yes... but the Hebrews could say "FRED"!
fear the FRED!
here is a related question here http://yedda.com/questions/religion_7359591963130/
Christ is a detail and it gets in the way of the point I was talking about above. The name of g-d and messiah are not key to
"Tikkun Olum".
Like all great truths, the bible has a lot of great points. There is a g-d, but my g-d is not a book. The bible tries to point out what happens when you mistake material for spirit. It is called idol worshipping. Todays idol worshippers come on many forms. To assume that only you understand the bible the way you want to see it has been an idol for centuries and we pay the price for our foolishness with religious tyranny. G-d destroyed all theocracies in the past. It is recorded in the bible itself. Even the greats like Saul, David and Soloman were left with a divided kingdom after they're reign. It is clear that the bible does not recommend an absolute truth. The truth is in the bible, and the truth is learn... but don't use it as a weapon to control the people around you. Others will come to you and ask where you got your wisdom... and then you can explain to them that you found it here... but you still don't have to think the world is only 5000 years old or that Noah forgot to mention microscopic organisms or many of the other holes in the story. The bible is not perfect... inspired by g-d, means it was scribed by well intending imperfect men.
