[...] the concept of an independent and rebellious evil and the "conflict" between good and evil is a post-Babylonian, Persian import which made its way into messianic Judaism, and represents corruption of traditional Judaism

What is your authoritative source for a mythical, pre-Babylonian, Persian"traditional" Judaism which was corrupted by some variant "cult" of "messianic" Judaism?

Most Christians are not aware of how the Jews interpret their own scripture.

The question seems to presume a monolithic Jewish interpretation of Scripture which does not comport with your characterization of Jewish history above. Messianic Jews for thousands of years would certainly take exception to such a characterization of messianic Judaism as a corruption of some earlier, authentic Judaism.

Cordially,

Don't you know the history? And it's not "pre" but rather "post" Babylonian Persioan influence (Zoroastrianism) on Judaism. This is where dualism is introduced among the Jews. You ask for authoritative source? I believe the there is no dualism anywhere in the Jewish canon, esepcially the Five Books of Moses.

What thousands of years? You mean to tell me there was messianic Judaism (as in worshiping Christ as the divine Savior) before Christ?

Ask any authentic Jew what he has in common with any other Jewish sect and they will tell you that they all reject Jesus and consider him an imposter rather than the Messiah. They will also deny that messianic Jews are Jews because any consideration of Jesus as a divine Person is incompatible with the Jewish belief that man cannot become God.
