  13. Jesus Did Not Fulfill the Messianic Prophecies • The Messiah must built the third Temple (Ez. 37 :26-28). • He must gather the exiles in Israel (Es. 43 : 5-6). • He must spread the knowledge of God in the world, the consequence will be the unification of the world. (Zec. 14 : 9). • He must introduce a era of peace for the world where there will be no more suffering or death. (Es. 2 : 4). • If one of these conditions is missing he cannot be the Messiah.

  14. Jesus Did Not Embody the Personal Qualifications of Messiah • He must be a great prophet like Moses. (Is. 11 : 2). • He must be a direct descendent of King David (Gen 49:10, Is. 11:1…). • He must keep the Torah and teach others to keep it. (Deut. 13 : 1-4).

Christian Interpretation of the Bible is based on mistakes • Biblical verses can only be understood by studying the original Hebrew text ― which reveals many discrepancies in the Christian translation . • Is 7:14 is not about a virgin but a young women. • Is 53 does not refer to an individual but to Israel who is the suffering servant of God. (Is 43 : 8) • …

  16. A necessary preparation • It is very important that our members will be prepared for a possible discussion with Jews who have study their Bible or have been trained by anti missionaries organizations. • A reading of the Jewish literature will help us to understand their arguments and to be prepared.
