Peergint,
It seems as if you really don't understand Judaism and the Hebrew bible.
What you call the "old testament" is similar in some respect to the Hebrew bible.
Isaiah 53 has nothing to do with a messiah or Jesus. If you understood the Hebrew language that would be clear.
I repeat, there is nothing in the Hebrew bible that specifically refers to Jesus, you have been led down the wrong path as have many for thousands of years, but I understand, that's not your fault.
It's not that we consider ourselves good, it is what G-d says in the Hebrew bible. There are those in the Hebrew bible that are called righteous and have sinned, so being righteous does not mean we have to be perfect.
Proverbs 24:16 tells us -
"For a righteous man can fall seven times and rise, but the wicked shall stumble upon evil."
That is just one example.
I don't want to derail Sarah's thread so if you want to discuss this further, please start a new one.
Thanks!
