I have a Jewish translation, but it’s the interpretation that makes the difference. How do you know that the way the Torah is read by Jews is correct? By the Oral tradition. Have you taken the time to study that? Have you taken the time to walk out Torah in letter and in Spirit? Christians aren’t interested and they don’t have to.

I don’t have to accept anybody as messiah. Keep in mind that just because you are a messiah doesn’t mean you are God.

Moses was a messiah, but he was careful never to declare himself God or allow his followers to do declare him such. You can have the Spirit of God on you, but that does not make you God. You can speak on God’s behalf, but that does not make you God. You have to know the difference between the message and the source of it and the messenger.

Man has a very difficult time accepting a God that is beyond time and space and can only be seen with the soul not the physical eyes. You can’t put God in a box because He is infinite. He isn’t even male or female because he is beyond the physical and gender/sex. So man’s imperfect mind comes up with ways to get around that which ends up as idolatry.

When God’s soul touches yours you’ll never the same. When you see anthropomorphisms of God that doesn’t mean He’s physical. Even Hebrew, as good as it is, cannot even begin to truly describe the vastness of His being.

God is perfect and His Torah is perfect, eternal and is not allowed to added to. There are numerous verses that say that. To say that he made a mistake when he wrote it means that He is a fraud.

For the past 2,000 years people have tried to come up with additions and new revelations but those aren’t allowed. It doesn’t matter if it is the New Testament, the Koran, the Book of Mormon or others.

There is one God and one Torah and one people to lift up the rest of us to Him so we can have a close relationship with Him. It’s up to us to accept the Torah as is and the understanding of it as it has been passed down via the Oral Tradition from Moses to the 70 Elders, to the Pharisees, and to the rabbis of today.

And the icing on the cake is to have our souls be touched by the Spirit of God (a mikvah or baptism in His Spirit) so that we can live out His will in balance with what is written.

How does an itinerant person of the Jewish faith receive atonement?

After the destruction of the Temple on Zion in AD 70, where do itinerant Jews go for their sin offerings? For example on the Day of Atonement there is one bull as the high priest’s offering, and a young male goat on behalf of the community. Where are the descendants of Aaron?

How is this done today? Where is the place of sacrifice today? Where in Torah are you relieved of blood atonement?

These are laws YHWH instituted. And as you said, His Law is perfect. So how do you practice thus perfectly?

>>Moses was a messiah<<

Where do you get that notion from?
