- Sam and Dr. Tom react to one of @TheChosenSeries most talked about scenes… “I am the Law of Moses.” They bring first-century and Jewish context to why Jesus could have said something like that and what it means.

Thank you Doctor Tom ! 😊🛐🙌🏾🕎✝️
Looking forward to your reactions on the whole episode! Love watching the look on Lazarus sisters face like she realizes Jesus is the Messiah. She looks like shes going to burst!
Thank you Dr. Tom and Sam for your videos. May the Lord bless you abundantly!
I wonder if God will have mercy on them because it had to fulfill the prophecy
I'm only an hour from your House of Worship. I'm going come one day and praise Him with you
Jonathan Roumie plays that scene so well. His facial expressions and tone convey such a sense of pain that His own people refuse to understand their need for salvation. When I read Scripture I often get a sense of sorrow that the Chosen People didn't get it.
That's what I thought! I can imagine how sorrowful Jesus was that His people, his town, didn't accept Him and wouldn't be saved. At least His brothers believed after the resurrection. Well, James and Jude for sure. I don't know enough about Simon, and Joseph but truly hope they did.
Don't worry, God isn't done With them. They will be saved.
@@braedynhoward3644 I know many are now being saved, but still tragic that so many didn't believe when He was with them on earth.
It is no different, brothers than when Yeshua told the Pharisees, "Before Abraham was, I AM." HalleluYah!
You are absolutely right! Not sure these people have a understanding of scriptures. I referenced John 8 and they can't respond because it doesn't mean anything to them. Colossians 2:9 all the fullness of God dwelled in the body of Jesus Christ. Not part, all. If all the fullness of God dwelled in Jesus then there was no God anywhere else, period.
In John 8:58, Jesus did not say he was God. In Exodus 3:14, the LXX uses ho on ("The Being, The One Who Is"). In John 8:58, the text uses ego eimi ("I am").
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
Jesus was saying he was born before Abraham, that's it. Another words, greater than Abraham. If he was quoting God here, the text would have read "ho on." The context backs this up!
53 “Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;
@God is faithful and a Father, 29 Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord;
Mark 12:29
1+1+1=3
@God is faithful and a Father,According to the Hebrew scriptures, Jesus worship is idolatry.
15And you shall watch yourselves very well, for you did not see any image on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb from the midst of the fire.16Lest you become corrupt and make for yourselves a graven image, the representation of any form, the likeness of male or female,
Deuteronomy 4:15-16
@Waitstill
You still fail to have thine eyes washed with the pure milk of the gospel.
For those in the Washington DC area, you can walk into a recreated synagogue based on the Nazareth synagogue on the 3rd floor of the Museum of the Bible.
Thanks for the tip. I live nearby in Northern Virginia and keep meaning to visit. An elder in my church is a docent there. Now I have even more reason to go!
My favourite part of this episode is when they are at the cliff's edge and he turns around, begins walking through the crowd and basically says Not Today boys.
I don’t know what I look forward to more. The episodes themselves or your guys reactions. Keep up the good work fellas.
I’ve grown to really enjoy your content!
Like wise, they are helping me to understand the Bible, the Jewish interpretation of Christ, as they see him....thank you!
I second this motion!! 😅😅👌🏻👌🏻
If you want to learn who Jesus was, ask a Rabbi. If you want to be like Jesus, consider converting to Judaism.
@@waitstill7091 no, I don't have to convert to Judaism, because the got it wrong also.
@@ingridprofitt6078 Jesus said to follow all the Jewish teachings.
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, 2 saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;3 therefore ALL THAT THEY TELL YOU, DO AND OBSERVE, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.
Matthew 23:1-3
jonathan roumie is such a great actor to play jesus
The chosen is, hands down the BEST series I have ever seen and I've seen them all. Both movies and series and this one takes the cake!!!! I honestly can not stand most religious shows because they're always so poorly done being overly serious or dramatic and the language is like listening to Shakespeare 😝. So this series being done closer to our own understanding, making Christ more relatable has been a joy to watch. Dallas is a genius and yes there will be things done that someone might not agree with based on our religion but the whole point remains just bringing Christ back into our lives. It wouldn't matter what Dallas did, there will always be someone out there pointing out what's wrong... there's absolutely no escaping that. I personally believe this is his calling🙏😇
Truly look forward to the grafted reaction to the Chosen episodes! 100% agree that He is asserting His authority and fulfillment of the Law! Look forward to watching the full reaction! I’ve learned so much from you guys, thank you for all you do! 🫶🏻
not fulfill as in do away with, but do as the law expects. and then he says in john 15:10 that we should do the same. and when they asked him what they must do to be saved in matthew 19:17, he said, keep the commandments of YAHUAH.
Yes in the sense that he fulfilled the law of Moses, and brought us the everlasting from the sermon on the mount
Jesus the Christ, i.e., Jehovah, gave the Law of Moses. He was the Law of Moses.
Ex. 6:1 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea it." John 1:1-5
The word WAS GOD
I love that part when Yeshua says," I am the law of Moses!" Drop the mic, and walk out the room! Whohoo!
Amen! He is EVERYTHING!
TOTALLY 🙌🏽🙌🏽 hands downnnn
The best episode till now from the chosen.
Absolutely love your Chosen reaction videos❤❤❤
Blessings from Iceland 🇮🇸
If we hold the following to be true:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea it." John 1:1-5
Then, yes. Jesus is the law of Moses.
YES!
Yes! 100% agree, Yeshua is the Word of Yah, Torah is the Word of Yah. Yeshua is the Living Torah, Word that became flesh.
The Law of Moses is a contract, a covenant, an agreement.
Yes...
Jesus is God.
Jesus is The Word.
Jesus is the Great I AM!
Jesus is the Creator.
Jesus is not a contract.
Jesus came to fulfill the old contract. At the same time Jesus was establishing the new contract, the new covenant, the new agreement that would be fully enforced upon His death on the cross.
The new covenant has better promises.
Jesus would never say he is a contract. On earth as it is in heaven. Contracts can change. And God made a new contract with us. A new will and testament.
The Law of Christ.
Hopefully, no one will be influenced by The Chosen to place themselves under the old law of Moses, not to go back under the curse. For these will be dead works and Christ will be none effect.
@@davidbartscher7538 The law of Moses and the law of Christ, law of God are the same . First on tables of stone, Second on tables our hearts. Not to follow the law of God brings the curse. Dead works is doing something good, but not observing the law of God. Law is a bad translation. In Hebrew it is teaching/ instructions . Moses brought Jesus down the MT . The tables bear the word of God. Interesting enough.... the Hebrew word for STONE is eb'en , which a compound word first part is Ab meaning father. The second part ben meaning son. So the stone . Figuratively that could mean they abide together.
@@raditian2 The Law of Moses and the Law of Christ are similar but different. The Law of Christ carried over the laws of morality, but did away with much of the 613 laws. Keeping the Sabbath is not even required. But keeping the Lord's Day is.
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. However, His contracts can and do change. The New Contract (or New Testament or New Covenant) is established upon better promises.
Hebrews 8:6 (KJV)
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he (Jesus) is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
Romans 10:4 (KJV)
For Christ is the end of the (Mosaic) law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
We should desire a relationship with Jesus because we need His righteousness in order to see the Kingdom of God. If we fall back under the Law of Moses, we are trying to do it in our own righteousness and we will not see the kingdom of God.
The ad for One For Israel is beautiful. Don't think I've ever said that about an ad. I'm thrilled that more Jewish people are turning to Christ!
Can't wait for the full reaction of the episode. I learn so much from you! Thank you!
I've been anticipating your reaction to episode 3! Can't wait! Great job guys.
totally agree!
So proud of Gys de Villiers who plays Rabbi Benjamin. Hugs from South Africa!
I thought he sounded South African!! 🥰🥰🥰
I felt like Nicodemus said it best when he was admonishing shmuel. Can't we follow in the old ways the way Jeremiah taught us and still expect the amazing and the miraculous from Adonai? Can we not have both? And I feel that there's a cautionary tale there. It wasn't just the Pharisees of old that had this problem. I believe Christians today have God kind of figured out. They know how he works they hold to the traditions of the word of God which all true believers would say absolutely we hold to the way. But can we not still expect the miraculous and the surprising from Adonai? I have heard prominent pastors rebuke and reject the work of the chosen as being almost heretical and they're handling of scripture. And all I can hear is shmuel's voice. GenZ and the millennials are getting the teachings of Christ in a way they never would sitting in the seats of these prominent pastors who teach first by verse from the word of God. I am 64. I'm all about the expositional teaching of the word of God. I grew up as a Christian doing precept upon precept. Doing verse by verse studies of the word of God. Memorizing scripture venerating the word of God. I did not grow up revering only visual stimuli. But I am aware of the fact that God is doing a new work on behalf of these young people that may only have one more chance.
i liked how he walked through the crowd, like they "thought" they were going to do this but God had different plans. And then afterward, you see him look up and he has a smirk on his face. i don't know if Jesus would've actually done that, but its like he looks up toward the Father and says in his mind, "they really don't have a clue"
This is solid stuff and you both are made for this!
As always I thoroughly enjoy your reaction videos. I have also had concerns and I appreciate the information you provide from the knowledge you have from a messianic perspective. Thank you!
I got absolute chills while watching this part because there is something special about hearing the words spoken. I'm love seeing your reaction to the episodes and can't wait for the full episode reaction. Love you guys!
What part? Most of it wasn't scripture.
Iam the law of MOSES goosebumps
I look forward to your videos knowing I will learn so much. Thank you for doing this it is an additional blessing with The Chosen. I have learned more from you and The Chosen than any church I have attended in over 40 years.
TOTALLY agree! Amen!
You provide a very valuable service (as well as a few other YouTubists!) in tying together the OT and the NT in context of culture and theology of first century Israel. Wonderful job tying these concepts together and by the grace of God, I hope many others will take the imitative to dig deeper than the two dimensional account of the Gospels. I think Dallas is bringing the Gospel into the third dimension in the Spirit, much necessary in this age. Thank you!
Yalls content is amazing, I’ve learned so much from y’all’s video’s it’s not even funny, thank you so much God bless you all❤️
I always look forward to your reaction videos ❤
I honestly have been waiting for these every single episode.
Aloha from Hawaii 🌺🤗🌹🕊️🔥 Love you guys and truly appreciate your sharing from scripture.
Solid content boys. Really enjoyed that take
From Papua New Guinea i watch your reaction videos alot. Thanks for the simple yet profoundness to both your input.
Yes HE IS….
“I AM”
i just found your channel i am a huge fan of the chosen tonight is episode 4 and im over joyed to see it ,thank you for your wisdom in showing us the jewish ways
Always love watching your post episode show and getting your views on the show! John 8:58, “Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”💕
I really enjoy your insights. Just brilliant
Happy New Year’s to grafted, I must say thank you for all the knowledge and information that I have attain from your program and I pray that God will continue to bless you, so happy New Year again
I love how to clarify that by "law", Yeshua was referring to Torah and that Torah is instruction. Such a big thing to bring up for the goyim (gentile) viewers here who don't have a Jewish background. This scene is just so fantastic and I love it so much!
Reading the Gospels you never really think of what it might have looked like. I've noticed allot of the parables are told in a more historic type of way, then he said this, the they said that, type or thing. But the emotions Jesus must have felt and expressed, must have had written over His face, not much in there. For some reason when I first read this passage in the Bible on Jesus being rejected in His own hometown, I never really thought about Him being hurt or in pain speaking/ even 'pleading' to an extent (with all the dignity and authority of God obviously), to His relatives, friends, neighbors, teachers whom He loves so much. People He at that point didn't just know because He was God, but also people He lived most of His human life with, grew up with, and for them to reject Him. I just never thought about what that might have looked like for Him. The Chosen is really helping me to fully experience the Bible by 'seeing' it.
Now obviously the Chosen adds allot of drama and theatrical things to the content of the Bible, and allot of Christians criticize the show for this, BUT it helps me to understand it better. It helped me to become a believer and it's helping me navigate my faith and understanding of the Bible. And when I spent time in Bible study/reading, sometimes comparing the moment to the Chosen, then a reaction by Grafted or other theologian as well as academic commentary and notes helps me to formulate my own understanding. It goes without saying that ALL CREDIT goes to the Holy Spirit! And for me, He works for me through the Chosen as well.
Loved the explanation on the law of Moses. 😊
That was really amazing.... Your comments about Elijah and the healing of the leper etc
Dallas did a pretty good job of explaining it, but I feel your extrapolation brought even more clarity and richness to that statement, "I AM the law of Moses." Thank you so much! May God bless your ministry!! 👑👑👑
The word became flesh yes He is the law of Moses. So powerful
Yes, this truth is so simple that I am surprised why so many believers are up in arms about it being spoken as if it weren't true at all. I was afire when I saw it in previews and excited to hear it put so plainly.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea it." John 1:1-5
Before The Chosen there were 7 "I Am" statements in the scriptures, now there are 8.
Makes me want to cry! I know so many non-believers who do not recognise they need the year of the Lord's favour. Please Lord, help them see!
Jesus is the Word. John 1:1
Waiting for full reaction☺️ why take so long✌️😅
I wondered if this was akin to John 1 or John said in the beginning was the word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The idea that the Torah and the logos being similar in concept. The speech of God that brought about life and set out the parameters of his will as in the ten commandments.
@7.02 If you want to see the look on the face of Caiaphas in a later season just look at the Rabhi his expression says it all. One of the best things thatJesus did , was he knew what to say to people at any given time , HE knew peoples hearts ,a very SCARY thing. it makes you NAKED ,no where to hide.
Thank you for your explanation to what Jesus meant,
Yes. He wrote it. He is the fulfillment of it.
This phrase stuck me at first then I accepted it. The law of Moses was all about hundreds of laws. But Jesus taught they are all summed up in this - love God and your neighbor. God is Love. Jesus is the expression of that Love. All spiritual laws are summed up in Love. Accept the Love of Christ in going to the cross in our place. He did it for us because of His Love for us. Love Him for that. Love others. There is simplicity in Christ. There is great complexity in all those laws of Moses.
Yes, Yeshua (Jesus) showed His love for us by going to the cross. Something none of us deserves, and it is the greatest Love. In order to understand what Yeshua is referring to when He speaks of Love, we first need to look at what the scriptures define Love as. Man’s definition of Love is not the same as God’s definition of Love.
When Yeshua says Love God and Love your neighbor (Matthew 22:36-40), He is summarizing the Ten Commandments. The first four are about loving God. The remaining six are about loving your neighbor.
In John 13:34-35 Yeshua says “I give you a new commandment, that you LOVE ONE ANOTHER. Just as I have loved you, so also you must love one another. By this all will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, if you have love for one another.”
This new commandment is in addition to the other commandments given to Moses and only applies to believers loving (and being respectful of) other believers.
1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God-that we keep His commandments. And His commandments ARE NOT BURDENSOME” and in John 14:15 when Yeshua said “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments”.
The reason we think His commandments are burdensome is because we have been told it’s impossible to keep all of them. Scripture tells us we do not have to keep all of the commandments. That is because some are for men, some for women, some are for the Levites, etc. When it comes to scripture, there are very few we have to keep. One very important one is to keep the Sabbath Holy as it is the fourth Commandment.
We think His commandments are burdensome because in addition to the scriptural commandments, we are taught that we also are to keep the rabbinical (manmade) commandments, and those are extremely burdensome!
Loved everything in the episode, I don’t mind the commentary in this video either. However since the title of this TH-cam video asks a question and the most unclear thing in the video is this answer about the law of Moses. then I have to ask a question aswell and perhaps share what I find in scripture. First if the episode ever made a doctrinal mistake would they be willing to reshoot or fix the issue ? Also my take on scripture and revelation is that Christ is NOT the law of Moses. Christ is the fulfillment of the law of Moses but not the law itself. The law was written by the hand of God not spoken. However the spoken living word is obviously messiah. In the new covenant of the born again believer we are called to follow him . We are not called to follow the law. Now if they were one in the same there would be no difference . But you see there is a difference. Paul talks about a couple things that will help us, he talks about not trying to carry a burden heavier then even there fathers couldn’t carry. Interestingly enough, in Deuteronomy I think, when Joshua took over he tells Israel to pick up a rock and put it on there shoulder and carry it, however the priests stood on the rock. So see what messiah did for us! We get to follow him , not pick up the rock on our shoulders.
HalleluYAH!! Elohim yevarech otha achis. Shalom alechem.
Everything is created through Christ and for Him. Yes He is the Law of Moses!
I am the law of Moses… mic drop 🎤
U know Some people think that this line is from something else, but to me I suddenly remembers John 5:46
Tom, Sam I've thought about this and wonder what you might think.
When Jonathan reads the "Law of Moses" line, I think all the controversy about the line (Book of Mormon) could have been avoided with: a scoff - almost a frustrated scoff, a verbal harumph, between "I Am" and the "Law of Moses" basically Jesus tying Himself right back to Exodus 3:14.
Jonathan could have said:
I AM!!! (Forceful, declarative)
(Scoff)
The Law of Moses... (almost under his breath) and then another
I AM!! (Declarative, booming, even more forcefully!)
I say put the scoff there because the priest is talking about (the law of) Moses and in Exodus 3 God told Moses His name was I AM..
Why? In an attempt to make the priest fall down and realize that here's Jesus equating Himself with... I AM???
An even greater shock and awe moment and clearly tying back to Exodus 3. I don't know, I wish they could make a post release VO edit to lean hard into the "I AM" comment. You guys didn't mention Exodus 3 but that's right where my brain went!
Personally, I prefer to go with Dr. Tom's explanation - no post release needed for me!
@@jorinebustraan9659 there's always that person that kisses up to the teacher
🤣 just teasing
I am the one always asking questions

GREETINGS FROM POLAND :)
I know this has nothing to do with the topic, but every time I watch you guys I can't help think you could be a Hugh Laurie look alike circa Jeeves and Wooster. I Enjoy your cometary
This is the word of the Lord in the Gospel according to Luke chapter 24: These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you-that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. He also said to them, “This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day, and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
This scene is beautifully done.
Christ is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.
There is little heretical or blasphemous here.
At first, I was like What are they talking about?
After watching the entire scene, I came to realize what they were trying to express here.
Thank you for doing a great job commenting on this episode. However there is a huge contradiction in this Chosen episode which needs to be pointed out.
@ the 14:30 mark Yeshua says a blessing before he eats regarding the washing of hands. “Blessed art thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast sanctified us by thy commandments, and hast given us command concerning the washing of the hands”.
There is no such commandment in scripture. This is a rabbinical and not a scriptural commandment invented by the Rabbis. When they show Yeshua doing something He would never do, it makes it difficult for people who are learning to tell the difference between the Biblical vs the Rabbinical Commandments.
This adding to and taking away from the word of God is exactly what Yeshua was calling the Pharisees out for in Matthew 15:2-3: “Then the scribes and Pharisees who were from Jerusalem came to Yeshua, saying, Why do Your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat bread. Yeshua answered and said to them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?”
Hopefully in future episodes they will convey the Law of Moses correctly which is so perfectly summed up in 1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God-that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome” and in John 14:15 when Yeshua said “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments”.
"I am [AM] the Law of Moses.". Reminds me of Joan of Arc, "I AM [Je suis] a good Christian." -- Joan of Arc. Joan of Arc said basically, "I AM the Law of Jesus.". "I AM the Commandments of Jesus.". "I AM the body and blood of Jesus.
I’m been pondering this question for a long time like sure Jesus never says it, it’s not in red letters in your Bible, but is it implied?
His message is also about humility...the Jewish people had been told for centuries that they were 'the chosen people' until they lost all humility...they were not coming to God as a little child, asking for help...in their own eyes, they were way above that...they sinned because they thought that they were better than everyone else--even God, in the form of Jesus--we cannot reach God from a place of superiority...we can only reach him on our knees...dts/usa
Luke 24:44 and John 5:45-47 speaks to the effect that Jesus is the Law of Moses.
Note to director: Why did you choose "shaky camera" for your shots?
John 5:39, ESV: You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, John 5:39, KJV: Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Is it a few days yet?!!
Gods vengance is His love for people! He loves instead of kills and gives many chances before He gives on someone. He wants that none should perish. These people expected violence and military retaliation. It is love!
Not only what you said here, but the law was spoken from God to Moses. By identifying himself as the law of Moses, he is identifying himself with the very spoken word of God. And because the law was so worshiped by the Jewish leaders, he was saying that he was worthy of worship. And one thing more, he was saying that the law of Moses was fulfilled in him.
It is even more than having an expectation of a Davidic Messiah: Jesus clearly had knowledge of who HE was; but the Jewish leaders/priests kept judging him on outward appearances and his familial status (which was less than theirs)--they could not hear him (and many still cannot)...God sends the Messiah that they have prayed for, for centuries, and the people are so blind that they totally miss him...I truly wonder if this will not reoccur when he returns...we may have an expectation--and if someone does not match that expectation--how many will miss that person as the second coming? how many? dts/usa
Abraham is also the father of some gentiles, through Esau. Right?
I’d like to see y’all’s reaction to the videos people make claiming the negatives of this series.
We should be sad for those that will experience the Lord’s vengeance. If not for Yeshua we would be in that group.
Those that experience His vengeance are those that disobeyed His words... Not the rest of the people... :)
Jesus is a Word which became a Flesh. He is a Word. You put the law down with Words.
“In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word WAS God.
[…]
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”
Jesus Christ of Nazareth
IS
the Word of God.
That means He IS
“the Law of Moses”…. AND THEN SOME.
I really don’t understand how there is any controversy around this line.
I think also the point everyone missed is this was taking place in His home town of Nazareth and they had little faith because they watched Him grow up as a boy, the carpenter's son so they outright were rejecting Him as it is recorded He could not perform many miracles there because of their unbelief and that added to their anger accusing Him of blasphemy. It is not recorded anywhere though that Jesus ever said "I am the Law of Moses" which caused such controversy, even with myself. I used to be a diehard fan but I keep seeing Dallas adding in his artistic license everywhere and it is not necessary for him to do so and it creates a church divided which is not a good witness to the lost! And I'm a bit put off how he and other commentators such as The Snipe Life calling Mary as Mother Mary! Mary was just a chosen vessel used by God as she was blessed among women and so she ended up bearing basically God's seed and bore Jesus but she is NOT the Mother of God! Many hold Mary to such a high esteem they seem to place deity upon her. Also, as they were pushing Him towards the cliff and He says "not today" I don't believe that is scriptural either as I believe it reads "he passed through their midst"! anyway, just my thoughts. I'm not so sure about this series so much anymore. We will see what the next episodes hold.
Throughout this episode there are clear indications of how their expectations were based on that fact that they knew Him as a child (like Rabbi Benjamin's wife: "our Jesus wouldn't say that!")
There's a vast theological difference between being the mother of God and the mother of Jesus (cf Isaiah: a CHILD was born, a SON was given!) But whatever your view, Mary is beyond any doubt the mother of Jesus. Actually, Dallas often refers to her as Mary mother, to distinguish her from Mary Magdalene.
As for "the Law of Moses" quotation: the way Dr. Tom explained it, going back to the root of The Law, said it all - brilliant!!
Jesus is God, Mary is His Mother, so she is the Mother of God!
@@beesinthegardens No, it doesn't. Of course she is a creature. She is not His mother as if His divine nature originated from her, but she bore Him who is both God and man.
@@mirnacudiczgela1963 I've thought about this for a while. It sounds logical and is even in some Christmas songs. However, God is eternal: He is, was, and always shall be! Jesus was before Mary was. Jesus is also fully God and fully man! A mystery! Then it came to me! Jesus IS fully God AND fully man! God the Father begat His Son, the Son of God, Jesus! Mary on the other hand, bore the human incarnate Jesus. Two separate entities in one. The is no way that a human can be a parent of God! That denies the infinite power of God and His eternal existence! So no, your logic is flawed! Mary had a baby MAN and called His Name Jesus as God through the angel instructed her to do! God caused her to become pregnant with a man child but God breathed His Spirit into Jesus fulfilling that He is fully man AND fully God! To believe any other way is heretical! GOD has no parent that birthed Him especially not a human and Mary was fully human, no part God. Therefore she is NOT the mother of God!
@@unimatrixx001 I've read somewhere an argument that we humans when we have children we say we are their parents not of their bodies only even though only their bodies originate from us while God gave them souls. So Mary may be said to be a mother of Jesus as an entire person who is both fully God and fully man.
I can only attribute this statement to either hubris or a lack of biblical understanding. Not sure which. If Jesus had said that the writers would have written it down. He obviously didn’t. It’s clear from the scriptures that the law of Moses could not save anyone, read the book of Hebrews, Galatians, Romans, etc.
“The phrase “the Lord of the Sabbath” is found in Matthew 12:8, Mark 2:28, and Luke 6:5. In all three instances Jesus is referring to Himself as the Lord of the Sabbath or, as Mark records it, “The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:28). In these verses, Jesus is proclaiming that He is the One who exercises authority even over the rules and regulations that govern the Sabbath day.
As such, Jesus was proclaiming to the world, especially to the legalistic Pharisees, that He was greater than the Law and above the laws of the Mosaic Covenant because, as God in flesh, He is the Author of those laws. Unable to keep the Law, however, the Pharisees had instituted a complex and confusing system of Sabbath laws of their own that was oppressive and legalistic. They had set up strict laws regarding how to observe the Sabbath, which included 39 categories of forbidden activities. In essence, these religious leaders had made themselves lords of the Sabbath, thus making themselves lords over the people.” From gotquestionsdotorg
John 1:14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
The word that gave life to the Samaritans and Israelites are the Torah. Many books the old testament kept as major is considered a novel in the tanakh. One of the most famous of which is the book of Daniel which is in Ketuvim, a novel and not a prophet.
Make of it what you will but Jesus is the Law of Moses not that he is subordinate to Moses but rather he is the transcendental giver of the law and possessor of the law. And the Torah is the agreed upon revelation from God that the Jews build their life on.
Why didn’t The Chosen use what was recorded in the bible? The Word is always more powerful than mans script.
According to Dallas, his intentions are different than the Bible’s intentions.
The Bible’s intent is to speak Truth and point people to God through Jesus Christ.
Dallas’s intent is to tickle ears and entertain the goats for $$.
BOOM
I find it interesting that Jewish and Christian values are so different, but Jesus’s foundation was Jewish law and traditions. He just made it better IMO
It wasn't that he made it better brother, the law is the law, but we as sinners can never ever fulfill that law, so the law became flesh to save us.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made, and without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea it." John 1:1-5
The Law Was GOD. The word became flesh.
Romans 8: 3
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
The Law of Moses was Christlikeness in the temporary form of a legal code. The Law of Moses regulated outward behavior. Under the New Covenant, we have Christlikeness written directly into our hearts. The Law of Christ transforms our motivations.
What disgusts me is that the people who cheered when Jonathan Roumie said “I am the Law of Moses” were cheering his defiant behavior NOT what he was actually saying because what he said was nonsensical in light of what scripture actually says and what sits at the very core of the Gospel.
Romans 3:20 makes it clear that the Law convicts/judges/enslaves us while Jesus Himself said that He did not come to judge but to save us.
No matter how much you massage it for the sake of damage control, it still smells like a white washed tomb.
Jesus is always reading our heart. If you remember the end of Season 1, Shmuel told Nicodemus that “the law IS God”. So in the heart of Pharisees, the law IS God. When Jesus said “I AM the law of Moses”, he is reading their heart and saying “I AM God”.
Someone recently told me that Jesus came here to open the Heart Chakra of Humanity at large: Unconditional LOVE, no matter what their heritage was. 'THE CHOSEN' shifted from Abraham's exclusive circle.
I hope you told that person there is no such thing as a "heart chakra".
True. Is the expectation of what the coming messiah is. The people thought the messiah will save them from Rome. Lead them to war and drive the oppressors from the land.
The law of Moses is the word of God, and it says the Word was God so when he says I am the law of Moses he's right
Wow, that’s a stretch and not even close to what this scene was about.
“Following the Law of Moses” in this context was meant to be a veiled threat about stoning him for blasphemy because he had just claimed to be the Messiah. His response about being the Law of Moses was completely nonsensical in that context.
In scripture, what really happened was that they became enraged and wanted to murder Him. It had nothing to do with the Law of Moses because they were simply going to throw Him off a cliff out of pure hatred.
People enjoyed Roumie’s response not because it made any sense or was even remotely true but rather because it was snotty and defiant. And in America, snotty defiance sells almost as well as sex.
@@touchofgrace3217 I see it a different way. Yes, they believed Jesus had committed blasphemy because he claimed to be the Messiah, and used "Following the Law of Moses" as their reason for wanting him dead, and attempting to kill him. With the movie line's response, Jesus is confirming he is Messiah, the Son of God, by taking credit for being the Word of God, and thus the owner (true author)) of the Torah. He's saying, in effect, Moses recorded my words when he (Moses) wrote the Torah, but they are my (Jesus) words.
Jesus completes the quote from Isaiah later in Luke’s gospel
“Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those who are in the midst of her depart, and let not those who are in the country enter her. For these are the DAYS OG VENGEANCE, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.”
Luke 21:21-22
Jesus did not apply Isaiah’s words to the return of the Lord.
Thank you so much for the insight and the great break down of what was said. "He's not speaking english" perfect.
I'm going with Jesus is the law of Moses. After all He was the Word. I'm not in a dither about that.
Brandon Robbins has released a video saying that the people were enraged by Jesus declaring them unrighteous, not by Him declaring Himself Messiah. Do u agree?
Declaring someone unrighteous wasn't a stonable offense.
@@CelticSpiritsCoven in this case, not someone but the nation of Israel, needs to be born again to enter heaven
JESUS QUOTING PART OF ISAIAH NOW AND THE REST LATER:
Many have pointed out that Jesus at the beginning of His ministry quotes Isaiah 61:1-2 but only quotes all of verse 1 and the first part of verse 2 leaving out the phrase “…and the day of vengeance of our God…” Why does Jesus leave this portion out? Because the beginning of the portion is in fact what Jesus came to accomplish. So then the question one must ask is, when is the day of vengeance? Some have incorrectly projected the day of vengeance to be a day in the distant future. The advocates of Dispensational Premillennialism claim that it is during what they call the seven year tribulation, the reign of a single individual called the antichrist and the killing of 2/3’s of the Jewish people while (depending on what view one holds) the church has been raptured from the earth. Of the problem with view is that it unbiblical and nowhere explicitly taught.
WHAT IS THE DAY OF VENGEANCE:
Jesus does quote this portion of Isaiah 61:2 but a little later in His ministry when His rejection and soon crucifixion occurs. The Jews who reject and have Him unjustly murdered by the hands of the Romans are cause that God’s vengeance is poured out on them. Jesus quotes this portion during His Olivet Discourse (in Luke’s Gospel) which is a prophecy of the coming tumult to fall upon all of Judea and specifically Jerusalem for uprising against Rome. This uprising would inevitably result in Jerusalem being completely leveled and her temple wholly destroyed by the summer of AD 70.
Luke 21:22 NASB
[22] because these are days of vengeance, so that all things which are written will be fulfilled.
Notice that Jesus doesn’t say that “the days of vengeance” are sometime in the distant future. No, he says these (same Greek word for “this” which is a near demonstrative pronoun) days meaning the days that were currently at hand. This day (not literally one day) is the day the Old Testament prophets spoke about and it was fulfilled in the 1st century (AD 67-70).
John Gill (Luke 21:22):
Of God's vengeance on the Jewish nation, for their rejection and crucifixion of the Messiah
Adam Clarke:
St. Luke, Luk 21:22, calls these the days of vengeance, that all things which were written might be fulfilled.
1. These were the days in which all the calamities predicted by Moses, Joel, Daniel, and other prophets, as well as those predicted by our Savior, met in one common center, and were fulfilled in the most terrible manner on that generation.
2. These were the days of vengeance in another sense, as if God’s judgments had certain periods and revolutions; for it is remarkable that the temple was burned by the Romans in the same month, and on the same day of the month, on which it had been burned by the Babylonians. See Josephus, War, b. vi. c. 4.
Jamieson-Fausset Brown Bible Commentary:
by armies-encamped armies, that is, besieged: "the abomination of desolation" (meaning the Roman ensigns, as the symbols of an idolatrous, pagan, unclean power) "spoken of by Daniel the prophet" (Da 9:27) "standing where it ought not" (Mr 13:14). "Whoso readeth [that prophecy] let him understand" (Mt 24:15).
The justice and judgment was not to the earth in the Hebrew text...it was the judgment of Old Covenant Israel for violating and breaking the covenant. The harlot city is Revelation is called, "Where our Lord was crucified."
In John 8:58, Jesus was not claiming to be God. In Exodus 3:14, the LXX uses ho on ("The Being, The One Who Is"). In John 8:58, the text uses ego eimi ("I am").
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
Jesus was saying he was born before Abraham, that's it. Another words, greater than Abraham. If he was quoting God here, the text would have read "ho on." The context backs this up!
53 “Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;
Weren’t the women behind a screen.
Galatians 4:21-31 KJVS
Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? [22] For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. [23] But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. [24] Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. [25] For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children. [26] But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. [27] For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. [28] Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise. [29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. [30] Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman. [31] So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
