A "Christian" would have to be defined as one who follows Jesus' teachings, examples and obeys his commands. But yet, the Christian Church doesn't follow Jesus, or obey him, but they follow another, named Paul. Jesus told us to keep the 'Law and the Prophets', and Jesus told us to worship Yahoveh alone. But the Christian Church does neither. Jesus said if we keep his words we would receive eternal life, but the Christian Church ignores him to follow Paul. Jesus' teachings and today's Christian doctrines are not compatible. The Church loves Jesus as a baby in the manger, or dead on the cross, but they have little to do with the adult Jesus who told them to forsake their sins by repentance and obey God's laws - which is central to Jesus' teachings. The Christian Church is not 'Christian' and it will be judged harshly for its apostasy. Read this book to learn more, and avoid that Judgment.

Beginning around the 4th Century, the Christian church accelerated its downhill slide into apostasy. Today the Christian church is nothing at all what we read about in the Book of Acts, and that is because it has set aside Jesus' teachings to follow the teachings of Paul. Jesus' teachings and Paul's teaching are polar opposites and cannot be reconciled, regardless of how hard the church tries to gloss over the differences. Today's Christian Church bases it doctrines on Paul's writings to the exclusion of Jesus' words. And because they have set Jesus' words aside, they have reject God's Torah law which Jesus told us to keep, and that leads to many other problems. And as a result, today the Christian church is divided into hundreds of sects and it is confused and weak. Christians following those corrupt doctrines are lawless, which means God does not answer their prayers (Proverbs 28:9) and they worship in vain (Mark 7:7-9). Read this book to learn much more, and what we must do to be among the redeemed.

This book is a collection of letters from a religious Jew in Israel to a Christian friend in Barcelona on life as an Orthodox Jew. Equal parts lighthearted and insightful, it's a thorough and entertaining introduction to the basic concepts of Judaism.

Jesus gave specific and succinct instructions on how to inherit eternal life, yet the Church sets those teachings aside. Amazing right? I will show you exactly how Christian Church doctrine leads people away from Jesus'teachings, and God's instructions for receiving salvation and what to do about it. You will also read here about the great apostasy, the mark of the beast, the seal of God, what laws does God expect us to keep, the means of saving grace, true repentance, the Church of Laodicea, Jesus' style of evangelism, Jesus' atonement, the nature of God, and much more. If you are a Christian or Jew, you salvation weights in the balance of knowing what is in this book.

In this important study Hays argues against the mainstream that any attempt to account for the nature and method of Paul's theological language must first reckon with the centrality of narrative elements in his thought. Through an in-depth investigation of Galatians 3:1-4:11, Hays shows that the framework of Paul's thought is neither a system of doctrines nor his personal religious experience but the "sacred story" of Jesus Christ.
