Psalm 110 - A Jewish Perspective

In an attempt to prove the Divinity of the Messiah, Christians misquote Psalm 110:1 as, "The LORD said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies thy footstool,” and verse 4 stating, “You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek." Find out what is the Jewish perspective of Psalm 110. Christians assert that this passage proves the plurality of God and that David is attributing qualities to Jesus that he would not attribute to himself. Namely that Jesus is part of a T

The New Trojan Horse

At conferences and meetings throughout the world, evangelical Christians have been pondering their abysmal lack of success in converting us. Hampered by their spiritual nearsightedness however, they have difficulty imagining that we have any substantive objections to their religious claims. Consequently, most of these Christians have opted for convenient rationalizations to resolve their frustrating dilemma. One of the more popular theories offered up suggests that Jewish people, because o

The True Believer by Eric Hoffer

In this excerpt from the Eric Hoffer's book, The True Believer, we are given insights into some of the sources of missionary zeal. Whence comes the impulse to proselytize? Intensity of conviction is not the main factor which impels a movement to spread its faith to the four corners of the earth: 'religions of great intensity often confine themselves to condemning, destroying, or at best pitying what is not themselves." Nor is the impulse to proselytize an expression of an overabundance of pow

How Jesus’ Grave Was Set With The Wicked

Continued from Part 15 ISAIAH 53:9 53:9: “his grave was set with the wicked” The burial of Jesus How was Jesus’ grave “set with the wicked”? Many Christians connect “wicked” with the two lestai (“thieves,” “brigands”) executed alongside Jesus (Matthew 27:38, Mark 15:27; “5s,” in John 19:18). Other Christians connect the lestai with, “a company of evil-doers have enclosed me” (Psalms 22:17 [verse 16 in some versions]). But, crucifixion was not the punishment for common criminals. Lestai

Should all Christianity be Condemned because a few did Horrific Acts?

According to the New Testament, should all of Christianity be condemned because some that profess to be Christians have perpetrated horrific crimes in the name of Jesus? Answer: Matthew's Jesus declares: "Beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorns, nor figs from thistles, are they? Thus, every good tree bears good fruit, but the rotten tree bears bad fruit. A good tr

Why do Christians claim there will be a second coming of Jesus?

Let us find out the answer to the question - Why do Christians claim there will be a second coming of Jesus? Answer: Even according to the New Testament, Jesus did not fulfill many crucial messianic prophecies during his lifetime. He was neither the singular ruler promised nor did he exercise any regal authority. God promises concerning the Messiah, "And David My servant shall be king over them; and they all shall have one shepherd . . . and My servant David shall be their prince forever" (Eze

Baptists Declare Open Season on Jews

On June 13, 1996, the Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution which called for the Baptists to direct their "energies and resources toward the proclamation of the gospel to the Jewish people." In essence, this puts the force and power of the largest fundamentalist Christian denomination with over 37,000 churches and 15 million members in the U.S.- squarely on the side of bringing Jews to Christianity. But haven't Christians wanted to make Jews into Christians for almost 2,000 years? Why
