CRITIQUE of NEW TESTAMENT

CRITIQUE of NEW TESTAMENT


Share this post

Christian missionaries insist that the New Testament is the inerrant word of God and the fulfillment of the Jewish Bible, the Tenach, which Christians mis-name the "Old Testament". In this special 2-hour lecture, Rabbi Michael Skobac offers a critical examination of the New Testament scriptures from a traditional Jewish perspective.

The assertion of christianity is that God's revelation to the Jewish people and to others did not end with the canonization of the Jewish scriptures, the Tanach approximately 450 BCE. The Jewish Bible which we call the Tanach was put together in its final form approximately 450 BCE - we still have it today.

Christians insist that God's revelation did not end at that time, and they maintain that the Christian scriptures which were written approximately between 50 - 150 of the common era. They say it has an important message for the Jewish people.

If you have seen the Jewish Bible, it does not end by saying "to be continued" - that is important to realise. The Church struck a very strong blow for the credibility of their scriptures by  simply gluing it on to the back of a Jewish Bible! What a master stroke! Rather than having a separate Bible, they have the Tanach and their own New Testament, as a separate book - what they did was to put it into one big book calling it the Bible.

I Turned Down A Ticket To Heaven

I Turned Down A Ticket To Heaven

I Turned Down A Ticket To Heaven While attending college, a fellow student offered me a ticket to heaven. All I had to do was “believe in Jesus,” and if not, I would go to hell. I turned down his offer and explained that Judaism requires that we believe in God and follow the commandments. King Solomon affirms this principle when he says the bottom line of Judaism is to “Be in awe of God and keep His commandments for that is the whole person” (Ecclesiastes 12:13). Despite Solomon’s powerful wo

What Skeptics and Believers Can Learn From Noah

What Skeptics and Believers Can Learn From Noah Most people are familiar with the Torah’s story of Noah and the Ark. Whether skeptic or believer, it is interesting to know that many cultures have flood stories. One account inscribed in Sumerian on clay tablets dates to the late third millennium — B.C.E. Dozens of movies portray the story of Noah’s Ark, and some explorers claim they have discovered the ark’s remains in present-day Turkey. There is even a $100 million Christian theme park in K

God Is ONE — Not Two or Three

God Is ONE — Not Two or Three

God Is ONE — Not Two or Three During the long years of exile, the Jewish people lost the Land of Israel, the Temple, the priesthood, the Davidic kingship, and sacrifices. We survived despite these temporary losses because we never abandoned the Torah with its moral, legal, and spiritual teachings. The word Torah means more than just “the law” or “Bible.” The root of the word Torah is “horah,” which means “instruction.” As it says, “to instruct [להורת–l’horot] the children of Israel”(Leviticus

The War of Armageddon Is Not The Apocalypse

The War of Armageddon Is Not The Apocalypse

Sukkot and Simchat Torah The War of Armageddon Is Not The Apocalypse The Jewish High Holidays, known as the Days of Awe, constitute a spiritual progression. On Rosh Hashanah, we coronate God as our King, on Yom Kippur, we receive God’s forgiveness; and on Sukkot [the Festival of Booths], we rise to another level. Sukkot is a time to demonstrate our trust in God by moving from the safety of our homes to the temporary and less-secure dwelling known as the sukkah. In this tiny hut with its ro
