This is great supplementary material to the NT and The Chosen TV series (which I HIGHLY recommend.) Thank you for the background information on Ancient Israel! I do hope to visit the Holy Land some day.
That sounds really great. I'm looking forward to hearing about it. I just went to the doctor a few days ago, whose name is Jesus and he lives in Magdalena.... (This is South America. I'm a missionary there), but I thought about that area. I was truly amazed at how small everything was... But it's a beautiful area. God bless you. I would love to talk with you sometime.
Very nice video. One small quibble. It is not technically accurate to refer to a “rabbinical center” in the time of Jesus. The word rabbi, particularly as we think of it today, came into use after the fall of the Temple. The precursors of the rabbinical tradition were the Pharisees who, as traditionalists, were more dedicated to Torah observance than their rivals the Sadducees. The Pharisees themselves were not uniform in their views with debates over the relative importance of the spirit or the letter of the law taking place between the houses of Hillel and Shammi. It was with members of these groups Jesus was most likely interacting - with Jesus seeming to agree more with Hillel. He is remembered for his Golden Rule: “What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn."
Thanks for your comment Mike. We're familiar with what you're describing about the technical use of the phrase "rabbinical center" prior to 70 AD from scholarly work. However, we're not convinced this view stands up to thoughtful historical investigation. If you'd be willing to send us a brief email to hello@walkingthetext.com, there's a paper I'd love to share with you that I think you'd find thought-provoking on these issues.
Boy wasnt i a jew beleiving one when i was a kid. My parents said if it was left up to me id have realitives from both sides living in and on the property with us. So true
Answer to consider, scripture talks about people following the traditions of man / Rabbinical for example as relating to that time. Now days people routinely use the pagan Greek name for our savior that is against the 3rd commandments. His name is Yahshua . People routinely observe all kinds of different set apart days like Christmas , Ester, Sunday etc. And fail to observe for the most part the set apart days that our Father YHWH Elohim has given us. The word "in vain" is "l'shav" in Hebrew לשוא meaning "falsely". This means false names (Jesus) and titles. Sadly most folks have no idea as they have been deceived by the "Church" about what faith without works is dead even means. Want to know the way? Seek out Natsarene Israel for starts.
Very well done. Thia ia so food
Thanks Lloyd! Grateful to know it blessed you.

Brad freaking Gray. Like his videos .
I want to follow Jesus well, that includes studying so I better understand Jesus, which is some cases may overturn one's earlier understanding.
Well said @donj2222!
