We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Romans 11:26-27
What Paul is doing is trying to establish that that the Messiah will somehow take away our sins, the major tenet of Christianity.
A closer look at the actual verse in Isaiah reveals quite a different picture:
“A Redeemer will come to Zion and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, declares the Lord.”
Isaiah 59:20
The Messiah’s role in Judaism has never been understood to take away our sins. We are taught, just the opposite, when we put aside our sins then the Messiah will come! It is significant that many Christian translations of Isaiah have this translated correctly, while Paul in Romans insists on advancing his agenda.
We can have seen ample selections to demonstrate this pattern of distortion associated with the writers of Christian Scriptures. For that reason alone, it is imperative we express to our charges the importance of learning Tanach in its original language and context.
