hippyjoe1955 They're not my "silly ideas;" they're the requirements for the Messiah that Jews have believed for thousands of years.
You can't use Isaiah as proof since the people who wrote the Gospels were obviously aware of it, and could have modeled their own description of Jesus after Isaiah to make it appear as if he was fulfilling prophecy. They also get a major point wrong by saying that we are saved by "Immanuel" being whipped, not crucified. Isaiah doesn't mention crucifixion at all, which is a pretty huge omission considering how important it is. Plus, Jesus' given name wasn't "Immanuel," it was "Yeshua." So Isaiah is only accurate if you deliberately ignore the parts where it isn't.
Anyway I'm not Jewish, so if you want to argue Jewish theology, maybe find a rabbi who has a personal stake in it and can counter your objections with scholarly references. As for my salvation, that's between me and God, and is none of your business. I haven't interacted with you very much, but from what I've seen, your behavior is against everything Jesus stood for, and as far as I can tell, the only reason you call yourself a "Christian" is so you can look down your nose at other people and feel like you're insulting them from a place of authority.
Anyway, have a nice day and I'll let you have the last word so you can tell yourself you "won" this exchange.
