Jews cut Isaiah in half? I assume you are referring to the reference (in the Talmud, I believe, as there’s no mention of Isaih’s death anywhere else) that King Manasseh is responsible for Isaiah’s death. I hardly think, assuming we agree this is the case, that the Jews should be blamed for killing Isaiah. Manasseh is condemened in Kings for his behavior. Specifically for bringing back pagan worship to the Temple.

Oh, I agree. But let’s look at the context in which I posted this… (btw, I have slept since then…)
Our dear Ben Mesada, aka “Jew with an attitude”, claimed that only the guilty are put to death by the Jewish leaders.

  		***Thank you Humble Made, I love  you too, although of humble, you have only the name. I could happily  welcome you, but instead of knocking at the door, you broke it down. Of  all your post above, I would like to tell you something about your last  sentence. The one you state that Jesus died for all of us including  myself. Since you claim that everything I say are fabrications and not  sound theories, I would like to give you some scriptures, so that you  should entrust them to your memory. They all say the same thing. They  are: Deuteronomy 24:16; II Kings 14:6; Jeremiah 31:30 and Ezekiel 18:4.  They all say that,

“Only for his own guilt shall a man be put to death.”***

I was simply pointing out that the Jews have a history of putting to death those that say things in which they don’t agree. Isaiah is simply one example. I’m not condemning the Jews, mind you. I’m simply stating that Ben can not stand behind the quote **“Only for his own guilt shall a man be put to death.”

**BTW, I do understand that King Menassah was a rather evil man, actually sacrificing his son if I’m correct. But, have you ever read the prayer of Menassah? It is really quite beautiful. I’ll post it if I can find it. **

Found it.

***I have sinned, Lord, I have sinned and I know my faults, but I beseech you: Do not rage against me, Lord, do not rage against me and do not let me fall to ruin through my sins.  Do not be angered for eternity by the sight of my evildoings nor condemn me to the depths of the earth!  For you, Lord, are the God of those who repent, and in me please show your goodness.  For although I am unworthy, please save me out of the abundance of your mercy***!  From the *Prayer of Manasseh*

*I do so love that prayer! *

Good point re context. Always an issue in forums as most of us don’t read every post that went before.
