 s Yeshua the promised Messiah of Scripture? What proof can be found to support this belief? Some claim that the narratives about Yeshua are based on pagan stories from other religious systems. What is the truth on this matter? Furthermore, what proof is there that Yeshua was an actual living person, and not a mythic hero for Christians? These matters will be dealt with in this section. Other matters also to be dealt with include many of the ethical issues surrounding Yeshua and His teachings, whether the claim to His divinity holds up to be true, and other key beliefs that are held about Yeshua and His Messiahship. If you have been troubled by an argument laid down by a biblical critic or "anti-missionary" you've come to the right place!

Yeshua said, "No one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him."
From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Yeshua asked the Twelve.
Shimon Kefa answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." |
