Reddit reviews The Crucified Rabbi: Judaism and the Origins of Catholic Christianity (The Origins of Catholicism Book 1)

Told you already, Hosea 6:2 and Job 2:1

​

As for his name:

Ex 15:2 - His is Yeshua or (“the Lord saves”) - Acts 7:55-56

What name do you say should the Messiah have if it's not Jesus? How do you know how He is to be called?

​

Suffering and resurrection:

Ps 22:14-15 - Suffered agony in death - Mk 15:34-37

Ps 22:22 - His Resurrection declared - Jn 20:17

Ps 30:3 - His resurrection predicted - Acts 2:32

​

There's 300+ prophecies fulfilled, really, read this book if you're looking for more on this, that is if you're truly looking for truth humbly and not just spoiling for a fight.

Well sit it out. Don't get over-emotional about what happens in the Church. People are people, and unfortunately the Church is in a sucky phase. And the Pope may be a crappy person, too. We'll see.

​

To counter our Dutch Reformed friend above... here are some books from ex-Reformed folks. They all became Catholic - one is a website:

The Salvation Controversy - A tutorial through TULIP (5 points of Calvinism from an ex-Calvinist, turned Catholic)

The Mystery of Predestination According to Scripture, the Church and Aquinas -

Rome Sweet Home - From a Reformed professor at Westminster, turned Catholic -

http://www.calledtocommunion.com/ - - all Reformed guys who became Catholic

If I was religious, I would be Catholic.

David's references take you through everything you basically read and rejected before - just more sophisticated Sola Scriptura. "It's not 'me' saying it - it's Calvin and me saying it! Every church father before Calvin knows better than me insofar as they agree with Calvin. "

For David: in all of their own words. This book is nothing but quotes - starting literally from those ordained by the apostles themselves: https://www.amazon.com/Teachings-Church-Fathers-John-Willis/dp/0898708931

I hope you stay honest with your pursuit of truth. You can eliminate all presuppositions and trust your mind.
