Pastor Matthew Janzen, of Ministers New Covenant, took up the challenge to debate the issue of the "virgin birth" of Yeshua/Jesus. In this debate Matthew admitted that it is ok for a New Testament writer to rip half a verse out of a 2 chapter prophecy, such as Matthew 1:23 does with Y'shaiYahu (Isa.) 7:14, and apply it to something which contextually had nothing to do with what the New Testament writer claims. He also admitted that it is ok for Matthew to change words from the text such as "ha'ayl'meh (THE young lady)" to "a virgin" and also "she will call him Aymnu'Al (Immanuel)" to "they will call him." For further study and info see my article on The Virgin Birth of Yeshua/Jesus in Scripture and Myth.
The Coming of Bayn Adawm (Son of Man). Was Yeshua/Jesus a false prophet? A quick analysis of Matt. 26:63-64.
Are There Two YaHs? What about the "Word of YaH?" People have long had issues with texts like B'rasheet (Gen.) 19:24 and Sh'moot (Ex.) 23:20. It is the idea that there is more than one YaH or that Yeshua/Jesus is YaH. It is very confusing depending on who you ask. But New Testament believers often attempt to shoehorn the blasphemer into these texts. They have a tough time with idioms like "hayah dabayr YaHUAH al-Abram," meaning "and then came to be the word of YaHUAH to Abram." Hopefully this article will clarify these ancient idioms and concepts so people can better understand Scripture.
The Rebellion that Never Was... Satan. This article examines the issue of "Satan" primarily in the Turah (Law), and also from the writings and beliefs outside of the realm of the Turah (Law). Once and for all, let us deal with that "dastardly little devil." You might be surprised to find out that the only reference to a "Sh'then" (satan) in the Turah (Law) is to YaH as an "adversary!"
Paul: Apostle of the Stumbling-Block. Read here about the apostle Paul, and find out the truth about who he worshipped, what he taught about the Turah (Law), and the stumbling-block of food offered to idols.
Jesus Prophesied in B'rasheet (Gen.) 5? Is it true? Was the blasphemer (Jesus) prophesied in the names of the genealogy of B'rasheet (Gen.) 5? Or is this yet another unfounded Christian eisegesis?
Is Messianic Judaism/Nazarene belief/Christianity really a "sect of Judaism" which simply lost its way as it developed into full blown Yeshua/Jesus-deity-worship? There are numerous people who have attempted to capture the true "historical Yeshua/Jesus." Jesse Jury is one of them. This is a commentary response to Jesse Jury's article on The Jewish Origins of Christianity and the Jewishness of Jesus.
Over the years there has been this claim that in ancient Aibreet (Hebrew), the Name of the Most High, YaHUAH, in 4 letters, represents the picture of His supposed "Son" Iesous/Jesus/Yeshua being nailed. This theory is promoted by people like Chris Ward and numerous other copycats who haven't actually thought this through. So I decided to do my own photo to illustrate my point, seen below.
Yawd, hay, oo-ah (waw), hay. What do you get? The yawd is the symbol of the hand. The hand of our Creator, who ALONE stretched out the loftiness above and the land below (D'bayrim (Deut.) 4:32-35). The letter hay is a picture of YaH Himself, or one who worships YaH, beholding Him. The letter oo-ah or "waw" is the symbol of the tent peg, used to hold firmly the corners of the tent covering. It is by no means representative of a nail used on a Roman cross. In this case, the u-ah shows that the hand of our Creator YaH is a firm hand which establishes all things. The last letter hay asks us to behold the creative works of YaH, and that He alone is Creator. The picture here is that YaH is the great self-existent uncreated One.
