| Jews for Judaism wants to keep Jews Jewish. | |
| But keeping Jews Jewish has nothing to do with the Bible. | |
| No surprise that it rejects Jesus as the Jewish Messiah. | |
| Christian missionaries like Jews for Jesus claim that Jesus is the Jewish Messiah. | |
| Why has Judaism rejected this assertion for 2,000 years? | |
| Because Jews don't follow the Bible, that's why. | |
| They can't, since their priesthood is gone forever. | |
| And without a priesthood, the Old Testament makes Judaism null and void. | |
| So the rabbis threw out the Old Testament and replaced it with a Talmud. | |
| The Talmud's Jewish Messiah is not the divine Messiah of the Bible. | |
| Theirs is the rabbinic messiah of Maimonides, found in his 12th century convoluted laws of the king. | |
| Anyone can claim to be the messiah. | |
| Or a group of people can claim that someone is the Messiah. | |
| See the rabbi's cunning? | |
| He insinuates that it was a group of people that produced the Messiahship of Jesus. | |
| No way! It was Jesus himself who claimed to be the Messiah when speaking to the woman at the well. | |
| However, if that person fails to fulfill all the criteria found in the Jewish Bible, he cannot be the Messiah. | |
| According to the Christian scriptures, Jesus seems to have understood this. | |
| As he was being crucified by the Romans, he cried out, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? | |
| You pompous ass! | |
| You claim to follow the Jewish Bible? | |
| If you did, you'd understand that Jesus was quoting Psalm 22 to show that he was fulfilling its prophecies, such as, They pierced my hands and my feet. | |
| They gave me vinegar to drink. | |
| They cast lots for my vesture. | |
| Ironically, according to the rabbi's own argument, his Messiah is automatically disqualified. | |
| If that person fails to fulfill all the criteria found in the Jewish Bible, he cannot be the Messiah. | |
| That's right. His Messiah must fulfill the Old Testament prophecies that he would be born in Bethlehem, of a virgin, before the destruction of the Second Temple, of King David's line, which no Jew can now prove. | |
| Bear the sins of Israel as the suffering servant and conquer death by his resurrection. | |
| But the rabbis distorted and abrogated all of these biblical prophecies to justify their rejection of Jesus. | |
| The Hasids, continuing in rabbinic error, recently claimed Rabbi Schneerson as the Messiah. | |
| But after praying around his grave for a week hoping he'd rise from the dead, they gave him up for a corpse. | |
| Now, the coup de grace. | |
| In order to deal with Jesus' failure to fulfill the biblical messianic prophecies, missionaries argue that he will accomplish them when he returns in the future. | |
| It is important to understand that this doctrine of a second coming is an admission that Jesus did not fulfill the messianic criteria. | |
| He means the Talmudic criteria that snubs biblical criteria. | |
| Christ affirmed that according to the scriptures, he, the Messiah, must first suffer, then rise from the dead, and come again to punish all who disobey the gospel. | |
| And that means Jews. | |
| It's your Messiah, Mr. | |
| Rabbi, not ours, who will be the failure. | |
| As Jews, we prefer to wait for the real thing. | |
| Wait a minute. Having crucified Christ, the true King of Israel, Jews have since declared dozens of messiahs like Bar Kokhba and Sabbatai V. Were they the real thing? | |
| Nah. The rabbi's real thing will be the Antichrist, who the Orthodox Church teaches will be a Jew. | |
| And I would not, dear viewers. |
