Question for Jews and Christians
Jay ay Beee:
Oh shit sorry I'm making a fool of myself now
I got the wrong meaning of the word 'but'
Sorry guys, especially Trauma
But I hope you get my main point now lol Which was about the origins of the Protestant church

The Protestant church really in the old B.C. type sense of religion have any true truth. But it does preach about God, and Jesus our savior, so if it helps a couple of people find God, ten so be it. The Catholic church is the main CHURCH of the world. Trauma, you state that most the U.S. is Protestant, though the largest Christian chuch in the world is Catholics. Now some say Muslum is the largest religion in the world, but that is false because there are 2. something million Christian, if you include Catholic, though most seperate the denomation because they always fight. But Protestant does serve it's purpose as reaching people in the modern era that Catholism can't get. The church serves the modern day sense of religion, and that is the fulfilment of the man. Not necessarily the truth, but the fulfilment of a mans spirit.

Sikotic™:
The reason Jesus is rejected by the Jews is because they were looking for (and still are) looking for a leader that would be triumphant and become King. Jesus wasn't like that. He wasn't rich and he didn't have anything on earth that made him stand out. If you look at what he did at a spiritual point of view and even the Old Testament, he fufills everything he was suppose to do, eventhough he looked like just a comman man.
That's why I don't understand how Jews can't believe Jesus was the Messiah. He fufilled the prophecies from the Old Testament but yet he still gets rejected. Who else has done that? Only Jesus

anyways, my personal christian take on wha i believe to be the question here... at the time of jesus' birth.. there was john the baptist and his whole side movement.. which was not the mainstream jewish belief, tho it did hav a decent following.... anyways john the baptist preached that the prophecy was to be fulfilled and that the son was to be born soon.. jesus was the fulfillment of old testament prophecy.. the prophecies of juadeism.. jesus, was jewish, but he was above the limitations that man had placed upon the jewish religion.. he was the promised one that the jewish people had been anticipating for thousands of years.. as he is, was, and will always be god's son as well as god himself, he wasn't limited to the pharisees (the jewish ruling council of the time, very corrupt, well there was the sagacies(?) and some other groups i think but the pharisees were the main ones) restrictions....the pharisees added tons and tons of rules to the ten commandments and thus corrupted god's perfect word...anyways.. jesus actually followed judaeism...he came from the davidic line (obviously jewish by ethnicity)... the main point is jesus coming to earth was the end of the book of judaeism and the opening of a new one.. the old rules no longer applied.. jesus' birth changed all of that... all the jews now had to do was follow jesus and they were following "judaeism".. hope i broke it down fo y'all.... surry but no offense to trauma, i wanted to break it down from a nonmormon perspective..
