If you don’t accept that one piece of evidence then it’s your loss.
There is no book of Acts in the Hebrew Bible.

351 Old Testament Prophecies Jesus fulfilled
I thought an excellent topic for Apologetics is how to counter the reason the Jews reject Jesus. Form SIX REASONS WHY JEWS DON'T BELIEVE IN JESUS:
Reason #1 – The Messiah must be from the Tribe of Judah and a Descendant of King David AND King Solomon – Jesus did not qualify.Reason #2 – Ingathering of the Jewish Exiles – Jesus did not do this.Reason #3– Rebuilding of the Holy Temple – Jesus failed to achieve this.Reason #4– Worldwide Reign of Peace – Jesus did not accomplish this.Reason #5 – Observance of the Torah Embraced by All Jews – Jesus didn’t bring this about.Reason #6 – Universal Knowledge of G-d – Jesus clearly failed here also.I believe a bridge to fellowship begins by saying we can understand how they can look at it this way. However, there is another sense in which the story of Jesus qualifies as the true Jewish Messiah. Thoughts?
Good to see you here!Okay, here's how we know it was Jesus. You don't start with someone else's belief system when you're talking to converts. You start with yours, even if they are Jews. Why? Because their beliefs are wrong and based on all the wrong things, so your goal isn't to prove theirs wrong, your job is to prove yours right...
If Jesus is not the Messiah, then the Messiah will never come. Period.
That is how specific the prophecies concerning the Messiah were.
Do you know how I can say that? The Messiah was prophesied to come during the time of the second Temple.
The second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.
So either we are right, and Jesus is who He claimed to be, or there's no Messiah coming.
Jews are actually pretty easy I would imagine, the thing preventing them I would think is a blindness upon them.
That blindness is total, it is a total blindness. You have to pray and pray and pray specifically for the unbeliever you're sharing the Gospel with.
Pray for the blindness to be lifted, and satan to have no influence over their thoughts so they can think clearly. Pray a hedge of protection around them.
Then you share the Gospel with them. And share with them your faith, don't argue theirs. Ours is the truth, and the truth is all we need to dispel every lie of Satan.
No? That wasn't the reason I bolded the text. It was more for showing him that what Isaiah said concerning Messiah when He was come in flesh? And how the scribes and pharasees, and priests reacted to Him then?The issue is that @Eliyahu613 doesn’t believe Isaiah is even speaking about the messiah in this passage. Bolding the text won’t cause him to change his mind. The text is speaking about Israel corporately being despised and rejected, is his argument.
In other words, ”He” isn’t the messiah. “He” is the people of Israel.

You are doing the same with the Quran.

Hasn't changed since then.
You can't prove to the empirical mindset that which takes faith to prove!

351 Old Testament Prophecies Jesus fulfilled
Even the name "New Testament" is not correct: It points to the new covenant that G.d will make with the Jewish people. Paul claims that this is done through Jesus. Paul says in Hebrews 10:15-17; "Whereof the Holy Ghost is also a witness to us, for after he had said before: This is the covenant that I will make with them, after those days, saith the LORD, I will put My laws in their heart and in their minds will I write them. And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more." This is written in Jeremiah 31:31-34; "Behold, the days come saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. Not according the old covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which my covenant they broke, although I was as a husband to them, saith the LORD. But this shall be the covenant that I make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in there inward parts and write it in their hearts, and I will be there G.d, and they shall be my people. And they shall no more each man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying: Know the LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them till the greatest, saith the LORD, for I will forgive their iniquity and I will remember their sins no more."Furthermore I have gone toe to toe over Jeremiah 31:31-34 (Yirimyahu 31:30-33) citing the New Covenant with Judah and Israel that is entirely unlike the Old Covenant made at Mount Sinai. Establishing a distinction between Old Covenant Law and the New Covenant Law of Christ which the Apostle Paul refers to in 1 Corinthians 9:21.

And I have a lot of Biblical proof that the suffering servant is Israel. Proof from Isaiah and the rest of the Tanach.
And it should be clear by now that there is no proof what so ever in Isaiah or the rest of the Tanach that Isaiah 53 speaks about the messiah.
If somebody disagrees with this, let him bring the proof from the Tanach that Isaiah 53 speaks about the messiah.
Bs"dYou haven’t proved the NT witness is false. All you’ve done is rejected it.
Bs"d
Yes, just like Isaiah.
Bs"dWhy don’t you believe it?

I think this what I have posted before is a strong indication that the NT is a false witness. I'll post a link:
NT prophecies
Bs’d The NT brings us prophecies of which it claims that they are fulfilled by JC.Let us take a closer look at those. The first one we find in Matthew 1:21; “she will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfillsites.google.com
Bs"d“And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying…” (Acts 8:26)
Then he’s a fool to reject the belief of a New Testament saint who was directly spoken to by the angel of the Lord.
