Refuting Rabbinic Objections to Christianity and Messianic Prophecies

The oldest debate in the world is over who Jesus really is. This is the book that settles it.

For two thousand years, Judaism and Christianity have clashed over one question: Is Jesus the promised Messiah? The objections are ancient and formidable. Most Christians have never heard them, and fewer still could answer them.

Until now.

Dr. Eitan Bar, a Jewish theologian with a doctorate in Bible and a follower of Yeshua (Jesus), brings this great debate to its summit. He takes the hardest Jewish objections ever raised against the gospel and dismantles them one by one. Then he does something even greater: he walks you through every major messianic prophecy in the Hebrew Scriptures and shows, beyond reasonable doubt, that they point to one man alone.

Bethlehem. The virgin birth. The pierced hands of Psalm 22. The suffering servant of Isaiah 53. The timing of Daniel 9. Thread by thread, the portrait forms, and it has only one face.

When you finish this book, you will not merely believe that Jesus is the Messiah. You will know why, and you will be able to prove it.

This is the definitive answer to the greatest question ever asked. Read it, and never see your Bible the same way again.

Over two thousand readers giving 5 stars. A book many of them called life-changing.

About the Author

Dr. Eitan Bar (born 1984, Tel Aviv) is a Bible scholar, indie-author, and Israeli-Jewish follower of Jesus with multiple advanced degrees in Bible and theology. His unique background — living in Israel, being a native Hebrew speaker, and possessing advanced Christian education — provides a fresh and timely perspective on Christian beliefs and doctrines.

For us, Jews who grew up in Israel, Jesus and His word were never part of the conversation. Not in our school system, not in our synagogues, and not in our media. Nor do we have easy access to the New Testament. Jesus has been studiously avoided, and hidden from our people. Today in Israel, 99.7% of the Jewish population, reject Jesus as the Messiah. How did our country, where the gospel first took place, come to be so adamantly against it?Within Judaism over the last two millennia, any kind of spiritual message had to go through the “gate keepers”, the Orthodox Jewish Rabbis. The Rabbinic Judaism of the Orthodox comes directly from the sect of the “Pharisees”, whom Jesus rebuked:“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.” (Matthew 23:13)Ever since the days of Messiah, the Rabbis have set themselves in opposition to the gospel, blocking the message of Jesus from Israel. They deliberately prevent Jewish people from hearing about the free salvation offered to them in the death and resurrection of their own Jewish Messiah. They have gone to great lengths to conceal Jesus, and keep him the best kept secret in Judaism., keeping our people in spiritual darkness.But now the secret is out!After almost 2000 years, Jesus, or as we call him in Hebrew, Yeshua, can no longer be hidden from the people! Today, our ministry, ONE FOR ISRAEL, reaches Jewish and Arab Israelis exactly where they are – online. We no longer need the rabbis’ permission for anything. We can go straight into the smartphones, tablets, and computers of every Israeli, sharing the saving good news of Yeshua the Messiah!In the past, the message of the gospel came to Israel from outside our borders, delivered by people who didn’t understand our language, our culture, our heritage or our way of thinking. Today the messengers look very different. Now it is Jewish and Arab Israelis who are bringing the gospel back to where it started – back to our own people Israel. We can explain the gospel to our people in a way that makes sense to them, in our own native tongues of Hebrew and Arabic as only Israelis can, and help our people understand who Yeshua really is.The Orthodox rabbis in Israel operate an “anti missionary” organization called Yad L'Achim, specifically to fight against the spread of the gospel among the Jewish people. This very well-funded organization, works very closely with the Minister of Interior in the Israeli government. They seek to prevent Jewish people from leaving the confines of Rabbinic Judaism by any means necessary (not always legally), and relentlessly persecute us, the Jewish believers in Jesus in Israel. With over 90% of the names, photos and addresses of all the Messianic Jews in Israel on file, Yad L’Achim began sending a magazine called “Searching” to the homes of believers in Israel back in 2014. The magazine contains objections and refutations from Orthodox rabbis about the messiahship of Jesus, the credibility of the New Testament, and trying to ridicule and destroy the belief in Jesus. This caused several Jewish believers, even including some who had been missionaries, to deny their faith in Jesus and revert to rabbinic Judaism. Over the past five years, I decided to go over all of their magazines, books and videos, in order to answer their arguments and prove their objections false. Since 2015 we have released about 150 short videos where we share the gospel and directly refute these rabbinic objections to Jesus, New Testament and Christianity. This book is a compilation of transcripts from these videos, all in one place for your consideration. While the content of this book is based on five years of academic research, I did my best to write it in a simple, easy-to-read way, in order to keep this book as short as possible.Please SHARE links to this book! :)
