Jesus Never Went to Church

Jesus never went to church. He did not found the First Christian Church of Jerusalem. The place you would find Jesus on the Sabbath was a synagogue. What happens during a synagogue service? I have met a lot of people that assume that a synagogue service must be about the same a church service when they read the above verse. So, they picture Jesus at a church service and move on with their reading. But the synagogue is not like the church.

In Luke 4  we find a record of one of his regular visits to a synagogue. By knowing what takes place at every synagogue service the words recorded in Luke take on new meanings. Did he change the words of Isaiah or was his copy different than the Isaiah in your Bible? Find out why the people from his hometown called him the "son of Joseph" and why they wanted to stone him.

A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

Deuteronomy and the Creation of Messianic Realities

  Moses led the tribes of Israel to the place they stopped and could see the Promised Land. As they stood there, a cloud moved above the door of the Tabernacle.
