Is the Jewish bible (Torah) identical to the Christian bible (Pentateuch), word for word? If so, did it come from the same original, I assume, Hebrew manuscripts? Do the Jewish people recognize the rest of the OT? Is there something in the Jewish religion that causes them to not recognize Christ and the new testament? | ||||||

Shalom Fcs, The Torah (or the Law) is actually the first 5 books of Moses, but many Jews will use the term Torah to include the entire OT. (They do not call it the OT, they often speak of the entire Scriptures as the TaNaKH) It contains the same books as the Christian Bibles except the order and designation of the books are a bit different. The Torah or the Law: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. The Prophets come after Deuteronomy and include Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel thru 2 Kings and are called Early Prophets Then you have Isaiah thru Malachi called the Latter Prophets. Then you have what's called the Writings (that you read of Jesus speaking about): Psalms, Proverbs, Job, Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations, Ecclesiastes, Esther, Daniel, and the Jewish Bible ends with 1 and 2 Chronicles. Once again, other than the order and the designation (like Daniel not being considered a prophet) the Jewish Holy Scriptures are the same as what we use. The wording would be very much like our Bibles, they too have more than one English "translation" but like our different translations it all boils down to the same word of God. Hope this helps Cheri |

Isn't the jewish people still awaiting their messiah? What is it that prevents them from recognizing Jesus and the new testament? | ||||||

Hiya Fcs, I did neglect to answer that part didn't I? I'm sorry. Yes, they are still waiting for Messiah. There have been men over the centuries, even before Jesus, that they thought might be the Messiah but it turned out they were not. (The Jews have a list of sorts of what the Messiah will be like and what he will do.) We have a Jewish believer here at SBF and he can probably answer more fully, maybe even more correctly. But for now, my understanding is that the Jews rejected Jesus around the time He began equating Himself with God. The Jews do not believe that Messiah is God or that he will be God. Their whole belief system is based on the Sh'ma, "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one God!" Deut. 6:4 As you read the gospels you will see that He has many Jewish followers that walk away when He begins saying things like "...If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him." (Jn. 14:7) and "...I and the Father are one..." (Jn. 10:30)and "...before Abraham was, I Am..." (Jn. 8:58) The Jews just could/can not accept that Jesus was/is God. Hope this helps till you can get a more complete answer :o) Cheri |

Dear Cheri, Somewhat along the lines of "I and my Father are one..." why do you think Jesus said the words, "why callest me thou good, there is none good but our Father in heaven?" Do you think the Jewish people rejected Jesus because he admitted that he is not good? flyman |

Hello flyman, Jesus, in saying there was no one good but God, was claiming Diety for Himself (Mark 10:18)! The Jews rejected Him- in part- because He was claiming to be God! (John 8:58, 10:30-33) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
