Pope Benedict XVI Denies Jesus is the Christ (Messiah?)

 

THE TRADITIONAL JEWISH RESPONSE TO CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES by Yisroel C. Blumenthal

What is the role of the Messiah? 

Judaism believes that the Messiah will be a human king. In 
the time of the Messiah there will be universal peace. The 
temple will be rebuilt in Jerusalem. The Jewish people will 
return to the land of Israel. In the time of the Messiah everyone  
on earth will be united in their worship of the God of Israel. 
The Messiah will lead all of mankind in service of God.

 Christianity believes that the Messiah is a human god. 
Christianity believes that the chief role of the Messiah is to 
die. Through the death of the Messiah the world is redeemed 
of its sins. According to Christian theology, the Messiah will 
come a second time. When the Messiah returns, then all those 
who worshipped him will be rewarded, while those who 
rejected him will be punished.

 These are the basic differences between the two belief 
systems. Judaism and Christianity differ on their 
understanding of the essence of God, the teachings of Moses, 
atonement, and the role of the Messiah. Judaism and 
Christianity have different beliefs concerning these basic 
matters. Only one set of beliefs can be true. Christian 
missionaries spend much energy in an effort to convince Jews 
that the Christian belief system is the one which is correct. All 
the arguments of the missionaries are wasted on the 
knowledgeable Jew. 

 In order for the Jew to be convinced that his belief system is 
correct, he must be sure that the testimony of his nation is true. 
If the Jewish nation is bearing true witness, then any belief 
system which runs counter to their testimony must be false. If 
the Jewish people are telling the truth when they testify that 
God revealed Himself as an absolute unity, then any belief 
system which denies the absolute unity of God must be false. 
If the Jewish people are telling the truth when they testify that 
Moses taught them a living teaching (Torah), then any belief 
system which denies this fact must be false. It is not necessary 
for the Jew to examine the testimony of other belief systems to 
know that Judaism is true. 

 For the Christian to be convinced that his belief system is 
true, it is not enough to be sure that the Christian scriptures are 
reporting actual events. In order for the Christian to know that 
his belief system is correct, he must also determine that the  
Jewish nation is bearing false witness. For if the Jewish nation 
is telling the truth, then even if Jesus performed all the 
miracles which the Christian scriptures claim for him, he 
would still be a fraud. If indeed God revealed himself at Sinai 
as an absolute unity, then anyone who advocates worship of a 
trinity is advocating idolatry. No miracle, no matter how 
spectacular, can serve as justification to worship an idol. In 
order to be an honest Christian one must be convinced that the 
Jewish people are bearing false testimony.

Why are there numerous stories in the torah of people who sinned, and were forgiven through prayer and repentance – WITHOUT A SACRIFICE, such as David in 2 Sam 12:13, or the city of Nineveh in Jonah – and not a single story, ever, of someone who sinned and gave a sacrifice in order to be forgiven?

Why do Christians never mention verses like Hosea 14.2 or 1 Kings 8:44-52 or 2 Sam 12:13 or Lev. 5:11-13 or Ps. 32.5 or Isaiah 6.6-7 which demonstrate that one does not need a blood sacrifice to have their sins forgiven, or verses like Proverbs 21.3 or Psalms 40.6 or Hosea 6.6 or Psalms 69:30-31 or 1 Sam. 15.22 which say clearly that God actually PREFERS other methods of atonement to blood sacrifice, or Jeremiah 7:22-23 which goes so far as to say that God NEVER EVEN COMMANDED US ABOUT SACRIFICES???

Ex-Victoria's Secret Model's New Clothing Line Displays Bible Verses

Ex-Victoria's Secret Model and 'Young & Saved': Christian Clothing Lines Bring Jesus to Schools

God Inspired Fashion, Young & Saved and Other Ministries Represent Jesus in the Classroom

Getting God's Word Back in Schools

Making it Easier for Christians to Share their Faith

Everyday it appears new efforts are being made to remove God and the work of Christians in the country's public schools, but new ministries are sprouting up with unconventional ways to "beat" the system and get Jesus in the classroom.

A new Christian clothing company, God Inspired Fashion, created their high end fashion line with former Victoria Secret Model Kylie Bisutti as a part owner and targeted students as their ministry.

The company knows that Supreme Court ruling, "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District" allows students to "not shed their freedom of speech at the school gate." The clothing worn by Christians can have a positive impact and be a witness to those around them who do not believe, and it is completely allowed to be worn in school.

"God inspired fashion is hoping to reach a larger market by offering a variety of fashionable jeans, tops, and accessories" said Bisutti, who gave up her life as a world famous model to be a wife, mother and business owner. "God inspired fashion is all about spreading God's word everywhere and making it easier for Christians to share their faith and God's love. And that's really what the world needs right now."

God Inspired Fashion is not the only clothing company doing this. Young & Saved, an independent clothing company out of Staten Island, New York, is targeting the urban clothing market with their line of t-shirts, sweat shirts, hats, and wrist bands.

Founded by Chris and Kathy Bahamonde, they use the "Young & Saved" slogan as more than a cool shirt idea, it is a way of life.

Everyday it appears new efforts are being made to remove God and the work of Christians in the country's public schools, but new ministries are sprouting up with unconventional ways to "beat" the system and get Jesus in the classroom.

A new Christian clothing company, God Inspired Fashion, created their high end fashion line with former Victoria Secret Model Kylie Bisutti as a part owner and targeted students as their ministry.

The company knows that Supreme Court ruling, "Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District" allows students to "not shed their freedom of speech at the school gate." The clothing worn by Christians can have a positive impact and be a witness to those around them who do not believe, and it is completely allowed to be worn in school.

"God inspired fashion is hoping to reach a larger market by offering a variety of fashionable jeans, tops, and accessories" said Bisutti, who gave up her life as a world famous model to be a wife, mother and business owner. "God inspired fashion is all about spreading God's word everywhere and making it easier for Christians to share their faith and God's love. And that's really what the world needs right now."

God Inspired Fashion is not the only clothing company doing this. Young & Saved, an independent clothing company out of Staten Island, New York, is targeting the urban clothing market with their line of t-shirts, sweat shirts, hats, and wrist bands.

Founded by Chris and Kathy Bahamonde, they use the "Young & Saved" slogan as more than a cool shirt idea, it is a way of life.

"To spread the gospel and the truths of Jesus Christ, to equip and empower a generation of seekers, and believers that there is a God and Jesus still SAVES!!!" their mission statement proclaims.

"I think it can have a great impact to non believers! We as Christians have been labeled. So to bring Christian fashion into this culture and show the world that we don't have to be dressed half naked to look good is a great idea," Chris Bahamonde told the Christian Post. "Although I am not one to judge anyone on how they dress, I do feel we need to become trend setters and not conform to the ways of this world. Christian clothing needs to stand not only for Christ but what we believe in!"

The Bahamonde's also work with youth at Christian Faith Power Center Church, and were previously involved with Vertical Youth Ministries in Staten Island. The youth they have worked with have embraced the Young & Saved lifestyle, and help share the gospel in their own schools.

"Me personally I don't like to make kids feel like they're my project or my billboard and I speak for myself and my brand when I say this. But I can say it is really encouraging while leading youth and on their own ask to buy a shirt or decide to wear it at there schools or jobs or even in their neighborhoods!" he shared. "It is also biblical (Romans 1:16) and t-shirts are a great tool for evangelizing, great conversation starter. Style is huge in this business kids love to match their hats and sneakers so I feel like its important to keep up with the different styles that are out there but again not conforming."

50 percent of all proceeds from Young & Saved get kicked back into youth ministries, and another 25 percent go to assisting youth in the mission field.

Youth Pastor John Colonello of New Life Assembly in Athens, Atlanta knows firsthand how clothing and young people can have a big impact on those around them.

"I think it's important to have conservative clothes for Christians, especially girls, but that it doesn't look like it's for old people. Conservative, cool n classy. I applaud the Victoria's Secret model for making this sacrifice. If girl's reveal too much it makes it very difficult because guys are very visual. Of course guys have the responsibility of controlling their eyes and thoughts," he said to CP.

"I have a girl in my youth group that wants to do the same thing," he added on how Christian clothing may be the next big evangelism tool in schools.

Perhaps it is best said by CEO of God Inspired Fashion, Angie Frost in that she hopes the world can be changed by the fruit of those daring to wear clothing that gives off the light of Jesus.

Is Jesus The Promised Messiah?

Leading Missionary John McTernan and Rabbi Tovia Singer go head-to-head in a powerful new debate.

 

SNL SKIT HAS JESUS ON MURDEROUS RAMPAGE

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come . 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded , lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 2 Timothy 3  

NBC SKIT HAS JESUS ON MURDEROUS RAMPAGE
'He may be wearing sandals, but He can still kick a--'

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” spoofed famous Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino over the weekend with a gruesomely violent, fictitious movie trailer about Jesus wreaking bloody revenge upon the Romans who killed him.

“He’s risen from the dead,” the parody’s voiceover intones, “and He’s preaching anything but forgiveness. He may be wearing sandals, but He can still kick a–.”

The parody then re-enacts a number of Tarantino’s scenes, only with “Jesus,” “St. Peter” and other biblical characters shooting, beating and slicing their victims, all while sprays of blood splatter the screen.

“Jesus? O sh–!” shouts one victim about to suffer Jesus’ wrath. “Chill, man, chill!”

To which the “Jesus” character responds, “When you get to heaven, say ‘hi’ to my dad,” before blowing a melon-sized hole in the man’s torso.

Tarantino has a reputation for creating blood-splattered and violent films, including “Pulp Fiction,” the “Kill Bill” series, “Inglorious Basterds” and the most recent “Django Unchained,” each of which was spoofed in the parody movie trailer titled “Djesus Uncrossed.”

Guest host Christoph Waltz, who won an Academy Award for his role in “Inglorious Basterds,” played the part of “Djesus” in the SNL trailer.

The voiceover bills the fake movie as “the ultimate historical revenge fantasy.”

Rolling Stone called the SNL spoof trailer “stunning, in the best way possible … a spot-on send-up of Quentin Tarantino’s films, where Jesus (Waltz) rises from the dead, cuts down armies of Romans with swords and Uzis and leaves behind equal amounts hilarious blood and hilarious one-liners. Every last line in this gory sketch was written with impeccable sophistication.”

WND movie critic Drew Zahn, however, found it something less than “impeccable.”

“I’m reminded of the line from Steve Martin’s ‘Cheaper by the Dozen,’ when he declared his children’s pranks to be ‘wrong – funny, but wrong,’” Zahn said. “Yes, the parody is well made, and yes, Tarantino is ripe for a spoof just like this. Shoot, I can even see the humor in it. But its subject matter can only be described with one word: blasphemous.

“If anything in our PC culture should be considered obviously offensive, this is it,” Zahn continued. “Can you imagine the uproar that would occur if SNL made a parody, ‘Muhammad Unleashed?’ People at NBC would be losing their jobs. The ‘sensitivity police’ would be out in full force. It would cause international outcry.

“I just have to believe that if God gifted these actors and writers with such a gift for humor and wit,” Zahn concluded, “that He intended it for nobler purposes than mocking His Son.”

The parody trailer can be seen below (Editor’s note: Contains extreme violence and language that may be offensive to some viewers):


Christian TV host and best-selling author Ray Comfort said, “I wonder if the funny folks at ‘Saturday Night Live’ know that Muslims believe in Jesus Christ, and that they might not like one of their prophets being mocked in a blasphemous skit.”

Comfort said that according to Islam-guide: “Muslims respect and revere Jesus (peace be upon him). They consider him one of the greatest of God’s messengers to mankind.”  While they don’t believe, as Christians do, that Jesus is God in human form, they do revere Him and believe that He performed miracles: “He was sent by God to us as a Messenger, to deliver to us the Bible and to guide humanity to the right path. God gave Jesus the ability to perform numerous miracles so that his people would believe him and follow his teachings. These miracles include curing the diseased, giving sight to the blind and even raising the dead.”

Comfort went on to warn, “If Muslims threaten a man with death simply because he drew a cartoon of a prophet, the ‘Saturday Night Live’ writers and actors might like to think twice if they plan a second spoof because the first mocking clip was so well-received.”

He added, “Take a moment to try and think of any human being in history, whose name has been so hated it has been so mocked and even adopted as profanity. Think of Gandhi, Hitler, Mother Teresa, Churchill, Mussolini, Muhammad, Buddha, Rasputin, Castro, or Lincoln.  No human being, living or dead, good or evil, has had such a thing happen; no human being except one. Only the Name of Jesus is used internationally to cuss. You will hear it commonly used in movies to express disgust. You will hear it on television, on the radio, in songs, in the newspapers, in books and magazines, on the Internet, and in everyday speech throughout the world.”

CAIR Director Calls for Death Penalty for Blasphemers Against Islam

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On February 19, 2013 

The most disturbing thing about this is that “Sharia law”  prosecutions can only take place in the Muslim world. So this looks a lot like an attempt at intimidating and perhaps even causing the death of Atheist and Christian critics of Islam in the Muslim world.

Last August, the director of CAIR St. Louis, Faizan Syed, wrote about his ideas for monitoring social media titled Social Media Task Force.  Sayed wants to create a Muslim youth association who would aggressively monitor the media.  What really stood out was this statement under the section “I have few suggestions to make in this regard” (5th bullet):
“Report anti Islamic and anti Muslim content on the internet to appropriate authorities to take action to remove it and go after those who post it online and prosecute and take actions according to the Shariah ruling.”
Take action according to the Sharia ruling?  Humm… in some countries this could mean death.

CAIR’s thought police would be creepy enough on their own, but left-wing groups already do this sort of thing. But under Sharia law, blasphemy, heresy and any questioning of Islam, or even a cartoon of Mohammed, can result in the death penalty.
Even if CAIR’s Director only meant that the domestic pursuit of Islamic critics should take place according to Sharia law, that would be bad enough as the last thing the United States needs is an Islamic Inquisition, violent or otherwise. But Syed’s talk of an international effort, saying, “There need at least one such team in every country (I know it’s a daunting taks, but one small steps takes us to bigger one)”, shows that we are talking about an international effort that would no doubt extend to countries where violent means could be used in defense of Islamic theocracy.
Islamist organizations such as CAIR exploit American freedoms in a majority non-Muslim country while leveraging the oppressive theocracy of Islam in Muslim countries to threaten critics with death.
