Veneration, Mary, Statues

Hi once again guys! I have sorted out Jesus/Yeshua with my friend now. Both names in my opinion are sacred. Dodgy titles given to Mary are co-redeemer,mediatrix,advocate + spouse of the Holy Spirit. There are others I have seen, but I can't remember off hand. I just know that these titles lead non-c...

Mary, Veneration, statues

Thanks Guys! I will read the link for more 'ammunition'. My friend is a very tough lady + is a Rabbi on top of it. But there are many non Catholics who believe that our Faith has its roots in paganism. I once got into an 'argument' with a gentleman who works with Jack Chick - the one who publishes a...

Mary and statues

Hi everyone! My Messianic Jewish friend hates the RCC. Full stop! She believes that because of the RCC all christians have been lied to + led astray. The Greek name Jesus comes from the pagan god zeus. My trying to defend our faith falls on deaf ears! I've given up! We are still good friends, but we...

The Historical Jesus

Hi there! As I can understand after having read your article, there are 2 'Messiahs'. One who is false + One who is the True Messiah. Jesus is false, + Paul fabricated the whole story? Sorry if I sound stupid, but I am not Jewish. I have a Messianic Jewish internet friend, who is not too crazy about...

Veneration of Statues

Hi Hadassah! I fully understand the motive behind a Catholic kissing a picture of Our Saviour, or His mother. Many non Catholics do gaze at photos of loved ones + even kiss the images. The veneration of the Cross on Good Friday, especially kissing the feet of the crucified Christ is a very emotional...

Statues, Pictures etc.

Hi once again! I must admit, I never thought of mentioning the Covenant of the Ark to my Messianic Jewish friend. I have read about it as a pro Catholic argument when idolatry is brought up. Thanks Hadassah for reminding me! I have to admit though that people do get the impression that Catholics 'wo...

Messianic Jews + Statues

Hi there guys! My Messianic Jewish friend is very anti Catholic. She believes that statues, pictures, and even the cross is idolatrous. She says that the only 'item' approved by Yahweh is the menorah (I apologize if my spelling is incorrect!) I become very heartsore at times, because there is such b...

Jesus/Yeshua

Hi Hadassah! My friend believes that it is ridiculous that christians have chosen to give a Greek name to the Messiah who was a devout Jew. She believes that the apostles, especially Paul would never have changed Yeshua's name to the the Greek Jesus. She told me that non believing Jews think it's ab...

Jesus/Yeshua

Hi Hadassah! Thanks for your input. I am confused about non jewish christians + even jewish christians having to be torah observant. I know Jesus didn't come to abolish the law, but he came to fulfil it. He said that the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind + s...

Jesus/Yeshua

Thanks so much for your interesting reply to my question. I am actually very surprised that we have chosen the Greek name for our Saviour, and not His Jewish name which is very beautiful. My Messianic friend insists that the apostles, especially Paul would have called Jesus Yeshua. She is going to s...

Jesus/Yeshua

Hi Hadassah! Thank you so much for your answer to my question. I really appreciate it! By the way I am a Catholic, but know very little about Judaism or Jews who accept that Jesus is the Messiah. I have seen a couple of 'Jews for Jesus' guys who attend a large Charismatic church here in Pretoria. My...

Jesus/Yeshua

I'm from Pretoria South Africa. I have a Messianic Jewish friend who says that we should use the Jewish name for Jesus, because he was a devout Jew. Why do we use the Greek name? It sort of makes sense to me, but I have no idea why Christians chose Greek instead of the Aramaic/Hebrex name for our Sa...
