What is the Jewish Passion for God?

For centuries the Jewish people have remained true to their dream, their hope, and most of all, their passion for God. Faced with persecutions, pogroms, antisemitism and even holocausts, we have not abandoned our identity, nor our special relationship with our Creator. Passion does not need to be shouted from rooftops. Passion does not require that the whole world understand the relationship -- nor share in it. Passion is a bond of the heart of one to another. An eternal embrace which even dea

A Jewish Passion for God

A Jewish Passion for God

A Jew's passion is for God. The first and most basic statement of the Jewish faith proclaims our love and faith in One God, and our commitment and covenant to serve Him with all our heart, soul and strength. Our prayers are full of praise for the Creator, echoing the joy and passion of the relationship that was conceived with Abraham,and given birth at Sinai. We relate to God as a loving and perfect father, and as a benevolent and wise king whom we serve. It is a relationship with roots in hi

The Legitimate Cause of Jesus' Death

The Legitimate Cause of Jesus' Death

Continued from Part 10 Not by blood loss Presuming Jesus was nailed to the cross, did blood oozing from the nail wounds cause his death?  The Roman method of execution by crucifixion was designed as a punishment to be prolonged in order to serve as a lesson to both the victim and all onlookers.  Since no vital organ would be pierced crucifixion usually caused a slow death.  If the victim expired within a short time he would deprive his executioners of satisfactorily meting out the sentence in

Misconceptions Around The Atonement From Sin

Misconceptions Around The Atonement From Sin

Continued from Part 11 Did Jesus fulfill the Torah’s requirements for blood sacrifice (Matthew 5:17-18)? Under no circumstances can one say that Jesus shed his blood as a sin-offering as would be necessary under the conditions set by New Testament doctrine itself.  It is not true that “Christ died for sins, once for all … so that he might bring you to God” (1 Peter 3:18).  Jesus did not die as a result of blood loss from any wounds.  There was no shedding of blood, hence, no sacrifice!

In the Journal of Discourses, a Latter-day Saints publication, Brigham Young declared: I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as

Does Bible Prophesy Book of Mormon?

Does Bible Prophesy Book of Mormon?

The Book of Mormon purportedly tells the story of two entirely different early American peoples. The first is the Jaredites, who came after the dispersion from the tower of Babel under the leadership of Jared and his brother (Ether 2). This group finally annihilated itself through internecine rivalries and revolts. The second group described in the Book of Mormon is comprised mainly of descendants of a man named Lehi and his four sons, Laman, Lemuel, Sam, and Nephi (1 Nephi 2:5). In addition to

The Stick of Judah and the Stick of Joseph

The basic scriptures or standard works of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are the Bible (consisting of the Jewish Scriptures and the New Testament), the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Bible (consisting of the Jewish Scriptures and the New Testament), the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and The Pearl of Great Price. Of the four standard works, the Bible is held in the least esteem. Therefore, it is strange that the Latter-day Saints (Mormons) beli
