Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: Cheri did well. One addition. The Jews use the Masoretic Text which they do not alter based on textual criticism and new discoveries. What the Masoretic Text says is what they use; period. There are some rather minor differences and some are of interest, but I don't know them by heart. There are many things in the Jewish religion that causes them to reject Christ, but most have to do with what certain Christians claim Jesus and Paul are teaching as well as disagreements about certain prophesies. If they openly and seriously searched the scriptures for the answer about Jesus, they would find him to be True. MJH |
