Christianity has countless heroes of faith and saints. However, almost without exception, virtually none of these “best of Christians” tried to treat Jews with compassion and relate to them as to fellow human beings. They all condemned them to hell for not believing and worshiping Jesus, often looking the other…

I have received quite bit of off-the-blog feedback regarding my post C. S. Lewis on Jesus’ False Prophecies. Some Christians/Messianics have accused me of taking Lewis’ words of out context. Invariably, those who make this charge themselves have not read the material in its context, but simply refuse to believe…

By Rabbi Moshe Ben-Chaim The Flaws of Christianity and [other] Religions Should we allow our lives to be guided by what is popular? Are we to simply follow the crowd, without questioning our beliefs? As all religions oppose each other, all religions cannot be God’s word. Our souls are at…

Recently I came across the following article on Catholic.com. I think it illustrates perfectly the attitude that Christianity has displayed toward the Jewish people for the last two thousand years.

Christians view their religion as the fulfilment of every single promise and aspiration found in the pages of the “Old Testament”. They also see the teachings found in their scriptures, in the Greek text of the New Testament, as the summation, explanation and indeed the perfection of everything the Hebrew…

The Hebrew scriptures declare that G-d’s thoughts are not our (human) thoughts and that our ways are not His (Isaiah 55:8 ). Perhaps nothing illustrates this idea better than the biblical concept of the election of the Jewish people as G-d’s very own people. It’s one of those things that has troubled…

Continue reading →: What did the earliest Jewish Christians think of Apostle Paul?
The Book of Acts (or Acts of the Apostles) spends so much ink on the Christianity’s favorite apostle that it should more rightly be called “the Acts of Paul”. Christian tradition ascribes this work to Paul’s companion, Luke. Whether this was indeed the case we may never know. What is…

Continue reading →: Lesson for Jesus from the deposed King of Tyre
That a new budding religion of Christianity has turned a dead first century Jewish man into a god and worshiped him may sound strange today, but in the ancient world such a thing was actually extremely common. It was not at all unusual for a leader, a monarch, who was…
