Israel’s Relationship with God

Israel’s Relationship with God

By Rabbi Yisroel Blumenthal It wasn’t always this easy to be a Jew in a Christian country. In the 21st century, the Church’s age-old desire for the soul of the Jew can only find expression in the realm of the discussion. One of the few weapons that remain in the arsenal of the missionary is the scriptural argument. This same weapon is readily turned against the missionary by the Jew who has studied the scriptures. It was not always this way. There were times when the most intense pressures wer

Meaning of The Portion That Jesus Allegedly Received

Meaning of The Portion That Jesus Allegedly Received

Continued from Part 26 ISAIAH 53:12 53:12:  “I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty” There is a great divide between truth (Isaiah) and fiction (the New Testament). To have or to have nothing that is the question.  What portion did Jesus allegedly have and when did he get it?  How is a Christian interpretation of “I will divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty,” where the servant receives “a portion

Chapter 3 - The Seed of the Woman

Continued from Chapter 2 (Genesis 3:15) Some Christians explain the genealogical discord between Matthew and Luke by claiming that the determination of the Messiah’s genealogy is to be different because biblically he is biologically supposed to be different. God declares to the serpent: “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he will strike your head, and you will strike at his heel” (Genesis  3:15). Christians take the verse to mean that a miracu

Chapter 4 - THE FIRST HUMAN BIRTH

Chapter 4 - THE FIRST HUMAN BIRTH

Continued from Chapter 3 (Genesis 4:1) Christians seek proof-texts of their claim that Jesus was born in a supernatural way. As a result, they interpret, “I have acquired a male with [the help of] the Lord” (Genesis 4:1) to mean that Eve thought she had conceived supernaturally, with God as the father of her child, and had given birth to the Messiah. Christians claim this to be a forerunner of what happened to Mary. They claim prophetic power for Eve because, in accordance with Christian beli

Chapter 19 WHO IS THE CHILD?

Continued from Chapter 18j (Isaiah 9:5-6) Who is the child? Isaiah presents many of his messages through the use of prophetic names (Isaiah 7:3, 14; 8:3). In one such passage he declares: For a child has been born to us, a son has been given to us; and the government is upon his shoulder; and his name is called A wonderful counselor is the mighty God, the everlasting Father, the ruler of peace; that the government may be increased, and of peace there be no end, upon the throne of David, and

The Council of My Nation - Scripture - The Law of Moses

The Council of My Nation - Scripture - The Law of Moses

This one is tricky, because of the divergence of opinion amongst Jewish Christians on this subject. Many Jewish Christians consider themselves “free” from the Law of Moses, they believe that it no longer applies on a practical level. 5s accept the binding nature of the Law of Moses, but accept only those laws explicitly written in the Five Books. 5s yet accept the full body of the Law of Moses as defined by the living legacy of the Jewish nation. The basis for this position is the recognition t

What is the meaning of Hosea 5:15?

What is the meaning of Hosea 5:15?

I'm pretty good at answering Christians learned a lot. But I never encountered Hosea 5:15 and how to answer that. Can you please direct me to some material to answer this? Can't find it on your site or Rabbi Singer's site. Thank you for writing. Please correct me, the Christian say that Hosea 5:15 is talking about Jesus being hidden and then returning. I would say that this is a clear example of circular reasoning. They already have Jesus in their minds and the are reading this passage with Je

Is the Term Messianic Jew Scriptural?

Is the Term Messianic Jew Scriptural?

An Essay by Gerald Sigal It was in Antioch, Syria, that "the disciples [of Jesus] were first called Christians" (Acts 11:26). The term "Christian" (Greek, Christianos, "followers of Christos") is formed from Christos, "Christ," and indicates "Christ's adherent's," "those who belong to Christ," or are "devoted to Christ." It results from a common practice of the first century that identified adherents of an individual by attaching the termination -ianos (pl. -ianoi) to the name of the leader or
