When the jewish god rejected the JewsThis is a very important question, because the entire Old Testament (aside from the Torah, the first 5 books of Moses) may hinge upon how early it can be said that the jewish god abandoned his people. The veracity of the Books from 1 Samuel and onward can be judged by how these writings portray the continued presence of the jewish god if it’s obvious he had already abandoned Israel....0 Reacties 0 aandelen 2K Views 0 voorbeeld

Paul the false ApostleIt seems that many adherents of the New Testament fail to notice that it contains competing, incompatible ideologies that have been woven together into a confusing patchwork quilt. This is perhaps best illustrated by comparing Paul’s view of righteousness with that of James: For we consider that a person is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law. (Romans 3:28 NET)...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 2K Views 0 voorbeeld

Are Christians free from the law?It is a Christian concept that Jesus freed his followers from the law. By law we mean the law of Moses, called the Torah. When you see the word law in english translations of the Hebrew scriptures, the Hebrew word that has been translated such is the word Torah, which literally means instruction.

Are Christian holidays pagan?25 years before my deeper study of the scriptures prompted me to leave the church, I had already developed strong convictions against Christian holidays. There is virtually no-one, not even among conservative Christian scholars and apologists, who denies the pagan origins of Christian holidays. The question is: what, if anything, is wrong with co-opting pagan practices? Christianity sees this...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 2K Views 0 voorbeeld

The Christian New Covenant ProblemA foundational principle of Christianity is the claim that a new covenant was instituted by Jesus’ death and resurrection, replacing the covenant made between the jewish god and Israel at Mount Sinai. No longer are adherents required to observe the jewish god’s instructions, for we are saved by simple faith in Jesus and nothing else. What if it could be easily shown from the New...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 2K Views 0 voorbeeld

Is The Oral Torah Divine?Today’s rabbinic Judaism is governed not just by the Hebrew Scriptures, but also by the Talmud, a written collection of oral traditions. After the destruction of Jerusalem in the first century CE and the exile of the Jewish people, it was feared that Jewish tradition would be lost, and around 200 CE Rabbi Judah the Prince redacted the Mishnah. The Mishnah is but one component of the...0 Reacties 0 aandelen 2K Views 0 voorbeeld
