The trouble with Christians and the trouble with Jews is exactly the same: both subscribe to the God of Israel, the Creator God the God of Scripture but both have been remiss in actually reading Scripture. The different denominations of Christianity and of Judaism utilize Scripture differently, but it is patently obvious that the vast majority in either camp doesn’t have a significant grasp of the Bible.

The polyglot divisions of Christianity and the arguing factions of Judaism can all be traced back to a lack of knowledge of Scripture. Finally, the crucial difference on the Messiah comes down to that same lack of knowledge.
