45 - The Rabbis and the Memra

Have you ever tried to share the gospel with a Jewish friend and found that they have trouble understanding the Godhead and believe that there is only one divine Person? Listen to this message to learn about a time during the period between the end of the Old Testament and the coming of Christ when Jewish rabbis wrote a number of Targums, or commentaries, about the word Memra throughout the Old Testament and showed that it referred to two distinct divine Persons. Hear how rabbis later reversed these teachings after the Apostle John used the Greek word LOGOS to refer to Jesus.
