61. Isaiah 7:14
Unworthy Servant ,   USA   (02.21.09)
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.
62. A Few Old Testament Descriptions Of The Messiah
USABorn   (02.21.09)
The Messiah would be born of a virgin (Isa. 7:14; fulfilled in Matt. 1:22,23) The Messiah would be born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2; fulfilled in Matt. 2:5,6) The Messiah would be "called out of Egypt" (Hosea 11:1; fulfilled in Matt. 2:15) The massacre of innocent male children (Jer. 31:15; fulfilled in Matt. 1:16-18) The Messiah would be preceded by a messenger (Isa. 40:3; fulfilled in Matt. 3:3) The Messiah's work would begin in Galilee (Isa. 9:1,2; fulfilled in Matt. 4:12-16) The Messiah would take "our infirmities" (Isa. 53:4; fulfilled in Matt. 8:17) The Messiah would teach by parables (Psa. 78:2; fulfilled in Matt. 13:34-35) The Messiah would enter Jerusalem on a donkey (Zech. 9:9; fulfilled in Matt. 21:1-10) The Messiah would be sold for 30 pieces of silver (Zech. 11:12; fulfilled in Matt. 27:9) Lots would be cast for the Messiah's clothing (Psa. 22:18; fulfilled in Matt. 27:35)
63. Mark Wilson in US:Permit me to correct some your errors
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (02.21.09)
First of all, as a Roman Catholic that believes in Jesus, and everything Christianity stands for, the abominations of the Church cannot be overlooked. In reading the talkbacks, very few attack Jesus per se. They attack the audacity of the Vatican to be 'irked' by the comments of a comic. So be real-if you can't stand the heat, then the Vatican should not attack every time it has the chance. As for a "Christian" US, I do recall our Constitution describing quite clearly a separation of church and State! The existence of Israel is not due to our tax funds, but to the determination of her citizens. Most of my Catholic friends view Israel not as you do but realistically the first line of defense against Islamic extremists looking to destroy everyone and everything that does not suit them - even their own people. So grow up and see what is really going on. And again, I would suggest you get a copy of the Constitution, even a Reader's Digest version to assist you.
64. Christian Arabs?
Dani ,   Israel   (02.21.09)
Oh God, now we have to deal with them in addition to Muslim Arabs?! Who cares what they think? This is our country, this is a Jewish country, the rest lives here only because we let them, but they should get ready to go to their Muslim brothers in Gaza and West Bank so we have only Jews in this country who really deserve to live in Israel.
65. paqid , the self hating christian missionary
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.21.09)
is again trying to deceive TRUE Jews with his FAKE "Orthodox Jew" . Christians are "arrogant" for you , at least they say they are Christians , contrary to you who hide your christianity behind a stolen Jewish name and deceiving writings
66. What a hate Sarah generates
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.21.09)
You see Sarah : qui seme le vent recolte la tempete . Look at this # 43 , he exceeds all limits , talks stupidity , but you deserve a little bit of his venom , a very little bit .
67. Aussie in # 43 . What are you telling ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.21.09)
Sarah denies the Holocaust ? A disgrace to Judaism ? Anti semitic ? Are you sane ? She , at least dislikes Christians , maybe even hates them as i think . But a Holocaust denier ? she ? It's probably because your head is upside down that you think it ! And i often disagree with her .
68. #51
Ben ,   Gush Etzion   (02.21.09)
We are worth every penny the USA gives us, we are the guinea pigs who battle test every pice of equipment in battle for you. We are your only true ally in this part of the world who lets your soldiers bring crosses and bibles and have christian services on our soil unlike the ungrateful Saudis. We do not destroy your churches or shrines. We allow freedom of religion. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Your freedom in America is due to our generosity in praying for your welfare. It is G-d Almighty and Him alone that allows you to continue in your way of life. America's way of life is about to CHANGE, we will pray for you and pray that the Manchurian Candidate you elected does not harm your way of life!
69. Apologies for expressing dot that a virgin can give birth
Saul   (02.21.09)
and a man can walk on water? Maybe get some proof, only then we can put it in the same category as a documented, witnessed and confirmed fact of the Shoah.
70. 50, 54 - the charlatan judaizer speaketh
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.21.09)
so, have you found anyone of any credibility to endorse your aberrant teachings yet? let's make it easier for you - find anyone, jewish OR christian, of any credibility who endorses your teachings. we're STILL waiting.
71. #56 Jesus was(?) a charlatan, what kind of dumb are you?
(02.21.09)
72. TV Station & host should apologize. NOT Peres
Australian Guy   (02.21.09)
This is matter of content, aired by a commercial media company in Israel. Yes, I see for and against with this incident. However I cant see how the Israeli President should be apologizing! That's stupid.
73. # 49 : Pack Mary and Jesus !!!
Christian ,   USA   (02.21.09)
lol!!! Ok we'll make a deal, you do the packing and we'll do the shipping. I'm going to really enjoy watching you trying to fit Omnipresent Jesus in a box.
74. Israel is for JEWS
David ,   ,Israel   (02.21.09)
There are tons of "Christian" nations in the World. If these people don't like what they see on our JEWISH TELEVISION STATIONS, then they should leave to one of the many "Christian" countries out there. The lands of Israel belong to JEWS and Israel is a JEWISH NATION, the one and only. If you don't like it, then LEAVE.
75. Incredible!
Ram ,   London   (02.21.09)
Agreed that some of the comments against christians are unwarranted. However, this guy has "apologised" for heaven's sake! Whether he should have or not can be debated ad infinitum and there will always be two sides to the story. Now; is this reaction by "arab chritians" in the manner adopted in the reaction to the Mohammed cartoons? Are we seeing a pattern here from "arab" chritians? Isn't this reaction over the top? Let's all lighten up.
76. Christian Love/Islamic Peace... Until
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (02.21.09)
Uppity Jews refuse for Torah (Judaism) to be displaced by NT & Jzeus supersession, the authentic documenting counterfeit Christian claims and, presto, Christian "love" explodes to the surface. Not only that, the same mentality of Torah-rejecting Edomite "Jews" still tell you the Christians really love you so not to worry; just like preceding the Shoah. Look what that voice cost you and you still put up with it. Uppity Jews refuse for Torah (Judaism) to be displaced by Quran & Mohammad supersession, the authentic documenting counterfeit Islamic claims and, presto, Islamic "peace" explodes to the surface. These are the two roots of misojudaism. See how easily they can be made to explode to the surface with all of the venom of the 4th-century Church, pogroms, Inquisition and Shoah; and Islam is no different.

77. Arie Bagolan # 20 , is it the snow
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (02.21.09)
that made you see christians , churches and xmas trees in Petach Tikva ? I did'nt see any church here , did'nt hear any bells of a church either . Did you ?
78. 44 - what's there to be afraid of?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.21.09)
it's not like the holocaust is an opinion. it is a fact that is easily proved and people speaking against it just show themselves to be what they are. besides, this western problem with islam the inability to directly confront it stems from muslims calling for the same protection of negative speech against their religion on the same basis of criminalizing anti-holocaust speech. and they speak against the holocaust anyway (while no one can say anything at all against islam). anti-holocaust speech has done practically nothing while anti-islam speech is tying the west in knots. free it all up, i say. as long as it doesn't incite to violence, i'm all for it.
79. Charles in Petach Tikva
Arie ,   BaGolan   (02.21.09)
You need to read your own posts before commenting. It must be the inherent Central leftism
80. To Charles in Petach Tikva - My apologies!
Arie ,   BaGolan   (02.21.09)
81. Shlein is a private citizen, not a state official
Ilan ,   Ariel   (02.21.09)
There are laws about what can be broadcast, but the call for the State to formally apologize for the statements of a private citizen is ludicrous.
82. stupid. It should be taken in the context
Jo   (02.21.09)
It was to show how offensive it would be to say such remarks concerning the holocaust (it never happened etc) Arab Christians are making a noise for the sake of it as many non Arab Christains know, and a neither offended and understand the context. An excuse for a fuss
83. Lior Shlein on Israeli teevee channel 10...
Erastus CoupeDeVille ,   Ong's Hat, NJ USA   (02.21.09)
just a shmuck on a picayune teevee station... sorry, I couldn't find it on my cable tv listing.
84. Comedian
Marilyn ,   USA   (02.21.09)
If he was looking to protest something or such, he did not make this clear in any way. It came off that he was trying to hurt Christians in general for no particular reason and was willing to make up things in order to do so.
85. Mary's virginity, Jesus's myths...and facts.
Barak ,   Jerusalem   (02.21.09)
Is it the first time it occurred to Christians that Mary was not virgin, Jesus was not son of God, and no one can walk on water? Have they really bought these myths for 2000 years? Lol, no one can produce a child without losing virginity. Christians should have realized that long time ago. Why facing the facts irritates Christians?
86. to#28
Daniel ,   LA, CA, USA   (02.21.09)
first of all, since when are jews considered a race? last i checked its a religion. 2nd, there are jews all over the world and there always has been, how are we anti-social? because we are so social, and have been spread out all over the world, we have also always been a convienient minorty to pick on. that, and that we are usually sucessfull wherever we go are the reasons we've had so much pain throught history.
87. #53
Daniel ,   LA, CA, USA   (02.21.09)
And that is why no one likes Iran. they will put just about anyone to death for just about anything that doesnt suit them. See in the US and Israel it is ok to say things that might others might not agree with, thats why we, and any other country which allows free speach, whether it has a Christian, Jewish, or Islamic majority, is a cut above.
88. Arie # 80 , this 79 you wrote is more destined at you
Charles ,   Patach Tikva   (02.21.09)
i think . Read what people write before writing yourself .
89. #85
USABorn   (02.21.09)
Do you believe God created the universe or did Moses really part the Red Sea? Who are you to decide what God can do or cannot do?
90. To #81
Daniel ,   LA, CA, USA   (02.21.09)
Finally someone speaks sense! I'm just surprised it took so long for someone to point that out. Thank you. There are plenty of racists here in America (luckly most look down on them) but the president doesnt, and shouldnt, be asked to apologize for them. Why should Israel be any different? If the country has freedom of speech and freedom of religion, then there is nothing the goverment can, or should, do about it.
