- Is Jesus Really God?: A Rebuttal to Islamic Teaching
My literature ministry at San Diego State University brings me into contact with
not only Jewish students but also students from many diverse backgrounds.
Usually there are up to a dozen or so literature tables offering different things to
the inquiring student. Because of the lateness of the hour this particular day only
two tables remained; my ministry, primarily ...
- Can the promise of 2 Chronicles 7:14 save America? 2 Chronicles 7:14 in context
With the victory of Joe Biden as President and the Democrat control of both houses of Congress, the U.S.A. faces a bleak future. Socialism/Marxism is winning battles, and it most likely won’t be long before they win the war, introducing a progressive, leftist anti-Christian agenda to America. Talk is rampant about civil war, secession, and ...
- Adoption: A Biblical Understanding
The Bible mentions adoption five times. The concept of adoption in the Bible is usually, uncritically, understood with the meaning of adoption in our modern world. Webster’s online dictionary defines adoption as, “to take voluntarily (a child of other parents) as one’s own child.”
Is this the biblical meaning and use of adoption? First, it does ...
- Did Jesus Become Sin? 2 Corinthians 5:21
The statement in 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him,” tells us that Jesus became sin (for us). Is this what this verse is communicating regarding Jesus? Did the perfect, holy Lamb of God ...
- Is Luke Jewish or Gentile?
The first response to the title of this article is likely one of incredulousness. Why even ask, might be your thought, as everyone believes Luke was Gentile. It is true that the vast majority of Christians believe that Luke was the lone Gentile writer of some of the books of the New Testament. But it ...
- MESSIAH AS THE BRIDEGROOM

- MESSIAH IN THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
“Our Rabbis taught: During the last forty years before the destruction of the Temple…the lot did not come up in the right hand; nor did the crimson-coloured strap become white; nor did the western-most light shine; and the doors of the Hekal would open by themselves.”
The Babylonian Talmud, Seder Mo’ed Yoma, Volume 1, Yoma 39b
The above, ...
- REFORM JUDAISM
Up until the 19th century there was only one form of Judaism – Orthodox Judaism. Certainly there were Jewish people who were atheists and those who claimed to be agnostics. But if one wanted to practice the religion of Judaism it came in only one form – Orthodox. Orthodox Judaism, though, has a number of branches ...
- Christian Baptism in the light of the Jewish Mikveh
Baptism in the Christian world is a religious ritual that has, in many instances, taken on an importance far beyond its simple origins. There are Christian denominations, Catholicism and Church of Christ among others, that embrace the understanding that this “sacrament” is essential to salvation. Others believe it is not at all needed in a ...
- TENACH
The word Tenach is probably unfamiliar to many of our readers. This is the term Jewish people use when referring to what Christians call the Old Testament. It is the entire Jewish Bible, made up of the exact same number of verses as the Old Testament in your Bible. The difference between the Tenach and ...
