Synopsis

What is Messianic Judaism? Is it Jewish? Why have Jews historically been targeted by missionaries? What are the methods and psychology of missionaries? What motivates Jewish converts to Christianity? Why aren't Jews missionaries? What do Jews believe about Messiah? Did Jesus fulfill prophesy? Christianity teaches that salvation is only through Jesus Where does this leave Jews? Is the New Testament anti-Semitic? If, according to Deuteronomy 6:4, God is One, how do Christians explain the Trinity? If Scripture says of God, "No man can see me and live," what about John's teaching that God became flesh in Jesus (John 1:1, 14)? Is the "Virgin Birth" the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14? Is Jesus the "suffering Servant" of Isaiah 53? Was Adam's sin transmitted to all his descendants? What about Paul's teaching that the Mosaic "Law" was superseded by "Grace?" What did the early Christians believe about the "End" and is there a "Second Coming?" What do Judaism and Christianity teach about family, sex and asceticism?
