A JEWISH CRITIQUE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT: Why Judaism Does NOT Accept Christian Scriptures - with Rabbi Michael Skobac

Each year 1,000 Christian missionary groups spend $Millions targeting Jews worldwide, presenting themselves as Jewish to entice Jews to convert. They present Christianity in the guise of Judaism by calling their clergy "rabbis" and their churches "messianic synagogues," refer to Jesus Christ as Yeshua HaMashiach, ישוע המשיח or ישו הנוצרי and the New Testament as the Brit HaChadasha, הברית החדשה and their Christian religion as Messianic Judaism or יהדות משיחית.
Calling themselves Jews for Jesus, Hebrew Christians, Messianic Jews, Messianic Jewish Christians or יהודים משיחיים, they celebrate Jewish holidays with a Christian interpretation. They hold Shabbat services, wear Jewish skullcaps & prayer shawls to create the impression that a Jew can be a Christian and still maintain their Jewish identity. Using Torah Scrolls, Shabbat candle lighting, Hamotzei & Kiddush they make unaffiliated Jews feel comfortable & welcome in their churches.
Its nice we live in a time this man can speak his mind without fear of being burned alive.
Yes, the Christian religion was not a very messianic religion, it created the reasons for much warfare.
As a former Christian I'm sooooo thankful that the Christian scriptures were attached to the Hebrew Scriptures. We Christians are reading the 'Old Testament' with our Jesus glasses on but we ARE reading it and when the time is right the truth flies off the pages like it did for me! Praise God! He brought me out of the lies of Christianity!
Keep in mind it wasn’t “Christians” who came along and added onto the Jewish Bible. It was the Jews of that age who did so. Yeshua and his closest followers were all Jews.
If they were Jews than the NT would have been written in Hebrew not Greek. The earliest NT writings were not even the “gospels” but the letters of Paul who everyone assumes was the most Pharisee of Pharisees. Even if there existed 1st century Hebrew writings of the NT still wouldn’t make a single difference as to the legitimacy of Jesus being the messiah because what would give the messiah its legitimacy is the VISIBLE accounts written of by the prophets of Israel such as, the temple rebuilt not the so called prediction of its destruction. Accounts such as, all the world at peace not waring against each others. Accounts such as, transforming the weapons of war into tools for agriculture and the knowledge of God covering the world as the waters cover the seas etc… all these things are visible to everyone. So what you should ask yourself is, what visible evidence did Jesus perform that you or I say, yeah he sure is the messiah? He left nothing that we should say he is but the only ones accepting him after the end of the 1st century were all non-Jews who were already preconditioned to accepting the virgin birth and a human Devine figure but Jews stopped converting to Christianity when they had to accept the trinity concept and vicarious atonement which are all idolatrous concepts foreign to Israel.
Rabbi Skobac: A most informative and enjoyable presentation. I am a Christian, and your clear, unvarnished explanation of this material has deepened my understanding of the topic. Blessings on you, and I look forward to future talks from you.
Unbelievable! I "accidentally" run into this lecture looking for ways to answer a Xtian who's been asking me questions to debate his position as a Xtian against my believes as a Jew. He finally said to me, "Look, I only want to know the truth, if your way is the truth and you can prove it to me, I will drop Xtianity in a heartbeat! I just want to know the truth!" I've been searching left and right and found this site and I'm amazed. I wish I could ask questions that I've been asked and don't know how to respond. May HaShem open my lips!
Feel free to send you questions to info@jewsforjudaism.ca. If possible, the Rabbi Michael Skobac will respond.
The lectures produced by Rabbi Skobac collectively form the best critique of Christianity anywhere on the internet. He always cuts through the fog with clear thinking and effective presentation.
"in christianity, the observance of the torah gets replaced by the faith in the "messiah" ...it is for this reason I left christianity. Thank you Rabbi for this insightful message
Something does not make sense here ....Moses and all the Jewish people at Mt. Sinai hear God speak. Shortly thereafter ( within days ) the Jewish people make a golden calf to worship at the base of Mt. Sinai - they seem not to be too impressed by a God that so recently revealed himself to them. Can you offer an explaination for me ?
Good Question. We should do a video about it. In the meantime, try this link - THEY JUST SAW OPEN MIRACLES, HOW COULD THE JEWS MAKE A GOLDEN CALF?
jewinthecity.com/2017/05/if-they-just-saw-open-miracles-how-could-the-jews-build-a-golden-calf/#.X0f03dxKiM9
T.y for explaining ❤ Shalom
A thorough and interesting exploration of how the Christian and Jewish Scriptures differ as to their focus and soteriology. Blessings on Rabbi Skobac for spending so much time teaching us about the origin of the Hebrew Scriptures and the Christian Bible. We who have already "grabbed the shirt of a Jew" are deeply grateful for those rabbis who, like Rabbi Skobac, make themselves available to answer our questions and help us along in our journey.
I'm confused weren't the early Christians Jews?
The first 11 of the 12 disciples were Jews. However this movement, based on the mistaken belief that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah, failed miserably among the Jewish people in Israel… because Jesus fulfilled absolutely nothing that the Messiah was supposed to accomplish (jewsforjudaism.ca/why-jesus-is-not-the-jewish-messiah/ and/or th-cam.com/video/49l-g_TtGhI/w-d-xo.html .
Only by Paul taking Christianity to the gentiles, did this religion (based on pagan concepts of a virgin birth, a triune god and a God-man human sacrifice) did it begin to flourish.. And then, only after Constantine made it the official religion of the Roman Empire three centuries later, did this religion finally take off.
Then the nations♡♡ will know that I am HaShem....
Thank you Rabbi Skobac for your tireless dedication to the people of the covenant. You are a blessing to all who hear you.
Long story short: The US Navy, in my official "paperwork" (which includes ethnicity and/or race + religion) had me listed as "Other Hispanic" & Jewish. So, I went to Shabbat services on base (Rabbi Frankel was my Chaplain) ... I also had a Roman Catholic Chaplain who was actually born in Ireland (Father Kielty). I went to BOTH Christian and Jewish services when I served in the US Military but I gravitated more towards the Jewish services and in a very short time I was going exclusively to Jewish Services and even wearing a Kippah (Yarmulke) on the way to Shabbat Service. I just love hearing Rabbis TEACH. That's why I'm here. Hola a mis amigos cripto-Judios del estado de Nuevo Mexico. Shalom.
I feel like if a Jew could be a Southern Baptist preacher, it would sound like this.
Wow!! I've been lied to my whole life!!
I want to be Jewish with all my heart!
How was Abraham the first Jew? Aren't Jews from the tribe of Judah?
I am a former Christian who recently converted to Judaism. Everything you say in this lecture rings true to my experience. Thank you so much for speaking the truth of Hashem.
G-d bless you and may He make your search for truth successful.
if I want to become Jewish do I have to learn A new language like Jewish language .?
I second that
Totally agreed
I am a Noahide and i enjoy your teachings. I felt a void when i was a Christian.
Timely and needed for all to clarify their doubts, misconceptions and fear! Yasher Koach Rav Skobac.
Thank you for posting this. As a Christian we were always taught what the Jews believe; it is awesome to hear from a Jew what the Jews believe and ""WHY"". Instructional without being demeaning.
The last words, that many Christians are doubting the Paulist ideas, especially. As well the antisemitic references. They ask me. I’m ill equipped. This gives me a way to politely convey answers. Well done. Chol ha kevod rabbi.
Rabbi Scobac is really charming and honest, love to listen to him.
G-d never says He can’t be seen, He says you can’t see Him and survive the experience.
Thank you Rabbi Skobac. I chose Judaism 45 years ago. When 2 Baptist girls came to my front door to proselytize over 20 years ago,
and I pointed to the mezuzah and said we were a Jewish household, one of them responded excitedly "We are Baptist AND Jewish !"
I knew then that what you are saying is true.
Rabbi Skobac, I would just like the people reading the comments here to see how many christians have told me im a heretic, that Im going to hell, that I am going to burn in the pit, etc...... Christianity teaches "Do not judge lest your father in heaven judge you" Their teachings are very clear that no man has the right to condemn another, yet they continue to condemn me because my viewpoint is different.
Thank you for this video Rabbi Michael I am a new to Judaism and currently learning the torah after watching your video I sure this 21 Christian guy so even he understood your video and now he is also willing to accept or no to Judaism
It is a really gift of god for me that I got it it that understanding
It's nice to know there's someone like him who speaks and explains very well about the truth. Christians should listen carefully.
I grew up mormon and we called it the Quad. Those books were huge. I think I still have one somewhere even though I left years ago. KJV OT & NT, Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price, Doctrine and Covenants. Most households also have all the Teachings of the Presidents of the Church series of books which are also considered scripture.
I'm a Noachide now.
every christian should watch this video. then we'd here less nonsense about the "judaeo -christian tradition"
This guy's brilliant, love his teachings!
I do not believe in any religion but in the context of Semitic religions i shall say this man is right and made a powerful speech.
As an athiest I'm listening to all the interreligious drama like....fascinating. I'm still wondering how he knows what the book says is true tho. He wasnt there. But it's still interesting to listen why one religion thinks the others are wrong.
As rough as it is to accept the Rabbi's assertions, his eloquent speech and persuasive arguments are most compelling. As a covert from Christianity to Judaism, it is with bitter feelings that I must admit the Rabbi is correct.
I was catholic and I used to say many of this things all along (about the two books in one have no sense) !!! Thank you Rabbi for making me feel that I was not crazy!! Excellent lecture!!!
this is karen wright maybe 6 monts maybe year ago i found you at same time freind did many miles away...we both have watched almost all your lectures... this one here, brought up so many things that i can only hope to share with lost people,,, truly thank you for all you do and have already done..great modern day sage !!!! i nolonger idol worship... Hashem bless this Rabbi shalom
As a Christian who is confused about a few things, I find this very informative. Thank you
"If the law is so good, how come (you) are not doing it?" Not all of the Torah is for Gentiles. Some of the laws were for Israel only, never for Gentile believers in Abraham's G-d. Namaan the Syrian was not commanded to accept circumcision or Kosher, neither were the men of Nineveh in Jonah's day. They were required to keep the Ten Commandments, except for the Sabbath, which was only for the Jews. Such Gentiles were always considered to be righteous by the prophets. This is in your Talmud as well, yes?
WOW! Almost two hours of Scripture-packed instruction. Thank you Rabbi Skobac!!
May Hashem bless you Rabbi.
I am a karaite Hebrew and as a scriptural student I concur with Rab Skobac in almost all of his dissertation, which I found amusing. As this is a critic to the new testament, I would like to add a couple of things:
1st.) There were no "christians" in the first century of the common error. The name "christians" was an insult invented by King Anthiocus the 2nd. in Antiochia (Turkey) to refer to Jews astray followers of this new creed spreading by year 200 CE. The word "Christos" in Greek "Χριστός" is the lamest translation of the word HaMoshiah (מָשִׁיחַ) from Hebrew due to the lack of knowledge of the Hebrew language of those that translated HaTorah into Greek, around the year 250 BCE by order of Ptolemy II Philadelphus.
2nd.)That IF (conditional) there is such a thing as a "new" testament that would mean that YHVH, God, made a 'mistake' and that now he has to clear the error by re-making the covenant made with the Avot, Abraham, Yitzack and Yaakob. So indeed, there is no such thing as a "new" covenant.
3rd.) The historical Yehoshua Ben Yoseph never claimed to be God. I.eg.: Jhon 10:29; Jhon 14:28 ... For a fact he was Hatorah observant I.eg.: Matthew 5:17, When asked which is the greatest command, he answered with the Shemah. I.eg.: Matthew 22:36 never the less I am not mentioning this to validate these writings.
4th.)The most important fact is that the Roman Emperor Hadrian is the maker of this new creed or "religion" to unite the roman empire by 325 CE. It should be gullible enough to be believed but should not "look like" the jewish original, because jewish people were a bunch of troublesome tribes that had given the empire to many headaches, several times. That is why he also invented the name "Syria Philisteina" (actual Palestine) to name the region he wanted jews never to return and changed the name of Yerushalaim to "Aelia Capitolina" after the destruction of the 2nd. Temple. Palestine as a country has never existed in the Holy Land. It is the name of a region not a country.
I can’t believe how misled I’ve been my whole life. I’m going to become Jewish. I was lost. Hashem please forgive me.
As a Christian I can finally and not afraid to say Jesus is not God.
Your not being biblical. Where does it say..in order to be a christian you have believe Jesus is God?
+Jarred Bostick As a a FORMER Christian I came to that conclusion years ago as well as many other odd and other inconsistensies on the practcices ad teaching of Christianity
+Jarred Bostick nor any kind of Messiah
Jarred Bostick
Congratulations.
You have regained your sanity.
And your belief in the one true Creator of Heaven and Earth.
*Jarred Bostick:* Fantastic! I was shocked when I found out this truth for myself, but now it makes SO much sense!! All the best to you!!
p.s. If you can say "Jesus is not God", you are no longer a Christian!
Thanks to dear Rabbi, for cleaning my illusion s.
It's rather ironic that the same means that the Xtians used to legitimize their claim is the same means to de ligitimize it. They had a better shot of presenting their religion on it's own. But Hashem allowed it so that people from all around the world can come to know the True G-d of Israel.
can anyone direct me to a lecture that the rabbi mentioned, the one about historical Jesus being an observant Jew?
Why does the adhesive on my bible not stick to the Koran that was glued to it?
When I first saw the length of this video, I thought I'd never make it through it. Not only did I watch the entire thing with great interest, but I already can't wait to watch it again! What a great learning tool. Thank you, rabbi : )
At the time point of about one hour and six minutes and thirty seconds Rabbi Skobac talks about how Jesus the Messiah would fear God therefore he could not himself be God. I'd like to disagree and offer my explanation of why this does not preclude Jesus from being God. He is said to have put his high and royal attributes off of himself and to put human lowliness onto himself when he became a human. He had a mother and a father just like other regular humans. He obeyed them and he obeyed civic authority. He observed Jewish traditions and customs obediently which are examples of him being humble enough to behave just like a normal human being who was not divinely entitled. He went to the cross and gave up his life obediently and feared God the same way that each man and woman should so do. When the passage in Isaiah says that he would fear God it is saying that he would respect and revere and obey God. Jesus did those things as commanded by God to teach regular people like you and me how to obey.
Jesus never claimed to be God which is a huge issue between me and the christian church....
Great material for debunking christianity .. 😁😁😁
I'm am an ex-Christian and now an atheist. I came to become one after reading the writings of scholars and historians. Rabbi Skobac gives the Jewish perspective which for me is refreshing to see once again Jesus is not a god coming from the Jewish scholastic perspective.
I'm a Christian, and I loved this sermon.
Thank you Rabbi Skobac for your teachings, we world is awakening and we are returning to Yahweh, to Him alone and only belongs the glory.
As a Messianic Rabbi, I agree with about 97% of this, but I must also say this. Paul is probably one of the most misquoted and slandered author in the New Testament, his teachings has been misrepresented into something they are not. The reason for this, the Roman Emperor Constantine and his Mother Helen; and their own creation, the Catholic Church.
Wow !
Excellent speaker
Thank you R' Skobac.
All Christians need to watch this!
read most of the comments that disagree with this man. but not one debunks him with verses from the bible.. so your feelings are hurt, but you cannot deny what he is saying. admit it you don't even know your own bible. cherry-picking is your favorite way to study, but that shit won't work here...HAHA
Why Christian deny Moses teaching in one God. ?
Such a beautiful lecture! Thank you Rabbi Skobac. I love your sense of humour :)
Rabbi , Your Lesson blew me away
I'm glad I took the time to listen.
Shalom
Thank you, I was taught both (Old Testament all the way the New Testament.) My parents are converted from Judaism to Christianity; however, they didn’t forget their great grandparents’ tradition. The way or the history of Holy Bible and the faith of Christianity without understanding or without knowing the right interpretation of both Testaments, the Word of God's brings confusion with people who are practicing today's Christianity. That is the problem and disaster. Thanks to the Jews keep the Torah (Old Testament) among its tradition and value from the beginning of the first generation to generation. Without understanding the right way of worshiping of our Father in the Haven, and how to live meaningful life and know the meaning of living a good life, unknowingly, many Christians are against Jews tradition. This is the big tragedy of the world. Therefore, even if teaching the real-world history is painful, until all people understand the reality of worshiping the Almighty God, we need the Rabbi lesson much.
This is a very clear explanation of Jewish principles on his critique on why we cannot accept the New Testament as a message from God.
I'm benefiting from these even though I'm Christian. I cant explain it but it doesn't matter; I still benefit. Many things are said which are incidental and historical if that makes sense. So thanks Rabbi for these lessons.
James wrote in the NT that faith without obedience to God's laws is dead. Did you know that? I don't think that you have read the NT.
Rabbi Skobac's lectures are always perfectly articulated, logical and deeply thought provoking. I want to thank you for your hard work and dedication to bring truth to so many. You are very appreciated and are a wonderful blessing to the world. B'H
Jesus was Jewish and the NT would make no sense without the OT. It is not 2 unrelated books "glued together". The rabbi makes a good point about the law. Christians who think Yeshua came to do away with the law are mistaken. He came to fulfill the prophecies and pay for our sin, not to do away with the law. Peter said some of Paul's writings would be hard to understand and twisted by those untrained in the Scriptures (Torah) ....
Thank you Rabbi Skobac.
You are a fighter, Rabbi. Love your explanation.
After listening to some of these rabbis I could never accept the new testament
חזק ואמץ, ישר כוח, אהבתי מאוד את הרצאה שלך, חושב אני שעליך לצאת לויכוח אם גדולי הנוצרים ולהחזיר את כל עולם להאמין במלכות שדי,
I love this guy.... awesomely clear explanation of subject
What an excellent Rabbi!
Anyone who try"s to change Torah at all is false or who says to warship some other false god other then HASHEM
Awesome presentation and high energy fantastic thanks
Keep the Torah 🙏
Thanks so much for posting this excellent and helpful video.
The best rebuke of stupidity that I have heard, thanks.
Do you have notes on this lecture? I tried looking for it on your site, but I didn't see it. Maybe I looked at the wrong place? Thanks!
Thank you very much. From South Africa.
beyond fantastic.
a very well stated debate/lesson. you opened my eyes and affirmed some of my concerns for not only deceit, but the world state as to war and human crime. thank you.
Why are there dozens of variant versions of Christian bibles...none match original koine greek or hebrew source scriptures..???
They like making it say what tickles them, and it makes them $$$$$$$
Christians do not negate the laws of G-d at all! We teach and believe just as you said, living by faith working in love, which is keeping the laws. You have misunderstood a central doctrine. Paul in that passage is speaking of the remission of sins only, not about the whole doctrine of the Bible. Context, context, context. When I lead my congregation in the Lord's Supper, I read the whole of the Ten Commandments out loud to the people, no abbreviations or summaries. Then we pray together for G-d to write his law in our hearts, and to cause us to walk in them. (BCP 1662, The Communion)
Excellent, thank you Rabbi Skobac.
No, the NT is not about extra-terrestrial salvation. Many teach that, but if you read the NT closely, it says absolutely zero about non-earthly salvation. The resurrection of the body of Jesus is the biggest proof of that. After he rose he cooked bread and fish for his disciples, drank wine with them. We are waiting for the new heavens and earth that you spoke of, when the full number of the elect are brought in. Heaven comes to earth. See the Revelation, last few chapters.
FYI, I post as I listen, and as your points come up.
Thank you for your teachings about Jewish bible vs. Christian bible
Your so right. As a Christian I had to believe in PURE FAITH or I was not saved. They say that the "Law" was done away with, (not realizing that it meant the Torah) but yet a Christian will not admit that it means the "Torah". But it really does.
Thank you Rabbi. I’ve been thinking about converting from Catholicism to Judaism for a long time, but rejecting Jesus (and decades of believing / being taught that he was God and rejecting him leads to hell) was a big hurdle for me. Everything you said made a lot of sense and was exactly what I needed to hear right now, thank you for this thorough and thoughtful analysis
Wow! This was a great teaching.
Well done Rabbi, now preach it to the gentiles.
How can this be B'rit HaChadasha? G-d already made a covenant with Noah and promised never to break it. Why would He make a new one? It doesn't make sense!
in the hebrew Bible a new covenant is mentioned, Jeremiah 31: 31-34
Interesting fact: none of the hundreds of variant versions of Christian bibles match each other or the original source scripture of koine Greek NT papyrus or the hebrew dead sea scrolls .
There is only on hebrew Tanakh in history all match word for word which match the dead sea scrolls .
Thank you Rabbi. May Hashem Bless you!
Thank you for using scripture rather than just "preaching". I get so weary of stories and conjecture.
So very good may Hashem bless you. You are easy to understand. Loved it
Thank you Rabbi, I learn so much from your teachings.
Sorry I do not believe that JC was G-D it makes know sense. start reading what G-D says about HIMSELF. Read the Jewish Bible.
Great video!
Excellent. Best lecture yet.
Thank you. God bless.
