I love you my dear Sister🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 You explained that so well. My kids Dad was Jewish. Unfortunately he passed away without accepting Jesus as his Savior😢 But I pray for his family everyday, and for all of the Jewish people & the Muslims. I believe Jesus will return soon & I pray that God will use your channel to convert those who are lost all over the world🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Wow, this was very informative. I can definitely see why they were expecting Jesus to be an earthly king or in the political sector. Thank you for explaining this Trysten ❤️
Great video Trysten! I'm so glad you're my sister in Christ! Nope, Judaism flows naturally into Christianity, and although the Jews who are saved join the church, remember the olive tree Paul spoke of, and how the Gentile believers are grafted in. So we join the Jews in a deeper way than they join us! Keep going Trysten, we love you!!
I don’t know that Jewish people necessarily “hate” Jesus. I think a lot of the reason they reject Him as the messiah is because a lot of Jewish people are secular and don't really know why they don't believe - they're just told it from generation to generation. Like, "We're Jewish, we don't believe Jesus is the Messiah." But, it doesn't make sense because Jesus is a JEWISH RABBI. A really good book is More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell!
Jewish guy here. 1. It isn't the Jewish expectation, it is the biblical expectation. The idea of Jesus coming to get rid of sin and then come back another time is completely nfounded and only a Christian answer. 2. All biblical scholars (Jewish, Christian, and athiest alike) agree that the verse in Gensis isn't referring to a plural in the Godhead, rather it is the royal we, or God talking to angels as we see he does in other parts of the Bible. 3. Saying commandments are fulfilled in Jesus is meaningless sttatement. For example this is what scripture says about circumcision, "And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised." Please explain how this passage is being fulfiled "through Christ" ? Did God not know it wouldn't last forever, becasue Jesus would come? I would also like to know what type of Jewish education you got. Do you even read Hebrew?
The first followers of Christ were Jewish. The apostles Peter and Paul and many others. And like them, you are also a Jew that follows Jesus. Jews that genuinely accept Christ as Lord and follow him make the best Christians. 🙏✝
@@yehudayisrael7910 -“ Zechariah --8:19---23. You'll be crawling to Rabbinic Jews for truth soon enough.”- *Zechariah **8:19* 23So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for *we have heard* that *GOD IS WITH YOU.* " *FULFILLED* *”we have heard* that *GOD IS WITH YOU.”* As in *EMMANUEL* found in *Matthew 28:20* And surely *I AM with YOU always* , even to the end of the age.” *Matthew 18:20* For where two or three are gathered together *in MY NAME* , there am I *in THE MIDST of them.* *Acts 13* 42And when *THE JEWS* were gone out of the synagogue, *THE GENTILES sought* that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath. 43Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. 44And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God……. 47For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth. 48And *when the Gentiles heard this*, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. 49And the word of the Lord was published throughout *ALL THE REGION.* *Acts 2:5-11* 5 Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem *JEWS, devout men from EVERY NATION under heaven.* 6 And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. 7 And they were amazed and astonished, saying, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, 11 *both Jews and proselytes*, Cretans and Arabians-we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.” *NOW* *THE GOSPEL IS COMING OUT OF ISRAEL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2000 YEARS* Past 30 years has seen believers from around 3,000 to over 30,000.

No one should listen to that hypocritical, cherry-picking, Bible-twisting, legalistic Pharisee who got demolished by Dr. Michael Brown back in the early 90’s. Tovia Singer is one of the most disgusting and repulsive people I have ever had the misfortune of coming across online. His unhealthy obsession and demonic hatred against Israel’s rejected and blessed Messiah needs confronting and rebuking. Christophobia and Bibliophobia like this comes from the heart of a scared and tortured soul. I've never been impressed by any of Tovia’s arguments. They vary from reasonable but not convincing to rather poor and even dishonest. It's all just double standards, empty noise, half truths, whole lies, plain insults, false accusations (like against the apostle Paul for example) and baseless conspiracy theories. He should be wearing a tinfoil hat instead of a yarmulke. Everything that he says can be refuted in Dr. Michael Brown’s five volume series Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus.
I met a Gentile who converted to Orthodox Judaism. He was very knowledgeable about Judaism, knew Hebrew, pronounced it correctly, and observed Kashrut, Shabbat, and other mitzvot. The only reason I knew he had been a Christian was because he told me. Having accepted the Torah and completing Orthodox conversion, he is Jewish and is to be treated as an equal Jew. He takes on a new identity. He does not remain a Christian. No one calls him a Christian Jew. He was born and raised as a Christian from a Christian family of many generations for sure but he no longer is a Christian; he is a Jew. This makes sense on so many levels. He does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. He does not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He does not believe that Jesus died for his sins or for the sins of believers. He does not believe that those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will have eternal life. He does not believe that those who do not believe will be condemned to Hell. But you Tristen Tice believe all those things about Jesus and that makes sense. You have converted to Christianity. Let's face the truth --- you are a Christian. Why deny it? You may call yourself a former Jew, a Jew who converted to Christianity but you left the Jewish religion for the Christian religion. Reform Judaism is the most liberal of the three main movements or streams within Judaism. Reform Judaism is very open to interfaith couples but they say that once a Jew accepts Jesus, that person is a Christian and not a Jew. If a Jew studies Judaism, it will never lead to Jesus. It is only when that person puts on Christian glasses, so to speak, that Christianity becomes the truth. Christianity and Judaism share some common scriptures but our understanding, interpretation, outlook, and traditions are very different. Judaism and Christianity share some scriptures but are very different religions. The only reason that I think you come from a Jewish background is because you have implied it. However, everything you stated in this video is pure Christianity and there is nothing Jewish about it. The Christian insistence on bringing everyone in world to Christianity makes no sense to Jews. Jews want Jews to be Jewish but Judaism is for the Jews, not the Gentiles. Orthodox Judaism does not proselytize but does allow conversion through a difficult process. I believe in God. I come from a family of believers in God. Christians tell me that this is worthless, that all must go through Jesus to get to the Father. I tell these Christians that I believe in the One True God who created the Universe. I do not need an additional God called Jesus. These Christians then become angry and try to convince me that they too only have One God. They make it even more confusing by adding the Holy Ghost. Understanding the Trinity is more difficult than organic chemistry. No child understands. You have to be an adult and pretend to understand difficult words from Greek and Latin. Some Christians are more honest and tell me the Trinity is a mystery and must be accepted on faith. Orthodox Judaism has many complicated rules but its theology is as simple as it gets: ONE GOD. I know that the One God is not going to punish righteous good believing people for not adding Jesus. Jesus is not mentioned in the Old Testament. The Messiah is a Jewish idea and there are references to the Messiah in the Old Testament but that does not mean they refer to Jesus. The the most dangerous Christian belief is that Jesus is God and must be worshipped. In fact, if God is going to punish anyone it is Jews who worship the additional God called Jesus thereby violating the Ten Commandments. Why do Christians want to display the Ten Commandments in public spaces even though they don't follow them? Last time I looked, didn't they include?: "You shall have no other gods before Me." "the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD"
Jesus is not an additional God. He is God. Period, point blank. He is HaShem. He is Adonai. He is YHWH. He is all throughout the Old Testament. Genesis - Jesus is the Word of God, creating the heavens and the earth; He is the promised Seed of the woman Exodus - Jesus is the Passover lamb Leviticus - Jesus is the high priest and representative of the tabernacle; He is the lampstand, He is the showbread, and He is the sacrifice on the altar Numbers - Jesus is the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night and the smitten rock that gives living water Deuteronomy - Jesus is the prophet greater than Moses Joshua - Jesus is the Commander of the Army of the Lord, leading His people into the Promised Land Judges - Jesus is the true and final judge Ruth - Jesus is the kinsman redeemer 1 & 2 Samuel - Jesus is the anointed shepherd king who slays the giant 1 & 2 Kings - Jesus is the righteous King of Kings and Lord of Lords 1 & 2 Chronicles - Jesus is the faithful restorer of the kingdom Ezra - Jesus is the faithful restorer of the temple Nehemiah - Jesus is the redeeming rebuilder of the walls Esther - Jesus is the sovereign protector of His people Job - Jesus is the living redeemer and our true comforter Psalms - Jesus is the Good Shepherd who hears our cries Proverbs - Jesus is wisdom Ecclesiastes - Jesus is the meaning of life Song of Solomon - Jesus is the loving bridegroom coming for His bride Isaiah - Jesus is the promised Messiah; the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace; the Suffering Servant wounded for our transgression and bruised for our iniquities Jeremiah - Jesus is the Potter and the Righteous Branch Lamentations - Jesus is the weeping prophet Ezekiel - Jesus is the river of life, bringing healing to the nations Daniel - Jesus is the fourth man in the fiery furnace Hosea - Jesus is the ever-faithful husband pursuing His unfaithful bride Joel - Jesus is the restorer of what the locusts have eaten and the One who will pour His Spirit on His people Amos - Jesus is the burden-bearer and the true restoration Obadiah - Jesus is the judge of all the earth and mighty to save Jonah - Jesus is the salvation of all lands and the prophet cast out in the storm who spent three days in the depths Micah - Jesus is the promised Messiah born in Bethlehem Nahum - Jesus is the avenger of God’s elect Habakkuk - Jesus is the reason for rejoicing and our strength even when the fields are empty Zephaniah - Jesus is the preserver and restorer of His remnant and kingdom Haggai - Jesus is the desire of all nations Zechariah - Jesus is the cleansing fountain and the pierced Son whom every eye on earth will one day behold Malachi - Jesus is the Sun of Righteousness, rising with healing in His wings; He is the refiner’s fire. The word “Trinity” cannot be found in the Bible, but the truth is that the three of them have been there together all the way along. Genesis tells us that God created the heavens and the earth by his word. John 1 tells us that the Word is Yeshua - that He was with God and was God from the get go, right there at creation. We also see the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, hovering over the waters in the second verse of the Bible. Not sure about this? The first words of the Bible in Hebrew are בראשית ברא אלוהים - In the beginning, God created (or “in the beginning, created God…”, because that’s the way Hebrew sentences are structured). The word for God is Elohim. This word Elohim, very interestingly, is plural. Still not convinced? The decision to create humanity is made. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”, says the plural God, in plural. Later on we see hints of Yeshua appearing as “The Angel of the Lord”, which could simply be one of God’s many angels, except that those who encounter this One a) identify Him as The Lord Himself, and b) worship Him. There is no way that an angel of God - even a top level angel - would accept worship that belongs to God alone. If you want to see what I mean, see what happens when “The Angel of the Lord” turns up to visit Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21, Abraham in chapter 18, and the One who stops him killing Isaac in 22:11, look at the interaction between Samson’s parents and the Angel of the Lord in Judges 13, and consider who the fourth person was in the fiery furnace that Daniel’s three friends were rescued from. As you ponder the texts and the dialogues, look carefully at the way people address this Angel, at the way He refers to Himself, and you will see that there is something divine going on here. This Angel speaks as if He is God, and people speak as if they have encountered God. Because He is. And they have. We also learn of the Third Person, the Holy Spirit, very much active in His own right in the Tanakh - falling upon and anointing people with power to prophesy and act to accomplish God’s will. He empowers the artisans who make the tabernacle, falls upon Saul in 1 Samuel 10, and is spoken of by David in the Psalms and the prophets (“The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me, for He has anointed me…” Isaiah 61). He appears many times throughout the scriptures, helping and enabling people to do the will of God. We even see all three of them together in this verse: “Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this: From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I; and now the Lord GOD has sent me, and His Spirit.” (Isaiah 48:16) There they all are - all three of them together. The Lord God (Father), the One who He sent, Who was with Him from the beginning (Yeshua) and His Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament. God repeatedly promises that He would come and live among them, in words that bewilder the mind if you are not ready to accept the deity of Yeshua. He says, “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord. And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people. And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.” (Zechariah 2:10-11) Yes, it was always God’s intention to come and live among us as Yeshua. And you can see the sameness yet separateness in these verses - He speaks as God himself, yet tells us that the Lord of Hosts has sent Him. We also see the God’s Son mentioned several times in the Tanakh (Jewish Scriptures): Psalm 2:2 - Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Proverbs 30:4 - Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name? Surely you know! Daniel 7:13 - and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. So although this idea seems alien to most Jewish people (and frankly, rather bewildering to most believers) a careful study of the Scriptures shows us that Yeshua did not suddenly appear two thousand years ago. As He says of Himself; “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).
Beyond doubt, without Judaism, Christianity would not exist. Judaism laid the foundation for biblical Christianity, but for the work of the Lord to be complete, it required something to be built on top of a foundation. Without additional layers, all you have are beginnings without something that is whole or functional. Jesus, of course, is a Jew, and He is also the sovereign King of the universe that is the head of the Christian Church. Many consider modern Jews to be in a class held to a different religious standard, falling into a group characterized by a unique application of God’s grace. Biblically speaking, in the New Covenant, nothing could be further from the truth. A Christ-rejecting modern Jew is as much of an idolater as a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist or a militant pagan. Without regeneration, they all will merit condemnation. Therefore, to say that any Jew who rejects Jesus as the Messiah will endure the wrath of God in the fires of hell forever - that is not a threat, that is not fear-mongering, that is not anti-Semitic, it is a reality of the Gospel. To suggest otherwise makes a mockery of God’s holiness, tramples Christ’s work underfoot and spits in the face of God’s truth. The reality is, when it comes to how God views humanity, there are no special categories, because there are only two groups of people: the elect and the non-elect. You are either a child of God or not. You are either an eternal member of Christ’s Church or not. Yes, in the time of the Old Covenant, Israel was a biological people who lived in a physical kingdom defined by geographic borders. But now, after the Cross, there is neither Jew or Gentile, because all are one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28). Israel is a people, not a place. Legitimate Jews are members of a spiritual community, and inclusion in this group has nothing to do with ethnicity or politics. Biblically speaking, now that Christ’s work is finished, Israel refers to the people of God all over the entire world, regardless of who your parents are. Now, to be a member of Israel or a spiritual Jew is best understood as being a member of a borderless tribe that lives in and among all nations on the planet. The true people of Israel transcend time, language, color, nationality and ethnicity. The apostle Paul’s exposition here is helpful because he was a Jew who was also an expert in the Hebrew Old Testament. He helps all to see what the Old Testament Scriptures really mean in the context of Christ. Hence, as the apostle Paul makes clear in Romans 9:6-8: For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants … it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants. What does this mean? That not everyone who says they are a Jew is actually a real Jew. Salvation does not come by bloodlines; it comes from the election of a sovereign God. As Paul will go on to say in Romans 11:25-27, what ultimately matters is not defined in human terms - it is defined by whether you are a child of the promise and profess faith in Jesus Christ. This is what Paul writes in Romans 2:28-29: For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God. This means that the true sign of belonging to God is not natural; it is not a physical sign without; it is the regenerating power of God within. In Galatians 3:22-29, the apostle Paul writes to the church in Galatia, which was located somewhere in modern-day Turkey. This means that at the time, Paul was speaking to non-Jewish Gentiles. He writes: But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise. Paul begins in verse 22 by saying, “Scripture has shut up everyone under sin.” In other words, because of sin, all human beings are inherently the same. They are all sinners, and this sentence does not discriminate. The apostle then goes on to write that because sin is universal, everyone needs a Savior, and therefore anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved. He says the Mosaic Law in the Old Testament had no special saving power. All the Jewish Law did was point people to Christ. So now, any person who has faith in the Messiah will be justified and reconciled to God. In Christ, there are no longer any divisions or dividing lines, because all are one in Him. Having this Christocentric understanding of the Old Testament is important because it helps to begin to clarify who the Old Testament is really about. The big picture is that biblical Judaism laid the foundation for Christ, but without Him, you have something that is incomplete, non-functional and devoid of content that sustains faith.
The Judaism of rabbinic tradition which comes from the Talmud is not Jewish or Biblical at all. Original Judaism, the first and true one, is the one described in the writings of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Biblical Judaism looked forward to the Messiah. Modern Judaism looks back to the Messiah God already sent and says, “Pass.” Biblical Judaism had a God-ordained system of atonement. Modern Judaism lacks a biblical system of atonement and therefore condemns itself. Biblical Judaism was based on faith. Modern Judaism is based on works. The rabbis may claim that they observe the “Torah", but the truth is that they never observed the Law of Moses. They don’t even try to. What they call “The Torah” is actually the teachings and traditions invented by the Sages, many thousands of years after Moses. The 'Oral Law' was never given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, but it's nothing more than urban legend. It's a myth, a fable, a fairy tale. It's a lie, it's a scam, it's a fraud. Rabbis made the whole thing up. You see, if there is no actual 'Oral Law', then there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha. If there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha, then there is no need for rabbis. And when there is no need for rabbis, there are suddenly thousands of people left without their power, without their authority and without their paychecks. An entire industry to which people inject billions of shekels would be nullified. Rabbinic Judaism has no leg to stand on and it's built on sand. This form of deceit either throws away or twists passages that clearly foreshadowed Israel’s Messiah. A plot conceived hundreds of years ago to remove Jesus from the Jewish people. Orthodox rabbinical Judaism has gotten it's believes from those who never walked with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the Pharisees. The brood of vipers. Whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones. Sons of the devil. Hypocrites. Let no one cheat you. Today it is simply impossible to keep the commandments of the Torah given at Sinai. Because the commandments of the Torah revolve around the temple, the tabernacle, the priesthood, the altar and at the core of it all are the sacrifices that cover sins. But these have not existed for 2000 years. Almost all the commandments that Moses gave are closely tied to the service in the temple. Under the Mosaic covenant, the worship of God was carried out in the temple. Trying to live according to the Mosaic covenant these days without temple, tabernacle, the altar and the sacrifices is like trying to ride a bike without wheels. Secondly, when the temple was destroyed, 2000 years ago, the rabbis had to invent Judaism anew, so that it would work without the service at the temple and the Holy of Holies. Though they kept using the terms “Judaism” and “Torah” they changed the definition: no more biblical Judaism based on the Torah, but from then on it was the traditions of the rabbis. The temple, the priesthood, the altars, the sacrifices and the tabernacle were replaced by new customs. Most of 'Jewish' traditions have even been taken from other peoples, among whom the Jewish people lived during times of exile: Talismans, the Hamsa (hand-shaped charms), Lag b’Omer, wearing of a kippah/yarmulke, seances, wrapping of tefillin, mezuzahs, lying prostrate on the graves of the famous rabbis, the kashrut laws of separating meat and dairy, kabbalah, Bar Mitzvahs, displaying pictures of famous rabbis, saying mantras and even the tradition of breaking of a wine glass at weddings. All these beloved traditions are not mentioned once in the Bible. You might wonder now: But wait, doesn’t the Torah mention the tefillin and the mezuzah? Not really. The sages chose one or two words from a verse taken out of its context and by force gave it a new meaning. While the New Testament is the most natural continuation of the Old Testament namely the fulfillment of OT prophecies about the Messiah, historians admit that between the Judaism of the rabbis, reflected in the Talmud, and the Old Testament there’s hardly any connection. The great irony here is that while the NT was written by Jews and describes the life of the Jewish Messiah the rabbinic tradition on the other hand - the “Oral Law” is based on a Gentile a descendant of Sisera, that converted: Rabbi Akiva. 2000 years ago the heroes of faith among Israel were biblical characters like Daniel, Noah, Deborah, Joseph, Solomon, and many more. However, today these have been replaced with characters like Rabbi Schneerson, Rabbi Akiva, Rabban Gamaliel, Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak, Rabbi Pinto, Rabbi Eliezer Berland and so on.
And in case you still insist that you keep the commandments of the Mosaic covenant, here is a little questionnaire to examine yourself. It contains some of the most basic commandments according to which everyone can test if he REALLY keeps the Mosaic covenant: - Do you make sure that there is no animal fat in your diet? Like it is written in Leviticus 3:16? - Will you stone your kids if they should curse you? As written in Leviticus 20:9 - Do you avoid to shave? As written in Leviticus 19:27? - Do you take Homosexuals and kill them? As written in Leviticus 20:13 - When you buy clothes do you make sure they’re not made out of Shatnez, a mixture of wool and linen? As written in Deuteronomy 22:11? - Do you make sure you go up to Jerusalem on the three pilgrimage feasts to bring your offering to the priests? As commanded in Exodus 23:14? These were just a few examples among hundreds of commandments that are even more complicated. Therefore, the answer to the question, “Why follow an imitation if we have the original?” is: “We agree!” The New Testament is the natural continuation of the Old Testament namely the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the descriptions of the Messiah’s life. But it is the Talmud that abandoned and left the law of Israel and made itself a new way. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD Israel was left with two main options from which only onecould be chosen: Go for the Judaism of the New Testament based on the Messiah Yeshua to whom the prophecies of the Old Testament pointed, or the tradition of the rabbis based on the sect of the Pharisees… Even from a chronological point of view the Judaism of the New Testament preceded the Judaism of the Talmud, since the writings of the New Testament were completed already by the first century AD while the writings of the rabbinical tradition, the Talmud, was formulated hundreds of years later. Looking at the content of the first writings of both groups reveals the truth even more clearly: Chronologically, the last book in the Old Testament is Malachi. It closes the Old Testament. Interestingly enough, Malachi chapters 3 to 4 start with the hope for a Messiah and end with the hope for a Messiah. “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” (Malachi 4:5-6) The transition from the Hebrew scriptures to the New Testament is a natural and smooth one. Among the writings of the New Testament it is known that the Gospel of Mark was written first. It starts with the following words: “The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” (Mark 1:1-3) Now, let’s look at the opening words of the sages’ writings: The Mishna starts with the Berakhot, the blessings. It says: “From when may one recite Shema in the evening? From the time when the priests go in to eat their Terumah, until the end of the first watch - so says Rabbi Eliezer. And the Sages say: Until midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: Until the break of dawn.” (Berakhot 1:1) Judge for yourselves, which of the two writings is the most natural and and logical continuation of the Old Testament? Which of the two gives an appropriate answer to the messianic hope with which the Old Testament ends? To sum things up: Don’t let them cheat you! No one really keeps the commandments of the Sinaitic covenant. To us and to the rabbis a new covenant was given. The new covenant that the rabbis follow is the rabbinical tradition that they made up themselves. The New Covenant that we follow is grounded in God’s Messiah. And what about you? Which covenant do you follow?
Depends on what you mean. If you're referring to the Tanakh, then you're wrong. Jesus is the Messiah Who was prophesied in the Old Testament. If you're referring to the Talmud, then you're right. It's not in there. But then again, the Talmud is not the Word of God. That unkosher pile of Babylonian pig excrement wasn't even written down until 220 AD. The 'Oral Law' was never given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, but it's nothing more than urban legend. It's a myth, a fable, a fairy tale. It's a lie, it's a scam, it's a fraud. Rabbis made the whole thing up. You see, if there is no actual 'Oral Law', then there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha. If there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha, then there is no need for rabbis. And when there is no need for rabbis, there are suddenly thousands of people left without their power, without their authority and without their paychecks. An entire industry to which people inject billions of shekels would be nullified. Rabbinic Judaism has no leg to stand on and is built on sand.
I love you my dear Sister🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 You explained that so well. My kids Dad was Jewish. Unfortunately he passed away without accepting Jesus as his Savior😢 But I pray for his family everyday, and for all of the Jewish people & the Muslims. I believe Jesus will return soon & I pray that God will use your channel to convert those who are lost all over the world🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
That was so well spoken 👏 God bless you.
Praise be to the Lamb of God. 🙏
Amen
Wow, this was very informative. I can definitely see why they were expecting Jesus to be an earthly king or in the political sector. Thank you for explaining this Trysten ❤️
Good information. Thank you . God bless you.
Let us pray for Israel that they will know that Jesus Christ is Lord , God bless you sister, and love you from India.
I’ve got some family members to share this with
Well Spoken, well done, well researched! Hashem Bless you dear. Rev. Philip Bloomfield
😢. I am speechless
😢😭
Great video Trysten! I'm so glad you're my sister in Christ! Nope, Judaism flows naturally into Christianity, and although the Jews who are saved join the church, remember the olive tree Paul spoke of, and how the Gentile believers are grafted in. So we join the Jews in a deeper way than they join us! Keep going Trysten, we love you!!
Pride, is the only core-reason. You did a great job presenting the facts. But Pride, is why they are blind... but not for long!
i ALWAYS wondered why they HATE Jesus...makes no sense for them to do so..thanks for sharing
I don’t know that Jewish people necessarily “hate” Jesus. I think a lot of the reason they reject Him as the messiah is because a lot of Jewish people are secular and don't really know why they don't believe - they're just told it from generation to generation. Like, "We're Jewish, we don't believe Jesus is the Messiah." But, it doesn't make sense because Jesus is a JEWISH RABBI. A really good book is More Than a Carpenter by Josh McDowell!
@@trystentice yeah, thank you.
@@trystentice I’m Jewish and I don’t hate Jesus
Jews don’t believe him as their savior. Not believing so, is NOT the same as hating Jesus. So please stop spreading misinformation.
@@trystentice look at all the anti-semites you're attracting...Proud of yourself? Revelation 2:9? Trash...
Jewish guy here.
1. It isn't the Jewish expectation, it is the biblical expectation. The idea of Jesus coming to get rid of sin and then come back another time is completely nfounded and only a Christian answer.
2. All biblical scholars (Jewish, Christian, and athiest alike) agree that the verse in Gensis isn't referring to a plural in the Godhead, rather it is the royal we, or God talking to angels as we see he does in other parts of the Bible.
3. Saying commandments are fulfilled in Jesus is meaningless sttatement. For example this is what scripture says about circumcision, "And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your descendants after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised."
Please explain how this passage is being fulfiled "through Christ" ? Did God not know it wouldn't last forever, becasue Jesus would come?
I would also like to know what type of Jewish education you got. Do you even read Hebrew?
The first followers of Christ were Jewish. The apostles Peter and Paul and many others. And like them, you are also a Jew that follows Jesus. Jews that genuinely accept Christ as Lord and follow him make the best Christians. 🙏✝
maybe they don't believe in Jesus because they're not the true Jews

Sister, you should listen to Tovia Singer and understand why truly jews do not follow jesus
Actually, the brightest ones are either atheists or believers. The better question is why Tovia Singer does not debate Hebrew-speaking believers.
No one should listen to that hypocritical, cherry-picking, Bible-twisting, legalistic Pharisee who got demolished by Dr. Michael Brown back in the early 90’s. Tovia Singer is one of the most disgusting and repulsive people I have ever had the misfortune of coming across online. His unhealthy obsession and demonic hatred against Israel’s rejected and blessed Messiah needs confronting and rebuking. Christophobia and Bibliophobia like this comes from the heart of a scared and tortured soul. I've never been impressed by any of Tovia’s arguments. They vary from reasonable but not convincing to rather poor and even dishonest. It's all just double standards, empty noise, half truths, whole lies, plain insults, false accusations (like against the apostle Paul for example) and baseless conspiracy theories. He should be wearing a tinfoil hat instead of a yarmulke. Everything that he says can be refuted in Dr. Michael Brown’s five volume series Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus.
Wait until you realize there isn't a star of David but a star of remphan (Kiyyun). And Jewish is not Judean
I met a Gentile who converted to Orthodox Judaism. He was very knowledgeable about Judaism, knew Hebrew, pronounced it correctly, and observed Kashrut, Shabbat, and other mitzvot. The only reason I knew he had been a Christian was because he told me. Having accepted the Torah and completing Orthodox conversion, he is Jewish and is to be treated as an equal Jew. He takes on a new identity. He does not remain a Christian. No one calls him a Christian Jew. He was born and raised as a Christian from a Christian family of many generations for sure but he no longer is a Christian; he is a Jew. This makes sense on so many levels. He does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. He does not believe that Jesus is the Son of God. He does not believe that Jesus died for his sins or for the sins of believers. He does not believe that those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ will have eternal life. He does not believe that those who do not believe will be condemned to Hell.
But you Tristen Tice believe all those things about Jesus and that makes sense. You have converted to Christianity. Let's face the truth --- you are a Christian. Why deny it?
You may call yourself a former Jew, a Jew who converted to Christianity but you left the Jewish religion for the Christian religion.
Reform Judaism is the most liberal of the three main movements or streams within Judaism. Reform Judaism is very open to interfaith couples but they say that once a Jew accepts Jesus, that person is a Christian and not a Jew.
If a Jew studies Judaism, it will never lead to Jesus. It is only when that person puts on Christian glasses, so to speak, that Christianity becomes the truth.
Christianity and Judaism share some common scriptures but our understanding, interpretation, outlook, and traditions are very different. Judaism and Christianity share some scriptures but are very different religions.
The only reason that I think you come from a Jewish background is because you have implied it. However, everything you stated in this video is pure Christianity and there is nothing Jewish about it.
The Christian insistence on bringing everyone in world to Christianity makes no sense to Jews. Jews want Jews to be Jewish but Judaism is for the Jews, not the Gentiles. Orthodox Judaism does not proselytize but does allow conversion through a difficult process.
I believe in God. I come from a family of believers in God. Christians tell me that this is worthless, that all must go through Jesus to get to the Father.
I tell these Christians that I believe in the One True God who created the Universe. I do not need an additional God called Jesus. These Christians then become angry and try to convince me that they too only have One God. They make it even more confusing by adding the Holy Ghost. Understanding the Trinity is more difficult than organic chemistry. No child understands. You have to be an adult and pretend to understand difficult words from Greek and Latin. Some Christians are more honest and tell me the Trinity is a mystery and must be accepted on faith.
Orthodox Judaism has many complicated rules but its theology is as simple as it gets: ONE GOD.
I know that the One God is not going to punish righteous good believing people for not adding Jesus.
Jesus is not mentioned in the Old Testament. The Messiah is a Jewish idea and there are references to the Messiah in the Old Testament but that does not mean they refer to Jesus. The the most dangerous Christian belief is that Jesus is God and must be worshipped.
In fact, if God is going to punish anyone it is Jews who worship the additional God called Jesus thereby violating the Ten Commandments.
Why do Christians want to display the Ten Commandments in public spaces even though they don't follow them?
Last time I looked, didn't they include?:
"You shall have no other gods before Me."
"the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD"

The word “Trinity” cannot be found in the Bible, but the truth is that the three of them have been there together all the way along. Genesis tells us that God created the heavens and the earth by his word. John 1 tells us that the Word is Yeshua - that He was with God and was God from the get go, right there at creation. We also see the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, hovering over the waters in the second verse of the Bible. Not sure about this? The first words of the Bible in Hebrew are בראשית ברא אלוהים - In the beginning, God created (or “in the beginning, created God…”, because that’s the way Hebrew sentences are structured). The word for God is Elohim. This word Elohim, very interestingly, is plural. Still not convinced? The decision to create humanity is made. “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”, says the plural God, in plural. Later on we see hints of Yeshua appearing as “The Angel of the Lord”, which could simply be one of God’s many angels, except that those who encounter this One a) identify Him as The Lord Himself, and b) worship Him.
There is no way that an angel of God - even a top level angel - would accept worship that belongs to God alone.
If you want to see what I mean, see what happens when “The Angel of the Lord” turns up to visit Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21, Abraham in chapter 18, and the One who stops him killing Isaac in 22:11, look at the interaction between Samson’s parents and the Angel of the Lord in Judges 13, and consider who the fourth person was in the fiery furnace that Daniel’s three friends were rescued from. As you ponder the texts and the dialogues, look carefully at the way people address this Angel, at the way He refers to Himself, and you will see that there is something divine going on here. This Angel speaks as if He is God, and people speak as if they have encountered God. Because He is. And they have. We also learn of the Third Person, the Holy Spirit, very much active in His own right in the Tanakh - falling upon and anointing people with power to prophesy and act to accomplish God’s will. He empowers the artisans who make the tabernacle, falls upon Saul in 1 Samuel 10, and is spoken of by David in the Psalms and the prophets (“The Spirit of the sovereign Lord is upon me, for He has anointed me…” Isaiah 61). He appears many times throughout the scriptures, helping and enabling people to do the will of God. We even see all three of them together in this verse:
“Come ye near unto Me, hear ye this:
From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;
from the time that it was, there am I;
and now the Lord GOD has sent me, and His Spirit.”
(Isaiah 48:16)
There they all are - all three of them together. The Lord God (Father), the One who He sent, Who was with Him from the beginning (Yeshua) and His Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament.
God repeatedly promises that He would come and live among them, in words that bewilder the mind if you are not ready to accept the deity of Yeshua. He says, “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for behold, I come and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord.
And many nations shall join themselves to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people.
And I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.” (Zechariah 2:10-11)
Yes, it was always God’s intention to come and live among us as Yeshua. And you can see the sameness yet separateness in these verses - He speaks as God himself, yet tells us that the Lord of Hosts has sent Him.
We also see the God’s Son mentioned several times in the Tanakh (Jewish Scriptures):
Psalm 2:2 -
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Proverbs 30:4 -
Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son’s name?
Surely you know!
Daniel 7:13 -
and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.
So although this idea seems alien to most Jewish people (and frankly, rather bewildering to most believers) a careful study of the Scriptures shows us that Yeshua did not suddenly appear two thousand years ago. As He says of Himself; “Before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58).
Beyond doubt, without Judaism, Christianity would not exist. Judaism laid the foundation for biblical Christianity, but for the work of the Lord to be complete, it required something to be built on top of a foundation. Without additional layers, all you have are beginnings without something that is whole or functional. Jesus, of course, is a Jew, and He is also the sovereign King of the universe that is the head of the Christian Church. Many consider modern Jews to be in a class held to a different religious standard, falling into a group characterized by a unique application of God’s grace. Biblically speaking, in the New Covenant, nothing could be further from the truth. A Christ-rejecting modern Jew is as much of an idolater as a Muslim, a Hindu, a Buddhist or a militant pagan. Without regeneration, they all will merit condemnation. Therefore, to say that any Jew who rejects Jesus as the Messiah will endure the wrath of God in the fires of hell forever - that is not a threat, that is not fear-mongering, that is not anti-Semitic, it is a reality of the Gospel. To suggest otherwise makes a mockery of God’s holiness, tramples Christ’s work underfoot and spits in the face of God’s truth. The reality is, when it comes to how God views humanity, there are no special categories, because there are only two groups of people: the elect and the non-elect. You are either a child of God or not. You are either an eternal member of Christ’s Church or not. Yes, in the time of the Old Covenant, Israel was a biological people who lived in a physical kingdom defined by geographic borders. But now, after the Cross, there is neither Jew or Gentile, because all are one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28).
Israel is a people, not a place. Legitimate Jews are members of a spiritual community, and inclusion in this group has nothing to do with ethnicity or politics. Biblically speaking, now that Christ’s work is finished, Israel refers to the people of God all over the entire world, regardless of who your parents are. Now, to be a member of Israel or a spiritual Jew is best understood as being a member of a borderless tribe that lives in and among all nations on the planet. The true people of Israel transcend time, language, color, nationality and ethnicity. The apostle Paul’s exposition here is helpful because he was a Jew who was also an expert in the Hebrew Old Testament. He helps all to see what the Old Testament Scriptures really mean in the context of Christ. Hence, as the apostle Paul makes clear in Romans 9:6-8:
For they are not all Israel who are descended from Israel; nor are they all children because they are Abraham’s descendants … it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
What does this mean? That not everyone who says they are a Jew is actually a real Jew. Salvation does not come by bloodlines; it comes from the election of a sovereign God. As Paul will go on to say in Romans 11:25-27, what ultimately matters is not defined in human terms - it is defined by whether you are a child of the promise and profess faith in Jesus Christ. This is what Paul writes in Romans 2:28-29:
For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
This means that the true sign of belonging to God is not natural; it is not a physical sign without; it is the regenerating power of God within. In Galatians 3:22-29, the apostle Paul writes to the church in Galatia, which was located somewhere in modern-day Turkey. This means that at the time, Paul was speaking to non-Jewish Gentiles. He writes:
But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to promise.
Paul begins in verse 22 by saying, “Scripture has shut up everyone under sin.” In other words, because of sin, all human beings are inherently the same. They are all sinners, and this sentence does not discriminate. The apostle then goes on to write that because sin is universal, everyone needs a Savior, and therefore anyone who believes in Jesus Christ will be saved. He says the Mosaic Law in the Old Testament had no special saving power. All the Jewish Law did was point people to Christ. So now, any person who has faith in the Messiah will be justified and reconciled to God. In Christ, there are no longer any divisions or dividing lines, because all are one in Him.
Having this Christocentric understanding of the Old Testament is important because it helps to begin to clarify who the Old Testament is really about. The big picture is that biblical Judaism laid the foundation for Christ, but without Him, you have something that is incomplete, non-functional and devoid of content that sustains faith.
The Judaism of rabbinic tradition which comes from the Talmud is not Jewish or Biblical at all. Original Judaism, the first and true one, is the one described in the writings of the Old Testament and the New Testament. Biblical Judaism looked forward to the Messiah. Modern Judaism looks back to the Messiah God already sent and says, “Pass.” Biblical Judaism had a God-ordained system of atonement. Modern Judaism lacks a biblical system of atonement and therefore condemns itself. Biblical Judaism was based on faith. Modern Judaism is based on works. The rabbis may claim that they observe the “Torah", but the truth is that they never observed the Law of Moses. They don’t even try to. What they call “The Torah” is actually the teachings and traditions invented by the Sages, many thousands of years after Moses. The 'Oral Law' was never given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, but it's nothing more than urban legend. It's a myth, a fable, a fairy tale. It's a lie, it's a scam, it's a fraud. Rabbis made the whole thing up. You see, if there is no actual 'Oral Law', then there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha. If there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha, then there is no need for rabbis. And when there is no need for rabbis, there are suddenly thousands of people left without their power, without their authority and without their paychecks. An entire industry to which people inject billions of shekels would be nullified. Rabbinic Judaism has no leg to stand on and it's built on sand. This form of deceit either throws away or twists passages that clearly foreshadowed Israel’s Messiah. A plot conceived hundreds of years ago to remove Jesus from the Jewish people. Orthodox rabbinical Judaism has gotten it's believes from those who never walked with the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the Pharisees. The brood of vipers. Whitewashed tombs full of dead men's bones. Sons of the devil. Hypocrites. Let no one cheat you. Today it is simply impossible to keep the commandments of the Torah given at Sinai. Because the commandments of the Torah revolve around the temple, the tabernacle, the priesthood, the altar and at the core of it all are the sacrifices that cover sins. But these have not existed for 2000 years.
Almost all the commandments that Moses gave are closely tied to the service in the temple. Under the Mosaic covenant, the worship of God was carried out in the temple. Trying to live according to the Mosaic covenant these days without temple, tabernacle, the altar and the sacrifices is like trying to ride a bike without wheels. Secondly, when the temple was destroyed, 2000 years ago, the rabbis had to invent Judaism anew, so that it would work without the service at the temple and the Holy of Holies. Though they kept using the terms “Judaism” and “Torah” they changed the definition: no more biblical Judaism based on the Torah, but from then on it was the traditions of the rabbis. The temple, the priesthood, the altars, the sacrifices and the tabernacle were replaced by new customs. Most of 'Jewish' traditions have even been taken from other peoples, among whom the Jewish people lived during times of exile: Talismans, the Hamsa (hand-shaped charms), Lag b’Omer, wearing of a kippah/yarmulke, seances, wrapping of tefillin, mezuzahs, lying prostrate on the graves of the famous rabbis, the kashrut laws of separating meat and dairy, kabbalah, Bar Mitzvahs, displaying pictures of famous rabbis, saying mantras and even the tradition of breaking of a wine glass at weddings. All these beloved traditions are not mentioned once in the Bible. You might wonder now: But wait, doesn’t the Torah mention the tefillin and the mezuzah? Not really. The sages chose one or two words from a verse taken out of its context and by force gave it a new meaning. While the New Testament is the most natural continuation of the Old Testament namely the fulfillment of OT prophecies about the Messiah, historians admit that between the Judaism of the rabbis, reflected in the Talmud, and the Old Testament there’s hardly any connection. The great irony here is that while the NT was written by Jews and describes the life of the Jewish Messiah the rabbinic tradition on the other hand - the “Oral Law” is based on a Gentile a descendant of Sisera, that converted: Rabbi Akiva. 2000 years ago the heroes of faith among Israel were biblical characters like Daniel, Noah, Deborah, Joseph, Solomon, and many more. However, today these have been replaced with characters like Rabbi Schneerson, Rabbi Akiva, Rabban Gamaliel, Rabbi Eliezer, Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi Rabbi Amnon Yitzhak, Rabbi Pinto, Rabbi Eliezer Berland and so on.
And in case you still insist that you keep the commandments of the Mosaic covenant, here is a little questionnaire to examine yourself. It contains some of the most basic commandments according to which everyone can test if he REALLY keeps the Mosaic covenant:
- Do you make sure that there is no animal fat in your diet? Like it is written in Leviticus 3:16?
- Will you stone your kids if they should curse you? As written in Leviticus 20:9 - Do you avoid to shave? As written in Leviticus 19:27?
- Do you take Homosexuals and kill them? As written in Leviticus 20:13 - When you buy clothes do you make sure they’re not made out of Shatnez, a mixture of wool and linen? As written in Deuteronomy 22:11?
- Do you make sure you go up to Jerusalem on the three pilgrimage feasts to bring your offering to the priests? As commanded in Exodus 23:14?
These were just a few examples among hundreds of commandments that are even more complicated. Therefore, the answer to the question, “Why follow an imitation if we have the original?” is: “We agree!”
The New Testament is the natural continuation of the Old Testament namely the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the descriptions of the Messiah’s life. But it is the Talmud that abandoned and left the law of Israel and made itself a new way. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD Israel was left with two main options from which only onecould be chosen: Go for the Judaism of the New Testament based on the Messiah Yeshua to whom the prophecies of the Old Testament pointed, or the tradition of the rabbis based on the sect of the Pharisees…
Even from a chronological point of view the Judaism of the New Testament preceded the Judaism of the Talmud, since the writings of the New Testament were completed already by the first century AD while the writings of the rabbinical tradition, the Talmud, was formulated hundreds of years later. Looking at the content of the first writings of both groups reveals the truth even more clearly: Chronologically, the last book in the Old Testament is Malachi. It closes the Old Testament.
Interestingly enough, Malachi chapters 3 to 4 start with the hope for a Messiah and end with the hope for a Messiah.
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And he will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction.” (Malachi 4:5-6)
The transition from the Hebrew scriptures to the New Testament is a natural and smooth one. Among the writings of the New Testament it is known that the Gospel of Mark was written first. It starts with the following words:
“The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way, the voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” (Mark 1:1-3)
Now, let’s look at the opening words of the sages’ writings: The Mishna starts with the Berakhot, the blessings. It says:
“From when may one recite Shema in the evening? From the time when the priests go in to eat their Terumah, until the end of the first watch - so says Rabbi Eliezer. And the Sages say: Until midnight. Rabban Gamliel says: Until the break of dawn.” (Berakhot 1:1)
Judge for yourselves, which of the two writings is the most natural and and logical continuation of the Old Testament? Which of the two gives an appropriate answer to the messianic hope with which the Old Testament ends? To sum things up: Don’t let them cheat you! No one really keeps the commandments of the Sinaitic covenant. To us and to the rabbis a new covenant was given. The new covenant that the rabbis follow is the rabbinical tradition that they made up themselves. The New Covenant that we follow is grounded in God’s Messiah.
And what about you? Which covenant do you follow?
It’s because it’s not in their holy book
Depends on what you mean. If you're referring to the Tanakh, then you're wrong. Jesus is the Messiah Who was prophesied in the Old Testament. If you're referring to the Talmud, then you're right. It's not in there. But then again, the Talmud is not the Word of God. That unkosher pile of Babylonian pig excrement wasn't even written down until 220 AD. The 'Oral Law' was never given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, but it's nothing more than urban legend. It's a myth, a fable, a fairy tale. It's a lie, it's a scam, it's a fraud. Rabbis made the whole thing up. You see, if there is no actual 'Oral Law', then there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha. If there is no need for Rabbinic Halacha, then there is no need for rabbis. And when there is no need for rabbis, there are suddenly thousands of people left without their power, without their authority and without their paychecks. An entire industry to which people inject billions of shekels would be nullified. Rabbinic Judaism has no leg to stand on and is built on sand.
Keep on worshipping pagan gods Jesus 😂😂
We will continue to worship Jesus who is the One True God of Israel. 😉😉
