According to this teaching, is Jesus the Saviour. Did Jesus die for our sins according to people who espouse these "teaching?"

Gee, ksen, this screed is merely watered down milk compared to some of the stuff on that website.

For instance, these people advocate that vast chunks of the Bible are not true.

There's enough hogwash here to "purty-up" a plethora of piggies.

BTW, in almost (but not quite) every case, the reluctance to represent any divine name or title in print (i.e. "G-d") is a dead giveaway that the work you are reading is of Jewish rather than Christian origin.

What I want to know is which use of the word "Torah" is in effect here? It keeps being referred to, but it's never defined for the reader. "Torah" has a number of meanings in Jewish literature. Is it used to refer strictly to the Written Law (what we Christians would refer to as the Old Testament, especially the five books of Moses)? Or it it used to include both the Written Law as well as the Oral Law (Talmud)? Which one is held to be more authoritative over the other (Written or Oral)? Why?

Also, I'd like to know what this groups' take is on Rabbi Maimonides. Could the "Torah" being referred to here be his Mishneh Torah?

It is impossible to understand Jesus or his message until we come to a correct understanding of the events that fashioned such persecution of the Jews by the Gentile believers and which contributed to the alteration of the faith of Jesus as can be found to have existed in the first century of Second Temple Judaism.

What persecution, pray? The only persecution in those times was the systematic and vicious persecution of Jewish believers in Yeshua by their fellow Jews. Which culminated, you may recall, in the brutal murder of the head of the Church of Jerusalem, James the Just.

Exactly as was foretold in Matthew xxiii:34-39
