Welcome!

For a while we have been looking for a less formal venue to discuss some of the issues and claims that are used by missionaries targeting the Jewish community for conversion to Christianity. We hope that this Blog will fit the bill. Any discussion is welcome to this Blog, as long as it is in good taste and does not defame anyone. Any comments which we feel are inappropriate will be removed at our discretion.

An Invitation and a Challenge

I would like to challenge any Hebrew-Christian to choose just one verse from any of the books of the Jewish Bible (Genesis through Chronicles), and tell me why that verse jumps out at you and causes you to say "Praise G-d, another prophecy about the Messiah!"  Here is the criteria for doing so:  You must pretend that you are sitting in Jerusalem, 100 years before Jesus supposedly was born.  Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, don't exist.  The only information you have is the Jewish Bible.  I suggest that the only verses that you are going to be able to point to, are the ones that Jewish tradition says refer to the Messiah.  You see I believe that you read scripture from back to front, not front to back, and the only reason that you believe that Jesus was the Messiah, is because you didn't think for yourself.  You let the Christian Bible authors, think for you. They were the ones who told you what the "prophecies" were, according to their interpretation. Are you up for the challenge?
