New video! Earlier this year, Reverend Brandan Robertson came out with a Tik Tok video claiming that Jesus was a racist. In a later YouTube video with Dr. Miguel De La Torre, he elaborates that Jesus inherited his racism from his Jewish community. De La Torre makes these same claims in this video and in his sermon, “Was Jesus a Racist?” Their teaching is not just historically and exegetically wrong; it fuels anti-Semitism, something that is unfortunately on the rise today. This is my response.

New video! In this video I use the Tanakh, Josephus, and later rabbinic literature to expand our interpretative imagination when reading how Paul uses the Shema in Romans 3:27-31. I argue what we find in those writings, we find in Paul, that the Shema functions in two ways: to mark Israel's special relationship with God and to justify Gentile inclusion. Enjoy your early access! :)

Description: One of the primary arguments a prominent Jewish counter-missionary gave us for why we should leave Messianic Judaism is that Jesus was a copy of pagan myths and never existed as a historical figure. In this final video of the three-part series, we show why this argument is historically implausible based on what our sources tell us about first-century Jewish views of paganism and the fact that the early Jesus movement was a sect within Judaism.

Part 2 of our series addressing the question of whether Jesus was a copy of pagan myths! This video goes through the primary sources to show the Osiris and Dionysis myths do not support this claim. Let us know what you think!

Description: One of the primary arguments a prominent Jewish counter-missionary gave us for why we should leave Messianic Judaism is that Jesus was a copy of pagan myths and never existed as a historical figure. In this video, we show why his argument suffers from a logical fallacy, and even if the argument were true and sound, it would mean that one of Judaism’s greatest heroes never existed. It’s a weak argument, and we as Messianic Jews should not be bothered by it. 

A podcast exclusive of us sharing some of our journey through college speaking with atheist professors, atheist and agnostic classmates, and Jewish countermissionaries, enjoy!
