Sorry, Uri'el, The New Testament is not a "commentary" on the Tanach. And if it is were, the real Jews (not Protestant Christians pretending to be Jews), will tell you it's a horrible distortion of the Tanakh and the Jewish faith to which the Bereans belonged.

True, though it's hard to be too angry at American Fundamentalists when their philo-Semitism seems so much more in tune with the whole bible than the traditional anti-Semitism of other chr*stians. And the Ethiopian Church is a little Judaically syncretistic as well (I've read somewhere that they claim to be the only chr*stian church in existence that is totally free of Marcionism).

Unfortunately, American "Bible chr*stians" accept the TaNa"KH, not on its own terms, but because it's part of the Protestant bible. They seem mentally/emotionally unable to think of a Hebrew Bible without a "new testament" tacked onto it.

Such nice people, but so frustrating!

As long as one remembers that their philo-Semitism is not really "philo" anything but a belief based on the New Testament that it is their divine duty to convert all the Jews to Christ before the second coming...
