"This man (on the right) speaking with Chip was an anomaly. Chip had me come talk with him because the man said he was Jewish.  So he and I spoke for a half hour or more. When I told him I'm Jewisht and through studying came to be convinced that Jesus is the Messiah, he assumed I was joking.  Then he said it would only be okay for me to say I believe in Jesus if I'm making money off it. I told him I left a high-paying job as an Engineer to be a Missionary, so, nope, not in it for the money.  I follow Jesus because He's true.  By the way, the man wouldn't give me his name, so in this update I'll call him ""the man.""  The man said the Hebrew Bible is perfect, ""so why would I follow the New Testament?""  I reasoned with him that all you need is the Hebrew Bible to find Jesus. I even had him open a Bible right there and read the end of Isaiah 52 through Isaiah 53.  He didn't know what to make of that. I told him, ""It's really really obvious, but you might not like it.""  Understand, this man is unusual. The great majority of Jewish people don't consider The Hebrew Bible to be perfect, or even written by God. Most Jewish people are secular in their beliefs. So for him to say he agrees with Moses is unusual.  I reminded him that Moses said that we must have a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, ""for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given you the blood on the altar to purify you, making you right with the LORD. It is the blood, given in exchange for a life, that makes purification possible"" (Leviticus 17:11).  He said we can get atonement through other ways. But I reminded him that God's Word, through the Prophet Moses, in the Torah, says we MUST have a blood sacrifice, and God allowed the place of the sacrifice, The Temple, to be destroyed shortly after Jesus, the Lamb of God, made that final blood sacrifice.  This man was confused. He kept going back to his belief that Christianity was invented by the Romans and the New Testament written by Roman authors to subdue people.  I let him know that the Roman Empire didn't adopt Christianity until the 4th Century and we have NT manuscripts going back to the 1st. The New Testament was written by Jewish Prophets about the Jewish Messiah who was prophesied ahead of time in the Jewish Bible.  After about a half hour he wanted to leave. I offered him a copy of my testimony, how I came to realize that Jesus is the Messiah, but he wouldn't take it. He said, ""I can't take that because I fear the LORD.""  I'm glad this man heard the gospel audibly. Please pray that The Holy Spirit does to him what He did to me all those years ago. The Holy Spirit opened my eyes. And He can do that for anyone.
