Attacking the messenger and not the message

Attacking the messenger and not the message

It is sad that Barbra Miner resorts to the old ploy of attacking the messenger and not the message. Yes, I was upset and passionate about the presence of Jews for Jesus, Messianic Jews—also known as Hebrew Christians— and other missionaries at the Celebrate Israel Festival. But Barbra failed to share the essence of our discussion. When I asked Barbra if she had informed the Festival officials that her group believed in Jesus, she responded that she specifically told them they believed in the “Je

The Challenge of Missionaries and Cults

What is the Challenge of Missionaries and Cults? Let's find out in this post. Jews for Judaism is the only international, full-time counter-missionary, counter-cult, educational, outreach and counseling organization dedicated to countering the multi-million-dollar efforts of deceptive missionary and cult groups that target the Jewish community for conversion.

Christ at the Checkpoint Conference 2014

After the flood there was a tower called Babel and… We can rest assured that when G-d makes a promise, G-d keeps it. The ills of confusion cast upon the world under Nimrod’s earthly authority remain to this day in ever-changing voices representing an ever-changing language: the Church. With over 33,000 Christian denominations in 238 countries, pulpits are bound to vary in nuance, but there is one in particular that stands out and they are self-titled Messianic Jews.

Why Jews and Christians Deplore the Tactics of “Hebrew-Christian” Missionaries

Why Jews and Christians Deplore the Tactics of “Hebrew-Christian” Missionaries

Many missionaries are sincere and open about their aims, and we certainly respect the rights of individuals and organizations to proclaim their heartfelt beliefs. But why do Jews and Christians deplore the tactics of Hebrew Christian missionaries? The Christian missionaries we refer to in this pamphlet, however, are proselytizing primarily to Jewish people, and are declaring that they are the repository of authentic Judaism . . .

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

Missionary Claims #1

Missionary Claims #1

Claim #1: Jews can retain their Jewish Identity once they convert In their attempt to convert Jews, missionaries claim that one can remain Jewish while practicing Christianity. The use of terminology such as "Messianic Jew," "Hebrew Christian," and "Jews for Jesus" is but a deceptive attempt to represent converted Jews as Jewish.1 In fact, missionaries even go so far as to claim that a Jew who accepts Jesus (or "Yeshua," as they call him) is a "completed Jew," implying of course that all other
