This is what Jesus taught on how to love God.


A lawyer asked Jesus “which is the great commandment of the law?” The answer Jesus gave the lawyer is found in Deuteronomy 6:5, but with one little change. Many Christians have never heard Jesus’s answer. Continue reading at -

This is what Jesus taught on how to love God.

This is one of the most important teachings of Yeshua, the Jewish Jesus.

A lawyer decided to test by asking,
“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Torah?”

Jesus said to the lawyer,
“‘You shall love Yahweh your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like it:
‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

On these two commandments hang all of the Torah and the Prophets.”
(Matthew 22:35-40)

Why did a lawyer ask Jesus a question about the law?

In English translations you usually find something like this – A lawyer asked Jesus which is the great commandment of the law. . . On these two commandments hang all of the law and the prophets. The words “the law and the prophets” make it clear that what Jesus actually said was “The Torah and the Prophets.”  Continue reading at -

Why did they lay their coats at Saul's feet?

The witnesses, laying their coats at the feet of Saul, were the men that would cast the first stones at Stephen in Acts 7. Why did they all lay their coats at Saul’s feet? The Talmud contains a very interesting account of the act of stoning that may provide the answer. “When the trial was over, they take him [the condemned person] out to be stoned. The place of stoning was at a distance from the court, as it is said, ‘Take out the one who has cursed.’ [i] A man stands at the entrance of the court; in his hand is a signaling flag [Hebrew   sudarin = sudar , ‘scarf, sweater’]. 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...

Are Saul and Paul the Same Person?

There has always been some confusion over whether Saul and Paul is the same person. The confusion begins in the Book of Acts. ● “Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul . . . he brought him to Antioch . . . for a whole year they taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called ‘ Christians ’ in Antioch .” ( Acts 11:25-26 ) ● “ Then Agrippa said to Paul , `You almost persuade me to become a Christian .’” ( Acts 26:28) ● “ Then Saul , who also  is called   Paul . . . ” ( Acts 13:9a ) Based on the three verses above, we would assume they are references to the same person – but is he the Paul we read about in the Epistles? The name “ Saul ” doesn’t appear in the Epistles. In order to answer that question we must examine the stories of the “ conversion experiences ” of Saul in Acts and Paul in Galatians . Pay close attention to the time periods and places mentioned in both accounts. Saul’s experience is found in Acts 9 and...

Light: The Creator’s Gift to the Entire Creation!

  Traditionally, this is called the “creation of light,” but in verses that follow, the Creator will speak again, but nothing will be created. Therefore, we shifted our focus to the Hebrew word translated “light.” The Hebrew word has two additional meanings, other than “light.” Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/6b8feacc4ba8/light-the-creators-gift-to-the-entire-creation
