Proof?

 I heard a Yoshke freak give a proof [smugly, if I may say so] that Yoshke is Messiah. 

Here goes. 

1] Messiah is born of a virgin women, as the Tanach says. 

2] Yoshke was born of a virgin. 

Yay! Yoshke is Messiah. He could not FATHOM how people couldn't accept that and other "proofs". 

Well, it says nowhere that Moshiach will be born of a virgin. The pasuk [Yehsayahu 7-14] is famously mistranslated. A virgin is a בתולה [as in the "בתולה Islands"] while the pasuk says עלמה which means young lady. 

There is also zero proof that Yoshke was born of a virgin [besides a fertile imagination. Pun intended]. 

So they make two false assumptions [in addition to other many false assumptions], kill lots of people for not converting and thereby invent a religion. 

Wow!! Convincing!!!   🤣🤣🤣

Mussar Haskel:

1] Question your assumptions. Many are liable to be false. 

2] Before you believe in a religion - it is worth actually reading the text/s the religion is based upon in the original.
