Hello:

Just a note in passing. To call the Tanach or the Hebrew Bible, the OT
is insulting to those of us who are Jewish, and I do not mean messianics as
Jews. Have a great Sabbath.

And to deny that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah could just as easily be insulting to those of us who are Christians...

Offence is only given if offence is taken. I don't think anyone here intends to insult Jewish people by referring to the Hebrew Bible as the OT. Perhaps you need to develop some "thicker skin" and be a little more tolerant of other's equally deeply held beliefs. You don't have to agree with them but at least allow others the freedom to refer to the Hebrew Bible in a way that reflects their own beliefs.

Let's back to discussing the text.


cheers,
Andrew
