Yeshua Vs Jesus

10. Why, do you suppose, the Jewish merchants and moneylenders were hated by the Christians?

Favored Joseph and put him in charge for the sake of being on god’s good side

Joseph began his life as the favorite son of Jacob who tended to the flocks as a shepherd.3 These humble beginnings foreshadow how one day Joseph will tend to the Seed of the Woman during times of famine in the land by giving food to this eleven brothers. Jacob, who was the son of Isaac, had eleven other sons who were jealous of the special attention that Joseph received. In fact, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.4 Joseph had a dream that predicted that Joseph would one day reign over his older brothers. This upset his brothers and they tricked Joseph by selling him into slavery. Joseph was then taken to Egypt where he was sold to Potiphar and became a servant in

At this time, Jacob heard that grain was being marketed in Egypt. He said to his sons, “Why are standing around go to Egypt to buy us grain, otherwise, we shall die.” Jacob sent only his older sons to go to Egypt. He would not let Benjamin go because he feared for his safety. When they arrived in Egypt they came before Joseph because he was in charge of selling the produce, and as they approached Joseph they bowing down with their faces to the ground. Joseph instantly recognized his brothers, but he pretended to be a stranger. He decided he would act unpleasant to his brothers and demanding where they came from. “We come from the land of Canaan,” they replied, “ We came to do buy some grain.” Although, Joseph recognized his brother, they did

In the epic Genesis, Joseph is a character who endures countless hardships only to discover that his suffering was all part of God’s plan. This realization, along with many other crucial plot developments, is made possible by the actions of Judah. Judah begins the story in a place of envy and selfishness, but later he shows great moral development by committing the ultimate sacrifice in the name of his father.

4.Deicide, this because the Jews killed Jesus. However in the Christian Bible the Romans are mentioned as to the ones that killed Jesus.

Two thousand years ago, the birth of Jesus, arguably the most influential man the world has ever seen, altered history forever. Christians know him as the Messiah, the son of God who came to save all of mankind, and for others, he may just be a great teacher and person of history. It is the latter that Reza Aslan attempts to shed an unbiased light on by comparing the Jesus that modern Christians believe in to the Jesus that Aslan believes would have fit into first-century Palestine: a violet revolutionary, dedicated to the eradication of the Roman government in Israel and the deposition of the rich priestly class. Aslan paints a portrayal of Jesus using knowledge of the time period, Scripture that has been taken out of context and misinterpreted, and most of all, the author’s imagination and powerful rhetoric to cover up his faulty argumentation. In his book Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, Reza Aslan recreates an interesting but purely speculative image of the historical Jesus through exploring the political and social history of first-century Palestine, the life and teachings of Jesus, and the development of early Christianity.

The purpose of the paper is to differentiate between Christ of faith and Jesus of history. New Testament biblical scholars from the 19th Century have been preoccupied by the notion of Christ of faith versus Jesus of History. Jesus of history can be described as the quest for historical Jesus, while the Christ of Faith is the Christ of Christian belief either through the Church or historically. Some traditions even went ahead to argue that the Jesus of History could never be found and therefore the Christ of faith is the only way forward for Christians. On the other hand, those who have been promoting the Jesus of History have often assumed that the historical Jesus is much superior as compared to the Christ of Faith. Despite the key differences between Christ of faith and the historical Jesus, both these aspect have an implication for Western Christianity.

When Jesus started to perform his so called metical’s the current rulers of Jerusalem feared that he might take over so when Rome sized control of Jerusalem they told the Romans that Jesus was guilty of treason.

Gen 48:1-2, “1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.”

Annette Simmons once said, “If you wish to influence and individual or a group to embrace a particular value in their daily lives, tell them a compelling story.” The book Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and the biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son hold some similarities. They do, however, hold distinct differences. The differences between Great Expectations and the Parable of the Prodigal Son can be traced back to the purpose of the authors. The differences are evident though the authors’ purpose, the plot, and the main characters in both works.

A search of the OT produces between 260 and 340 hits in the English bible, a similar number in the MT, and 789 in the LXX. Often, several references occurred within a single pericope. Therefore, rather than sorting through the surfeit of available material, a better way to engage covenant authoritative topoi is through the Second Temple authors’ perspectives.

48 And Joseph did according to their words, and the Lord hearkened to Joseph, and the Lord

23 When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, “Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25 who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit,“‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?26 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers were gathered together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed’—27 for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30 while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.
