Analysis of Jesus Claiming To Be Pure And Sinless

Continued from Part 21 Making the unsuitable suitable New Testament style It is alleged that Jesus was spiritually pure and sinless and that his supposed sacrificial death was prefigured in the Jewish Scriptures by images and types (e.g. Isaiah 53, Psalm 22).   But who says he was spiritually pure and sinless?  Who says his death was prefigured in the Jewish Scriptures?  Only the tendentiously self-serving authors of the New Testament and their adherents!

Every Shavuot is a New Level of Revelation

Every Shavuot is a New Level of Revelation

This past Sunday, exactly 3,330 years ago, G-d addressed our ancestors whom He had brought out of Egypt and told them, in the 'voice of G-d,' the first two of the Ten Commandments. This event, which they all experienced, changed us from a family of tribes into the Jewish nation. Matan Torah, the giving of the Torah, was a magnitude of revelation of G-d that never happened before or since. Here we learned that G-d cares and is involved in what we do. G-d has a plan to make this physical world a

Unmasking Jews for Jesus

Unmasking Jews for Jesus

Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews claim that what they’re doing is 100% Jewish... the most Jewish thing anyone can do. However, calling it Jewish doesn’t make it Jewish. “How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four! Calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg.” ~Abraham Lincoln Jews for Jesus and Messianic Jews are following Evangelical Protestant Christianity. Their beliefs are not Jewish and have no relation to Judaism. On every basic issue of theology, Jews for Jesus and

Chapter 11a - THE ATONEMENT PROCESS

Continued from Chapter 10b (Leviticus 17:11) Fulfilling the Torah’s requirements Christians argue that the multiplicity of biblical laws makes it impossible for one to have a proper relationship with God based on those laws because no one person could possibly fulfill all of the Torah’s requirements. But, this conclusion involves a misunderstanding as to the goal of the Torah. In its entirety, it is addressed not to the individual but to the community. The individual is expected to carry out

Chapter 15 - THE LAW: A CURSE OR A BLESSING?

Continued from Chapter 14 (Deuteronomy 27:26) Deuteronomy 27:26 states: “Cursed be he who does not establish the words of this law to do them.” Paul, seeking to deprecate the Torah in an effort to enhance his new belief system alleges that any person who violates a biblical commandment is eternally cursed. He concludes that since it is inevitable that one will break a commandment one is actually cursed by the Torah, the Law of God. He writes: “For as many as depend upon works of law are under
