Missionary Claims #3

Missionary Claims #3

Claim #3: Spiritual Salvation and a personal relationship with God can only come through Jesus Missionaries claim that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of G-d" (Romans 2:23), and that there is no salvation from sin or any possibility of a personal relationship with G-d without belief in Jesus. Specifically with regard to Jews, their argument is that Jews have always needed animal blood sacrifices to rid themselves of sin. Since sacrifices were abolished after the destruction of the

(JTA) -- The Shabbat morning service at Congregation Sha’arei Shalom in this suburb of Raleigh has a familiar feel to anyone who grew up in a mainstream American synagogue. Sixty adults and a handful of children have gathered in a sanctuary adorned with seven-branched menorahs and an Israeli flag. Many of the men wear yarmulkes and tallitot; the women are dressy but no

The New Trojan Horse

The New Trojan Horse

At conferences and meetings throughout the world, evangelical Christians have been pondering their abysmal lack of success in converting us. Hampered by their spiritual near­sightedness however, they have difficulty imagining that we have any substan­tive objections to their re­ligious claims. Conse­quently, most of these Christians have opted for convenient rationalizations to resolve their frustrating dilemma. One of the more popular theories offered up suggests that Jewish peo­ple, because o

How do Christians feel about "Jews for Jesus" groups?

How do Christians feel about "Jews for Jesus" groups?

A number of sensitive Christians have condemned the deceptions of groups like "Jews for Jesus." Other Christian individuals and groups have been less sensitive to Jewish community concerns, and Christian churches continue to spend over $250 million annually in the United States alone to convert Jews to Christianity. Most of the missionary and conversionary groups are affiliated with Protestant denominations. For more information about Judaism, explore our site www.jewsforjudaism.org For quest

What You Have To Know About Isaiah 53 Verse 8

Continued from Part 14 ISAIAH 53:8 53:8:   “As a result of the transgression of my people he has been afflicted.” The literal rendering of this verse is:  “From the transgression of my people the stroke [nega‘] to them.”  That is, because of the transgressions of the gentiles the servant suffered. As regards the word lamo, “to them,” grammarians recognize that it is also in a sense singular, “to him” (as it is in non-poetic usage), because it agrees with certain singular nouns. As in this v

Why Jews reject incarnation

Why Jews reject incarnation

What is one reason Jews do not accept the Christian belief that Jesus is the incarnation of God? Let's find out. Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus there occurred the miracle of the incarnation of God in the form of a human being. To say that God became truly a human being invites a number of questions. Let us ask the following about the alleged truly man- truly god Jesus. What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)? Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as

Was Jesus "stricken by his enemies"?

Was Jesus "stricken by his enemies"?

Isaiah 53:4 says that the suffering servant was considered "stricken" by his enemies. Does this describe Jesus in any way? Read on to find out.. Answer: In verse 4 the Gentile nations exclaim, concerning the servant, "we considered him stricken [by God]." The verb appears again in verse 8. This does not describe Jesus in any way whatsoever. The verb, nagua, "stricken," is commonly used in the Jewish Scriptures for being stricken with leprosy (for example, 2 Kings 5:27, 15:5; Job 19:21; Leviti
