the jewish jesus versus the gentile jesus
The Historical Son of Man
After a tumultuous 1300 year history of the Jewish people failing the Torah, the "Jewish Jesus" appeared on the scene to warn the Jews of the impending disaster that had been prophesied regarding the destruction of the Temple that will occur in 70 CE. The "Jewish Jesus" tried in vain to guide the Jews into returning to Hashem and the Torah and warned them of the consequence for not doing so. ADONAI had always used righteous men to warn the Jews to return to the Torah. The historical record demonstrates the cause and effect used by Hashem in regards to disciplining the Jews. First there were the people groups that the Hebrews failed to expel from the Promised Land. Followed by the Assyrians dispersing the ten northern tribes, Babylon destroying the Temple and exiling the Jews, the Greeks and the Seleucids invading and finally the Romans. All these were judgments that ADOANI had spoken of in the Wilderness at Mount Horeb knowing that the Jews were going to forsake Him and behave just like the Gentile nations.
Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat the flesh. For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. But this command I gave them: ‘Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be my people. And walk in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.’ But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. From the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have persistently sent all my servants the prophets to them, day after day. Yet they did not listen to me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers."
The "Jewish Jesus"
The "Jewish Jesus" specifically addressed his message to the Jewish people and not the Gentiles. He referred to the Torah and the prophets. He was born of Jewish ancestry and followed Jewish customs and practices. The Jewish population in general refused to listen to the warnings regarding the judgment Hashem that He had warned them about. Upon the death of the "Jewish Jesus", ADONAI stripped the Jewish people of any and all priestly and political authority. Hashem had stated in Deuteronomy that the Jewish people would remain in exile in foreign lands until the world bears down on Israel once again in the latter days. The Jewish people at that point would cry out to Hashem as they did in Egypt and ADONAI would deliver them and cause the Son of Man to rule over the Jewish people for a thousand years until the
Olam Haba (the world to come).
" For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never
enter the kingdom of heaven."
"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations."
The "Gentile Jesus"
The "Gentile Jesus" is an ever morphing persona of a historical figure that predominantly is created through verse selection and the human imagination. In essence, Christianity was birthed of the Roman theologian mindset with the "Gentile Jesus" essentially being anything the believer wants him to be. This is the definition of idolatry from the Creator's perspective. Religions have amassed numerous "deities" that are viewed as providing humans their desires that they crave the most: wealth, health, prosperity, love, children, stability and more. The one that seems to top the list regards the afterlife. There, the believer of any faith will experience everlasting bliss. Christians specifically, have convinced themselves that if they connect a few verses they are automatically going to heaven.
"For God so loved the world..."
"I can do all things through Christ..."
"I am the way..."
"Ask and it will be given..."
Christians fail to take to heart that the Creator has never changed His expectations of humans
which are found in the Torah.
And ADONAI stated...
“All these curses shall come upon you and pursue you and overtake you till you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commandments and his statutes that he commanded you."
