One New Man
The One New Man podcast is a wide-ranging conversation about Israel, the Jewish people, the Church, and our cultural moment concerning these topics. It is an ongoing conversation between a Messianic Jew, John Myers and a Gentile Christian, Christopher Kuehl. John is the founder of The Israel Story, and an early planter of a Messianic synagogue in Jerusalem, Israel. Chris is the founder of Present Witness. Together, they form the One New Man. You can expect conversations around Christian Zionism, biblical covenants, replacement theology, dispensationalism, covenant theology, church history, difficult verses related to these issues, election, salvation, the Israel / Palestinian conflict, and many other issues. We will also be interacting with arguments and positions all the way back from the church fathers to more modern thinkers like NT Wright and Karl Barth.

The 5 MAJOR Reasons Christianity Split From Judaism [PART 2]
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
John and Chris dive into the second chapter of Chris' upcoming book, "Is God A Zionist?", unpacking the split between the Jews and the Church in the 1st century...this time from the Christian perspective (check out the previous episode on the Jewish response)
There are 5 major events that really solidified the "divorce" between Jews and Gentiles, and eventually the Church itself, and we spend a lot of time going through those events.
And guys, the reason for this is simple:
If Christians are not adequately catechized and shown how we ended up where we are today, specifically regarding the Jewish people, history says we'll become anti-semitic.
You can even see it happening today.
And as John says in this episode, hatred of the Jewish people is ultimately hatred of God.
Join us to truly understand the story of Israel and the Church, and answer the question...Is God A Zionist?
