This program shows how Christian missionaries approach the Jewish Bible with a preconceived agenda and ultimately see what's not there and don't see what is there. This convoluted approach leads them to quote passages out-of- context so they can inject their beliefs into the Jewish Bible. The result... a dramatic misreading and distortion of the Holy Scriptures.

Chapter 37c - THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS AND PSALM 22
Continued from Chapter 37b The incorrect spelling is most likely due to a defective manuscript, a similar error is found in the Septuagint reading. As stated above, most Christian Bibles render verse 17b as: “They pierced my hands and my feet.” This supposedly follows the Septuagint, the Greek biblical text used by the early Christians. The Septuagint’s rendering is assumed by Christians not only to be dependent on understanding the Hebrew as derived from the verb “to dig [soil]” but, in addit

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

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 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
