“Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus: Theological Objections”

In his second volume on Jewish apologies, Michael Brown answered the theological objections of 28 Jews. Brown summarized the book in the preface: the theological objection detailed in the current volume centers on the difference between traditional Judaism and Messiah Jewish / Christian faith. They will develop around the nature of God (the Trinity, the nature of the God of Jesus, the Holy Spirit), the nature of man, the necessity of salvation, the means of sin and redemption.

The relationship between salvation and the Jews became a clear purpose of John 's theological consideration. "Salvation comes from the Jews" (John 4:22). This word by Jesus was discovered in the opposite context between the Jews and the Samaritan believers and by words of worship into "spirit and truth" this word will be outdated (4:23) . At the end of this episode, the Samaritans acknowledged that Jesus was "the savior of the world" (John 4:42). The title of the Savior was first brought back to Jesus Christ who was resurrected. "There is no other salvation" (4:12) This view is eschatological. "Please save yourself" Peter said "From this depraved generation" (Acts 2:40), and Paul converts to "Resurrection of Jesus to the Gentiles". (Thessalonians 1: 10)

One is the human concept of being saved from sin by believing in Jesus, justification of faith. The Jewish tradition focuses on ritual observation and living according to Jewish law. Paul has created a theological framework to understand the death and resurrection of Jesus that caused a fundamental change in the relationship between man and God. It is not an action but a central element of faith. When Martin Luther's debate began again, "work" refers in part to the purchase of a redemption letter - the forgiveness of a certified sin. Initially, indulgence was obtained through valuable behavior, but as time passed, redemption certificates were obtained through donation to the church, such as fund raising of church buildings. Eventually, the redemption ticket sales declined. Luther's attack on "work" is largely due to his opposition to this corrupt system.
