What leads you to believe that Jews really want to serve the true God? Is this a change from what you thought before?

Is it possible to want to serve the true God and reject Jesus at the same time?

I see. And the King James version? Is it also translated by someone who attacks the true God and the foundation of Christianity? Romans 10: 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God...

Are you saying that the Gospel of John was written in some other language and translated into Greek? If so, what leads you to believe this?

I think Luke 4:18 works as well, "The spirit of the Lord is upon me."

I see. Do you agree, then, that Jews really want to serve the true God? Do you agree that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge? If I remember right, in the past you said something different. It's perfectly fine to change your mind! I'm just asking if that is what has happened.

How does someone want to serve the true God and reject Jesus at the same time? How does that work in your mind? Isn't rejecting Jesus rejecting the true God?

Yes, that would be attacking the true God. The NIV is one of the most popular Bibles in the English-speaking world. Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2 For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their...

Maybe we're looking at different parts of Israel? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_West_Bank_barrier If "walls" in the prophecy is figurative, then I think the Iron Dome air defense system would qualify as a wall. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Dome

Yes, the translator uses capitalization correctly in Galatians 4:8,9. In Romans 10, Brothers and sisters, with all my heart I long for the people of Israel to be saved. I pray to God for them. 2 I can tell you for certain that they really want to serve God. But how they are trying to do it is...

What do you mean that the translator didn't do it deliberately? Do you believe it is a typographical error?

I see it differently. Hopefully, we can reach gain some insight by talking about Bible translators.

As I understand it, Catholics say that Muslims and Christians worship the same God, so that would be the correct God. Muslims believe that they worship the Quran god. But Catholics say that Muslims worship the Christian God.

Does ccc 841 say that Muslims worship the god described in the Quran?

Yes, the translator isn't always right. Since the translator says that Jews really want to serve the true God, the translator cannot be a Christian. The translator is attacking the foundation of Christianity!

Of course, Jesus can come at any time. I noticed this recently when I was reading Ezekiel 38 because I've heard a lot of people feel that the events in Ezekiel 38 and 39 are lining up for Israel to be attacked soon. Ezekiel 38: 10 Thus says the Lord God: It shall happen in that day, that...

I think it's cool that when it's all over, Daniel still addresses the king with respect Daniel 6: 21 Then Daniel said to the king, O king, live forever. 22 My God has sent his angel, and has shut the lions' mouths.

Do Catholics say that Muslims are completely correct when Muslims say that they worship the god described in the Quran?

I hear what you're saying, and I think something different. Hopefully as time goes by we will come to understand each other better!

We have a clue to what the translator thinks. In English, the convention is to capitalize the word "God" if the writer thinks it is referring to the true God. A false "god" is not capitalized. We can see that the NIRV follows this convention in this example here 8 At one time you didn’t know...
