Foundations with Mandy and Robbo

On Foundations at the moment, we’re in a series focused on the Messiah. In our last program, we started looking at the fact that there are many belief systems who believe in a messiah, but we’re going to continue looking at the Biblical claims about the Messiah and the evidence for Him.

For those who try to discredit the Bible, often they’ll use the criticism that a deity having a son didn’t originate with the Bible, but is fact a pagan mythical belief that the Bible copied. That’s an issue we’re going to tackle today on Foundations. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org...

Bible prophecy can be very confusing because there’s so much symbolism and the terminology can get quite distracting as well.

Building fences to most people, in a metaphorical sense, usually indicates fixing a repaired relationship, to patch things up. In Judaism however, building fences is a completely different thing, and that’s what we’ll be talking about today on Foundations.

The Jewish people are God’s chosen people. The Bible says this clearly. But why did God decide to choose that particular group of people? Why didn’t He choose another ethnic people?

Does God pray? If so, who does He pray to since He’s God and already knows all things? We’re continuing our conversation on the topic of Tefilah ? the Hebrew word for prayer on Foundations.

To some people prayer is easy and comes naturally, for others, it’s a real struggle. To the Jewish mind, Tefilah - prayer - is a much deeper more intimate interaction with God. There’s also the belief that God Himself prays. That’s the concept we’ll be looking at on Foundations.
