Missionary Claims #4

Claim #4: Miracles prove the validity of Christianity Some "Hebrew Christians" argue that turning to Jesus changed their lives and that, as a direct result, they have even experienced miracles. The Jewish Response Claims of miracles and of changes in one's life are not unique to any one religion. Converts to cults and to other religions also relate miraculous experiences and events in their lives. The Jewish Bible warns that supposed "miracles" may, in reality, be a test from G-d. A classic e

The Totality of Scripture

The Totality of Scripture

Judaism and Christianity are two different belief systems. They differ from each other on foundational issues such as the identity of God and atonement from sin. Yet these two disparate belief systems point to the same Jewish Bible as a fundamental element of their respective faiths. The doctrines of Judaism and Christianity are diametrical opposites, yet the proponents of both sides of the argument find encouragement in the pages of the same book. It is obvious that only one of these belief sy

Was Jesus a prophet?

Was Jesus a prophet?

Was Jesus a Prophet? Let's find out in this post. A major tenet of traditional Jewish thought is that the Torah is a blueprint for creation. That means that every significant event, even major personalities are somehow hidden within the tapestry of the Law of Moses. Surely, no one can deny the impact the life (or at least, concept) of Jesus has had on world history over the last two millennia. Many Fundamentalist Christians fervently believe this and insist one does not have to look that far in

Chapter 13 - OF MIRACLE WORKERS AND PROPHETS

Continued from Chapter 12 (Deuteronomy 13:2-4) The New Testament claim that Jesus performed miracles is one more exaggeration on the part of early Christians seeking to impress would-be converts. But the assertion that Jesus performed miracles is irrelevant as far as proving anything concerning his being the Messiah. Deuteronomy 13:2-4 declares: If there arise in the midst of you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder come to pass, wh

The Council of My Nation - Law and Chosenness - Christian Objections to Observance of the Law

Christian Objections to Observance of the Law We now move on to address those Christian objections directed against general observance of the Law. What are the Christian objections that have been directed against general observance of Law? What is the truth behind these Christian objections. We find out here. The New Covenant The classic Christian argument against observance of the Law is based on the new covenant passage of Jeremiah 31:30. Christians read this passage as an annulment to th

The Council of My Nation - Idolatry - An Exalted King and an Exalted Nation

E. An Exalted King and an Exalted Nation I recently discovered another missionary presentation which encourages worship of a human. This missionary work pointed to all the references in scripture which describe devotion to the Davidic kings. Psalm 89:28 is quoted where the Davidic king is “most high”. Psalm 72:11 has people bowing to the Davidic king. 1Chronicles 29:20 has the people bowing to God and to the Davidic king, while Jeremiah 30:9 has the people serving God and the Davidic king. The

The Council of My Nation - Idolatry - The Angel of the Lord

B. The Angel of the Lord Let us move on now to those passages in which God seems to be interchangeable with an angel. In chapter 18 of Genesis three men appear to Abraham. It turns out that two of these men were actually angels (Genesis 19:1). But who was the third one? According to some Jewish commentators (Rashbam, and Ibn Ezra), the third man was actually an angel who is called by God’s name. It is this third angel whom Abraham was speaking to and addressing as “Lord”. The Christians argue
