Is a "believer" still Jewish?

Is a "believer" still Jewish?

Is a born-Jewish individual who believes Jesus to be his/her "Lord and Savior" still a part of the Jewish people? A Jew who believes in Jesus as his/her "Lord and Savior" has become a Christian. Even if not a formal member of a church group that person is a Christian theologically. The halacha (B.T. Sanhedrin 44a) recognizes the biologic link to the Jewish people as inviolate, but also recognizes that as long as one remains an apostate one is not considered to be part of the Jewish community.

Big Money for "Chosen" Target

Big Money for "Chosen" Target

Why do evangelical Christians expend so much money and energy targeting Jewish people for conversion? It must first be understood that fundamentalist Christians don't just seek to convert Jews; they are obsessed with "saving" the entire world. The Christian bible claims that only Christians can have a relationship with G-d, and all others are consigned to eternity in hell. Evangelical Christians see themselves as do-gooders seeking to airlift a hell- bound world into heaven. However, apart fro

Baptists Declare Open Season on Jews

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

Chapter 11g - THE ATONEMENT PROCESS

Chapter 11g - THE ATONEMENT PROCESS

Continued from Chapter 11f Availability of God’s forgiveness As we have seen, the sacrificial system is a part of one method the Almighty provides for attaining forgiveness of sin. Biblically, a Jew could generally obtain forgiveness through sacrifice accompanied by repentant prayer, repentant prayer alone, or out of the pure mercy of God. A blood sacrifice in itself was never the sole means of atonement, but a portion of a larger process. The prophet Hosea states: “For I desire loving-kindn

Chapter 22j - Nations of the World

Continued from Chapter 22i 53:5: “But he [Israel] was wounded as a result of our [the nations of the world] transgressions, he was crushed as a result of our iniquities.” Christian renderings of the Hebrew text attempt to convey the message that the servant vicariously took upon himself the sins of the people, and this caused him, and not them, to suffer the consequences. This conclusion is arrived at by a distortion of the text. That is, they claim the servant took on the iniquities of other

The Council of My Nation - Preface

The Council of My Nation - Preface

The purpose of this work is to help you understand and appreciate the belief system known as Judaism. When Constantine made Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire, there were many belief systems that held sway in the Western world. There were also numerous variants of Christianity that had taken root amongst the population of the Mediterranean basin. All of this changed with the rise of the Roman Church. From the time the Roman Bishops took hold of the reins of power, they saw i

An Unavoidable Issue

An Unavoidable Issue

Jews for Jesus has a slogan, "We exist to make the Messiahship of Jesus an unavoidable issue to our Jewish people world-wide." If this is the reason for their existence than they might as well close shop. Christendom's centuries old policy of degradation and contempt of Jews and Judaism, based on New Testament models, beat them to it. The repressive papal encyclicals, the tirades of Luther, the economic disabilities, the forced conversions, the expulsions, the enforced isolation of the ghettos,
