them instead of the DEVAR HASHEM The WORD of HASHEM Who is ONE with Him. I will always WRITE TRUTH so that those who have spiritual ears may listen. You have FREE WILL to destroy yourself by your choices - DEVARIM 30:19.

@@ktermalkut8332 those points aren’t man made. They are Halacha. I will go with the gdeolei yisrael over some crazy lady on KZbin. Go to your Christian stuff somewhere else, not on a Jewish channel. Bye.
