      I was just thinking about this the other day. Like.... why do Christians *need* to appropriate the Tanakh? What does it do for them? Why not just kick the whole thing off with "FIRST of all, there was this guy named Jesus..."https://twitter.com/Delafina777/status/1222999872896241664 …

      Like, honestly, while I think that as long as Christians are using Jewish texts, they should acknowledge that and educate themselves, my hope for Christianity is that 1000 years from now our texts *aren't* part of their canon.

      Lots of stuff from Prophets and Psalms that they use to "prove" that Jesus was the messiah. There have to be prophecies if they're going to say he fulfilled prophecies.

      They could make up OTHER prophecies.

      I do think it's broadly entertaining to mock Christianity, as is our prerogative as a minority community discussing a much larger, more powerful and often-oppressive majority. But at the risk of being a killjoy—I do get concerned when it all starts to be taken seriously.

      In this particular instance I'm not mocking Christianity, it's an honest question. Really, I think Jessica's point is better - why do they need prophecies *at all*? But if they DO need prophecies, there's no need to force them onto Jewish texts.

      Replying to @JustSayXtian @Callalily57

      I'm not totally sure I'm in a position to question what I think that Christians should care about, and I'm definitely not in a position to determine whether or not various prophetic interpretations are valid or not.

      And I think it's different for appropriation in a modern context, when we're talking specifically about the interactions between Christians and Jewish communities long after the paths separated. But it's a lot to talk about how an entire 2,000-year tradition is illegitimate.

      Eventually, we're just doing the Richard Dawkins thing, but making an exception for ourselves.

      Also does this apply to Islam

          There wouldn't be the same direct textual issue, but arguably, the Quran's claims that the Torah (along with the Gospels) have been corrupted by their keepers would probably pose the same problem, but more so.

          In any event, I don't think it's up to us to decide what other people read and believe, any more than I welcome such input into my own communities.
