  • Jesus is often described as being a revolutionary within modern church settings, a practice that - inadvertently or otherwise - vilifies the Jewish culture he came from. Was he a radical? Dr. Levine joins Megan to talk about recovering the lives of women in 1st century C.E. Jewish communities, and about her presentation for the upcoming conference, "New Insights in the New Testament".

    The first and basically only person Yeshua straight up (plainly) told he was the Messiah was the Samaritan woman.....then he appeared first to Mary.....after his resurrection. The significance in these two appearances were and are....😅 ...above mosts' comprehension and most over look the importance of the significance of such. Even things being edenic or pre Edenic in restoration ...Eve was not named by Adam but only after the fall. Well what does this say ...in regards to the curse 🤔 ....question? But an answer in closer examination to subjugation and the role reversal of negating the curses through the accursed one ...who was blessed through the curse(s)....

    Out of the 12 to rule with him in the new Kingdom he didn’t include a single woman - see The Bad Jesus the ethics of NT ethics by Hector Avalos for much more

    • @kellydalstok8900
      @kellydalstok8900 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      You mean that the gospel writers didn’t include a single woman. The existence of Jesus and his merry men are by no means certain, but his miracles and him being a perfect person is definitely not true. Check out the claims about the other (earlier) dying-and-rising gods, which are very similar, and also look at the meaning of a Mary Sue in literature, which describes Jesus perfectly (no pun intended).
      You shouldn’t believe everything ancient writers tell you.

    To me, a former Christian, jesus represents a current in first century Jewish culture that is inclusive of women's study of religious texts. It seems near impossible that he was unique, if so the push back against it would have been recorded in at least one gospel yet we never hear of more traditional and patriarchal Jewish leaders criticising him for permitting it.

    Timothy 2:11-12 Let The woman learn in silence with all subjection 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence
    Corinthians 14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law and if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home for it is a shame for women to speak in the church
    Matthew 5:17-18 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

      @@truthgiver8286 I simply think the respondent was reminding us that all these passages are best understood within their original contexts. While Timothy and Corinthians are accepted Christian scripture, the fact remains that they were composed after Jesus' death and don't necessarily reflect his own positions. For that matter, all the Gospels were composed after Jesus' death as well, and are flawed historical sources in retrieving Jesus the man (though unfortunately they're almost all we have to go on for this matter).

      So we have a Jewish Woman talking about first century Evyon movement, which is fine. But what about something more neareastern and more important for the evolution of Judaism.
      Dr Levine within the bible there is a group of text scholars think are the oldest, and within that text there is a source that is likely the oldest known source and its a song for woman about women. But noone seems to want to discuss this song or the neareastern context for which it belongs, nor why there is only one female judge or why the hero of the story is a kenite woman. Tell me why was the song so important that it was preserved as a source for over 400 years?
