not to mention that on the general subject of the Messiah I showed that there are Jewish teachers who recognize the Suffering Servant as Messianic, which any honest person ought to acknowledge undoes any accusation that Christians made it up.
And now you're trying to drag the discussion off-topic.

And YOU do realize, I hope, that he's arguing with a Christian who is hardly going to be persuaded by an argument based entirely on Jewish traditional debunkery of the claims of Christ that the Church has dealt with over and over down the centuries. He needs to be answered whether he himself benefits from the answer or not.
If all you can do is drag up a link that doesn't really deal with his point then you aren't exactly managing to answer him.

We've had this discussion about this particular link on the thread Bible Something or Traditions of Men, where Purpledawn defended my use of it because I did sketch out the basic argument the link supports and because the entire collection of scriptures is the answer to the challenge, no one or few points being sufficient for the purpose.
Which doesn't make it appropriate to this thread and doesn't excuse your lack of further argument even if Purpledawn was entirely correct (which I don't accept)
