"And he was debating every Shabbat in the synagogue, trying to persuade both Jewish and Greek people." (Acts 18:4) | | Christians around the world are often puzzled by Jewish resistance to Jesus. For we who know the truth about the Messiah, it all seems very clear. We have produced several videos and articles trying to explain some of the reasons behind this phenomenon, but ultimately, we have to acknowledge what the Bible says in Romans 11:25; God has partially hardened Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in. Paul describes this as a mystery, and as part of God's plan to enable the Gospel to reach and bless all the people of the earth. But just as Paul never stopped trying to reach his people, so we won't stop either, until that great and glorious day when all Israel is saved! | | Dr. Erez Soref, President of ONE FOR ISRAEL | | Dr. Eitan Bar responds to a viral video in which Rabbi Guttman claims to have "destroyed Christianity in 2 minutes".
| | RABBINIC OBJECTIONS & Messianic Prophecy
For us, Jews who grew up in Israel, Jesus and His word were never part of the conversation. Not in our school system, not in our synagogues, and not in our media. Nor did we have easy access to the New Testament. Jesus has been studiously avoided, and hidden from our people. Today in Israel, 99.7% of the Jewish population reject Jesus as the Messiah. How did our country, where the gospel first took place, come to be so adamantly against it? Within Judaism over the last two millennia, any kind of spiritual message had to go through the “gate keepers,” the Orthodox Jewish Rabbis. They have gone to great lengths to conceal Jesus and keep him the best kept secret in Judaism, keeping our people in spiritual darkness. But now the secret is out! After almost 2000 years, Jesus, or as we call him in Hebrew, Yeshua, can no longer be hidden from the people!
Since 2015 we have released over 150 videos where we share the gospel and refute rabbinic objections to Jesus, the New Testament and Christianity. This book is a compilation of transcripts from these videos, all in one place for your consideration. While the content of this book is based on five years of academic research, I did my best to write it in a simple, easy-to-read way, in order to keep this book as short as possible. -Dr. Eitan Bar | | Growing up in a strong Jewish environment, Kirt felt his Jewish life was mostly going through the motions, devoid of a personal connection with God. But after telling his family about his faith, they locked him up in a psychiatric ward against his will. But even in the storm he found hope and faith and finally found a strength from the inside out. | | WHY CAN'T THEY SEE THE TRUTH? Why many Jewish people don't accept Jesus
It can be bewildering given that Yeshua was an Israeli-born Jew who grew up in a Jewish community, practiced Jewish laws and customs, worshiped God at the Jewish Temple, had Jewish disciples, and taught from the Jewish Scriptures, that so many Jewish people find him incompatible with Judaism… But actually the good news is that there have always been Jews who believe in Jesus. In fact, at first it was only Jews who believed in him, and today there are hundreds of thousands of Messianic Jews, even though they are still in minority compared to non-Jewish followers of Jesus. If you read Acts 15, for example, you will see that back then a different question was asked: “Is it possible for a Gentile to follow the Messiah of Israel?” So why do we often hear today that “Jews don’t believe in Jesus”? | | Help us reach and bless even more people with the truth about Jesus! | |
