So there's a pretty big Jews for Judaism anti-missionary movement out there, and it's the counterpart to Jews for Jesus. But some of their arguments just make me scratch my head. For instance...
1. Why are they opposed to Jesus being called a Son of God when this title was used many times in different applications in the Old Testament?
2. Why are they opposed to God coming in human form? Firstly, God created Man in his image (Genesis 1:27) and, secondly, one of the men who ate with Abraham was called Yahweh/Yehovah in the Hebrew (Genesis 18:22).
3. Why do they claim that Isaiah 53's Suffering Servant is Israel when Isaiah 53:8 says that he was stricken for God's people? Is Israel being stricken for the sake of Israel?
4. Why do they say the prophecies in the Psalms are taken out of context and should be understood in terms of the psalmist's life when, firstly, psalms were known to sometimes be prophetic and, secondly, some of them describe events that never took place in David's life?
