Bible Studies Archive RSS Quotes from Jesus and the Land by Gary M Burge, Baker Academic, 2010What the New Testament does not say Perhaps it is helpful to begin by suggesting what views are foreign to the New Testament itself. There is no suggestion, for example, that in some manner Christians may now assume for themselves the land promises given to the patriarchs. Despite the clear New Testament argument that in faith followers of Christ can make a defensible claim to the legacy of Abraham, even to be called the "children of Abraham," still, the promise of that legacy - the land - is never claimed. The New Testament shows no interest in building a Christian Holy Land, no passion for constructing a kingdom in the name of Christ that might be centered at Jerusalem. We hear no calls in the New Testament that would soon become familiar to Byzantine and European armies. This alone is remarkable. The Church was born into a Jewish world saturated with debates about territorial faith, and it chose - deliberately - not to compete as yet one more territorial religion. As we have seen, the impetus for this decision no doubt came from its Lord. The Gospels show us with keen subtlety how Jesus navigated these debates and how he dislodged his own followers from the passions that inflamed territorial movements of his day. Neither is there any interest in the New Testament to look at the Hebrew Scriptures and Judaism and validate their territorial claims. The New Testament community did not share in the growing momentum within the first century to make the Holy Land exclusively Jewish once more. Throughout the entire century including the great war of AD 66 the followers of Jesus separated themselves from Jewish territorialism. To read the Old Testament prophetic promises into that world of Romans and Zealots might well have been seen as fantastic and perhaps naive. If the identity of the true descendants of Abraham was on the table for discussion, then simple calls for Jewish fulfillment and Christian allegiance would have sounded odd. Christian theology asked withering questions about territorial religion, especially of the sort found in Judea.Land and politics in Jesus' world In the volatile climate of first-century politics -among a people living under the harsh realities of the Roman military occupation - we should not expect a public teacher like Jesus to speak explicitly about the land and its rightful owners. To exhibit resistance to Rome is to run up against a skilled army which is watching for signs of subversion. To show cooperation with Rom is to run up against fellow Jews for whom such sympathies are intolerable. In every explosive political context (both today and in antiquity), people with opinions must remain opaque to the many listeners standing in the shadows who are choosing sides.Two initial observations deserve attention. First, Jesus is surprisingly silent with regard to the territorial aspirations and politics of his day. The national ambitions of Judaism under Rome constantly pressed Jewish leadership to respond. Either Judea was capitulating to the occupation or Judea had to organize to defeat it. However, Jesus is oddly silent about the debate. Moreover Jesus is curiosly receptive to contact with the occupiers. In Matthew 8:5-13, he responds to the request of a Roman centurion whose valued servant was ill. Here we find no repulsion of the soldier, no condemnation of Gentiles, but rather we find receptivity and welcome. He says of the Roman: "Not even in Israel have I found such faith" ( 8. 10 ). What emerges is a general impression that Israel's national ambitions tied to reclaiming the land live on the margin of Jesus' thinking.There was a Roman law (now well known) that if a Roman soldier wanted a defeated subject to be his porter, he could demand it. This rule included use of the person's donkey and cart as well. But the law limited this service to one (Roman) mile. Although this provision for forced labor was deeply resented, in Matthew 5.41 Jesus announces that if you are told to go one mile in such a situation, go two miles! And he says more. In 5:44 he commands his followers to love “their enemies” and pray for those who persecute them. There are certain allusions to the Roman occupation that not only deny political resistance but were no doubt inexplicable to Jesus' followers. In a word, Jesus is strangely unsympathetic to attitudes that would demand resistance to Roman and the struggle for the land as religious duties. However, in an important passage, Jesus is tested by those who chose aggressive resistance. Following the removal of the corrupt and violent Archelaus (son of Herod 1) in AD 6, the subsequent political disruption that brought direct Roman rule to the land inspired new forms of Jewish resistance. Instability and reorganization in AD 6 presented an ideal opportunity for this agenda. For many Jews Roman taxation had become a burdensome symbol of Israel's enslavement and it was widely believed that it was the basis of Judea's financial value to the empire. In AD 6, tax revolts sought to lessen this value. Mark 12.13-17 records Jesus confronted by "Pharisees and Herodians" two groups with deep, though different, concerns about the occupation. Their question concerning taxes ("Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" RSV) is not innocent but a veiled, opaque public test. When Jesus inspects a coin, sees Caesar's image, and directs them to "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's," we can fairly interpret this as a refusal to support the tax revolt. Some scholars see this revolt as the beginning of the Zealot movement (Antiquities, 18.1) and this passage as Jesus' explicit denial of their agenda. The kingdom he advocated could not be co-opted by nationalistic movement that sought to win back the land by force.Matthew records an even more direct test. In Matthew 17:24-27 tax collectors ask Jesus' disciples if he “pays the tax.” In this case it is the annual Temple tax - an entirely different matter from the tax revolt against Rom. nevertheless the half-shekel tax was controversial and denied by some (including Qunmran) as an intervention of the Pharises. Jesus acknowledges that such taxes are the prerogative of kings who place these burdens particularly on those who are not their sons. Jesus suggests that sons (of kings) do not pay such taxes but he will pay so as not to bring offense. Jesus then performs a miracle where Simon Peter finds a coin in a fish's mouth and pays up. Once again Jesus does what is required, conforming to those "kings" who would levy taxes. Cooperation is chosen above resistance; compliance is endorsed over refusal.

This week, the women in Alabama were presented with an oppressive law that takes away their ability to choose. Craig, Deb and I are Christians, but we don't believe laws, especially oppressive laws, should be based on one faith. There are many protests and calls for civil disobedience - and my thoughts turn to one man who is no stranger to civil disobedience - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and his speech that talks directly on civil disobedience: But If Not. He delivered the speech on November 5, 1967 - the sermon is about King Nebuchanezzar and his oppressive law, ordering all to worship a gold statue. But three boys: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to do so, even when facing a fiery furnace. Civil Disobedience is a commitment to conscience - to answer to the laws of a God that loves all men and women. And Freedom - including to choose - is the greatest act of love. Also, something to think of: one may say a christian must obey all laws. I would invite you to think of Jesus as a disruptor - one who willingly challenged the Pharises' and their laws and their interpretation of the Bible. If Jesus can challenge the authorities in his day, we as his children have every right to challenge our authorities. This is Dr. King's message to us. I'm sure this episode will draw controversy and debate - and we welcome it. Please post any thoughts or comments on Facebook or Soundcloud and lets engage in serious talk. The word of God should not be used as a weapon against people who want to live free and have every right to be free. The love of God is strong and wide enough to encompass all of us, with all of our differences.

What is Evil? Is it a demon that conjures hateful and destructive thoughts in people to do bad things? Is it what Freud would call the battle between conscience and desire? Is it the wrath of God? Bad things happen to us all the time and we ask why - and is there a daemonic presence that keeps us from enjoying life? Deb is back with us (Craig and I) and we all explore evil from all angles: the psychological, historical, political and from a christian perspective. We use Jesus' words to the Pharises and his disciples regarding what comes out of us - our internal spiritual life - as opposed to what enters us (outside forces). Though we do need to take care of what we take in our spiritual lives, what we put out in the world defines who we are. The question for me is not what is evil, but how strong is my faith to endure the evils of life. As always, let us know what you think and feel on this podcast, via on facebook, Twitter or Instagram (@Reg_Clay) and Deb Carriger (@DLCarriger) and we hope you have a blessed week.

On this episode of Faith, we have the whole gang here (Craig Dickerson and Deb Carriger) and we look into the old and the New Testament: Zechariah 7: 9 and Luke 11: 51 (to be honest, we go all over Luke 11, exploring Jesus casting out the demon and chastising the Pharises over focusing on the superficial (like the washing of hands) over being true to the word. We also talk about current events, like the Good Samaritan James Shaw Jr. stopping the mass shooter from killing more at the Waffle House on 4/22 (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/waffle-house-shooting-tennessee-james-shaw-jr-hero-customer-charged-gunman-2018-04-22/); the truckers who stopped a man from committing suicide (https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/24/us/detroit-truckers-help-suicidal-man-trnd/index.html) and the forced resignation of Father Conroy from being the chaplain of the House of Representatives (https://www.politico.com/story/2018/04/26/house-chaplain-ousted-paul-ryan-556027).

On this weeks episode of Faith, Craig Dickerson and I discuss Matthew 22: 34-40. Here are some bullet points on the show: - First commandment: love God (easy). 2nd Commandment: love thy neighbor (hard) - Sometimes we must limit our emotions to effectively help others - Analogy of the heavy curtain (God's Word) and the weak wall (our acceptance of the word) - The lessons we learn from our parents or grandparents may be simple but it's our foundation. If we stray too far, we lose our foundation and our identity. - Others will try to provoke you (like the Pharises). Don't let them. - The ONLY way to love God is to love your neighbor, even those you don't want to be around

Craig and I talk on Matthew 23:1-14 - The Parable of the Wedding. Many will be invited but few will be chosen. Jesus once again challenges the Pharises. But he also challenges us – some will serve him and others won't, despite still coming to the wedding. Is that us? Are we collecting the gifts of God without giving back? Craig and I talk about pros and cons of obedience, contrasting that with being subservient and assimilation. When do you give up your freedom and when do you serve? Has God earned your respect for him? If so, have you earned your respect for God?

On today's episode, Craig and I talk about the Pharises' confrontation of Jesus Christ in Matthew 21: 23-32, where they ask what authority does Jesus have to claim to be the Son of God? From there, Craig and I delve into authentication, authority - who gets to ask, how do we authenticate ourselves, what questions do we ask others and from what perspective do we ask - are we being humble or pious in our questions? We also talk heavily (we didn't plan this) on the NFL players protest and the NFL owners' response. It's an interesting listen and we'd love your feedback.

Pastor Mark Hill asks us, "What does worship mean?" What does it look like? We sing, pray, hear some teaching. It's time to review what we are doing here. Jesus addressed worship three times in the bible. Once with satan, once with the Pharises and also in John 4... looking for the spiritual worship and the head/mind truth worship. Worship is not just getting up and going to church and doing rituals. It is about building a culture/an environment where we it is an exercise of the Spirit and the renewing and training of the mind that we build into our lifestyle. It is an integrated opportunity: Information, Inspiration and Application. Where are we on our spiritual journey? If we are more advanced, we can disciple those needing to move up the trail.
