israel - Jews for Judaism (Page 3)

Who is the narrator in Isaiah 53?

Who is the narrator in Isaiah 53? Who is to be astonished by the ascendancy of he who was formerly despised? Let's find out. Answer: This is clarified in chapter 52:15, in which God, whose particular message concerning the servant began with verse 13, poignantly targets the narrator's identity. That verse declares: "So shall he startle many nations, kings shall shut their mouths because of him; for that which they had not been told them shall they see, and that which they had not heard shall t

Israel’s Relationship with God

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 were brought to bear against the

The Foundation of Scripture

It is 2000 years now that Christians have been striving to persuade the Jewish people to join them in their faith.

Why is Israel Targeted by Missionaries?

Evangelical Christians -- those who fund and support the work of "Messianic Jews" -- see the world as being divided between those who are lost and those who are saved, and believe that Jesus is the only ticket out of hell and into heaven. While this view applies to all people, the New Testament places a priority on the conversion of Jews, stating that its message represents "the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first, and also to the gentile" (Romans 1:16).

Responding to Missionaries and Cults On Campus and in Israel

Many college students and students "doing their year" in Israel have contacted Jews for Judaism to speak about run-ins they have had with missionaries and cult recruiters. It may have been someone they met on the street, at a cafe, in the library or cafeteria or over the Internet, and often, at college, by a roommate, dorm-mate or new "friend" from class. It is often referred to as "friendship evangelism". A Jewish student is befriended by a warm and outgoing Christian recruiter. As rapport an

Originally posted on www.aish.com The warmed, recycled air of the plane was like a tunnel between two tundras, Misha Kapilov* reflected as he disembarked. Gone were the sights and sounds of the life he had left behind, first in Kiev, then in Israel. Bienvenue au Canada read the sign as the frigid air pulled him into the terminal with an urgency.
