"O L-RD, Who are my power and my strength and my refuge in the day of trouble, to You nations will come from the ends of the earth and say, 'Only lies have our fathers handed down to us, emptiness in which there is nothing of any avail! Can a man make gods for himself, and they are no gods? 'Therefore, behold I let them know; at this time I will let them know My power and My might, and they shall know that My Name is the L-RD".
Jeremiah 16:19-21

Q & A – What does a former Christian (Minster) Do, Convert?

June 11, 2011

Question: Shalom my friend, I am an ordained minister who has been studying the Hebrew roots of Christianity for around 10 years.

Q & A – Isaiah 53: Did Jesus Have Long Life?

May 30, 2011

Question:  My question pertains to an objection you raised in your tape series regarding the christological reading of Isaiah 53, specifically verse 10.  This verse says that the Servant’s days will be prolonged.  Jesus, however, died young.  However, if we were to believe in the resurrection, that Jesus rose in the flesh, why can we […]

Q & A – A Christian Defends Matthew by Insisting That the Author of the First Gospel Used the Septuagint in His Quote of Isaiah to Support the Virgin Birth

May 30, 2011

Question:  Rav Singer,Why did you say Christians mistranslate the scripture by saying “almah”doesn’t mean “virgin,” when their translation of virgin comes from theSeptuagint’s “parthenos,” not the Hebrew  “almah”?  “Parthenos” does mean “virgin.” They didn’t mistranslate but used a different text.  This is pretty well known, did you not know?  I don’t think this is a very good […]

Q & A – Has God Divorced Israel? What is the Meaning of the ‘New Covenant’ Promised in Jeremiah?

May 27, 2011

Question: Rabbi, How do you explain the divorce in Jeremiah?  How do you explain that the Jewish people are divorced from God by His own word?  How do we as Jews get back to God under the Law which prohibits us from coming back?  I am not saying that we are no longer God’s Chosen […]

Q & A – Who was Jesus?

May 27, 2011

Question: Apparently, you guys have not read about the foolishness of the Sanhedrin 2000 years ago.  Or perhaps, God has hardened your hearts. “Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani?” I’m sure you understand this as clearly as the Sanhedrin 2000 years ago understood this.  Do you really believe that a poor carpenter born in Bethlehem of the […]
