Introduction

I've had it on my mind for some time to write a series of articles showing how the New Testament is testified to throughout the Torah and the rest of the Tanakh.

The New Testament says that the oracles of God are given to the Jews, and it is a fact that all of its authors are Jewish.

1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
- Romans 3:1-2

As I often say to Jews I meet, and sometimes offering a Hebrew New Testament,

If the New Testament is what it says it is, then Jesus is the Messiah, there are two advents, and the first advent would be thoroughly testified to throughout the Torah, and in the very lives of the Patriarchs, in the Passover, and in the Tabenacle, and by hundreds of prophecies throughout the rest of the Tanakh.

It is an unfortunate reality that many Jews get very defensive over Christians. One major reason for this is because many Jews particularly from Europe and even from Israel think Christians are Roman Catholics. And of course Hitler and all his goons were Roman Catholics and they associate anti-semitism with Christianity.

This is not the truth. Roman Catholic dogma and Bible Christianity have nothing in common. And a Bible-believing Christian does not consider a Roman Catholic to be a Christian at all. The New Testament sharply contradicts Roman Catholic dogma on many points. In this blog I mean to sort out some of this mess.

As a Bible-believing Gentile Christian, I associate myself with an Independent Baptist Church, thus I would call myself an Independent Baptist. I believe in the total restoration of Israel and the invincibility of the Jewish people.

Truly, a curious Orthodox Jew could befriend some Messianic Jews or hunt through Messianic material. There are also many sites in existence with the information that I mean to present.

To the curious Jew, whether Orthodox or not, it is my intention to present the New Testament in terms that all Jews can relate to: and that is from the Torah and the rest of the Tanakh.

All I ask is that you read it for yourself and check the prophecies.

All of my references in English from the King James 1611 version.
