And he came with verses like \u201cLet us make men\u201d, and he taught me the trinity.\u00a0 Me, not knowing any better, having never heard of Deuteronomy 6:4;\u00a0 \u201cHear Israel, Y-H-W-H is our God, Y-H-W-H is one!\u201d just accepted that. I am still very angry about that one.<\/p>\n<p>I always had a strong interest in religion, and was delving into it.\u00a0 This led me one day to pondering the question: Why don\u2019t the Jewish people recognize the New Testament?\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t understand it.\u00a0 It was so obvious!\u00a0 Then I realized that I never investigated the matter.\u00a0 But does anybody investigate the fact that the sun will rise tomorrow?\u00a0 It is so obvious! It just couldn\u2019t be that all the Christian nations were wrong and a handful of Jews were right!?<br \/>\nThen I decided to investigate the matter. Somewhere I had picked up the fact that God is one, and I decided to concentrate on that and on the messianic prophecies.<br \/>\nIt took me three days, and then is was as clear as day: The Jews are right and the Christians are wrong.\u00a0 Because of the big role religion had in my life this was quite a shock.\u00a0 But, being young and healthy, I recovered quickly and started working on my next mission: converting to Judaism. This was definitely not easy, nor is it supposed to be, but I made it in Israel. And that is where I am still living now, and I am trying to do my job of being a light unto the nations by bringing the Christian fallacy to the attention of the world.<\/p>\n<p>The main page: \u201cWhy don\u2019t the Jewish people recognize the New Testament\u201d is like I said, edited by my teacher, an orthodox rabbi.\u00a0 It has been scrutinized by an other orthodox rabbi who is originally from America, he went over content and checked it for grammatical errors. (unfortunately there is no cure for my typo\u2019s) It has also been read by my Rosh Yeshiva, (head of a Talmud academy) and he endorsed it.\u00a0 My teacher showed it to his teacher, the Rosh Yeshiva of one of the most high grade yeshiva\u2019s in Israel, in Bne Brak, and he declared that he was very happy with the article.<\/p>\n<p>So I think it is safe to say that the main article reflects the view point of orthodox Judaism.<\/p>\n<p>The article \u201cWhy did the holocaust happen\u201d has been proof read by my teaching rabbi before I put it on the web, and no changes whatsoever were necessary.<\/p>\n<p>All the other links are not proof read by ordained rabbi\u2019s, but are my opinion, which is to the best of my knowledge rooted in the orthodox Jewish tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Eliyahu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article is written by me, Eliyahu, and it is edited by my teaching rabbi, Yitschak Goldstein.\u00a0 He went over it many times, gave valuable advice, suggested additions, and is in general the driving force behind this article.
