I have converted to Christianity

Romans 11:1

"I ask then: Did God reject his people? By no means! I am an Israelite myself, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin."

Yes he didn't reject his people but his people rejected him

Nigga you do know that you have to accept the Old Testament if you wanna be Christian

This is true, but yet there is no mention of Yeshua in the OT, only Yeshua mentions the OT.
Not the other way around.

Marcion is perhaps best known for his treatment of Scripture. Though he rejected the Old Testament as the work of the creator God, he did not deny its efficacy for those who did not believe in Christ. He rejected attempts to harmonize Jewish biblical traditions with Christian ones as impossible

 

[2025cel]

Si, I know

I don't know why people take Greek translations too seriously

 

[thales20]

Yes he didn't reject his people but his people rejected him

Doesnt change the fact that he was a jew.
Being a jew has nothing to religion, its about cultural and physical traits. Just like being caucasian has nothing to do with being christian.

And you didnt answer my question on why should I believe in the new testmony if the old one was fake.

Tales

Tales

Not necessarily, not necessarily true either.
He just wanted a larger audience to preach towards. He didn't reject the OT.
Same as when God killed the Jewish carnists, it makes no sense because it's not mentioned. Yet it does work factually in reality.

It will be a long talk but I can explain lots of prophecy and foreshadows that specifically fits Yeshua

 

[JeanneDArcAlter]

[thales20]

The OT mentioned Jesus specifically?

Not specifically but kinda is REALLY detailed about him and considering this was written hundreds of years before his birth, theres literally no way you cant say this was inspired by the Holy Spirit

Micah 5:2 – "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel..."
Matthew 2:1 – Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

Isaiah 7:14 – "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel."
Matthew 1:22-23 – Jesus' birth by the Virgin Mary fulfills this prophecy.

Isaiah 53:3-5 – "He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering... and by his wounds we are healed."
1 Peter 2:24 – Jesus bore sins on the cross

Zechariah 9:9 – "See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey..."
John 12:14-15 – Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey.

Zechariah 11:12-13 – "...they paid me thirty pieces of silver."
Matthew 26:14-16 – Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.

Exodus 12:5-7 – The sacrificial lamb without blemish, whose blood protects from death.
John 1:29 – Jesus is called "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."

Numbers 21:9 – Moses lifts a bronze serpent for the healing of those who look at it.
John 3:14-15 – Jesus is lifted on the cross for salvation.

Psalm 110:4 – "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
Hebrews 7:17 – Jesus is compared to Melchizedek as eternal priest and king.

How can it be so?

I don't like the term trinity but

the concept of God in different identity or forms or symbols in three different is also foreshadowed and mentioned in the old testament.
