The Jewish people rejected Jesus Christ as their Messiah due to his humble origins, contemptible life, and despicable end.

The Jewish people's unbelief is a testament to the power of God's Word, and the Gospel is open to all who call upon Jesus Christ. [... more]

The Astonishing Servant of Jehovah (B)

Christianity emphasizes the need for a savior to save individuals from their personal transgressions, iniquities, and sins, whereas Judaism believes that individuals can achieve salvation through their own efforts and good deeds. The book of Isaiah, particularly chapter 53, provides a clear explanation of the atonement and the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ, which is the central message of the Christian gospel.

Are We Really Surrounded by the Saints — Or Is It Just a Metaphor?

God is timeless, existing outside of the linear progression of time. He allows believers to enter into a different realm, known as the Christ time, where they can see and interact with the past and future as if it's happening now. This concept is rooted in scripture, particularly in the books of Romans and Hebrews, where Paul describes the promises made to Abraham and the faith of the heroes of the Bible as if they're happening in the present. By entering into this realm, believers can find encouragement, hope, and confidence in their walk with God, and can see themselves as part of a larger story of faith that transcends time and space.
