Key Insights for Understanding the Teachings of the Jewish Jesus

 


The Jewish Jesus, aka Yeshua and the Jesus of history, is the person that led the movement we read about in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke). There are many other “belief models of Jesus Christ” that were created after the crucifixion of the Jewish Jesus.

 

It is important to understand that the Jewish Jesus was an expert teacher and interpreter of the Jewish Scriptures, especially Isaiah’s words. His calling, movement, and core teachings are based on his interpretations of sections of Isaiah. Below are the core teachings of the Jewish Jesus. You will see these points repeated throughout his teachings, including those on salvation.

 

● Guard Justice and Rescue the Community.

 

● Take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness.

 

● Extend your breath to the hungry and satisfy the afflicted lives.

 

● Share your bread with the hungry, bring the poor who are cast out to your house; cover the naked when you see them, and do not hide yourself from your own flesh.

 

● Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your restoration shall spring forth speedily, your acts of rescue shall go before you, and the glory of Yahweh shall gather you.

 

● Then Yahweh will answer when you call, your light shall dawn in the darkness, and your darkness shall be like the noonday.

 

The Jewish Jesus Movement was a group of people actively involved in guarding justice and rescuing the community. They were guided by the most ancient standard in the biblical text – the Creator’s TOV Standard.

 

Protecting and preserving lives, making lives more functional,

increasing the quality of life, and being

the Creator’s co-shepherds over all lives.

 

Jesus taught no requirements about believing in or believing anything about him. Those came from church leaders that would be born many centuries later. The next series of email will highlight how the points above are used in his teachings.

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
