I love Amy-Jill Levine. Such wisdom and knowledge...she serves as a bridge of understanding and reconciliation between Jews and Christians
I love it when intelligent jewish people deal with Jesus and his mission (and other figures of the NT) in a constructive and positive way without necessarily converting to christianity and staying jewish.
Jews and christians are different branches of the same tree on its way to heaven.
Utter Nonsense
Religious sibling rivalry clarified, to some extent. An informed non-Christian gives a unique, witty, warmly humorous perspective. An important consideration is the young adults who are referred to by elder clergy folks as "NONES."
A Parable. There was a man claiming to have come down from heaven, astonishing all who heard him, FOR HE SPOKE LIKE NOBODY ELSE. Even so, those who believed him were few. Just before he returned, he said sadly, "Had I spoken to them as a human speaks, those who rejected me, would bear no blame. But as it is, I spoke neither like a human nor even like an angel."
Just shared this to my group would love to connect just subscribed:)
I love this
@min. 24:28, Matthew 25:31-46
Matthew 6:20-21. (20. But lay up for
yourselves treasures in Heaven ...21.
For where your treasure is, there will
your heart be also. God bless you!!!
@Sharp!!!
"God is a verb." That sound you just heard was the "Christian" fundamentalists' heads exploding.
I think she presents Jesus more as a social justice warrior than the Messiah
In the original unaltered Hebrew Torah, that rarely mentioned figure is exactly as you describe - the term simply means "anointed.". The early church purposefully misappropriated certain prophetic Hebrew verses to fashion this figure into a god-man in order unite and spread their empire with threats of hell. Every single prophecy Christianity trots out as proof of their god/man messiah is deliberately altered to fit their Christology. AJ Levine is absolutely correct that Jesus (Yeshu) is a deeply Misunderstood Jew.
@@Sparkrootwild2023 well so we don't have to argue, one day me and you will find out, is just that simple..
It’s all in plain view. No need to wait.
He was and is Christ the Lord. and His kingdom is not of this world. Those that believed in His Fathers words went to Him for life. Even to this day and up until the last day. Jesus who taught His Fathers message was before Abraham was born. They called Him Christ and the Son of God. Worshiped in that manner.
The signs told them that God was with Him.
3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.”
The most important message Jesus Gave was to come to Him FOR LIFE.
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
Randy W. Yes! Beautifully stated...praise the Lord Jesus Christ for giving us the gift of eternal life.
Are we all this?" The one the Father set apart as His very Own AND sent into the world" The living bread that came down from heaven.Whoever eats this bread will live forever.
And in regard to the resurrection -not without Jesus
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die;
For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.
So side stepping theses truths in your statements isn't honest.
Jesus was before Abraham was born -that's the real Jesus.
Jesus baptizes with the Holy Spirit -The kingdom of God is within. No one enters the kingdom of God apart from Him. I guess that does make Him the gate.
I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.
Not everyone who calls Him Lord, Lord will enter only those who do the will of the Father in heaven.
But what hope about those who don't call him Lord.....
We are not free to sin:You know the commandments: 'You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'"
Anyone who sins is a slave to sin unless the Son sets them free
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you." And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ."
She likes Jesus's message and studies Him yet she refuses to believe and go to Him for life. She's Relying on works to justify herself before God when Her time comes.
Jesus explained to Nicodemus
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
Acts 2 was the Spirit being poured out on Jews from all over the world. They needed that baptism. They were baptized into Jesus's name. Did they receive that baptism by works or the law? No it was by faith in Jesus.
Jesus's command is to love one another.
PARA ENTENDER, CONOCER Y HABLAR DE JESÚS HAY QUE NACER DE NUEVO, DE OTRA MANERA NO HAY REVELACION DE LA VERDAD, TE QUEDARIAS EN BLANCO COMO NICODEMO.
DIOS LES BENDIGA.
Faith without love is nothing. Works without Love is nothing. However Jesus is how God chose to forgive sin. As He proclaimed. The blood of a new covenant.
Those that come to Him and those that believe in Him though they were to die yet shall they live. God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. So what team is she on as she denies both in her faith choice? She is not of the faith. Jesus will tell her, "I don't know you" as for judgment that is in Jesus's hands. What I do know is that those who listen and learn from the Father go to the Son and Jesus will raise them up on the last day. She proclaims delight in the message in part but denies the claims about the messenger. It is the Father who she claims as her God who glorifies Jesus. She is not hearing the Fathers message because of unbelief or maybe she finds more self worth in calling herself a Jew?
I think Jesus was quite clear. And she should understand what Jesus means. Going to Him and believing in Him.
Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
Randy W. Thank You! ...for your stand on 'The Faith' that sets one free from the chains of sin and delusion in this world. I do not understand how Christians can flock to someone who does not have 'Christ' as their Lord and Savior. If the answer is 'because she gives us the understanding of 1st century Jews' in context to what Christ taught?... well there are more than enough Christian theologians who understand such sayings of the Lord as in Matt 6:22-23. It is not difficult in this day and age to discover the Jewish roots of Our Lord and 1st century Judea. Regardless, we who have Christ also have the Holy Spirit, whom as Our Lord stated in John 14, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you".
I read nothing in the New Testament about listening to 'unbelievers'. God bless you!
