When and Why the Post-Jesus Jesus Moment Began to Spread

There are some things that must be understood about the early years of the Jesus Movement.

(1) Jesus lived in Galilee and taught in Samaria and Judea.
(2) His message was directed to Jews, not Gentiles.
(3) He never left those lands to take his message to non-Jews.
(4) He was crucified by the order of the Roman governor by Roman soldiers.
(5) The apostles remained in Jerusalem after the crucifixion.
(6) The apostles led an exclusively Jewish movement.
(7) The apostles never called themselves Christians.
(8) Christianity did not exist during the life of Jesus or immediately following the crucifixion.
(9) Neither Jesus nor the apostles authorized Paul to be an apostle.

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...

The Meanings of Blessed of My Father

  When Jesus said, “Come you blessed of my Father,” he was referring the Creator’s blessing of the humans in Genesis 1. It reveals the Creator’s vision of how humans are to live on earth.

  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.
