Talk:Israelite

Chris,

You stated in your informative article that devout Jews do not accept Jesus as the "son of God" "but merely a great prophet". I hope you don't mind but I took out the statement "but merely a great prophet". It is Islam that sees Jesus as a great prophet, not devout orthodox Jews who are more likely to see him as a false prophet, because, according to their belief, he taught things that were against the Torah. Both Orthodox Judaism (with the written scriptures and their oral torah) and Karaite Judaism (with their adherence to only the written Torah/Tanakh) see him as a false prophet, if anything at all, and not a great one.

If you wish to see evidence of this, just let me know.

I hope the removal of the statement doesn't detract from your point and that it doesn't seem rude. I didn't see it as a major portion of your text, and I know you are one of the administrators, so I tried to make sure I didn't overstep the mark. I hope you understand my point.
