>>9745813Isaiah 53 suggests otherwise. The most earnest refutation I have seen given (by a Jew) is that "one could not truly interpret the word of God so how could one know?"
Of course this logic falls flat on its face when applied to other biblical texts but that's pilpul for you. Also, Jesus was not a Jew, he was Judaen Judahite in the land of Judhaea. There were no *Jews* during this time. There were Canaanites and Edomites, the Phoenicians.
Jesus the Judahite kicked the Canaanite Phoenician money lenders out of the temple. These Cohens of Baal spent the next few hundred years kvetching via the oral tradition because their barbarity was outlawed on paper. Eventually, hundreds of years after the death of Jesus, it was codified as the Talmud which is what the rabbis use to "interpret" the Torah aka the old Testament.
This is thing foundation of the synagogue of Satan and how an ancient death cult that sacrifices its children to BLL with a star of Renpham on it managed to survive and thrive in the modern era.
