Not to mention reading their own cover to cover at one go preferably in a respectable scholarly translation and not one geared to your own sect. Christians really should read a good Jewish translation of the OT. Pay close attention when you get to the parts referenced in the NT. You might understand why the Jews don't see the prophecies the way you do. Angel

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
