The Real Yeshua

  Over 35 years ago, Dr. Ike Tennison, Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and I spent a lot of time comparing the Torah in Hebrew, with its Greek translation, the Septuagint. The differences between Hebrew thinking Jews, Greek thinking Christians, and American English language thinkers (Christians and Jews) became apparent very quickly. There are major differences between them. How long did it take to find the first problem? We found it in Genesis 1:1.

  The Torah was the main Source of the wisdom Jesus taught. Jesus provides the most important clue in Matthew 25:34: “ Come, you who are blessed by my Father , inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world .” Who did Elohim bless?

  Jesus taught an “eternal life” message, but no “Messianic Figure” was going to come with warrior angels and destroy the Roman Empire. The people that entered Eternal Life did acts of Tzedaqah – gave food to the hungry, gave drink to the thirsty, gave shelter to the homeless, gave clothes to the naked, visited the sick, and went to those in prison .

  The word TOV is translated “good” and appears 7 times in Genesis (1:1-2:4a).

  Have you ever thought about that question before? I believe there is a very short and simple biblical answer. Genesis 1:28 says: And the Creator blessed the man and woman, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/8896e89209d1/why-does-the-creator-require-hungry-people-to-be-fed

  Instead of using lexicons, dictionaries or concordances to provide meanings of words, which are usually expressed in one word, we create a “bundle of associations” from the underlined factors above. “ List thinking ” requires tracking ideas through multiple sections of the Hebrew Scriptures. This is what the Real Jewish Jesus taught! Have you ever heard of it before? Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/3ce3b05d6e11/jesus-list-thinking-and-the-light-of-life

  The language of Jesus was the Hebrew language in the scroll Ezra carried to Jerusalem in 458 BCE. The scribal schools at the Temple in Jerusalem were around until 70 CE when the Romans destroyed the Temple. And soon after that this form of Hebrew was lost to the followers of Jesus.

  Why is the “ Creator ” in the Declaration of Independence ? We can’t pretend to understand, “ We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .,” until we answer the first question. In the very first sentence of the Declaration , the colonists describe themselves as founding a country that would take its “ separate and equal ” place on the world’s stage.
