Dear Friend,
Did you ever wonder why the Jewish people don't believe in the New
Testament?
How come for 2000 years the Jewish people have been dedicated to
Judaism to the point of allowing themselves to be killed rather than convert to
Christianity?
In their 20 page scholarly work entitled "Why don't the Jewish people
don't recognize the New Testament?", theological scholars Eliyahoo Silver and
Isaac Even Zahav demonstrate that Christianity is based on mistaken premises,
misperceptions, and misunderstanding of what God is really all about. These
conclusions and insights may seem strange to many since they go against
everything many people have learned all their lives. But, many have seen that
in fact Truth is stranger than fiction, Truth has no friends, but we must
accept the Truth; not my truth, not your truth....but God's Truth.
Here are some excerpts from Eliyahoo Silver's and Isaac Even Zahav's
scholarly work entitled "Why don't the Jewish people recognize the New
Testament?" regarding the Oneness of God, Jesus as Messiah, Virgin Birth, and
the Covenent God made with Noah
The Oneness of God
"The Jewish God is one, as it is written; "Hear Israel, Y-H-W-H is
our God, Y-H-W-H is one." Deut. 6:4. So according to the Bible there is one
God, and that One God is One. One means One; not two, not three, not three in
one, not two in one, not three divisions of one, but One whole One Alone.
........
The ancient idol worshipping cultures believed that there are many
different gods, but God made it very clear in the Bible that He is the One and
only God. Christianity believes that God is divided into three parts; the
father, the son and the holy ghost. They try to make one out of these
three, because God clearly says in the Bible that He is One. However, by
definition God is an ever present, all powerful, omniscient, intangible, and
unlimited Being, therefore, by dividing God into 3 parts, by definition you
thus limit Him. This cannot be so.
Deut. 4:39: "Know therefore this day and consider it in your heart
that the Lord He is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath; there is
none else."
Deut. 32:39: "See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god with
me."
Isaiah 43:10: "I am He, before Me no god was created, neither shall
there be after Me."
Isaiah 44:6:"Thus saith the Y-H-W-H, the king of Israel, and his
redeemer, the Lord of hosts; I am the first and I am the last, and beside me
there is no god."
Isaiah 45:18:"I am the Y-H-W-H and there is none else."
Please notice that nowhere in the here is spoken about a trinity. The
concept of trinity is nowhere to be found in the Old Testament or the New
Testament. ...
There is One God, and that One God is One. One means One. That is not
two, not three, not three in one, not two in One, but One."
Jesus as the Messiah
"Who and what is the Messiah? Let us see according to the holy Hebrew
scriptures what the Messiah is supposed to do as required and defined by God
himself through His prophets.
In Isaiah 2:4 it is written that in the messianic days the swords will be
beaten into plowshares and the spears into pruninghooks.
Isaiah 60:18: "Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor
destruction within your borders, but you shall call your walls Salvation and
your gates Praise."
Zechariah 14:11: "And there shall be no more destruction but Jerusalem
will be safely inhabited.
Amos 9:14-15: "And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel
and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; and I will plant them
upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled out of their land which I
have given them, says Y-H-W-H your God." ...
... And then a Jew stands up and claims that he is the Messiah, the savior
that is announced by the prophets. But he did not do what he was supposed to
do, set the Jews free from their oppressors, the Romans, and establish an era
of peace and tranquillity for the Jews and all mankind. Instead he gets killed
and all that there is left of him is a collection of writings, called the New
Testament. But he claimed that he would establish this all in THAT generation:
See Mark 13:24-30 and Matthew 16:27-28; "Verily I say unto you; there be some
standing here that shall not taste of death till they see the son of man coming
in his kingdom." ... Unnecessary to say that he failed totally. ...
.... By the Living Word of God Himself it is clear that the Messiah must
redeem Israel and bring universal peace. However, this is not done by Jesus. On
the contrary, after he was executed as a common criminal the temple got
destroyed, and the Jewish people were exiled, and since then violent war after
war has swept over the earth. In order to get around this problem, the
christian church invented the second coming. However, nowhere in the Hebrew
scriptures is it written that the messiah would come once, get killed, and come
again in a second coming. This is a pure rationalization of Jesus failure to
function in any way as a Messiah. ..."
Virgin Birth
"The angel tells Joseph (Matthew 1:22-23) that this is done in order to
fulfill the word of the prophet; "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and
shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel. ...This
prophecy is quoted as being from Isaiah 7:14. There it says; "Behold a virgin
shall conceive and bare a son and shall call his name Emmanuel."
But for the Jewish reader that knows Hebrew, this also raises problems.
The Hebrew word in Isaiah 7:14 that the King James translation translates as
virgin is the Hebrew word "Almah". But, in Hebrew, the word "Almah" means young
woman, NOT virgin. The Hebrew word for virgin is "Betulah". Therefore the word
virgin in the king James translation of Isaiah 7:14 is a mistranslation. ...
Nowhere in the Old Testament is a prophecy that the messiah will be
born unto a virgin. In fact, virgins nowhere give birth in the Old Testament.
This concept is only to be found in pagan mythology. By the way, if this was
realy a virgin birth, than the requirement to be Messiah of being a direct
paternal descandant of king David was not fullfilled.... To the Jews, what does
this say about the reliability of the New Testament? "
The Noachide and Israelite Covenants
In conclusion Eliyahu Silver and Isaac Ewen Zahav point out that
Gentiles must follow and live according to the Covenant that God made with Noah
which requires descendants of Noah to follow seven catagories of laws known as
the Seven Noachide Laws. Thus Noachidism is the proper religion of Gentiles.
The seven catagories of Noachide commandments are:
1) Establish courts of law.
2) Do not blaspheme.
3) Do not worship idols.
4) Do not murder.
5) Do not commit adultery.
6) Do not steal.
7) Do not eat the limb of a live animal"
Please learn these by memory and know these this day for this is what God
commands you as descandants of Noah.
For the Jewish people is is pointed out "The Jewish people have a different
mission in life; "And you shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, a Holy
nation." Exodus 19:6. For this reason the Jewish people have to live
according 613 commandments commanded to them in their Holy book called the
Torah and the Gentiles must be commited never to lead Jews astray from liveing
by the Holy Torah.
