Isaiah 9:6-7
6) For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7) Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this..


I'm familiar with the bible. As I have said here many times, the KJ
version is remarkable literature, beautifully written. The Jewish
passage you cited, however, is not, according to my Jewish friends, a
prophesy of your Jesus.

Perhaps this cite will help you understand why the prophesies were not
fulfilled by your Jesus:

You, of course, may believe whatever you wish. In any event, have a
great day with your family and friends...to me, that is the important
element of Christmas.

Oh I have and I shall. I wish you could too

Well of course, they'd discount the idea of a Messiah. They're still waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

Patience is a virtue, I've read. The only "messianic Jew" I've heard of
is that right-wing lunatic lawyer of Trump's, Jay Sekulow. An actual Jew
would call "messianic Jew" a contradiction in terms, as "actual" Jews
don't accept any bit of your concept of Jesus as "the" messiah.

It's all nonsense to me...there's no way to prove it one way or another,
just as there is no way to prove the existence of a creator or god.

We're having a great day here, too. I'm trying out this recipe a little
later:

No fuss, just a little mess.
