That all said, though, I’ve gotten a better sense of how probably many Jewish people of today view our testimony about Christ, specifically from having watched a number of videos on YouTube by Rabbi Tovia Singer. I haven’t seen most of his videos, as he’s made a lot of them over many years, but from those I’ve seen so far, his explanations on Jewish interpretations of Christianity are certainly very challenging. They haven’t convinced me that I should renounce my faith in Christ or to convert to Judaism, but I do now have a much better understanding of probably why many Jews regard the Christian faith to be deception and lies, and in this too, as in everything else, we Christians should be quick to listen and slow to speak.
I will mention here just one objection that Rabbi Singer has brought up. For weeks after I watched this video, I wondered about it and questioned what the answer to this objection might be. In Galatians 3:16, Paul the Apostle writes that G-d’s promise to Abraham was to his seed, singular, and not to his seed, plural, and that Abraham’s seed is Christ. I prayed especially for understanding on this question, and I believe one day that the Lord brought me the beginning of an answer.
Paul writes a lot on the importance of having faith in G-d, and it is through having sincere faith in Him that both Jew and Gentile can please God. And that is the one seed, coming to Him through that one spirit of faith in Him. The “one seed” means one *type* of seed, in other words. Galatians 3 supports that Paul is talking about faith towards G-d, and he certainly doesn’t mean one seed in terms of actual people, because at the same time, he tells the Christians he’s writing to that they are the seed, and they are not Christ, either, and there are many more than one of them.
why many Jews regard the Christian faith to be deception and lies,
***Just going through various prooftexts of how Jesus fulfilled the mission of Messiah is enough to send jews down that path of lying and mendacity. For instance, they completely contort themselves when confronted with Genesis 49:10, pointing out that either their messiah has already come and gone or that particular bible prophecy is untrue. Similar with Isaiah 53.
