"First of all Jews do not revile Christ, they consider him a prophet"
If they consider Jesus a prophet, why dont they follow His Words?
John 5 17: But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18: Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God. ......................................... 45: Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46: For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47: But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
1John 2 23: Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
John 14 6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7: If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. 8: Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9: Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Modern Judaism rejects Jesus as the Son of God who died for the sins of mankind. Modern Judaism teaches its followers to reject Jesus as the Messiah. They have fostered the common saying: "You cannot believe in Jesus and still be a Jew." This is a horrible obstacle and death trap for the modern Jewish people. Christianity is in fact the continuation of Old Testament Temple Judaism. Christians are the heirs and sons of Abraham. Early Christianity was an almost exclusive Jewish religion until the Holy Spirit lead them to evangelized the pagan world. Christianity is far more Jewish than antaichrist modern Talmudic Judaism. Christianity has Jesus, the Lamb of God, for their eternal and perfect sacrifice. Modern Judaism has no sacrifice for sins, no priesthood, no Temple, no Ark of the Covenant, no Davidic king and no genealogies. They were superseded at the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus and finally physically destroyed in the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D.. The modern religion of Synagogue Judaism is in fact a religion that opposes the teachings of the Bible and instead concentrates on the teachings of the Babylonian Talmud.
Modern Talmudic Judaism is not the religion of Old Testament Judaism.
Christianity is the fulfillment and heir of Old Testament Judaism. Christianity has Jesus as the Son of David who sits eternally on the throne of David and spiritually governs his people in the Kingdom of God. The temple of God is now the holy people of God---the Christian people. Jesus is the eternal high priest of Christian Judaism and ministers to his holy people as an advocate on his throne at the right hand God. There is only one genealogy that is still preserved in the New TEstament and that is the genealogy of Jesus. All Christians count their genealogy in the Lord Jesus Christ. Christians are the sons of Abraham and the sons of God through Jesus Christ. |
