Shalom, ~Moses Nachmanides and The Debate in Barcelona, Spain, CE 1263
...This is one from the archives:
The most famous of all Jewish-Christian disputations was between the apostate Jew Pablo
Christiani and Moses Nachmanides (the Ramban).
Nachmanides argued that the central issue separating Christianity and Judaism was not the issue of Jesus’ messiahship,...... but whether or not Jesus was divine.
There was no basis in Judaism, Nachmanides said, for believing in the divinity of the Messiah or, indeed, of any man.
To Nachmanides, it seemed most strange "that the Creator of heaven and earth resorted to
the womb of a certain Jewess and grew there for nine months and was
born as an infant, and afterwards grew up and was betrayed into the
hands of his enemies who sentenced him to death and executed him, and
that afterwards… he came to life and returned to his original place.
The mind of a Jew, or any other person, cannot tolerate this."
Nachmanides told the Spanish monarch, "You have listened all your life to priests who have filled your brain and the marrow of your bones with this doctrine, and it has settled with you because of
that accustomed habit."... Had King James heard these ideas propounded for the first time when he was already an adult, Nachmanides implied, he never would have accepted them.
Todah Raba ( Thank you very much) for visiting this page

Lastly, Care to research the Historical Mar Yeshua Ben Yoseph ask the questions here
Note:(In 1492 The Jewish folks were all kicked out/exiled from Spain)) I assume many on the Boats to the new continent were Sephardi...Jews.
