Were There Two Different Jesuses?
When Luke wrote Acts of the Apostles to Theophilus, he guaranteed him that he had dealt with ALL that Jesus did and taught until the end of his life on earth. (Acts 1:1,2) If Luke is someone worthy believing, there must be something wrong with Matthew.

Jesus never had a church. Jews don't gather in churches. It was Jesus' custom rather to gather in synagogues for the Shabbat and daily prayers. Then, you found the Truth, didn't you? Great! Can you now tell me what is the Truth? If you don't remember, check what Jesus said in John 17:17. The...
The Catholic Church is a Christian church. What's weird to conform to a Christian authority? It would be weird for me as a Jew but not for you as a Christian. The only danger to prevent one from having salvation is transgression of the Law if you read Luke 16:29-31. That's from Jesus according...
The dream of Jonah had absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. The Hellenist who wrote the book attributed to Matthew was a former disciple of Paul's. He, the author, even committed a blunder when he specified "three days and three nights" (Mat. 12:40) and Jesus did not spend more than about three...
The only way to prove that you believe is through obedience of God's Law. Jesus himself once declared that the only way to achieve salvation is by listening to "Moses" aka the Law if you read Luke 16:29-31. And salvation is easy and instant. All we need to set things right with the Lord so that...
The Christian interpretation of the serpents in the wilderness is only to satisfy their Christian preconceived notions. Nothing in the text has any thing at all to do with Jesus. Christians are only using the Tanach to add credibility to their gospel aka the NT. My only agenda is to remain in...
I'll tell you how I read in the Catholic Encyclopedia. First, I found the subject New Testament and, under that theme, I came about Paul as being the son of a well-to-do couple of Hellenists from Tarsus in the Cilicia. Then, I found out that Paul was a Hellenistic Jew from birth.
Now, regarding...
The Serpent in the Wilderness
Numbers 21:9 (JPS) "Then Moses made a copper serpent and mounted it on a standard; and when any one was bitten by a serpent, he would look at the copper serpent and recover." Christians love to read this text and to find in it a reference to Jesus. Christian...
Man cannot have eternal life, I tell you. The method to verify that statement is to inquire if he was born. If he was born, he did not exist before birth. Therefore, there was a time when he did not exist. So, he can no longer be claimed to have eternal life. Only the One Who had no beginning...
There is no problem about my agreeing with you that you have all the right in the world to believe in whatever you please. On the other hand, you cannot expect that a Jew who believes in the absolute Oneness of HaShem give up his monotheistic system to believe that a dead man is God and the Messiah.
There is nothing you can say to a Jew that Jesus was God. He was not. He was a man and died as a man. Every individual man, being sinful or not, he will die and, as evidence of what I am telling you, he has died since Adam and up to this day. Jesus proved what I am saying by dying himself two...
Well, if you read Acts 1:3, Luke says that Jesus appeared to his disciples for 40 days after his sufferings, and he would eat and drink with them just as he used to before the so-called claimed resurrection. One would not eat and drink if he was not in body. Unless, considering Luke's statement...
Antichrist by definition is the one who stands against Christ.
Christ by definition is the Anointed One of the Lord.
Now, if you read Prophet Habakkuk 3:13, "The Lord goes forth to save His People; to save His Anointed One."
That's what "Christ" means; the Anointed One of the Lord aka Israel the...
And that's the House of Judah that was anointed to remain as a Lamp before the Lord forever in Jerusalem, and to produce princes to govern the Messiah. (I Kings 11:13, 36) From the beginning, Moses was the Messianic leader anointed with the mission to guide the Messiah back to the Promised Land...
The problem here is that you are too literal with your interpretation of Messiah. You look at it in your mind as an individual and I look at it as the People. Try to understand that the individual is born, lives his span of life and dies. Only as a People, Israel lives forever. In the words of...
Paul simply had an attack of epilepsy. If you did not know, read the Catholic Encyclopedia. Epilepsy is also called the fall disease and, all the symptoms of Paul at that event confirm the fact that he was epileptic.
As you have confirmed above, like the other men who traveled with Paul, he...
Rehoboam, the son of Solomon is dead. A dead man cannot be the prince of Israel. Now, if you read Habakkuk 3:13, "The Lord goes forth to save His People; to save His Anointed One." That's what the prince of Israel aka the Messiah is, the Anointed One of the Lord aka the Son of God, if you read...
