Joh 10:24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, Joh 10:26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Joh 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Dr. Tabor, that was a fantastic video, and I greatly appreciate the very fair way you treated not just Paul but the entire concept of "who is a Jew", which as you pointed out is a very complex problem and not easily solved. Paul describes the "faith of Abraham" as being an entry point, which in other New Testament letters is linked to "works of righteousness"--if you have true faith, you will do the works of righteousness. The relationship between faith and works is interesting, because acts of righteousness do not require that one believe in a deity or belong to a religion. However, faith implies a belief in something, or someone. It is this "faith IN..." that can create divisions and us-vs-them mentalities, while a focus on having a pure heart can be embraced by everyone. Thank you so much for posting this video, I was so disappointed when it ended since it seemed like there was more!
It can also tie into the controversy of keeping slaves ....how one can be of the seed of faith of Abraham which means the slave laws would apply to those people as well..
@@TheMorning_Son not sure what you mean, please explain. Do you mean that since Abraham owned slaves that the seed of Abraham are considered slave owners as well?
Its not actually a complex problem at all. The only reason it is "complex" is because most people are ignorant and many people misuse terms and mix things up so much so that nobody can understand and have a clear and proper definition for anything. If you forget about the term "Jevv" and instead look at 2 much more well defined things instead - who is ethnically Hebrew-Canaanite (the Israelites were a sub-group of that ethnos, which icluded other groups such as the Moabites, Amonites, Edomites), and who is religiously Jevvish? (and of course if you really want to be accurate, you need to break Jevvish down to which sect of Judaism, because in the 2nd temple period you had plenty. Today you have mostly various Phariseeic-Rabbinic sects but also Qaraites as well). Also, Tabor demonstrated alot of ignorance regarding ethnicity and genetics in this talk. Woody Allen and most "Ashkenaz Jevvs" in general are ethnically alot closer to Jevvs from 2000 years ago than he might think due to his ignorance on the topic. Genetic studies proved this many times. You can also just take a look at the Samaritan Priests who are very much ethnically Israelites and see with your own eyes. And regarding Jevvs from Pan-Arabaist countries (notice I don't use the nonsensical terminology "Arab countries"), such as Sephardic and Mizrahi Jevvs, they are also proven to be ethnically Hebrew-Canaanite with diaspora admixture.
Great subject! But I think your presentation is compromised by the implicit assumption that Judaism is a fixed pole in its relationship with the emerging Christian movement. Especially after the destruction of the temple, Judaism was forced to undergo a major reconceptualization of itself, away from a temple / sacrifice / priesthood based religion with a diverse array of schools of thought and into what became rabbinic Judaism. *Both* poles were moving, Judaism *and* Christianity; and it seems a fair question to ask in what ways Judaism's revised understanding of itself reflects a reaction to the Christian movement.
Christianity is not a new religion. It is the continuation of Biblical Judaism which is not the same as rabbinic Judaism which was made by the rabbis in the first century to keep the Jewish people from knowing their Messiah Yeshua. Golan Brochi, from One 4 Israel ministry has great videos on this.
Also to note, Jesus until he was crucified explicitly mentioned he came for Jews, but post resurrection as 'narrated' by the Gospels(could be made up) extended the salvation to entire world!!!

This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction "
Actually, I am very interested in the RigVeda, YenkammaNe. which book or study to I read first? I am very interested in Hinduism, as it does seem more realistic than the bible junk. I believe there are other gods, plural.
A good part of this discussion and misunderstanding comes from the Church selling their followers this fantasy of one "Bible" that is composed of both the "Old" testament and the "New" testament as one unit and that supposedly the "old" is now useless. That, coupled with the utter ignorance of Judaism in the Christian community, which makes them unable to recognize all the clear signs of Jesus' Judaism
Great lecture Dr. Tabor! Could you please address a further point to further complicate things, namely that the term "Jew" was originally a tribal specific designation associated with the tribe of Ju-dah. So while Jews comprised 1/12 of corporate Israel, not all Israel were "Jews"! Then further elaborate on the division of the House of Israel from the House of Judah where the apostate House of Israel were then considered "Goyim" or Gentiles (anyone outside the parameters of the Covenant). And then further elaborate on the many prophesies dealing with the regathering of the scattered 10 Northern tribes and how Yeshua claimed to be sent "only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel" and with Paul's mission to the "Gentiles". But first define "Gentiles" as while the 10 tribes were considered "Gentiles" by the House of Judah, not ALL Gentiles were descendants of the 10 tribes!!! Also, you have James writing to the 12 tribes scattered abroad, as well as Peter in his epistles where he seems to be focused on the Northern tribes of Israel... I should add for the sake of confusion the fact that the Greek word for church is NOT ekklesia like everyone says it is! It's Kuriakos, a word that never refers to people and is not in my Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words! Yet ekklesia is used about 100x in the Septuagint in reference to Israel. So when we come to the NT and find the same word "ekklesia" being used in reference to the same people what are we to think!?! The concept of another entity falsely called "the Church" (i.e. Christianity) is foreign to Scripture! Anyway, looking forward to your new book! Shalom!
@@terencechambers7479 That's correct Terence! The only point I would like to clarify is that the "congregation" (i.e. ekklesia) is the SAME group of people, Israel! While Paul clarifies in Rom.9-11 that "not all Israel is Israel" and that SOME, not all, of the natural branches had been "cut off" because of unbelief there has always been a righteous remnant, the true natural branch that has remained to which the "unnatural branches" (i.e. Gentiles: ANYONE outside of the "covenants of promise", Eph.2) are to be grafted into. Into the "Israel of God" (Gal.6:16)!
Great lecture (as usual) Dr. Tabor! I really appreciate your relaxed though reasoned, measured and precise style. I'm no expert on this area of history but I have an observation which I am sure is probably elemental to those like yourself who are. Is it demonstrably correct to say that during and after the Jewish rebellions of A.D.66 -70 and Bar Kokhba A.D. 132 - 136 the tendency of early Christians to distance themselves from Jews was accelerated? Or was this process well underway by then?
It's interesting that you say that Abraham didn't believe in Christ and I am with you on that 100% but many Pentecostals and neo-evangelicals are taught that Abraham did believe in Christ and not just "Christ" as in a messiah but as in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God. I've heard this in several different churches. Very odd because you don't see that when reading Genesis. That has to be forced in later.
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 - Right but we don't have any scriptural evidence that Abraham understood him to be Jesus of Nazareth. Abraham lived before a lot of Christ's importance was taught to us. It wasn't until Moses that we would receive the Law and understand the significance of all the things that would be the fulfillment of Christ's advent. I mean, think about it. Did Abraham know the story of Adam and Eve? Maybe but until Moses wrote it down, we don't have any real hard and fast teaching in the post Flood world.
@@GizmoFromPizmo Abraham would know of Adam and Eve, although it may not have been the biblical version. As all civilizations had the counterfeit mother son imagery The very fact that Abraham recognized Malki- Tzadok and acknowledged His superiority over the priesthood which would come though his loins, shows he knew a lot more than people around him: Although i agree that we have it more clear than the people before the cross
The early believers that Jesus was Lord were kicked out of the temple and the synagogues, were ostracized by their families and beaten in the marketplaces. That is when the separation began. Jewish believers often held onto the traditions in order to evangelize within their own people, but they were considered separate and anathema.
Correction @ 3:45 ish - "Turned to idols to serve the true and living God," is actually - "turned from idols" so as not to confuse some. Otherwise thank you, you're very much appreciated. We know what you meant
The New Testament clearly teaches the "the last days" had already arrived. The Book of Hebrews says, "Hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by His Son..." Peter quotes Joel who said, "And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh". The idea that it's pointing to some future time has to be read into the scriptures. The Last Days started 2,000 years ago. Jesus is the Prince of peace and the period of global peace is upon us. There are no nations, which are ruled by God fighting wars with each other. World peace is here, if we want it. God is not our problem. Do you want to be at peace? Then allow God to rule over you.
The last days in their time was the "end of the age" not the end of the world. Their age ended when the temple was destroyed. The current age is almost over through, and God shall return although not how you expect Him to
Your generosity, James Tabor, is legendary. I just love listening to your lectures. Something that keeps coming up when this subject is discussed is the anglicized "Jehovah" or quasi-Hebrew "Yaweh", both of which are renderings of Tetragrammaton which according to a lot of old Hebrew texts I've read has been said to be the the unpronounceable name of god. Years ago, being the somewhat obsessive-to-a-fault armchair religious synchretist/historian, I began to look into possible meanings of the four Hebrew letters that make Tetragrammaton what it is. I struck out over and over again until I began to approach the Kabbalah. This all began to take place a few decades ago and in the years between then and now, I've wandered down some roads that really have grown quite esoteric and have come out into some pretty surrealistic clearings within the thick forest of letters looming high about me in all directions. One of my favorite is a definition that applies a familial role to each of the letters of Tetragrammaton - Yod being the father, heh the mother, vau the son and the final heh being the daughter who then becomes the mother, thus altogether representing an eternal generation and regeneration of all things. Then having studied a little further into it all, I find plenty of evidence to support the Hebrey Bible being a back-translation of the Greek Pentateuch and Septuagint. This sent me down a rabbit hole in search of the Greek word that might have been back-translated as YHVH. The results are numerous, but overall, they all unsurprisingly seem to refer to a figure of great authority. Then there's the curiosity that I can't shake no matter how many times I read the refutations of various thinkers and scholars all of whom are probably thousands of times smarter than I am, and that is the fact that Jeheshua, a possible spelling of the Latin/Anglicized Jesus, could be spelled YHShVH - basically Tetragrammaton with a shin slotted into the center, a letter with Kabbalistic connotations of "change" and "fire". I'm not saying I've put a whole lot of stock into the whole thing. It just interested me to an enormous extent. And I suppose that the most fascinating aspect of the whole thing for me is the fact that it's so comfortable and acceptable for modern Christians to use Tetragrammaton, this unpronouncable name of God, in such a bastardized way, given, of course, that the initial "unpronouncable name" thing was all nonsense to begin with. Anyway, that's a very long comment, and I appreciate that you're probably a busy man with more interesting things to pursue. But that you are knowledgeable when it comes to this topic is incontrovertible. If you, or any of your subscribers with some insight into this matter were to get back to me with some kind of explanation that grants me some clarity on the matter, I would consider myself forever in your debt. Buddhism is awesome! I've spent a whole lot of time studying Buddhist writings, too, and have yet to find something therein that contradicts anything else therein. And even if I ever did, I'd quickly find myself capable of dismissing it as just another absurdity the contemplation of which might, even if only for a moment, one day lead my selfish yet striving ass to samadhi. What a splendidly, seemingly incorruptible philosophy for life and potential mode of escape from this confining cycle of samsara.
Your so right about Christ, he brings it all together. Your statement about the Jews is absolutely correct. Truly loved this video. Now I know I am not the only one who believes in the same idea. Thank You!!!
I've come to the opinion that Christianity is basically a philosophy based on verses taken out of their historical and cultural context primarily from Paul's writings.
It's an exploitive social system that's been spread worldwide via nefarious schemes that exploitive regimes use to help enrich them by plundering resources that aren't theirs to exploit. They only use a god to lend some credence to their nefarious desires.
Joh 8:56 “Your father Aḇraham was glad that he should see My day, and he saw it and did rejoice.” (TS2009). Abraham did accept/approve Messiah. The Christianity of Paul's time is the "faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3 WEB) and very well could be described as Yeshua Judaism. The "Christianity" of today which culminated in fourth century Roman Catholicism is counterfeit and is actually "Mystery Babylon" of Rev. 17 and 18 that believers in Messiah are called to "come out of".
If one beliefs in YHVH, one should not forget, that YHVH is not subject to time, past, present or future, He Is , is His name, resulting to me that He is continuealy maintaining His Creation. HE is the very moment we are living in wright now. This view matches facts as His unchangeable character, seeing all, knowing all, and standards to enter in His Kingdom. Therefore no change in His creation is even possible, we the people make the changes, by our beliefs or so called understanding. YHVH said, because of My Name I ....... Mozes understood this as he reminded Him on the Mountain while pleaing for His People, and promise to Abraham. Everything YHVH utters becomes eternal instantly, ..... until He silences.
Very interesting and compelling topic! Judaism and Christianity are religions (man-made) indeed; they are not the same as the faith, The Way of YHVH! Judaism is a man-made religion by the rabbis during and after Babylonian captivity. Christianity is also a man-made religion by the Romans in part bc of antisemitism (w/ plenty of Greek influence). From the beginning, there has been only One Faith, The Way of YHVH. The formula has also been the same - grace faith obedience, in that order. Grace comes from YHVH, Faith comes through Yeshua, and Obedience is by the Ruach (Holy Spirit). The people of this faith are called Israel. This is not to be confused with the house of Israel (northern kingdom), or the modern nation of Israel (which is really the house of Judah) controlling the Land. Do NOT confuse Judaism with the faith, or Christianity with the faith. They are man-made traditions that are both full of syncretism. Judaism with rabbinic oral laws of their own creation via Babylonian influence (consider the calendar months, etc.) and Christianity with pagan Greek/Roman god-influence. Judaism has added to the commandments and made them difficult, while Christianity has taken away from the commandments by claiming the Law (Torah) ended with the cross. Both are Biblical error, violating Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32. Judaism continues to place rabbinic oral laws over The Law, and Christianity continues to practice its own traditions (Easter, Christmas, Sunday worship, no Sabbath rest). Come out of her My people. Yeshua was Jewish (from the tribe of Judah) but practiced the faith, The Way of YHVH, NOT Judaism. This is clear by His handling of the Pharisees and priests of Judaism. He attacked them and their practices at every turn. Mark 7 is a good example. They eventually killed Him over His differences with them and Judaism.
Why wouldn't Paul have gone to hear Jesus? They were contemporaries. Paul was sort of inner circle in Jerusalem and would have been there for three pilgrimage feasts a year when Jesus was. How did Paul miss the entry into Jerusalem, the crowd's sudden turn a couple of days later for Barabbas, the ghosts wandering the streets? How did curiosity about this guy who had turned the Sanhedrin on its head NOT intrigue Paul? And wouldn't some eye-witness nuggets in his letters solidify his position in the new church? The answer to these questions is that Paul is an embroidered literary device, too. ANY time you have a bunch of people grouping up, you're going to have WOLVES come in--that much they got right. But the reason is that people are power and more people are more power. We see this ALL the time in groups of master gardeners to little ol' ladies sewing blankets for the homeless. One or two people who are sociopaths come in and railroad the group to THEIR ends, not the group's.
From a Muslim side. Its very interesting to observe that in Genesis, ALLAH has often given the blessing to Abraham's children rather than Isaac alone as Jews and Christians Claim.... This is very much parallel with the Quranic's narrative of bringing back Ishmael to the blessing as he was excommunicated by his cousins(Isaac's descendants).
In the book of Jasher Isaac cried when his brother Ishmael died. They were very close bonded. It's Sarah and Hagar that faught with each other not the brothers. Also in Abraham Ishmael and Isaac descendants until today are bonded by blood. Unfortunately they have still not realized it's the two mother's that are still in spirit keeping them apart. I have seen Jews and Muslims stand together IN LOVE against animal cruelty. They have realized their fight is not against each other their fight is to stand up as one against lovelessness, cruelty, jealousy. Once they realized that they unite against the true "invisible" enemy that is causing division among them they have conquered the "real" enemy
Although Ishmael is blessed beyond measure, The Promised child is Isaac as Ishmael is the child of the flesh. and that’s why the covenant was repeated with Isaac and then Jacob again
As always, fantastic. Growing up evangelical, I was taught what Paul and Jesus was said to have said. Then I’d actually read Paul and the Gospels and found I couldn’t make heads or tails of half of it. I’d read Romans and basically have no idea what I’d read half the time, except for the ethical guidance. However, Jesus and Paul by Dr Tabor brought tremendous clarity and made a lot of mystifying things clear, or if that was not possible, clarified what the interpretive issues were. What a great book and gift to anyone who is trying to figure out what these ancient writers are trying to say, not what we want them to say.
When Jesus died, did his soul go up to Heaven ? And then come back down, three days and three nights later ? Then go back up to Heaven again when he died the second time ?
There is a semetic version of tree worship of Asherah she is represented as a pole or a tree near Cananite religious locations to honour the Urgaratic mother goddess, Asherah consort of ELI. And its said that the Israelites imported elements of Asherah poles from the Cananiites.
Christianity started officially in A D 313 when an edict of Milan was proclaimed by the Roman government and 27 books written in Greek were supplied to use to replace all books and gospels at that time.
When a fascist state, Rome, adopted it as there spiritual arm to screw over the population, they refined a model to allow a exploitive regimes to have a "spiritual arm" that was tasked with destroying indigenous cultures that needed to be either destroyed or domesticated so they could be used to further enrich the exploitive state, it's a total scam.
@@lutkedog1 I said Christianity as we know it today, before the destruction of the temple you still had Christians that made sacrifices at the temple and some that kept Jewish law, that all changed after the destruction of the temple, which is when I would say what we know as Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism today both started.
Actually in Classically Christianity The Liturgy that we called The Liturgy of the Catechumen’s. Is very similar to Jewish Temple Service. Remember Judaism after the Temple destruction changed from a sacrificial religion.
In 96CE Nerva gave the gentile Christians a "divorce" from the Jews and Jewish "Christians" (if one can even assert such a name as a descriptor). So, the separation had to have begun even before the second century.
No one ever talks about Abraham's second wife Keturah and the sons that they had together, mentioned in Genesis 25.. Why not? JESUS and Paul called HIS followers the Elect mentioned in Matthew 24:22,,31and Romans 8:33. What is the difference between GOD'S Elect and Christians. Please explain. Thank you.
Judah’s sons were killed , destroying his lineage and seed . After he sells his brother into slavery . Surviving him is his daughters , the lineage of Judah was passed by the women . Is this why they use the mother being Jewish as the distinguishing factor ?

Your premise is wrong, that Judaism is a religion. It is not. It is a Tribal culture. The question of who is a Jew is who is a member in good standing, who has a “citizenship card”. If an American citizen moves to France, they still have an American citizenship.

Here is the post I made which briefly answer this "problem": Woody Allen and most "Ashkenaz Jevvs" in general are ethnically alot closer to Jevvs from 2000 years ago than you might think. Genetic studies proved this many times. You can also just take a look at the Samaritans and see with your own eyes. And regarding Jevvs from Pan-Arabaist countries (notice I don't use the nonsensical terminology "Arab countries"), such as Sephardic and Mizrahi Jevvs, they are also proven to be ethnically Hebrew-Canaanite with diaspora admixture. Now, regarding who is a "Jevv", since the term has been misused and misunderstood by pretty much everyone due to various historical reasons, you should forget about that term and instead examine who is an ethnically a Hebrew-Canaanite (the Israelites were a sub-group of that ethnos, which icluded other groups such as the Moabites, Amonites, Edomites), and who is religiously Jevvish? (and of course if you really want to be accurate, you need to break Jevvish down to which sect of Judaism, because in the 2nd temple period you had plenty. Today you have mostly various Phariseeic-Rabbinic sects but also Qaraites as well)."
I Like what he arrives at in terms of the decision of a change but what he’s missing is that the living Christ was there in the beginning and is there me and he is the alpha and the omega he quoted Deuteronomy even to Lucifer when you stepped in the desert and he often spoke of Abraham and Abraham‘s children so the key point is that Christ fulfilled the law he didn’t change the way he fulfilled the law and there is a change through it
They are all just labels that can never adequately describe any single individual and have different meanings at different time periods and different locations.
I think church of Christ folks understand that Jesus could not have been a Christian during His ministry - not in the Christian sense of the word. A Christian is a New Testament person and Jesus, during His ministry, lived under the Law. Church of Christ folks are taught from early on to see the thick black line drawn between the Old Covenant and the New, as explained in the Book of Hebrews. I'm not sure that any other denomination actually teaches or even believes that.
God = Life "I am come that you might have Life and have it more abundantly." By definition there can be only one all-inclusive Absolute Being (Life) in which all relative beings live, move and have their Being. We are all It (Life at Larege) to an unknowable/inexhaustible extent, as the facets of a Diamond are 'both' distinct from each other 'and' the Diamond itself. Love is the recognition of our shared Being.
My only and largest lament is how he interchangeably uses the term "Jews" to try to define Paul and Abraham and their countryman> Paul was not a "Jew" he weas a "Hebrew" and "Benjamite" not of the tribe of Judah. Abraham was a Hebrew And the "father" of thr tribes through his grandson. There were 12 tribes and Judah was only one of those. It DOES make a difference!!

Also later in scripture it is written that in the begining the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. In the same chapter It also says that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The Word being Jesus. Look it up on Bible Gateway if you believe I'm Just making this up.
I'm late to the party but maybe someone will read this. Maybe someone will see what I think is self evident. Christianity should not have ever been a religion. Yeah I said it. Yeshua ( that is Jesus real name ) did not want a reformed Judaism. His Way was not to be codified and boiled down to do's and Don'ts. The Commandments were still there in their entirety but summed into a simple Unified Commandment. Love the the Father with all your heart , soul and strength and love one another as yourself. The Way was not a religion. It was a way of life. The message is crippled by religiosity. Yeshua fought strongly against "religion". He wanted relationship. With God, our Creator and with one another through Him.. A God centered community where everyone builds each other up and encourages one another to seek God first. The Spirit was to be the glue. But the Institutional Church made that something only the Apostles had access to. The Way without the unfettered access of the Spirit is not The Way. It is a imitation in the guise of a religion. God doesn't want religion. Religion confines and codifies to exert control by a few people over many people. Yeshua through the Holy Spirit was to be the only authority. Peter says we are all priests. I cannot tell you what your walk with God is supposed to be. We can uplift and encourage one another to seek that walk but the moment we say what someone can or cannot do we limit the Spirit. God refuses to be put in a box. That is what religion does. The Scribes and Pharisees tried to tell Yeshua what he was not. He rebuked them at every turn. Cast off religion and seek the Holy Spirit in your life. You will know the Spirit by the fruit it bears in your life. We will sin and we are to ask for forgiveness to clear away the barriers we place around ourselves. This is why no one can enter heavens with sin. We will fry to a crisp in the Holiness of God. He does not sentence us... we condemn ourselves. Our actions, our sin is a barrier to the unfettered access of the Spirit. Without the Spirit the Presence of God is too much only the gift of salvation and the gift of the Spirit living in us (born again) allows us to see God. Please let go of ego and pride and entrapment of religion. Seek Yeshua... open yourself to the Spirit and you will be led where you should go.
So much understanding and understood by yourself you are one of those sent probably, put your comments out there ,as long as there not contrived,,but from the heart dont stop I believe.
I'm not a Chrisitan. I was raised in a Christian family. This line of Christians being vaguely surprised, with inferences of discomfort, in the "news" that Jesus was a Jew, is a bit, in my limited view, undeserved, and it doesn't do our desire to have our Christian friends re-examine their beliefs any favors. It really makes us look sophomoric and spiteful.
@@Find-Your-Bliss- In the late 1970's people in my congregation when I was a kid literally had bumper stickers that said, "My Father is a Jewish Carpenter" Ya, they know Jesus is a Jew. Oh, wait, did you mean atheists are in fact sophomoric and spiteful? Sure, some are.
One of the central messages of Jesus in the Gospels is that the Jews he was confronted by did not properly understand Judaism itself. Jesus presents himself as the revelation of true Judaism. Jesus was a Jew who revealed and fulfilled Judaism. The religion of Jesus is called Christianity because most people who identify as Jewish reject Jesus as the revelation of the will of Yahweh. But Jesus was clear that most Jews don't understand Judaism, or the will of Yahweh.
@@MinisterRedPill That's right. The apocalyptic Judaism of Jesus became almost lost somewhere in the historical shadows between "Judaism" and "Christianity".
@@k.arlanebel6732 a shame that most of this is rhetoric. Nonsensical diatribes of protestantism. So many people today think they know what Jesus thought or taught through a dark window.

You know., PASTORS in training are actually TAUGHT these things in Seminary or high levels of bible colleges. So, how come they don't tell their parishioners, and how come they don't realize that most bible scholars technically prove that the bible is not infallible, inspired word of god and accurate??
ref. 3:37. Actually not true. IN PRACTICE, ancient Israel during Isaiah's and Jeremiah's time were NOT worshiping just one god. they had fallen and had groves and many idols and were following after Babylonian gods and later, no god at all. Thats according to the writings of the later prophets (or why were they sent at all, by "God" to speak to Israel? )
How about James &Jude Jesus Brothers ? I've seen clips of that James actually formed the 1st new Jerusalem church , & Paul &his apostles we're competitively trying to win over followers , & while James was n a stadium preaching ,Paul came up and shoved James down the stone staircases & broke James back ,arm and leg I believe , ?

There is freedom and joy in the innocence of childhood. In eternal life, i believe we can look forward to that innocence. We should remember that Adam was not created an animal. Generally, any "driving force" in man did not come from God. If my son were to make such a statement about God "knowing" Abraham, i would slap his face...but still love him. Jesus sounded pretty forceful with "Ye do err."
14:40.... he will keep the way of Sydke??? ?(Melchezedeck)....Eshmum the "healer God" of the Essenes who incidently was the communal religious group of Nasenes or Nazarenes thus why he was known as Jesus of Nazareth...many of their rituals and beliefs you can see played out from John being in the wilderness BAPTIZING as well as to WHY Jesus told the young ruler to "sell all that you have "
Maybe Jesus, his disciples, Paul ... AND the nascent network of bishops who, in combination with excellent Roman roads and shipping, disseminated the religion throughout the Empire. Christianity moved along the roads and shipping lanes, along with letters of church fathers and "shepherds"/bishops. The process, of course, took a while.
The covenant with Abraham is of faith, the covenant with Moses is of sin, and run alongside one another. The religion of Christ is of Abrahamic Jews, with the Mosaic Jews who can now repent and be forgiven past sins to be born again.
Hi James! Found your talk very informative. You said at one point that Abraham did not know the Messiah (Christ) but the Scriptures say he did. Abraham knew אלשדי AL'SHaDaY, the Almighty (the LORD). Isaiah 44:6, ...I am the First and I am the Last. Revelation 2:8, ...the First and the Last who became Dead and came to Life. The Title 'the First and the Last' identifies Him as the same Being, the Son. The 'First' is the Holy Spirit Son, the 'Last' is the Holy Spirit Son manifest in the Flesh as the 'Son of Man'. Matthew 24:29-31, ...the Son of Man coming on the clouds with power and great glory. In Revelation 11:17-18 'Lord God Almighty' in Hebrew would be, יהוה אלשדי YaHUaH AL'SHaDaY. From Genesis to Revelation, the God who has revealed Himself to Man is the Holy Spirit Son. The Holy Spirit Father, Our Father, has never been seen by Man, His Son has revealed Him to the World. They are the יהוה אלהים YaHUaH ALaHaYM of the House of YaHUaH, they both bear the same Name. Revelation 14:1, ...having His Name and the Name of His Father written on their foreheads. Hope you find this as exciting as I do? May you be Blessed.
"The Vishnu Purana also explains that, "When the practices taught in the Vedas and institutes of law have nearly ceased, and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of His own spiritual nature, and who is the beginning and end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon earth. He will be born in the family of Vishnuyasha, an eminent brahmana of Shambhala village, as Kalki, endowed with eight superhuman faculties. By His irresistible might he will destroy all the mlecchas (Barbarians) and thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will reestablish righteousness upon earth, and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as clear as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who will follow the laws of the Krita age or Satya Yuga, the age of purity. As it is said, 'When the sun and moon, and the lunar asterism Tishya, and the planet Jupiter, are in one mansion, the Krita age shall return.'" (Book Four, Chapter 24)

A Jew is one who is in covenant with HaShem, and Keeps Torah. Yeshua certainly didn’t come to abolish the Torah, and I submit the the Roman Church has certainly gotten off the path.
I think Paul did not start a new religion, but he did understand that the old one was being amended. The things that are amended as a result of the Messiah are: the form of circumcision, the Priesthood, the sacrifice and the Kingship. Paul did not want us to come under the old covenant because we would not receive the benefits of the amended covenant. I go into great detail about this in my book Knowing Yehovah, The Law is the Key to His Heart.
How can you possibly know what was on Paul's mind??? Or his true motivation and intention.....??? This is the sort of Hubris driven assumption, made by preachers all the time that I find very disingenuous and disturbing.. Especially when they never keep their speculative thoughts to themselves but instead forcefully push it on the masses while simultaneously fleecing their pockets!!!

IT started 13th March 321AD, when the pagan Emperor Constantine changed Almighty Gods Holy Sabbath day 7th day, to the 1st day of the week Sunday, the worship of the Sun God, and the bishops of Rome followed this up in AD 338, giving it the title the Lords day. NO where in Holy scripture is this day venerated in any way, At the end times this day will be used for false worship and the worship of the BEAST as spoken off in the Book of Revelation.

No wonder their churches are empty. IF ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF, DOES NOT RULE THE CHURCH, Then she is empty. Winifred Thompson. Northern Ireland.
It's interesting how seductive and enticing intellectual forays into scripture and 'knowledge' can be. The simple embarrassing truth is that what Paul KNEW and what Jesus IS has and will always be missed by the intellect. The Gospel and the epistles are authored by humans who have been transformed in a way intellect can NEVER grasp. It can talk about it for centuries and fill libraries but it can never ever know it because it is ONLY known by faith. Once that (by the grace of God) happens, it's a NEW GAME. Who Jesus is and all of it falls into place as that is the nature of the WORD.
The angels(messengers/watchers,) of Yahweh found the daughters of men alluring and took them for wives. I believe Yaweh is speaking of the levite priesthood they were never a tribe but were to serve all the Nations, as go between with Yahweh.
@@zamiel3 well for starters folks get the word mountain confused with the word city when it says they were in the mountain of Yahweh, and only the men from the levite were allowed into His innermost sanctum. Other indicators from strongs Hebrew concordance point to that summation.

From the moment Our Lord Ascended and ever since the evil one has been doing he s work. This is why we are at this point in time today. Many truths have been hidden from us by those who know for their own evil agenda.
This comment is a great example of the separation of the new cult of Jesus from the worship of Hashem alone. Observe the dualism the christian cult promotes; an “evil one” vs Isaiah 45:7 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things. Look at the mystery cult, the gnostic “hidden truth” vs Deuteronomy 30:11-14 11For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heavend to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’ 13And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the seae to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’ 14But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it. Very different. The Christians clearly created a different religion. I think the Jesus, a nice Jewish boy who taught adherence to the teachings of the establishment Jewish leaders, would be appalled at what they did. The paganization of Christianity by the church is fascinating.
hello brother and sister we muslim meet ramadhan this month i hope god bless the world to become more peaceful place and help those who suffer, i just want to tell some information and fact about quran and bible, this is a friendly reminder the quran multiple times correcting the bible in many cases first in exodus the bible stated people in exodus could be 2 or 3 million, historian put some estimation that in ancient egypt the population could be around 5 million , so the exodus to be that many is impossible not just that based on scholars observation there would be a problem with logistic and the line of people that way too long and the collapse of egyptian economy also pharaoh chase the jew only with 600 chariots and that too many people would not perfectly fit the historical proof, all christian channel and scholars taht regard this issue seriously excuses taht its only thousand not million because the word eleph in 600 eleph doesnt mean thousand but clan so instead 600 eleph as thousand plus woman and childern they make it clan to fit the historical result and proof but the census that moses did and tax resulting in 600 thousand shekels stuff, that when you read the narrative the result of the tax only compatible wehn the israelite is above million so its true that bible said its up to million It is the silver that is directly connected with the census of Num 1:1-46. The fact that 100 talents plus 1,775 shekels exactly equals 603,550 bekas utterly refutes those who try to make "eleph" mean clans, not the number 1000. to render to the small number in bible its require scribal error in the total resulting number among many hereditary scribal error in jewish torah but the quran said its only small number and the bible said the ruler in joseph time called pharaoh but more accurately is quran because the term pharaoh only used in new kingdom not previous period of egypt the quran stated that the ruler in joseph time didnt called as pharaoh the quran simply stated it as king the quran also know the name moses means newborn and the pharaoh family member name him egyptian name not hebrew name and the quran is preserved orally by memorization also have fixed text unlike new testament that written in greek and can be pharaphrased if scholars said many of new tetsament is only in spelling differeneces , then quran is really better than the new testament the nt scribes they didnt uttilize the same scribal technic like this semitic language holy book does whiches you need to always copy it with verbatim and not adding words as interpolation like we found in new testament and old testament, also the new testament that like kjv based on byzantine is not as accurate as earliest manuscript, the nestle aland also have differences with majority greek manuscript and contain eclectic reading unlike previously and quran is not as bloody as people think in fact the bible is more bloody and severe in killing people as you know when you read the old testament also patriach that depicted in bible as sinner is not like quran Interpolations in the Bible - IS the Bible God's Word? bible interpolation ruclips.net/video/9SCECRhQHW0/видео.html quranic preservation muslimprophets.com/article.php?aid=37 how can patriavh commit sin? www.jesus-resurrection.info/bible-prophets.html patraich commit sin? unpleasant.ffrf.org/ genocide www.layittoheart.com/septuagint.html septuagint problem sites.google.com/site/errorsinthebible/dss-lxx-vs-mt bible error skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/topics/about.html contradiction www.lyingforjesus.org/Bible-Contradictions/ rationalwiki.org/wiki/Bible_interpolation interpolation sites.google.com/site/isthebiblegodsword/interpolations-in-the-bible/interpolations-in-the-bible ruclips.net/video/1e1lWAcmaMQ/видео.html quran preservation www.thetextofthegospels.com/2017/08/some-shortcomings-of-nestle-aland.html?m=1 ruclips.net/video/Z9BOHhdixaM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/3Hr18MMu7nk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/jTziwt4YaKI/видео.html byzantine text not accurate heres the proof no interpolation found in quran amd no need textual criticism like bible does that they need to lift up the variation so you could return to the original , so bible is not always the same text throughout the ages without need to return to original , thank you friend i hope you see the proof and can reasonably decided what to do, peace and blessing
Jesus was a Galilean, not a Judaean. Neither was he a Christian or a Jew -- religions that did not take shape for at least a century after his death. He _was_ a follower of John the Baptiser and an ally of the Samaritans.
Christianity exists only as a thorn in the side of the Rabbis, a magnifying mirror to show them the errors of their interpretations and as a goad to lead them back to true Torah. Xianity is a grotesque of the Rabbis' erroneous interpretations. When the Rabbis return to true Torah, Xianity will disappear even as when one heals of a disease, the symptoms resolve.

Joh 10:24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.”
Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me,
Joh 10:26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep.
Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.
Joh 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
Dr. Tabor, that was a fantastic video, and I greatly appreciate the very fair way you treated not just Paul but the entire concept of "who is a Jew", which as you pointed out is a very complex problem and not easily solved.
Paul describes the "faith of Abraham" as being an entry point, which in other New Testament letters is linked to "works of righteousness"--if you have true faith, you will do the works of righteousness.
The relationship between faith and works is interesting, because acts of righteousness do not require that one believe in a deity or belong to a religion.
However, faith implies a belief in something, or someone.
It is this "faith IN..." that can create divisions and us-vs-them mentalities, while a focus on having a pure heart can be embraced by everyone.
Thank you so much for posting this video, I was so disappointed when it ended since it seemed like there was more!
It can also tie into the controversy of keeping slaves ....how one can be of the seed of faith of Abraham which means the slave laws would apply to those people as well..
@@TheMorning_Son not sure what you mean, please explain. Do you mean that since Abraham owned slaves that the seed of Abraham are considered slave owners as well?
Its not actually a complex problem at all. The only reason it is "complex" is because most people are ignorant and many people misuse terms and mix things up so much so that nobody can understand and have a clear and proper definition for anything.
If you forget about the term "Jevv" and instead look at 2 much more well defined things instead - who is ethnically Hebrew-Canaanite (the Israelites were a sub-group of that ethnos, which icluded other groups such as the Moabites, Amonites, Edomites), and who is religiously Jevvish? (and of course if you really want to be accurate, you need to break Jevvish down to which sect of Judaism, because in the 2nd temple period you had plenty. Today you have mostly various Phariseeic-Rabbinic sects but also Qaraites as well).
Also, Tabor demonstrated alot of ignorance regarding ethnicity and genetics in this talk. Woody Allen and most "Ashkenaz Jevvs" in general are ethnically alot closer to Jevvs from 2000 years ago than he might think due to his ignorance on the topic. Genetic studies proved this many times. You can also just take a look at the Samaritan Priests who are very much ethnically Israelites and see with your own eyes.
And regarding Jevvs from Pan-Arabaist countries (notice I don't use the nonsensical terminology "Arab countries"), such as Sephardic and Mizrahi Jevvs, they are also proven to be ethnically Hebrew-Canaanite with diaspora admixture.
Great subject! But I think your presentation is compromised by the implicit assumption that Judaism is a fixed pole in its relationship with the emerging Christian movement. Especially after the destruction of the temple, Judaism was forced to undergo a major reconceptualization of itself, away from a temple / sacrifice / priesthood based religion with a diverse array of schools of thought and into what became rabbinic Judaism. *Both* poles were moving, Judaism *and* Christianity; and it seems a fair question to ask in what ways Judaism's revised understanding of itself reflects a reaction to the Christian movement.
Christianity is not a new religion. It is the continuation of Biblical Judaism which is not the same as rabbinic Judaism which was made by the rabbis in the first century to keep the Jewish people from knowing their Messiah Yeshua.

This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!!
There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction "
Actually, I am very interested in the RigVeda, YenkammaNe. which book or study to I read first? I am very interested in Hinduism, as it does seem more realistic than the bible junk. I believe there are other gods, plural.
A good part of this discussion and misunderstanding comes from the Church selling their followers this fantasy of one "Bible" that is composed of both the "Old" testament and the "New" testament as one unit and that supposedly the "old" is now useless. That, coupled with the utter ignorance of Judaism in the Christian community, which makes them unable to recognize all the clear signs of Jesus' Judaism
Great lecture Dr. Tabor! Could you please address a further point to further complicate things, namely that the term "Jew" was originally a tribal specific designation associated with the tribe of Ju-dah. So while Jews comprised 1/12 of corporate Israel, not all Israel were "Jews"! Then further elaborate on the division of the House of Israel from the House of Judah where the apostate House of Israel were then considered "Goyim" or Gentiles (anyone outside the parameters of the Covenant). And then further elaborate on the many prophesies dealing with the regathering of the scattered 10 Northern tribes and how Yeshua claimed to be sent "only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel" and with Paul's mission to the "Gentiles". But first define "Gentiles" as while the 10 tribes were considered "Gentiles" by the House of Judah, not ALL Gentiles were descendants of the 10 tribes!!! Also, you have James writing to the 12 tribes scattered abroad, as well as Peter in his epistles where he seems to be focused on the Northern tribes of Israel...
I should add for the sake of confusion the fact that the Greek word for church is NOT ekklesia like everyone says it is! It's Kuriakos, a word that never refers to people and is not in my Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words! Yet ekklesia is used about 100x in the Septuagint in reference to Israel. So when we come to the NT and find the same word "ekklesia" being used in reference to the same people what are we to think!?! The concept of another entity falsely called "the Church" (i.e. Christianity) is foreign to Scripture!
Anyway, looking forward to your new book! Shalom!
@@terencechambers7479 That's correct Terence! The only point I would like to clarify is that the "congregation" (i.e. ekklesia) is the SAME group of people, Israel! While Paul clarifies in Rom.9-11 that "not all Israel is Israel" and that SOME, not all, of the natural branches had been "cut off" because of unbelief there has always been a righteous remnant, the true natural branch that has remained to which the "unnatural branches" (i.e. Gentiles: ANYONE outside of the "covenants of promise", Eph.2) are to be grafted into. Into the "Israel of God" (Gal.6:16)!
"I should add for the sake of confusion.." 😂 Love great comments!
Great lecture (as usual) Dr. Tabor! I really appreciate your relaxed though reasoned, measured and precise style. I'm no expert on this area of history but I have an observation which I am sure is probably elemental to those like yourself who are. Is it demonstrably correct to say that during and after the Jewish rebellions of A.D.66 -70 and Bar Kokhba A.D. 132 - 136 the tendency of early Christians to distance themselves from Jews was accelerated? Or was this process well underway by then?
It's interesting that you say that Abraham didn't believe in Christ and I am with you on that 100% but many Pentecostals and neo-evangelicals are taught that Abraham did believe in Christ and not just "Christ" as in a messiah but as in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God. I've heard this in several different churches. Very odd because you don't see that when reading Genesis. That has to be forced in later.
Nazareth did not exist at the time of Paul
Abraham met Him as Malki- Tzadok and gave Him the Tithe
@@seekthetruthandthetruthwil2388 - Right but we don't have any scriptural evidence that Abraham understood him to be Jesus of Nazareth. Abraham lived before a lot of Christ's importance was taught to us. It wasn't until Moses that we would receive the Law and understand the significance of all the things that would be the fulfillment of Christ's advent.
I mean, think about it. Did Abraham know the story of Adam and Eve? Maybe but until Moses wrote it down, we don't have any real hard and fast teaching in the post Flood world.
@@GizmoFromPizmo Abraham would know of Adam and Eve, although it may not have been the biblical version. As all civilizations had the counterfeit mother son imagery
The very fact that Abraham recognized Malki- Tzadok and acknowledged His superiority over the priesthood which would come though his loins, shows he knew a lot more than people around him:
Although i agree that we have it more clear than the people before the cross
Dr. Tabor, your Biblical scholarship speaks to my condition.
Another good lecture by Dr. Tabor.
The early believers that Jesus was Lord were kicked out of the temple and the synagogues, were ostracized by their families and beaten in the marketplaces.
That is when the separation began.
Jewish believers often held onto the traditions in order to evangelize within their own people, but they were considered separate and anathema.
Correction @ 3:45 ish - "Turned to idols to serve the true and living God," is actually - "turned from idols" so as not to confuse some. Otherwise thank you, you're very much appreciated. We know what you meant
The New Testament clearly teaches the "the last days" had already arrived. The Book of Hebrews says, "Hath in these LAST DAYS spoken unto us by His Son..." Peter quotes Joel who said, "And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh". The idea that it's pointing to some future time has to be read into the scriptures. The Last Days started 2,000 years ago. Jesus is the Prince of peace and the period of global peace is upon us. There are no nations, which are ruled by God fighting wars with each other. World peace is here, if we want it. God is not our problem. Do you want to be at peace? Then allow God to rule over you.
Some standing here will not taste death.....
apparently you are left behind according to your belief.
The last days in their time was the "end of the age" not the end of the world. Their age ended when the temple was destroyed. The current age is almost over through, and God shall return although not how you expect Him to
My goodness, this was fascinating... Thank you!
Great lecture Dr. Tabor! Love you and Bart Ehrman.
Do you love me, 🍪, 🐻?
Your generosity, James Tabor, is legendary. I just love listening to your lectures. Something that keeps coming up when this subject is discussed is the anglicized "Jehovah" or quasi-Hebrew "Yaweh", both of which are renderings of Tetragrammaton which according to a lot of old Hebrew texts I've read has been said to be the the unpronounceable name of god. Years ago, being the somewhat obsessive-to-a-fault armchair religious synchretist/historian, I began to look into possible meanings of the four Hebrew letters that make Tetragrammaton what it is. I struck out over and over again until I began to approach the Kabbalah. This all began to take place a few decades ago and in the years between then and now, I've wandered down some roads that really have grown quite esoteric and have come out into some pretty surrealistic clearings within the thick forest of letters looming high about me in all directions. One of my favorite is a definition that applies a familial role to each of the letters of Tetragrammaton - Yod being the father, heh the mother, vau the son and the final heh being the daughter who then becomes the mother, thus altogether representing an eternal generation and regeneration of all things. Then having studied a little further into it all, I find plenty of evidence to support the Hebrey Bible being a back-translation of the Greek Pentateuch and Septuagint. This sent me down a rabbit hole in search of the Greek word that might have been back-translated as YHVH. The results are numerous, but overall, they all unsurprisingly seem to refer to a figure of great authority.
Then there's the curiosity that I can't shake no matter how many times I read the refutations of various thinkers and scholars all of whom are probably thousands of times smarter than I am, and that is the fact that Jeheshua, a possible spelling of the Latin/Anglicized Jesus, could be spelled YHShVH - basically Tetragrammaton with a shin slotted into the center, a letter with Kabbalistic connotations of "change" and "fire". I'm not saying I've put a whole lot of stock into the whole thing. It just interested me to an enormous extent.
And I suppose that the most fascinating aspect of the whole thing for me is the fact that it's so comfortable and acceptable for modern Christians to use Tetragrammaton, this unpronouncable name of God, in such a bastardized way, given, of course, that the initial "unpronouncable name" thing was all nonsense to begin with.
Anyway, that's a very long comment, and I appreciate that you're probably a busy man with more interesting things to pursue. But that you are knowledgeable when it comes to this topic is incontrovertible. If you, or any of your subscribers with some insight into this matter were to get back to me with some kind of explanation that grants me some clarity on the matter, I would consider myself forever in your debt.
Buddhism is awesome! I've spent a whole lot of time studying Buddhist writings, too, and have yet to find something therein that contradicts anything else therein. And even if I ever did, I'd quickly find myself capable of dismissing it as just another absurdity the contemplation of which might, even if only for a moment, one day lead my selfish yet striving ass to samadhi. What a splendidly, seemingly incorruptible philosophy for life and potential mode of escape from this confining cycle of samsara.
I just wanted to say, I admire your tenacity and I found your comment super interesting. Thank you for taking the time to post
Your so right about Christ, he brings it all together. Your statement about the Jews is absolutely correct. Truly loved this video. Now I know I am not the only one who believes in the same idea. Thank You!!!
I've come to the opinion that Christianity is basically a philosophy based on verses taken out of their historical and cultural context primarily from Paul's writings.
It's an exploitive social system that's been spread worldwide via nefarious schemes that exploitive regimes use to help enrich them by plundering resources that aren't theirs to exploit. They only use a god to lend some credence to their nefarious desires.
Joh 8:56 “Your father Aḇraham was glad that he should see My day, and he saw it and did rejoice.” (TS2009). Abraham did accept/approve Messiah. The Christianity of Paul's time is the "faith which was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3 WEB) and very well could be described as Yeshua Judaism. The "Christianity" of today which culminated in fourth century Roman Catholicism is counterfeit and is actually "Mystery Babylon" of Rev. 17 and 18 that believers in Messiah are called to "come out of".

If one beliefs in YHVH, one should not forget, that YHVH is not subject to time, past, present or future, He Is , is His name, resulting to me that He is continuealy maintaining His Creation. HE is the very moment we are living in wright now.
This view matches facts as His unchangeable character, seeing all, knowing all, and standards to enter in His Kingdom.
Therefore no change in His creation is even possible, we the people make the changes, by our beliefs or so called understanding.
YHVH said, because of My Name I .......
Mozes understood this as he reminded Him on the Mountain while pleaing for His People, and promise to Abraham.
Everything YHVH utters becomes eternal instantly, ..... until He silences.
Very interesting and compelling topic! Judaism and Christianity are religions (man-made) indeed; they are not the same as the faith, The Way of YHVH!
Judaism is a man-made religion by the rabbis during and after Babylonian captivity. Christianity is also a man-made religion by the Romans in part bc of antisemitism (w/ plenty of Greek influence). From the beginning, there has been only One Faith, The Way of YHVH. The formula has also been the same - grace faith obedience, in that order. Grace comes from YHVH, Faith comes through Yeshua, and Obedience is by the Ruach (Holy Spirit). The people of this faith are called Israel. This is not to be confused with the house of Israel (northern kingdom), or the modern nation of Israel (which is really the house of Judah) controlling the Land.
Do NOT confuse Judaism with the faith, or Christianity with the faith. They are man-made traditions that are both full of syncretism. Judaism with rabbinic oral laws of their own creation via Babylonian influence (consider the calendar months, etc.) and Christianity with pagan Greek/Roman god-influence. Judaism has added to the commandments and made them difficult, while Christianity has taken away from the commandments by claiming the Law (Torah) ended with the cross. Both are Biblical error, violating Deuteronomy 4:2 and 12:32. Judaism continues to place rabbinic oral laws over The Law, and Christianity continues to practice its own traditions (Easter, Christmas, Sunday worship, no Sabbath rest). Come out of her My people.
Yeshua was Jewish (from the tribe of Judah) but practiced the faith, The Way of YHVH, NOT Judaism. This is clear by His handling of the Pharisees and priests of Judaism. He attacked them and their practices at every turn. Mark 7 is a good example. They eventually killed Him over His differences with them and Judaism.
Excellent lecture.
Why wouldn't Paul have gone to hear Jesus? They were contemporaries. Paul was sort of inner circle in Jerusalem and would have been there for three pilgrimage feasts a year when Jesus was. How did Paul miss the entry into Jerusalem, the crowd's sudden turn a couple of days later for Barabbas, the ghosts wandering the streets? How did curiosity about this guy who had turned the Sanhedrin on its head NOT intrigue Paul? And wouldn't some eye-witness nuggets in his letters solidify his position in the new church? The answer to these questions is that Paul is an embroidered literary device, too. ANY time you have a bunch of people grouping up, you're going to have WOLVES come in--that much they got right. But the reason is that people are power and more people are more power. We see this ALL the time in groups of master gardeners to little ol' ladies sewing blankets for the homeless. One or two people who are sociopaths come in and railroad the group to THEIR ends, not the group's.
Paul was trained in Judaism until on the "Road to Damascus."
From a Muslim side. Its very interesting to observe that in Genesis, ALLAH has often given the blessing to Abraham's children rather than Isaac alone as Jews and Christians Claim....
This is very much parallel with the Quranic's narrative of bringing back Ishmael to the blessing as he was excommunicated by his cousins(Isaac's descendants).
In the book of Jasher Isaac cried when his brother Ishmael died. They were very close bonded.
It's Sarah and Hagar that faught with each other not the brothers.
Also in Abraham Ishmael and Isaac descendants until today are bonded by blood.
Unfortunately they have still not realized it's the two mother's that are still in spirit keeping them apart.
I have seen Jews and Muslims stand together IN LOVE against animal cruelty. They have realized their fight is not against each other their fight is to stand up as one against lovelessness, cruelty, jealousy.
Once they realized that they unite against the true "invisible" enemy that is causing division among them they have conquered the "real" enemy
Nobody gives af about the quran
Although Ishmael is blessed beyond measure, The Promised child is Isaac as Ishmael is the child of the flesh. and that’s why the covenant was repeated with Isaac and then Jacob again
As always, fantastic. Growing up evangelical, I was taught what Paul and Jesus was said to have said. Then I’d actually read Paul and the Gospels and found I couldn’t make heads or tails of half of it. I’d read Romans and basically have no idea what I’d read half the time, except for the ethical guidance. However, Jesus and Paul by Dr Tabor brought tremendous clarity and made a lot of mystifying things clear, or if that was not possible, clarified what the interpretive issues were. What a great book and gift to anyone who is trying to figure out what these ancient writers are trying to say, not what we want them to say.
Read Father Richard Rohr for insights into Paul.
When Jesus died, did his soul go up to Heaven ?
And then come back down, three days and three nights later ?
Then go back up to Heaven again when he died the second time ?
no of course not.

There is a semetic version of tree worship of Asherah she is represented as a pole or a tree near Cananite religious locations to honour the Urgaratic mother goddess, Asherah consort of ELI. And its said that the Israelites imported elements of Asherah poles from the Cananiites.

The old stories get mixed in with the new.
Christianity started officially in A D 313 when an edict of Milan was proclaimed by the Roman government and 27 books written in Greek were supplied to use to replace all books and gospels at that time.
Christianity began when God gave clothes to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3.
When a fascist state, Rome, adopted it as there spiritual arm to screw over the population, they refined a model to allow a exploitive regimes to have a "spiritual arm" that was tasked with destroying indigenous cultures that needed to be either destroyed or domesticated so they could be used to further enrich the exploitive state, it's a total scam.
I disagree with that 100%. Christianity as we know it started the destruction of the temple in 70 CE.
@@thedude9941
Christianity started with Paul.
@@lutkedog1 I said Christianity as we know it today, before the destruction of the temple you still had Christians that made sacrifices at the temple and some that kept Jewish law, that all changed after the destruction of the temple, which is when I would say what we know as Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism today both started.
Actually in Classically Christianity
The Liturgy that we called The Liturgy of the Catechumen’s. Is very similar to Jewish Temple Service.
Remember Judaism after the Temple destruction changed from a sacrificial religion.
In 96CE Nerva gave the gentile Christians a "divorce" from the Jews and Jewish "Christians" (if one can even assert such a name as a descriptor). So, the separation had to have begun even before the second century.

No one ever talks about Abraham's second wife Keturah and the sons that they had together, mentioned in Genesis 25.. Why not?

Judah’s sons were killed , destroying his lineage and seed . After he sells his brother into slavery . Surviving him is his daughters , the lineage of Judah was passed by the women . Is this why they use the mother being Jewish as the distinguishing factor ?

Your premise is wrong, that Judaism is a religion. It is not. It is a Tribal culture. The question of who is a Jew is who is a member in good standing, who has a “citizenship card”. If an American citizen moves to France, they still have an American citizenship.
@@4clempt you are confused. Religion is attributed to formalistic ritual and worship. Citizenship is not culture nor religion.

@@4clempt Both of you have a poor understanding in the topic of ethnicity and genetics regarding this question, much like Dr. Tabor himself (sadly he demonstrated alot of ignorance here). Here is the post I made which briefly answer this "problem":
Woody Allen and most "Ashkenaz Jevvs" in general are ethnically alot closer to Jevvs from 2000 years ago than you might think. Genetic studies proved this many times. You can also just take a look at the Samaritans and see with your own eyes.
And regarding Jevvs from Pan-Arabaist countries (notice I don't use the nonsensical terminology "Arab countries"), such as Sephardic and Mizrahi Jevvs, they are also proven to be ethnically Hebrew-Canaanite with diaspora admixture.
Now, regarding who is a "Jevv", since the term has been misused and misunderstood by pretty much everyone due to various historical reasons, you should forget about that term and instead examine who is an ethnically a Hebrew-Canaanite (the Israelites were a sub-group of that ethnos, which icluded other groups such as the Moabites, Amonites, Edomites), and who is religiously Jevvish? (and of course if you really want to be accurate, you need to break Jevvish down to which sect of Judaism, because in the 2nd temple period you had plenty. Today you have mostly various Phariseeic-Rabbinic sects but also Qaraites as well)."
I Like what he arrives at in terms of the decision of a change but what he’s missing is that the living Christ was there in the beginning and is there me and he is the alpha and the omega he quoted Deuteronomy even to Lucifer when you stepped in the desert and he often spoke of Abraham and Abraham‘s children so the key point is that Christ fulfilled the law he didn’t change the way he fulfilled the law and there is a change through it

I think church of Christ folks understand that Jesus could not have been a Christian during His ministry - not in the Christian sense of the word. A Christian is a New Testament person and Jesus, during His ministry, lived under the Law. Church of Christ folks are taught from early on to see the thick black line drawn between the Old Covenant and the New, as explained in the Book of Hebrews. I'm not sure that any other denomination actually teaches or even believes that.
God = Life
"I am come that you might have Life and have it more abundantly."
By definition there can be only one all-inclusive Absolute Being (Life) in which all relative beings live, move and have their Being.
We are all It (Life at Larege) to an unknowable/inexhaustible extent, as the facets of a Diamond are 'both' distinct from each other 'and' the Diamond itself.
Love is the recognition of our shared Being.
My only and largest lament is how he interchangeably uses the term "Jews" to try to define Paul and Abraham and their countryman> Paul was not a "Jew" he weas a "Hebrew" and "Benjamite" not of the tribe of Judah. Abraham was a Hebrew And the "father" of thr tribes through his grandson. There were 12 tribes and Judah was only one of those. It DOES make a difference!!
Paul said -God choose to reveal his son in me. This statement summarizes everything about Paul.

"The Vishnu Purana also explains that, "When the practices taught in the Vedas and institutes of law have nearly ceased, and the close of the Kali age shall be nigh, a portion of that divine being who exists of His own spiritual nature, and who is the beginning and end, and who comprehends all things, shall descend upon earth. He will be born in the family of Vishnuyasha, an eminent brahmana of Shambhala village, as Kalki, endowed with eight superhuman faculties. By His irresistible might he will destroy all the mlecchas (Barbarians) and thieves, and all whose minds are devoted to iniquity. He will reestablish righteousness upon earth, and the minds of those who live at the end of the Kali age shall be awakened, and shall be as clear as crystal. The men who are thus changed by virtue of that peculiar time shall be as the seeds of human beings, and shall give birth to a race who will follow the laws of the Krita age or Satya Yuga, the age of purity. As it is said, 'When the sun and moon, and the lunar asterism Tishya, and the planet Jupiter, are in one mansion, the Krita age shall return.'" (Book Four, Chapter 24)

I'm late to the party but maybe someone will read this. Maybe someone will see what I think is self evident. Christianity should not have ever been a religion. Yeah I said it. Yeshua ( that is Jesus real name ) did not want a reformed Judaism. His Way was not to be codified and boiled down to do's and Don'ts. The Commandments were still there in their entirety but summed into a simple Unified Commandment. Love the the Father with all your heart , soul and strength and love one another as yourself. The Way was not a religion. It was a way of life. The message is crippled by religiosity. Yeshua fought strongly against "religion". He wanted relationship. With God, our Creator and with one another through Him.. A God centered community where everyone builds each other up and encourages one another to seek God first. The Spirit was to be the glue. But the Institutional Church made that something only the Apostles had access to. The Way without the unfettered access of the Spirit is not The Way. It is a imitation in the guise of a religion. God doesn't want religion. Religion confines and codifies to exert control by a few people over many people. Yeshua through the Holy Spirit was to be the only authority. Peter says we are all priests. I cannot tell you what your walk with God is supposed to be. We can uplift and encourage one another to seek that walk but the moment we say what someone can or cannot do we limit the Spirit. God refuses to be put in a box. That is what religion does. The Scribes and Pharisees tried to tell Yeshua what he was not. He rebuked them at every turn. Cast off religion and seek the Holy Spirit in your life. You will know the Spirit by the fruit it bears in your life. We will sin and we are to ask for forgiveness to clear away the barriers we place around ourselves. This is why no one can enter heavens with sin. We will fry to a crisp in the Holiness of God. He does not sentence us... we condemn ourselves. Our actions, our sin is a barrier to the unfettered access of the Spirit. Without the Spirit the Presence of God is too much only the gift of salvation and the gift of the Spirit living in us (born again) allows us to see God. Please let go of ego and pride and entrapment of religion. Seek Yeshua... open yourself to the Spirit and you will be led where you should go.

I'm not a Chrisitan. I was raised in a Christian family. This line of Christians being vaguely surprised, with inferences of discomfort, in the "news" that Jesus was a Jew, is a bit, in my limited view, undeserved, and it doesn't do our desire to have our Christian friends re-examine their beliefs any favors.

One of the central messages of Jesus in the Gospels is that the Jews he was confronted by did not properly understand Judaism itself. Jesus presents himself as the revelation of true Judaism. Jesus was a Jew who revealed and fulfilled Judaism. The religion of Jesus is called Christianity because most people who identify as Jewish reject Jesus as the revelation of the will of Yahweh. But Jesus was clear that most Jews don't understand Judaism, or the will of Yahweh.

Hi James! Found your talk very informative. You said at one point that Abraham did not know the Messiah (Christ) but the Scriptures say he did. Abraham knew אלשדי AL'SHaDaY, the Almighty (the LORD). Isaiah 44:6, ...I am the First and I am the Last. Revelation 2:8, ...the First and the Last who became Dead and came to Life. The Title 'the First and the Last' identifies Him as the same Being, the Son. The 'First' is the Holy Spirit Son, the 'Last' is the Holy Spirit Son manifest in the Flesh as the 'Son of Man'. Matthew 24:29-31, ...the Son of Man coming on the clouds with power and great glory.
In Revelation 11:17-18 'Lord God Almighty' in Hebrew would be, יהוה אלשדי YaHUaH AL'SHaDaY.
From Genesis to Revelation, the God who has revealed Himself to Man is the Holy Spirit Son. The Holy Spirit Father, Our Father, has never been seen by Man, His Son has revealed Him to the World. They are the יהוה אלהים YaHUaH ALaHaYM of the House of YaHUaH, they both bear the same Name. Revelation 14:1, ...having His Name and the Name of His Father written on their foreheads.
Hope you find this as exciting as I do? May you be Blessed.

So Christians today worshipping Paul instead of God; since they follow the teaching of Paul not Jesus.
When Jesus rose from the dead. Who Moved the Stone? by Frank Morison
Jesus did not exist.
@@lutkedog1 If not Jesus and the Apostles, whodunit, and wrote the four Gospels, 14 letters of Paul, and distributed them in Aramaic, Greek. Coptic, Vetus Latin, and other languages, and distributed them throughout the ancient world? Inquiring minds would like to know?
@@jamessheffield4173
Paul Started it
@@lutkedog1 So we got the letters, then who wrote the four Gospels and organized the Apostolic Churches.? See Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Hippolytus.
Paul and Peter and James existed that,s all i know
So Paul usurped the movement / sect?
Paul was active first, later came the gospels... Paul was around when they executed Jesus.... but was Phärisian Talib...
A Jew is one who is in covenant with HaShem, and Keeps Torah. Yeshua certainly didn’t come to abolish the Torah, and I submit the the Roman Church has certainly gotten off the path.
" even the Elect shall be devive
I think Paul did not start a new religion, but he did understand that the old one was being amended. The things that are amended as a result of the Messiah are: the form of circumcision, the Priesthood, the sacrifice and the Kingship. Paul did not want us to come under the old covenant because we would not receive the benefits of the amended covenant. I go into great detail about this in my book Knowing Yehovah, The Law is the Key to His Heart.
How can you possibly know what was on Paul's mind??? Or his true motivation and intention.....??? This is the sort of Hubris driven assumption, made by preachers all the time that I find very disingenuous and disturbing.. Especially when they never keep their speculative thoughts to themselves but instead forcefully push it on the masses while simultaneously fleecing their pockets!!!
Abraham, Sarah, Ishmael and Isaac... Which things are an allegory. Sarah, Mt Sinai is above, and the mother of us all.
Awesome discussion,Judiasm is one tribe we should actually say the Israelite faith
Honored to be the 444th comment..I greet you in the Name Above All names The EL above ALL el's EL ELYON EL SHADDAI YHUUH Adonai and Ruach HA KODESH YHUUSHA 3 in 1 1 in 3 not a TRINITY but the ONE who has Been for ETERNITY! SHALOM🕊
Dr. Tabor why do you use “Jehovah” instead of “Ya’oh”? And which is the correct name of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?
The mischievous superstition wasn’t a cult, but the resurrection of the Son of God.
The self proclaimed Roman Son’s of god could never make the same claim. This new sect was an abomination to the dead and rotting Sons of god!
Thanks
IT started 13th March 321AD, when the pagan Emperor Constantine changed Almighty Gods Holy Sabbath day 7th day, to the 1st day of the week Sunday, the worship of the Sun God, and the bishops of Rome followed this up in AD 338, giving it the title the Lords day. NO where in Holy scripture is this day venerated in any way, At the end times this day will be used for false worship and the worship of the BEAST as spoken off in the Book of Revelation.

@@MichaelTheophilus906 Yes Michael, The protestant churches are not much different, following man made laws against the Holy Laws of God, Instead these ministers pastors, standing in the pulpets agreeing to men in high places, agreeing to laws of men instead of laws of Almighty God, Following Roman Paganism, and keeping the pagan feasts , instead of worshiping God, Their job is to save the souls of men, instead they are doing the opposite, they are stating they have to make their church fit for the 21 century. No wonder their churches are empty. IF ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF, DOES NOT RULE THE CHURCH, Then she is empty. Winifred Thompson. Northern Ireland.
When people got bored with the old one
It's interesting how seductive and enticing intellectual forays into scripture and 'knowledge' can be. The simple embarrassing truth is that what Paul KNEW and what Jesus IS has and will always be missed by the intellect. The Gospel and the epistles are authored by humans who have been transformed in a way intellect can NEVER grasp. It can talk about it for centuries and fill libraries but it can never ever know it because it is ONLY known by faith. Once that (by the grace of God) happens, it's a NEW GAME. Who Jesus is and all of it falls into place as that is the nature of the WORD.
Logos Anointed One from Judea Rome
The angels(messengers/watchers,) of Yahweh found the daughters of men alluring and took them for wives. I believe Yaweh is speaking of the levite priesthood they were never a tribe but were to serve all the Nations, as go between with Yahweh.
Interesting. What texts do you support this with?
@@zamiel3 well for starters folks get the word mountain confused with the word city when it says they were in the mountain of Yahweh, and only the men from the levite were allowed into His innermost sanctum. Other indicators from strongs Hebrew concordance point to that summation.
@@Sonofthe1655 Again, what texts are you referring to?
@@zamiel3 you need a strongs king James concordance to search out the original meanings of words as some are gender neutral bringing totally new meanings to scripture as a lot of words are poorly translated, certain words like heaven have totally different meanings.
@@Sonofthe1655 So you don't know what texts you are referring to. That's unfortunate.
From the moment Our Lord Ascended and ever since the evil one has been doing he s work. This is why we are at this point in time today. Many truths have been hidden from us by those who know for their own evil agenda.
This comment is a great example of the separation of the new cult of Jesus from the worship of Hashem alone.
Observe the dualism the christian cult promotes; an “evil one” vs
Isaiah 45:7 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Look at the mystery cult, the gnostic “hidden truth” vs
Deuteronomy 30:11-14
11For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heavend to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’ 13And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the seae to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’ 14But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.
Very different. The Christians clearly created a different religion. I think the Jesus, a nice Jewish boy who taught adherence to the teachings of the establishment Jewish leaders, would be appalled at what they did.
The paganization of Christianity by the church is fascinating.
hello brother and sister we muslim meet ramadhan this month i hope god bless the world to become more peaceful place and help those who suffer, i just want to tell some information and fact about quran and bible, this is a friendly reminder
the quran multiple times correcting the bible in many cases
first in exodus the bible stated people in exodus could be 2 or 3 million, historian put some estimation that in ancient egypt the population could be around 5 million , so the exodus to be that many is impossible not just that based on scholars observation there would be a problem with logistic and the line of people that way too long and the collapse of egyptian economy also pharaoh chase the jew only with 600 chariots and that too many people would not perfectly fit the historical proof, all christian channel and scholars taht regard this issue seriously excuses taht its only thousand not million because the word eleph in 600 eleph doesnt mean thousand but clan so instead 600 eleph as thousand plus woman and childern they make it clan to fit the historical result and proof
but the census that moses did and tax resulting in 600 thousand shekels stuff, that when you read the narrative the result of the tax only compatible wehn the israelite is above million so its true that bible said its up to million
It is the silver that is directly connected with the census of Num 1:1-46.
The fact that 100 talents plus 1,775 shekels exactly equals 603,550 bekas
utterly refutes those who try to make "eleph" mean clans, not the number
1000.
to render to the small number in bible its require scribal error in the total resulting number among many hereditary scribal error in jewish torah
but the quran said its only small number
and the bible said the ruler in joseph time called pharaoh but more accurately is quran because the term pharaoh only used in new kingdom not previous period of egypt the quran stated that the ruler in joseph time didnt called as pharaoh the quran simply stated it as king
the quran also know the name moses means newborn and the pharaoh family member name him egyptian name not hebrew name
and the quran is preserved orally by memorization also have fixed text unlike new testament that written in greek and can be pharaphrased if scholars said many of new tetsament is only in spelling differeneces , then quran is really better than the new testament the nt scribes they didnt uttilize the same scribal technic like this semitic language holy book does whiches you need to always copy it with verbatim and not adding words as interpolation like we found in new testament and old testament, also the new testament that like kjv based on byzantine is not as accurate as earliest manuscript, the nestle aland also have differences with majority greek manuscript and contain eclectic reading unlike previously
and quran is not as bloody as people think in fact the bible is more bloody and severe in killing people as you know when you read the old testament also patriach that depicted in bible as sinner is not like quran

byzantine text not accurate
heres the proof no interpolation found in quran amd no need textual criticism like bible does that they need to lift up the variation so you could return to the original , so bible is not always the same text throughout the ages without need to return to original , thank you friend i hope you see the proof and can reasonably decided what to do, peace and blessing
Separation of sheep and goats. 💪📜
Darn, just as it started to get good, talking about St. James, and The Poor, it ends. 🙄
Jesus was a Galilean, not a Judaean. Neither was he a Christian or a Jew -- religions that did not take shape for at least a century after his death. He _was_ a follower of John the Baptiser and an ally of the Samaritans.
Christianity exists only as a thorn in the side of the Rabbis, a magnifying mirror to show them the errors of their interpretations and as a goad to lead them back to true Torah. Xianity is a grotesque of the Rabbis' erroneous interpretations. When the Rabbis return to true Torah, Xianity will disappear even as when one heals of a disease, the symptoms resolve.
