Podcasts about jewish new testament

 If there was an award for my most frequent guest, it would be Rabbi Ron Goldberg! He is my “Frequent Flyer!”  Catch my other podcasts on this site or on iTunes. Here's a little background:Rabbi Ron was raised Jewish. While in High School, Ron did two things Jewish people are not supposed to do. First, he began sneaking out to church. Second, he read the "forbidden" Jewish New Testament. As a result, Ron met the Jewish Jesus. In 1985 he spent several months in deprogramming where 2 counselors tried to get Ron to reject Yeshua as Messiah. This was unsuccessful and he has spent his life helping people meet the Jewish Jesus.   Some of Rabbi Ron's Experience:​Jews For Jesus Summer Campaign 1990Mentored & ordained by Jonathan Bernis.‘Hear O Israel' Outreach in Russia & IndiaLed a Messianic Congregation for 16 yearsCo-host of Messianic radio show for 5 yearsTaught in churches/colleges since 1986Trains people in sharing the Good News with Jewish PeopleIn this broadcast Rabbi Ron shared an update of what's happening with his family. 

Join Leah for an engaging exploration of these thought-provoking topics and gain a deeper understanding of their relevance today as she delves into the enigmatic parables of Jesus, including a teaching story by AJ Levine—a Jewish New Testament scholar—and an analysis of a famous parable from the Gospel of Matthew. The teaching also addresses the cultural context of the parables and the significance of discussing the concept of consequences in the afterlife as a teaching tool. (The video by AJ Levine is an excerpt from her “Jesus in Text and Context” speech at Westminster Town Hall. The exact times are Part 1: 21:35 to 24:02 and Part 2: 24:02 to 26:47.)

  Mike Murphy joins me on the podcast this week as we talk about a tremendous talk we attended given by Jewish New Testament scholar Amy-Jill Levine. Interestingly it was held on what was deemed by some as a national day of hate. Our speaker and the crowd gathered defied... The post Mike Murphy – episode 355 appeared first on Anita Lustrea.

In this episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Jared are joined by Jewish New Testament scholar Pamela Eisenbaum to talk about the many misunderstandings surrounding Paul, one of the most complicated figures of the New Testament, and the lens through which he viewed the concept of salvation.

Luke 16:1-13 Then Jesus said to the disciples, "There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was squandering his property. So he summoned him and said to him, 'What is this that I hear about you? Give me an accounting of your management, because you cannot be my manager any longer.'Then the manager said to himself, 'What will I do, now that my master is taking the position away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do so that, when I am dismissed as manager, people may welcome me into their homes.'“So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?' He answered, 'A hundred jugs of olive oil.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.' Then he asked another, 'And how much do you owe?' He replied, 'A hundred containers of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill and make it eighty.' And his master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly; for the children of this age are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than are the children of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes."Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. If then you have not been faithful with the dishonest wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own? No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." This is always a tricky parable, for a bunch of Christian Capitalists, like us. Jesus seems to be commending someone's dishonesty, or “shrewdness,” as the story goes, for the sake of saving face and for the sake of saving his own behind. On the surface it looks like Jesus is inviting us to celebrate a shyster who was bad at his job, about to get fired for it, and who cooked the books in order to save his reputation and earn some favors – to set himself up for opportunities and prospects once he was out of a job, in a financial pickle, and looking for work.But that can't be, can it? I'm not sure Jesus would encourage the dishonesty or the book-cooking or the money-laundering of a 1st Century white collar criminal, would he? So I've begun to wonder over the years, if Jesus isn't talking as much about money or business deals or management practices as we like to assume, Christian Capitalists that we are. So, I think it matters that all of this starts out as just another parable, in a string of parables. And a parable, we know, is nothing more and nothing less than a story about one thing that is often used to teach us about something else, entirely. Last week, when Jesus talked about a lost coin being found and about a stray sheep being brought back into the fold, he wasn't actually talking about coins or sheep, was he? He was talking about lost souls, and sinners and outcasts, being welcomed into and cared for by God and God's people.And in a similar parable, just before what we heard today – the one about the Prodigal Son? – Jesus wasn't talking about someone he knew, or someone who actually lived and breathed in 1st Century Galilee, necessarily. He was telling a story about what may have been a make-believe father and some make-believe sons. And he was showing how that father – who loved both of his boys, in spite of their selfishness and sin – was a picture of the God we're called to know in Jesus, himself.Are you with me? Jesus tells parables about pearls and fish; about mustard seeds and fig trees; about slaves and virgins; about weddings and wheat fields, wineskins and weeds. A parable is a parable … a story … nothing more and nothing less. And Jesus' parables are very often – most often, perhaps – not at all about the things in the stories that he tells, in any kind of literal sense.So what if, in this difficult parable of the shrewd, sneaky, dishonest steward we just heard, Jesus isn't really talking about business management practices, or about debts of money or oil or wheat or other “things” valuable in the eyes of the disciples to whom he was teaching?What if the “shrewd, dishonest steward” was being creative and crafty with the riches of the Master's kingdom. And what if that “Master,” as in the rest of Jesus' parables, represents the God of the Universe. And if that's the case – and I'd bet you a hundred jugs of oil and eighty containers of wheat that it is – then the riches and resources of which he speaks aren't oil or wheat or property at all, but things like love and mercy, justice and humility, repentance and forgiveness, and so on?So, this might be a little theologically risky – and again, I could be wrong – but I read this week that Amy Jill-Levine (one of the most wise and respected Jewish New Testament scholars alive today) says this parable “defies any fully satisfactory explanation”, so I've taken it upon myself to re-write this parable, in an attempt to cut the confusion and to make Jesus' parable say what I think he means and mean what I think he might be trying to say, without the mystery and confusion and consternation this parable has caused so many over the years. So, what if the parable just went like this:"There is this God, full – not of oil or wheat or things you can track in a ledger – but full of love and mercy and grace and forgiveness. And God had a disciple he charged with sharing those blessings with the world around him. When God found out the disciple was squandering what he'd asked him to tend to, to care for, and to share, God summoned that disciple and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? That you're being selfish and holding grudges and judging others; that you're counting sins, and keeping people out, and pretending you have more power than you do or should? If all of that's true – if you've been withholding grace and blessing and mercy and love – you cannot be my disciple any longer. I can't have you going around pretending you do all of this in my name, for the sake of my kingdom.”So the disciple said to himself, 'What am I gonna do now that God, my master, is taking this position and privilege away from me? How could I have been so selfish and blind to the needs of the world around me? How could I have withheld from so many others, what was so generously shared with me in the first place? I'm not strong enough to have earned this grace on my own. I'm as ashamed as anyone to need the forgiveness God offers. And I never earned any of it in the first place.”“I know what I'll do. I'll do what I should have done all along. I'll be as generous and kind and forgiving with others as I woulda/coulda/shoulda been all along; which is all that was ever asked of me in the first place.”So, summoning God's children one by one, the disciple asked the first, 'What is it you feel like you owe to God? For what sin are you holding onto such guilt?' And when this lost and broken soul confessed his sin, the disciple said to him, “Don't' worry about it another minute. Your God – our Master – is a gracious, loving God of forgiveness and mercy. Receive the good news of that, go on your way, sin no more and return the favor of this kind of forgiveness to someone in your life.”And the disciple did the same with another fellow sinner, and another and another – extending grace, announcing forgiveness, and expressing love for the least of those in the world around him. He got so crafty and so creative, so generous and so extravagant with the love of God for all people, that some called him foolish… and reckless… and un-faithful, even. But God smiled, because the disciple had finally learned where true value and real riches and actual worth and new life are found in this world.”Doesn't that sound more like something Jesus might mean? Isn't it more likely what Jesus was inviting his disciples – and the likes of you and me – to be shrewd and sneaky and generous-to-a-fault with the things of the Kingdom – with forgiveness, grace, love, and mercy? And once we see this parable through that kind of lens, the rest of it makes more sense, if you ask me.Jesus said, "Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.” In other words, even a little bit of faithfulness with a little bit of God's love goes a really long way. And even a little bit of misuse or abuse of God's goodness can do a whole lot of damage.And he said, “…if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?” In other words, if you can't share, with generosity and grace, what is God's in the first place, then you haven't truly received it, yourself.And finally, Jesus said, “No slave can serve two masters; for a slave will either hate the one and love the other, or be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth." And all of this puts into perspective the truth of what is valuable and worthy in God's kingdom vs. what is valuable and worthy in the eyes of the world.And I wonder if that might be Jesus' point with the parable. Maybe the story is about money, but only in-so-far as we see how money doesn't matter much in God's economy, unless or until it's being used to bless and benefit God's children in life-giving ways. But grace and forgiveness and mercy and the love of our creator, are another story. And Jesus is inviting us to be extravagantly careless with that love, to give it away – recklessly, with abandon, in ways that seem surprising, that go against conventional wisdom, that seem other-worldly, even, which is just the way our God lives and breathes and moves and is revealed among us … and through us … for the sake of the world.Amen

Listen in on our Zoom conversation with Pam Eisenbaum. Part 2 contains our question and answer session with the Denver Brew Theology crew.________Although these contemporary issues challenging our world today seem far removed from the world of the Bible, there are many today who read the Bible—or at least revere it as a source of authority—with the belief that it offers them guidance on how they live their lives. Most Bible readers do not read Greek and Hebrew and thus depend upon scholars and preachers who do the work of translation and interpretation. Unfortunately, much of the Bible in translation perpetuates stereotypes that contribute to the plagues of Anti-Semitism, Racism, and Xenophobia, and in many cases, contemporary translations make them worse. Moreover, long-held destructive traditions of interpretation accompany the minds of unwitting readers or reciters of favorite scriptural passages.   In this podcast we will consider a few illustrative examples of misread, mistranslated, misused, and misunderstood snippets from the Bible—little phrases and sentences that have had enormously bad effects, even though, in most cases, such effects were not inevitable. But, before we look at texts, I first want us to look at a few recent incidents. I hope not only to show ways in which the Bible—at least certain texts—inform and inflame hatred, but I also want to show the ways in which Anti-Semitism and racism—particularly anti-Black racism are linked. They are not merely two examples of negative stereotyping or bias against marginalized groups; the two are often linked in ways that need explaining.   ///   Pamela Eisenbaum is professor of Biblical studies and Christian origins at Iliff, and is associate faculty of the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver. One of four Jewish New Testament scholars teaching in Christian theological schools, she is the author of The Jewish Heroes of Christian History: Hebrews 11 in Literary Context, Invitations to Romans, and most recently, Paul Was Not a Christian: The Original Message of a Misunderstood Apostle. She has published many essays on the Bible, ancient Judaism and the origins of Christianity, and is an active member of the Society of Biblical Literature.   A passion for working with ancient manuscripts has increasingly informed her research.

Please rate and review on Apple Podcasts.  - Anti-Jewish sentiment hides out in some of the most liberal Christian theologies - often portraying Jesus as a radical feminist an counter-cultural icon against a “backward” Jewish culture. In this episode, I talk with Amy-Jill Levine, a Jewish New Testament scholar, about this Good-Jesus / Bad-Judaism binary, and other us-versus-them mentalities in public life. Rather than demonize those who are different from us, Amy-Jill encourages conversation and embracing genuine curiosity about their side of the story.

I will share some examples that happened as the LORD spoke to me by His Spirit while I was driving in Jerusalem. However, nothing would have transpired IF I had NOT obeyed WHAT He was telling me to do. Sometimes the LORD will instruct us to do things that seem impossible … or unrealistic … or just plain stupid. Don't try to figure it out … just obey! ___________________________________________ MIRACLES AT JERUSALEMOBEY – DON'T QUESTION~ A MIRACLE PODCAST PRODUCTION ~                                         I want to talk to you today about listening to God. I was reading the news today about Israel, and Jerusalem, and the forces that are facing against them―and trying to destroy―them. My mind kept rolling over the great victories that God has given Israel in the past. My friend, if you want to experience great victories in your personal life, then YOU help Israel.                            The Bible tells us, to "Pray for the peace of Yerushalayim. They will prosper that love her," so if you want to be blessed … YOU help the Jews―get on God's side. Don't be against God or you'll be on the losing side … and don't be against Israel or you'll be on the losing side. I was driving down the street in Jerusalem and going by what was at that time named the Jerusalem Hilton Hotel, (It is now named the David Citadel Hotel.)                            It was snowing--a light snow in March―as I was driving by the hotel, the Spirit of God spoke to me and said, "I want you to go in and I want you to book facilities: I want you to hold a seminar for the Messiah." [What I want to speak to you specifically about today is listening to the Voice of God: the Spirit of God.] I went in to the hotel and I was directed to the Sales Manager, a man named Ya'aqov Avneri: Jacob Avneri.                           We met and discussed the seminar I wanted to have; he asked me, "What is it that you want to do at the seminar?" I told him that I was a believer in the Mashiach―in the Messiah Yeshua―and I wanted to hold meetings for both Jews and Arabs: for whoever would like to attend. Mr. Avneri was a little―well, maybe a lot―hesitant. We begin to talk, and finally I noticed a college ring on Jacob's hand. I said, "Ya'aqov, where did you go to university?" He said, "At the University of Nevada in Las Vegas," and I said, "I used to live in Las Vegas."                            We began to talk back and forth and we started really enjoying one another ... so Ya'aqov said to me, "You know what? I'm going to lease you the facilities," … "but there's one condition." and I said, "What's that?" He said, "You're going to have to allow us to do the catering." But even before that the Holy Spirit had instructed me, "Whatever he says to you, do it. Agree with it," so I said, "Well, how much will that cost, Jacob?"                          He began to tell me the cost and I'm, "Whoa!” The facilities were expensive enough; but I remembered what God told me by His Spirit. He said, "Whatever he says, do it." I said, "Okay. Go ahead and cater the facilities." So I had a seminar there, and without any press release or anything, God brought in Jews, and Arabs, and all kinds of people. And it was a tremendous seminar! The Spirit of God began ministering in his gifts since I begin to share about Yeshua and there were miraculous healings.                           One United Nations officer came to the seminar. He was a Major with the UN Forces. The Holy Spirit gave me a Word of Knowledge for him. (If you don't know what the word of knowledge is, it's where the Holy Spirit shows you a situation about someone or something, He reveals that situation. See my book: “How to Receive God's Power with Gifts of the Spirit.” I gave the Word of Knowledge and the United Nations officer was dumbfounded. He was miraculously healed, and then the Lord baptized him in the Holy Spirit and he spoke in a new language: in tongues. [The language of the Spirit, speaking in tongues as we read about in the Jewish New Testament, in the B'rit Chadashah, in the Book of Acts Chapter 2.]                            Well later that United Nations officer was able to get materials out of the country―out of Israel―to me in the United States. From the information in those materials―with God's help―I was able to reach tens of thousands of wonderful Jewish people in the land of Israel. A while later, a Jewish man called me from San Francisco. He was from Tiberias. He had a business in Tiberias. He was probably in his early '60s. I was in my publishing house when he called. I don't know how he was able to contact me because I had an unlisted phone number.                           The man told me: "I will pay anything to meet you," I answered, "That is not necessary; I will meet you Thursday morning in the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California." When he came into the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel, I recognized him from his description (what he would be wearing), We went out to the rear of the main lobby where all the water pools are and I talked to him for two hours from the Tanakh―the Hebrew Scriptures―and shared with him the scriptures dealing with the Mashiach (Messiah). The LORD opened his eyes―opened his heart―and he received Yeshua (Jesus) as his personal Messiah.                          He was so happy ... and he pulled out of his briefcase a piece of literature that his daughter had received from Handley World Services. Now, as I said, he was in his early '60s, and his daughter had been raised and had her own family. As a result of the United Nations officer being healed and baptized in God's Spirit and speaking in tongues a few months before at the seminar, the Jewish daughter of the man I prayed with from Tiberias at the Disneyland Hotel received one of the pieces of literature that I sent to her.                               After about six weeks she took it to her father, a businessman in Tiberias, Israel. They both realized it was a sign from God and that's why her father came all the way to the United States. Again, I never knew how he got my unlisted phone number; I forgot to ask him. He received Yeshua and I took him immediately back after that to the desk where he changed his flight and flew right back to Israel.                            The point I want to make now is that it's important to listen to the Holy Spirit. Listen to God when He speaks to you. God may sometimes also give you an idea. Read my book, “Real Miracles for Normal People.” It may not be an idea for you, it may be an idea for you to share with someone. We should be good stewards of the ideas that God gives us, so listen to the Voice of God, and then do what God tells you: obey Him. Then God will use YOU to help others. God will do MIRACLES―not only for you―but through you so that you can be blessed, be a blessing to those around you―AND―to those around the world.                              And check out the following two (2) resources that will help you plan and implement with precision so that you can see MIRACLES in your every day life, business or ministry.   HOW TO RECEIVE GOD'S POWER & GIFTS REAL MIRACLES FOR NORMAL PEOPLE Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

Brew Theology is still brewin' the goodies in this sweet month of January 2018 with Dr. Pam Eisenbaum. Episode 66 is Part 3 of a 3 part series with Pam alongside Janel Apps Ramsey, Rob Carrol and Ryan Miller. Dr. Eisenbaum is an amazing human being who loves rooting for the San Antonio Spurs (God's Team), and she's happens to be a pretty rad Jewish scholar that lives in THE Mile High city! We've talked about Midrash, the Talmud, political tribalism, postmodernism, Hellenism, evangelicalism, Parker Palmer, and much more. We dabble into some personal stories (Ryan, Rob & Janel get raw as Pam flips the table and asks them questions about their faith journey). This 2nd part of this podcast ends with Pam talking about myths regarding the Bible. And you'll see why we need a part 4, 5 and 6 down the road. Pam's destined to come back!  YES... We know you love these shows. Keep brewin' friends... /// As a professional biblical scholar, people often ask Dr. Eisenbaum “is the Bible true?” It may be framed as a yes-or-no question, but in fact it is a complicated one, and for reasons many people haven’t thought of. In the following episosdes we will explore some of the reasons why it’s complicated, and how to think about the question differently.  /// Pamela Eisenbaum is professor of Biblical studies and Christian origins at Iliff, and is associate faculty of the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver. One of four Jewish New Testament scholars teaching in Christian theological schools, she is the author of The Jewish Heroes of Christian History: Hebrews 11 in Literary Context, Invitations to Romans, and most recently, Paul Was Not a Christian: The Original Message of a Misunderstood Apostle. She has published many essays on the Bible, ancient Judaism and the origins of Christianity, and is an active member of the Society of Biblical Literature. A passion for working with ancient manuscripts has increasingly informed her research. Professor Eisenbaum has experience working with the Dead Sea Scrolls and spent time at the Chester Beatty Library in Dublin studying the oldest surviving manuscript of Paul’s Letters (dated c. 200 C.E.).

On our website, you will find teaching on different areas of faith. The audio podcast series, “Removing Doubt from the Heart,” addresses numerous vital aspects of faith. These articles address another part to faith, one that is by no means less important. Why are we doing this? We are contending earnestly for the faith! Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ (Jude 1:3-4 NET). There was a faith that was once for all delivered to the saints, and in these articles, we are contending earnestly for it. Do you know how faith was viewed in apostolic times? You may think you know, but allow this series to challenge you, and possibly, to bring you additional light to whatever concept of faith you may have. Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified (2 Corinthians 13:5 NKJV). These articles have to do with examining and testing yourself to see whether the faith you and me have is genuine. …That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ… (1Peter 1:7 NKJV) We need some solid information properly drawn from the Scripture to know about this genuine faith in order to function and live by it. For the righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel from faith to faith, just as it is written, “The righteous by faith will live.” (Romans 1:17 NET) Real Bible faith is not commonplace. Actually, before the coming of the Lord, it may be in comparatively short supply. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth? (Luke 18:8 NET) What a question! It's there as a challenge to you and me in Christ. I want to be among those that Jesus says when He comes, “I found faith in him.” Don't you? I am doing my part earnestly so that the message of faith gets out to the Body of Christ. Are you doing it too? You can help spread the word by forwarding these articles and the audios on the subject of faith on our website. We need this message of faith today  because we are closer to His coming!   The key that unlocks Paul’s own views and interpretations Here is how we will begin to study this side of the subject of faith. We begin with a question.   How did the great apostle Paul (and others) use the word faith? How can we be 100% positive as to the apostolic interpretation of that word 2000 years ago? Wouldn’t that be the most important consideration when reading the epistles? We do not want to take our modern idea of the definition of faith and read it back into the New Testament. Yet, that is precisely what is done on many fronts. The key that unlocks Paul’s own views and interpretations can be found in the many quotations, references, and allusions from the Old Testament in his epistles. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:14-17 NKJV). Paul was not filling up space when he quoted Old Testament Scripture. It was the basis for his teaching. Paul’s doctrine (teaching) was centered on the Old Testament, the Holy and inspired-by-God Scriptures. The New Testament wasn’t yet written in his day. All that existed in his day was the Old Testament. For some reason, many believe that Paul’s doctrinal position came uniquely via a special revelation unrelated to the Hebrew Old Testament. Paul’s doctrine or teaching was constructed out of that already revealed in Holy Scriptures, according to 2nd Timothy 3:15 and 16. The Hebrew Bible was his foundation even though he wrote in Greek, and quoted from the Greek Septuagint translation of the Old Testament. We will say much more about all that in the next article. To make it even harder to swallow for those in the grip of modern interpretations, Paul stated that the OLD TESTAMENT Hebrew Bible (The Holy Scriptures) was “able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.” Paul was solidly basing the salvation message he taught through faith in Christ Jesus on the Old Testament Holy Scriptures. What? Paul was preaching Jesus and salvation through faith by using the Old Testament? That alone, throws some traditional thoughts into a tailspin, and we are just getting started! Paul’s doctrine was rooted and grounded in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures. Yet, some foolishly throw out the Hebrew Holy Scriptures in favor of Paul’s epistles viewed according to new interpretations that have nothing to do with the apostle’s doctrine. Some even throw out the words of Jesus in the Gospels, and have proclaimed Paul the “savior” of the Gentiles. It is truly disgusting how some deny the words of our Lord today. Not only is it repulsive, it is deeply anti-Christ to reject the words of our Master, Jesus. If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words… (1Timothy 6:3, 4 NKJV) We must consent to the words of Jesus in the Gospels (and Acts and Revelation), and to the doctrine which accords with godliness. [1] Those that reject these are full of pride, they don’t know anything, and they are obsessed with disputes and arguments. Have you come across any people like that? They believe that the words of Jesus and the Old Testament are irrelevant for believers today because they believe His words were contrary to grace and were under the law. Is that teaching anti-Christ and anti-God? Yes it is. It is also anti - the Holy Scriptures. To present this study properly, a few things must be addressed before we begin a discussion on the subject of faith and believing. It is vital to understand the immense importance of the Old Testament to New Testament word studies. According to David H. Stern’s translation, The Jewish New Testament, there are 695 verses of the Old Testament quoted from Matthew to Revelation.[2] Those are direct verse quotations (or parts of verses), but there are many more references and hints to Old Testament passages in the New Testament. Roger Nicole, in the The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, [3] stated that some of the quotations and references in the New to the Old Testament could be as high as 4,105: “The New Testament contains an extraordinarily large number of Old Testament quotations. It is difficult to give an accurate figure since the variation in use ranges all the way from a distant allusion to a definite quotation introduced by an explicit formula stating the citation’s source. As a result, the figures given by various authors often reflect a startling discrepancy…. C. H. Toy lists 613 such instances, Wilhelm Dittmar goes as high as 1640, while Eugen Huehn indicates 4105 passages reminiscent of Old Testament Scripture. It can therefore be asserted, without exaggeration that more than 10 per cent of the New Testament text is made up of citations or direct allusions to the Old Testament. The recorded words of Jesus disclose a similar percentage. Certain books like Revelation, Hebrews, Romans are well nigh saturated with Old Testament forms of language, allusions and quotations.”[4] Did you get that? Certain books like Revelation, Hebrews, and Romans are well nigh saturated with Old Testament forms of language, allusions, and quotations. My question is simple. How could we possibly understand books like Romans, Revelation or Hebrews without looking closely at the Old Testament verses quoted and alluded to in them? If we don’t study the Old Testament, especially the sections or verses quoted in the New, we are left with a huge doctrinal and interpretational void. Many have made up new interpretations because they have completely ignored the Hebrew Biblical text. So that we are clear, ignoring the original Hebrew of the Old Testament is not a new problem, but one that has dogged the Church relentlessly for centuries. We will tackle that issue on a basic level in these articles. If so many verses, references, and allusions to the Hebrew Scripture are all over the New Testament, does that make the Old Testament obsolete, or does it grant the Old Testament a place of prominence in the New Testament? Yes, the Old Testament has a highly visible and prominent place in the New Testament. It has a place of honor and respect, and it is indispensible to gain a right doctrinal perspective in the New Testament. Since Paul quoted profusely from the Old Testament Holy Scriptures, should we pay close attention to these quotations? Here’s a verse I quoted above to start our study of faith. Paul cites an Old Testament verse as a proof text for what he was teaching. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:17 NKJV) Paul quoted a part of Habakkuk 2:4 in the second half of Romans 1:17.[5] Where was Paul’s definition of faith coming from? Was it from some special revelation only given to him? No! His definition of faith was from the Old Testament, written centuries before he wrote Romans 1:17. If Paul quoted from an Old Testament verse, then he was relying on its definition and message. More to come!   NOTES: [1] Doctrine is the same Greek word in 2nd Timothy 3:16 and 1st Timothy 6:3.

The confusion lies in the “cause” of such things. Let G-d reveal the source of your problems, so you can be a candidate for healing. You can be healed today! HEALING FROM CONFUSION There is lots of confusion today about sickness and disease … even about natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. The confusion lies in the “cause” of such things. Even the insurance companies try to “opt out” of liability for such things as “natural disasters” which they refer to in their policy exclusions as “acts of G-d.” Even in some synagogues and churches it is being taught that everything that comes your way is G-d's will for you and (in particular) that if you are suffering sickness or disease, G-d is trying to teach you something. However, it is best to let the Word of G-d speak for itself. In the Torah we see in Deuteronomy Chapter 28 that sickness and disease is a curse … NOT a blessing. When Messiah Yeshua was on earth, He said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” In other words, you have seen the Father's nature. If you read the Brit Chadashah (the Jewish New Testament), you will quickly see that Yeshua (Jesus) never made anyone sick. As in the Torah, we see that disobedience CAN cause the curse of sickness and disease. Also, because of Adam's (original) sin in the Garden of Eden, man was separated from G-d. When man was separated from G-d, he was separated from the life source. This is WHY G-d sent His Son to earth, to HEAL the separation between G-d and man. The atonement of Yeshua, G-d's Son, on the cross stake paid for our sins … and purchased our healing (spiritual, mental, and physical) by His BLOOD that was shed. Messiah Yeshua's blood contained the life of G-d. Messiah was born of a virgin, and therefore His blood did NOT contain the sinful blood from Adam's seed line. His blood was the one-time FINAL payment for our sins, and brought us into right standing (or, righteousness) with G-d, whereby we have wholeness when we exercise our faith in Messiah's sacrifice for us. We see from the scriptures how sickness and disease is from the Evil One, and NOT from the Father G-d. Messiah NEVER refused healing to anyone. “How G-d anointed Yeshua (Jesus) of Nazareth who went about doing good, and healing ALL that were oppressed of the devil, for G-d was with Him.” (Brit Chadashah: Acts 10:38) “And Yeshua went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” (Brit Chadashah: Mattiyahu [Matthew] 9:35) Sickness and disease are from the devil. Healing and health are from G-d. Don't be confused about the source(s) of sickness and disease … even about natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, and earthquakes. I'll give you something to help you the rest of your life. Put the devil on the left side and Messiah on the right side with this verse from John 10:10 in the Jewish New Testament. Yeshua said, “The thief (the devil) comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; but I (Messiah) have come that you might have life, and have it more abundantly.” Now you will be able to discern where things have their source; how and why they happen. If you need healing today, or if you need miracles - real miracles - then pray this prayer: “Father in Heaven, I ask you to reveal to me if Yeshua (Jesus) is my Messiah. I need healing; I need a miracle. Please heal me. In Jesus' (Yeshua's) name I pray. Amen.” I know this teaching will help you. Write and let me know what G-d has done for you.

More people are kept from being healed and made whole by unbelief than are those who just do NOT know that healing belongs to them. Healing is a both a right and a privilege. If we know Yeshua the Messiah, then it is our right to be healed. Both the Tanakh (the Jewish Old Testament) and the Brit Chadashah (the Jewish New Testament) tell us that healing is in the Atonement. The Torah (the five Books of Moses) tells us: “For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.” (Leviticus 17:11) The word “atonement” from the Hebrew “kaphar” means “to cover, to cancel, to cleanse, to forgive, to purge away.” Isaiah the prophet, 750 years before Messiah Yeshua came to earth, prophesied:  “Surely he has borne our sicknesses and diseases [Hebrew: choli], and carried away our pains [Hebrew: macob]: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our sin, rebellion, and trespasses [Hebrew: pesha], he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.   All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Tanakh: Isaiah 53:4-6) I have included the original Hebrew root words in the passage because in the English Bible, the sense has been watered down. Why? The translators who translated from Hebrew into English did NOT believe in divine healing; and so did not believe that healing was included in the Atonement.   When Messiah Yeshua was on earth 750 years after Isaiah, he fulfilled this prophecy. In the Brit Chadashah (the Jewish New Testament) we read:  “When the even came, they brought unto him many that were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” (Mattiyahu [Matthew] 8:16-17)  Healing – spiritual, mental, and physical – is included in the Atonement. When Messiah shed His holy sinless BLOOD, it was the one-time final supreme sacrifice: payment for your sins and mine. He was the spotless lamb of G-d who was sacrificed in our place.  Messiah Yeshua took our sins upon himself on the cross stake and healed the separation between G-d and man. Adam, the first man who lived, caused that separation in the Garden of Eden. Adam separated us from G-d. Separation from G-d cuts us off from G-d's life. When we are separated from the life of G-d, the result is spiritual death. Spiritual death produces physical death. G-d sent His Son, Yeshua, to heal the separation and connect us with the life source of G-d so our spirits could be reborn eternally, and our bodies could have healing life available up until it is time for us to leave this earth. By one man [Adam] sin came into the world, and death by sin.  By one man [Messiah] many shall be made righteous (have right standing with G-d).  “For as by the disobedience of one man [Adam] many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Messiah] shall many be made righteous.”  Healing belongs to you! Yeshua has connected you with the life source of G-d. Messiah is your atonement: your covering. If you are NOT sure that G-d sent His Son to earth to pay for your sins, then pray this prayer:  “G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, if Yeshua is really your Son … and if Yeshua is really my Messiah … then reveal Him to me. I ask you to heal me today. Please forgive my sins. I will serve you the rest of my life.”  You're going to have a wonderful future, my friend!  Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.  Your friend, Prince Handley Podcast time: 5 minutes, 00 seconds Copyright 2009 Prince Handley All rights reserved. ________________________________________ Real Miracles ResourcesPrince Handley BooksFree Bible & Rabbinical StudiesFAST READS24/7 Prince Handley Blogs, Podcasts & Teachings _________________________________________  Handley WORLD SERVICES Incorporated Box 1001 Bonsall, California 92003 USA NOTE: Scroll down for ALL previous podcasts.
