    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    I’m not questioning that that’s what they said to him 2,000 years ago. Let me jump in the Wayback machine and rephrase the hypothetical. I’ve travelled back in time (without Mr. Peabody and Sherman) approximately 2,000 years. I’m living in 1st century Judea, around the year 30 AD. I’m having...

    I love irony. He demands an answer from me, then commands me not to answer. I can’t help but laugh at that. More irony. I’m accused of denying the deity of Jesus Christ. My God is the deity of Jesus Christ. With malice toward none, let every one be persuaded in his or her own mind.

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    I‘ve carried this in my wallet for years. ”The one God. (a)theos is the most frequent designation of God in the NT. Belief in the one, only and unique God (Matt. 23:9; Rom. 3:30; 1 Cor. 8:4,6; Gal. 3:20; 1 Tim. 2:5; Jas. 2:19) is an established part of Christian tradition. Jesus himself made...

    Reasons Jews Reject Jesus

    I like to ask people who their God is. People like to answer that question. I appreciate that. Jesus tells me - and anyone who will listen to him - precisely and unequivocally who his God and my God is.
