The Real Yeshua

The beginning of John’s Jesus is very different from those of Mark, Luke and Matthew. John’s Jesus is not introduced as a man from Galilee or the son of Mary and the Holy Spirit. One word describes John’s Jesus: For those who know how to use the BHC Greek-English Transliterator , take a moment to transliterate this word ( if you haven’t downloaded your FREE BHC Transliterator click here to get it and learn how to transliterate Greek words ).

SOURCE Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest, Peace on earth and good will toward men. The message of the angels to the shepherds in Luke’s account is one of the most powerful messages in the New Testament. It has been memorized by children for centuries and touched the hearts of millions who long for – “peace on earth and good will toward men.”  It is a message that hearts understand, regardless of the doctrines lodged in the minds. In the context of the Gospel of Luke, the message of the angels announced the birth of Jesus. Before the multitude of angels appeared, a lone angel delivered this message to a group of shepherds that were spending the night in the field with their flock: “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Anointed One of the L...

This is third Gospel account of the beginnings of Jesus. We are examining them in chronological order – Mark , Luke , Matthew and John. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. Solomon begot Rehoboam . . . And Jacob begot Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called the Anointed One. (1:6-7) If you read Luke’s account, I bet you immediately saw a major difference in Matthew’s genealogy. In Luke, Joseph was from the line of Nathan, but in Matthew he is from Solomon’s line . Matthew’s Joseph is a party to David’s covenant, which descendants of Nathan were not. Read complete blog at --  http://fromonejesus.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-different-beginnings-of-jesus-in_22.html

In the sixth month God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth of Galilee to Mary an unmarried young woman engaged to Joseph, of the house of David. (1:26-27) Luke begins by letting readers know that this event took place “ in the sixth month ,” which is the month of Elul ( August/September ) on the Jewish calendar. If this is correct, then Jesus could not have been born in December, as Christians have been taught for the past 1,700 years. This may be a factor in why some translators inserted something in their translation that is not found in the ancient Greek manuscripts.  Read the rest of the study at --  http://fromonejesus.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-different-beginnings-of-jesus-in_20.html

The modern New Testament canon contains four Gospels. When they are placed in chronological order (the order in which they were written) they are: Mark, Luke, Matthew & John. They were written as separate scrolls and circulated that way at first. Each Gospel was “the” Gospel of different congregations in the early years of Christianity. Then copies were made and shared by communities until the first New Testament canons appeared. There are many other gospels in existence, but only the four above ultimately were chosen by Athanasius to be in the New Testament he created in the 4th century.  This is the Christmas season and the “Christmas story” is told often, but the story we hear and see in school plays and church services is not found in that form in any of the Gospels. It was created by taking stories from multiple Gospels and putting them all together. But that destroys the ancient accounts of Jesus’s beginnings that were known in the different early congregations. This is...

It is a Hebrew word that was transliterated into Greek and is often transliterated into English – AMEN ( click here to see example ) . In this blog we are going to focus on the word “AMEN” in the Greek text of the New Testament: Before we turn to the Greek text, we need to discuss chapter and verse markers in the Bible. They are not found in the ancient Greek manuscripts. Classically, scrolls of the books of the bible have always been divided by blank spaces at the end ( petuhoth ) or middle ( setumoth ) of the lin...

When we look back down the timeline of Christianity to the period in which Jesus lived, an inch on the timeline can cover centuries.  The importance of many of the events that took place during that inch are unknown today, along with the people that lived in that inch. This is a reality that every genealogist comes to understand very quickly. We also learn another very important truth – every one of the people in my line of ancestors had to live for me to exist . It took them all to create my DNA. But, there is more to each of us than a collection of genes that made their way across time to become our part of our DNA – our beliefs were also making their way across time to become part of our Belief Systems.   Genes and beliefs both affect how we understand, view and understand our world and the things that happen in it. Until we learn about the journeys of our genes and beliefs, we live our lives completely unaware of their origins and roles. Read the complete blog at -- ...

The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, if you are  a generous person that gives to the poor your whole body will be full of light . But if you are a stingy or greedy person who gives his poor needy brother nothing , your whole body shall be full of darkness . If therefore the light that is in you is darkness , how great is that darkness ! (Matthew 6:22-23) My two previous blogs have unlocked the meanings of the two idioms Yeshua used in the verses above: (1) good eye – a generous person that gives to the poor (2) evil eye – a stingy or greedy person who gives his needy brother nothing Now let’s turn our attention to the words light and darkness . In the Jewish culture light and life are often used synonymously. This relationship can be found in numerous examples, like the one below. "Better to extinguish the light on Sabbath than to extinguish life , which is God's light " (Shab. 30b). [i] The parallels are clear: (1) light = li...
