THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY

Part #1 of a 4-part video series entitled YOU ARE MY WITNESSES:

A Traditional Jewish Response to Missionaries, Presented by Michael Lebovic and Written by Rabbi Yisroel C. Blumenthal.

The Jewish-Christian polemic has always carried a sense of fascination for the Jew. The high drama of the battlefield contest between David and Goliath seems to be mirrored in the theological debate between the synagogue and the church. On the one side, you have the might of Christendom with all of her wealth, magnificent churches and myriads of adherents. And on the other side, you have the wandering Jew with the nightmares of his persecuted past etched into the lines on his face. But still, his eyes sparkle with eternal youth as he wields the only weapon in his arsenal, namely the plain truth, and the spectator gets to see another side of the invincible church. The flimsy foundations of the colossus are suddenly exposed in the pages of these debates.

This 4-part video series brings a fresh approach to this age-old debate. Instead of conforming to the format imposed by the church, this presentation follows a distinctly Jewish pattern. In place of the customary list of Christian arguments followed by appropriate responses, you will discover how the very basis of Jewish scripture precludes the doctrines of Christianity. As opposed to presenting a refutation to Christianity, we have chosen to articulate the foundations of Judaism. It is our fervent prayer that the nation who represents monotheism to the world will find strength and encouragement from this humble presentation

The goal of Judaism Resources is to bring the truth, the beauty and the strength of Judaism to those who seek it. We counter the false arguments of missionary groups such as Chosen People Ministries, Jews for Jesus, ASKDrBbrown, and others. We answer common questions such as: Why don't Jews believe in Jesus? Why don't Jews accept Jesus? We articulate the Jewish position on issues such as the Messiah, Torah, and atonement from sins.

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

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
