@TheMessianicDrew There are a billion blogs (and apologists) out there 'answering' such objections, but I hardly think that makes them sufficient or persuasive. Virtually no scholar accepts the messianic arguments over 'prophecies' such as Is 53 or about the validity of human sacrifice, but somehow the messianic arguments persist. For me, the breaking point was when I realized that even among evangelicals, many central messianic apologetic arguments are utterly dismissed.
You have to love Judaism. While debunking the Christian postulate they almost start debating each other. The lights are on and everyones home. Good stuff.
I think Tawa Anderson at the Tawapologetics blog has answered most of these questions. His most recent entry even addresses one of Blumenthal's articles!
4 it is written: therefore the lord himself shall give u a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and call his name immanuel (God is with us)
Interesting discussion. Assumes dicotomy, and argues within the assumptions to prove point. Like people living in two dimensions saying G_d lives in three dimensions, and intersection is impossible. OT G_d gives attributes of himself that relate to both realms and intersection of same.

Jeremiah 23:5-6, Isaiah 7:14, and Isaiah 9:6 are messianic prophecies proving that Yeshua HaMashiach is divine in nature.

Because Jesus spoke perfect truth and perfectly submitted to the Will of God it can be seen that He was one and the same as God, indivisible.
