Originally posted on Daily Minyan: The New Testament presents the Jewish leaders and the Jewish people as a bloodthirsty mob out to get Jesus, mercilessly calling for his blood, without any regard for justice. This is the lens through which Christendom would come to view the whole of Jewish people…

When Christians argue that Jews limit G-d by their stubborn insistence on strict monotheism, by being so certain that He would never become one of us by becoming a man, they accuse Jews of putting G-d in a box. If G-d is so powerful, they ask, what would stop Him from…

The bottom line is that all religions cannot be correct, as they oppose each other. The question: which one is truly God’s law? This question is what we hope to elucidate, with honesty, no politics, and with no animosity towards any other human being. The true Bible teacher teaches out…

Originally posted on Daily Minyan: Imagine this alternate prophetic scenario, which I believe accords far better with the Jewish prophets than the New Testament’s version of the future, where the glorious multinational Church and Jesus are reunited.

Messianic Christian: The central theme of Judaism and Christianity should be the Messiah
Continue reading →: Messianic Christian: The central theme of Judaism and Christianity should be the MessiahChristianity (including “Messianic Judaism”) makes the man Jesus the focal point of their religion. For them, everything centers on Jesus, the first century Jewish man. He is exalted as the creator of the whole world (Colossians 1:15-17), controlling the universe, both visible and invisible, even from his cradle when he…

A Christian told me the other day that I was being hypocritical by questioning New Testament’s validity as inspired scripture. I was warned that I should not cast stones at the New Testament, that is to claim that it is based on lies, since there are atheist critics of the…

When Christianity was still young it found itself under frequent ridicule from pagan philosophers, who derided the newness of Christianity in comparison to other, more established religions. As novelty in religion was greatly looked down upon in the ancient world, the Church father Justin Martyr (c. 100–165 CE) set out to…

Continue reading →: Messianic Jews as both victims and victimizers
For Jewish converts to Christianity the consequence of their embrace of Jesus-worship is being cut off from their people, both for the person who has fallen into the idolatry and for all their progeny as well. I can cite example after example of Jewish converts to Christianity in the last…

It is now historically clear that anti-Judaism did not begin only in the second century, when the theology of supersession first became explicit.
