Michael Karpovetzki Knihy

If you asked me (and Jews always ask) which people groupis the happiest, I would answer by asking, “And what do youthink?” (By the way, Jews always answer a question with aquestion!) Someone might say that Gypsies are the most joyful, as expressed by their wonderful songs and dancing! I would answer, “Perhaps!” Another may argue that Georgian*people arethe happiest. And I would say, “Of course. Everyone knows theGeorgian temperament. It’s like the temperament of manyother Caucasian people.” Or someone might say it’s theRussians when they drink, or the Ukrainians, when they eat apiece of lard with onions and black bread. And I could hardlydisagree with this. But I think that the Jews are the happiest, perhaps becauseof the many troubles in their history and in their attempt tohide their deep sorrow behind a mask of joy. Perhaps theyhave really learned to have joy while walking through the darkest of valleys. Everyone can answer for himself. As for me, I have joy because I, too, am also a Jew, and because I know that the hearts of many of our people (as well asof many others, no matter what nation, culture or cuisine) arefull of HOPE. And this HOPE is YESHUA.

Shalom, Dear Reader! This book is the fruit of the combined efforts of MikhaelKarpovetsky, who is in the ministry of evangelism in Israel, andDmitry Shliapin, Master of Theology, who serves in church inKrasnoyarsk, Russia. The purpose of this book is to shed light on the fact thatJesus is not only a historical character or the son of a carpenterfrom Nazareth; not only a prophet or Messiah, but is also theSon of God — God Jehovah, Who came from Heaven! This topicis a very complicated and touchy subject. It looks a little controversial for simple human perception, and as a result of it wehave many different teachings which pervert the truth. In suchdifficult situations, one resorts to logic for help as if it (with itsmathematical preciseness) is capable of putting everything inits rightful place. However, even logic in and of itself can bewrong, or at least, limited. It is not always perfect. In contrastto subjective logic, which is based on sensory perception anddistorts reality, objective logic is based on facts taken by faith. In this book we proceed from the statement made (as it is believed) by Galileo: Holy Scripture could never lie or err… its decrees are ofabsolute and inviolable truth. The Word of God is our authority, which reveals the truth tous. Without this truth, the spirit life cannot begin in any of us. For this reason, in the first part of the book, we will start ourreasoning with a close look at some testimonies about the nature of the Scriptures itself. In the second part, we will paycloser attention to the meaning of God’s Name. Actually, ourresearch is dedicated to that particular subject. In the thirdpart, the conclusion, we will define some difficulties in understanding the doctrine of the Trinity and its practical necessity, and will make some general conclusions.

•To stir a desire and passion in thehearts of believers to preach the gospel. •To equip believers with the practicalskills necessary to fulfill the great commission. Once Charles Spurgeon asked his coachman the following two questions: 1. Where will you be when you die? 2. What gives you the right to claim thatyou will be in heaven? These two questions help an unbelieverstart thinking about death and what is goingto happen after death. They also help us understand what prevents an unbeliever fromconfessing his sinfulness and turning to God.

The purpose of this book is to show that Judaism and Christianity are not two separate, conflicting religions, as they are often presented to us, but one united faith, rooted in the Torah, the Prophets and the Scriptures. If those in Judaism would accept the Messiah (Christ), and Christianity would come back to its Jewish roots (the teachings of the apostles), then we could consider them as equal.
