I pray the Merciful Allah will have mercy on you and shed His grace and expose you to His Real Word (The Holy Bible, not the Somewhat Holy Quran), and His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who was NOT just a "great prophet" or "Masterful Teacher", but was, is, and forever will be the Eternal Lord of All, including you.
"True Israelites" sounds like a cult to me.
I find it ironic somebody who has a background in a cult-like apostate church (Seventh Day Adventist), who's beliefs and theology is based on false prophet(s), calling True Israelites "cult followers",
Oh, the ironies of this life, they are endless,
Praise Yah
I've heard people say Jesus had a different "father" from the "violent" God of the OT.
YHWH is not violent, because if He was, Jesus would be violent, because Jesus is God (YHWH).
The Jews were always trying to stone Jesus because He was claiming to fulfill scriptures,
He also claimed to be God,
He forgave Sins, and He supplemented OT Laws (Only God can do these things) so Jesus claimed to be God many many times!
By Jesus saying I AM, and using the Covenant name of Yah, He is reassuring He is God
After Jesus crucifixion and subsequent Resurrection, He says to His disciples, before His ascension:
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Yahshua Messiah, Jesus the Christ of Nazareth, born of the Virgin Mary who was betrothed to Joseph a Son of David, is YHWH in the Flesh, Fully Human and Fully God, and the same yesterday, today, and forevermore
The True Jew's who have accepted there Father, and there Messiah, and sealed there eternal fate through faith in the Grace of the Gospel revealed to us through His 66 Book Love Letter,
If Jesus wasn't God then He was insane
Christ was crucified for saying He was God
Pharisees tried to stone him several times for committing acts only God can do
and there's a million other reasons why He's God, but this has been beat more than a dead horse, so I'll let the Truth speak for Himself.....
Was Jesus insane for saying He was God? Was he lying? Did he simply just not exist?
There is no in between,
Jesus is not just a good teacher, He's not just another "son of God" like we are,
He is the Messiah, the anointed One of God, the Saviour of Mankind,
Take your pick,
Either you believe Jesus Christ is God,
Or you believe Jesus was a lunatic, liar,
or simply a figure of human imagination that millions of people have died for proclaiming He was God and gone to the grave holding to that faith and belief.....
If you believe Jesus was just a prophet, why don't you believe in Allah and the Quran? Or why aren't you a Bahai? Or are you just a new age mixture of all different beliefs?
The problem with not having faith in the Rock, and not being grounded and built on the foundation of Christ, is that you will be swayed to and fro with all kinds of false doctrines and deceptions because you have no gold standard, so to speak, to compare things you hear with, so your constantly changing your beliefs, and possibly your morals....
I just care about you and want you to know the Truth and have the best now and in the next life,
And I don't like seeing my brothers in flesh being led astray with all kinds of cunning devices and false doctrines of men
how in Gods name can you compare Jesus with the God of the OT?
Again i have to ask... Have you actually read the OT or the gospels?
Jesus was the torah made flesh...
Islams view of the Messiah is corrupted and contradictory,
I'm not going to delve into it here because other scholars already have and you're on computer on the internet, the information is there, the research is done, the Truth is available, seek and ye shall find,

John 20:17
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
19 “Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that he may send Christ Jesus, who was ordained for you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God spoke long ago by the mouth of his holy prophets.
