Jesus Was Not a Christian, book by Scott Volk
Jesus did not come to Earth and shed His blood to start a new religion called Christianity. He came to fulfill the Scriptures as the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world. For an accurate understanding of God’s purposes for the Church and Israel, we must grasp the foundation and root of our faith. Without this, we diminish the Church’s call to provoke Israel to jealousy. Discover the biblical origins of your faith, and move forward with new inspiration and confidence in your calling as a Believer in Jesus.
With warmth and transparency, Rabbi Jonathan Bernis shares a compelling case for Jesus as Messiah and his own story of coming to believe in Him. A Rabbi Looks at Jesus of Nazareth presents overwhelming evidence that can be traced to the Torah itself and provides Christians the knowledge and tools they need to effectively share Yeshua (Jesus) in a loving and sensitive way with their Jewish family and friends. A companion study guide is also available.
Misconceptions and deceptions have shrouded the truth about Jesus and His Jewishness for nearly 2,000 years. In this powerful DVD teaching, Rabbi Jonathan Bernis goes straight to the Scriptures to reveal a historic and accurate picture of Jesus’ life, teachings, and the Jewish culture that was His own. You will discover how Jesus, the gift of salvation, and the promise of eternal life are not confined to the New Covenant but are found throughout the Hebrew Scriptures as well.
