Jesus is the Jewish Messiah

I guess I'll just (re)post my footnotes to the previous round, now: ootnotes: (1) http://media.sabda.org... (2) Pages: 43-45 http://media.sabda.org... (3) http://media.sabda.org... (4) http://www.ntslibrary.com... - Chronology of the OT.pdf Page 11-20 (5 http://standardbearers.net... - P.9 (6) http://www.arkcode.com... (7) I was surprised to read pros' 'quotation' from the commentary of Rashi to Isaiah 7:14, as I did not recall such a Rashi, so I looked it up, lo and behold, it isn't there. http://he.wikisource.org... http://he.wikisource.org... For those who don't read/understand Hebrew, I found an English translation - http://www.chabad.org...... A bit of digging around reveals that Pros source would seem to be David Stern's comments in the "Jewish New Testament" on Matthew 1:23. http://bgconv.com... I think what happened here is that the word נתנבאית was for some reason translated as "had intercourse", which is obviously false, the word "נתנבאית" means prophesied. It appears that I'm not the only one who has noticed this mistake http://judaismsanswer.com... & http://www.outreachjudaism.org...... & that he himself finally acnowledged that he "misrepresenting Rashi" http://www.biblestudyresourcecenter.com... - Page 36 (8) Here pro quotes from "Rabbi R. Elyyah de Vidas" [sic] (writing R & Rabbi is redundant unless the "R." is supposed to be part of his name in which case it's false/inaccurate). I spent many hours searching for (the source of) this 'quote', I believe I have done far more than my due diligence (which Pro should have done) here are my conclusions: 1) In the comment section, I asked pro to provide a Primary source for the quote. He provided two - both of which, are completely unsourced http://www.messianicgoodnews.org... http://www.arielaustralia.com... (which means that they plagiarized, since I now know that they did not get it from any of vidass' works directly) 2) I searched all of the books by Vidas, Including 2 very old manuscripts of his Magnum opus: http://www.hebrewbooks.org... - Warsaw -1594 http://www.hebrewbooks.org... - venice - 1600 I found nothing even remotely similar to what he is quoted as saying. Though I did find some interestingly ironic things such as: Very harsh statements about "הלוקח סוס מן השוק לרכוב עליו להתגאות לעיני בני אדם" - One who takes a horse from the market to ride upon in order to esteem himself in the eyes of people (Who does that remind you of ?). - http://www.hebrewbooks.org... 3) I finally tracked down the culprit who introduced this fake quote (which has unfortunately been 'quoted' by numerous others who failed to check their sources) - Adolf Neubauer & Samuel Rolles Driver http://books.google.com... They at least provided the specific book ("Beginning of Wisdom" = ראשית חכמה) and a page number (385 = שפה) - unfortunately the specific edition/printing of the book that they claim to have used was a rare 1597 Venice edition/print, which was extremely hard to find (Venice 1600 was much easier) - though I finally did. http://web.nli.org.il... I found that Vidas wrote nothing of the sort, in fact that page doesn't mention the Messiah at all, it discusses the (way and) importance/benefits of eating breakfast (especially/particularly bread), and the ways & importance of studying/learning Torah. I also noticed there on page 385-386 they mistranslate Psalm 23:5 - http://biblehub.com... Apparently, Neubauer & Driver seem to do this quite often http://judaismsanswer.com... In conclusion, this 'quote' from Vidas is a complete and utter fabrication. Here's an English version of the book- if you'd like to check for yourself - http://books.google.com...; Pro also quotes "Rays of Messiahs Glory" as saying that "Rabbi Rashi"[sic] (again redundant since Rashi is an acronym in which the "R" stands for Rabbi) "applied this passage to be messianic" - which is completely inaccurate. In fact, he writes just the opposite. http://www.themillennialkingdom.org.uk... (pp. 225-229).
