The word T-N-K comes from the first letter of each section of the book, (T=Torah, N= the Hebrew word for Prophet, K= the Hebrew word for writings). Ancient Hebrew didn't have vowels, so they put the "eh" sound in-between each Consonant...

The Purpose of the Parables Matthew 13:10 Then the disciples came and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in parables?" 11 And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

There is a lot of truth in this video. You do not need to know everything to know the truth, but to be a follower of the Messiah. The New Testament is the final Word of Elohim (Hebrews 8; read Jeremiah 31:31-34; read Matthew 22:41-46; Mark 12:35-37 and Luke 22:41-44; read Psalms 100:1).

There are two deaths. I'm sure you will agree. Our physical bodies die and then our souls go to be judged. Jesus died the first death on the cross. And he also experienced the second death, which is the soul tormented for sin. So if you believe in him And accept him as your saviour you will not experience the second death.

As a Mizrahi Jew, I have read and studied the Tanakh in its original language like the majority of other Jews for thousands of years. Hashem specifically said that anyone who repents will be forgiven and forgotten repeatedly. The purpose of the Messiah does not include dying for mankind's sin. In fact, Hashem prohibited human sacrifices. We are an educated people. Who rejects your Messiah. That follows the God of Israel and Israel alone!

Yet, most who follow Judaism do not believe in an afterlife; and those who do, don't agree on how it is we get there. Jewish people don't read the Bible. It's like a lawyer not reading the statutes.

Jews DO read the Bible. They study it in incredible depth in its original language. The NT is not part of the original Scriptures. It was added a few thousand years later. It is not relevant to them, as these additional writings contradict the Jewish Scriptures. And God says Not to add to the Scriptures. The Talmud is not only rabbinical scholarship, which Jews do read and respect, as you would listen to a professor at university. The Torah was given orally, and then Moses wrote it down, as well as Joshua for the final bit. There are things in the written Torah that need Oral explanation. E.G. God says the animals must be slaughtered ‘in the way I have shown you’. There are no written instructions. This was passed on orally, as were the restrictions for the Sabbath, the definition of ‘afflict yourselves’ for Yom Kippur, etc etc.

[@andyfairchild]

Thank you for your response. I think you'll find that the New Testament is a continuation of the old testament. I can prove it. I wrote a book. It's called Jesus in the Torah. I change the title from Jesus in the Jewish Bible to Jesus in the Torah it's the second edition. Would you be open to reading it?

Thank you for standing up for our people. The accusations this man makes is almost criminal. He makes so many false claims in this video I don’t even know where to begin. Jews study the Bible constantly. There is no Old Testament in Judaism. He doesn’t even know what Tanakh means, and he is untruthful about the authenticity and purpose of the Talmud. Jesus is never mentioned in the Talmud. His citation does not even exist. Further, Isaiah is not talking about Jesus. He is never mentioned in the Bible. Isaiah is talking about King Hezekiah. Everyone knew it then, and Jews know it today. This is typical of idol worshipping Christians where they take a verse here and a verse there to justify their fairy tale religion. Read everything in context and entirety and you will see that G-d is One. And he is not a man, he never can be. And it is forbidden for a man to die for another man’s sins. It’s all bogus. I say this in love, stop spreading lies and come to the truth.

I answered the second comment you made in a video I just posted entitled "Tanakh compared to Old Testament" about the Tanakh and the Old Testament and you are correct. Those who follow Judaism call their Holy Book the Tanakh, whereas those who follow Christianity call their book the Old Testament. What many don't know is that both books use the same Hebrew language source material, something called the Masoretic text; and both the Tanakh and Old Testament contain the same content. I will answer your comment about being Jewish means not believing in Jesus in a separate video that I will post in the next few days. Thanks for the comments.

[@andyfairchild]

Thank you Benjamin for your comment that if a Jewish person believes in Jesus they are no longer Jewish. This caused me to think deeply about what it means to be Jewish and to create a video in response entitled: To be Jewish means you believe in Jesus. Contrary to popular belief, those in the Tanakh believed in Jesus as the Messiah as shown in my new video. Abraham, Job, and Isaiah each believed that God would send the Messiah (Jesus) to appear on earth and die for our sins. This startling news to some is fully supported by the Tanakh. Thank you for your comments.

Greetings. When you talk about "Jews", you have to understand that there are many types of Jewish denominations or types if you will. You can be Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, Ultra-orthodox, Humanistic, Reconstructionist, etc. Some are like me and are Jewish but don't fall into a denomination. Some are just culture Zionist, some are very religious, etc. Judaism is many things like a philosophy, a theology, and various ideologies. Some Jews embrace modern commentary while many generally look to the ancient Sages. While you can find some rules in the Talmud, many are in the 613 Mitzvah, which you will locate in the "Jewish Bible". As for believing that Jesus is a half man and half god, "Normative Judaism would have a problem with this idea because that is in line with ancient polytheism. For the Jews that claim to believe in Jesus, they are called Messianic Jews. But the truth is, they are just Christians with a different name.
