    Historicity of Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament

    I am interested in what cold, hard facts we have regarding the historicity of the Hebrew Scriptures/Old Testament. This question has suddenly become very important to me, and I was recently reading that archaeologists have not even been able to confirm the existence of a very large kingdom...

    No longer Male or Female?

    Alrighty. Here's a question that I hope is neither offensive nor redundant: I sometimes seem to hear Christians complain about believers in Yeshua still calling themselves Jewish and calling others Gentiles.

    First off, I'd like to thank everyone who has kindly responded to my questions so far. :) Here's my second big question (this is one that REALLY puzzles me): If Messianic Jews tend to believe that the Jewish roots of the faith of Yeshua have been lost by Christianity, and that much...

    Why has G-d allowed Moschiach to be abused for 2,000 years?

    I have seen, at several Catholic sites, a question that goes something like this: "If the Catholic Church was not the True Church, and Martin Luther did in fact re-instate the true Church, then why would G-d have allowed the Church to be absent from the world for over a thousand years?"...

    Are Jews allowed (by Moslems) to convert to Islam? And if so, how are Jews who convert to Islam treated by Moslems? Are they treated poorly or distrusted?
