#22Think about what you are. Your world is basically the state of your brain at this moment in time. A moment later, it will have changed. It's not the same brain anymore, ever so slightly. Yet, you perceive yourself as continuing. When you lose consciousness or sleep, you seemingly skip over some parts of time. To you it seems continuous, you're okay with the lost time.

There is an overwhelming amount of physical and documented evidence of the old testament and new testament folks. Here is the last (2) paradoxes that remain. Babel is where political correctness, the bane to truth, began. We as believers have not atoned for nor corrected the hubris in our rational(logic) beliefs that man is superior to god. Service to those in need will clear this up for you, on a person basis.
The second paradox that must be "atoned for" is the fact that nowhere in the new or old testament does the scriptures authorize "Christians" to stop celebrating all of those old testament (Jewish?) feast days. It's an insult of the law and god is not pleased with Christians that abandoned those days of celebration. Religious celebration is how we show God we love and honor what he has does for us.
IT was and continues to be a 'business' decision by the Catholic Church and most modern day (Christian) religions. Besides, If Christians returned to honoring the law (the OT) then Jews would be much more amicable to embracing their brothers of the law.
Like it or not, the past is a problem; but both Jews and Christian anxiously away Messiah and an emphasis on the OT does not marginalize the gift of Jesus Christ; never has and never will. How and when Jews embrace Jesus, is between then and god. Besides there are probable more messianic Jews than Torah Jews that truly believe. Most are secretive about it.
