Who is this ‘Jesus’?

Is He your brother?

Who is this ‘Jesus’? You would think that after less than 2,000 years ago, the argument would be mute, but it is far from being correct. You may have just read this and thought: ‘Who are you to say?’ I would respond: “If not me, who?”. If you have any fear of Yehovah, after reading the Bible alone; and reading Christian writings and history you would see if only in a glimmer so to speak; that this ‘Jesus’ they speak of, and the Christianity they profess to be a part of, do not line up. Something is missing. And I am not even hinting toward the utter corruption of Christianity. I know that some desire to follow good morals and have a will to help others. I know they pray and fellowship. I know they are moved with emotion believing that anything said to them in shining light upon flaws in doctrines and dogmas of established ‘churches’ will bring hostility ‘in the name of Jesus’. If you want to lose friends fast, begin speaking the words of the Messiah. Not worldly friends; but many of those professing Christianity. They will hate you.

These things I command you, that you love one another. If the world hates you, you know that it hated me long before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘The servant is not greater than his master.’ If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my Torah, they will keep your instructions also. But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken unto them, they would not know of their sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them *the works which no other man did, they would not know of their sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word *might be fulfilled that is written in the Torah, ‘They hated me without a cause.’ When the Comforter has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me. You shall also bear witness of me because you have been with me from the beginning.” John 15:18-27

The baby born to Joseph and Mary, was given a name from the Creator Himself through the angel Gavriel, the name was Yeshua. It was not ‘Jesus’! There is NO argument for this if one only seeks truth. The Greek word Jesus is in itself an outright ignorance and hostel attempt to show forth the hatred of the Hebrew people by what was established as being the ‘Unified Church’ that formed from a line of leaders who openly confessed their hatred of the Jewish people. And I know that this will not settle very well with most readers. I will dedicate a page regarding this topic of debate with links to others who have covered this very well.

It’s important to acknowledge that Christianity originated within a Jewish context, and Jesus (Yeshua) himself was Jewish. Early Christians, including John who baptized in the river Jorden (Yochanan), were rooted in Jewish traditions and scriptures. Over time, as Christianity evolved and spread, it developed its distinct identity and theological interpretations. (If you think, this was a good thing – you are near to being cursed, asserting yourself as an enemy of Yehovah).

There are differing perspectives on how closely Christianity should align with its Jewish roots. Some Christian denominations emphasize the continuity between the two faiths, while others emphasize the differences. Most show outright hatred toward truth; setting themselves out to ‘be’ separated from ‘those who killed Jesus’.

It should be recognized as crucial, that religious interpretations and beliefs are deeply personal and vary widely among individuals and communities. Historical and theological scholarship continues to explore the connections and distinctions between Judaism and Christianity. Nevertheless, this ministry is for exposing the truth without delving into Apologetics because I, the founder of this ‘ministry’, do not believe that there will be any cohesive structure concerning the division and differences between the two religions. We must bear in mind and profess that never was it entertained in the mind of Yeshua to start another religion, to begin with. The persona, Jesus of Nazareth, the central figure of Christianity, is separated from Yeshua as being the Messiah. Yeshua’s Jewishness was quickly being erased with the growth and soon formation of the Universal Church in the early 30s. His earliest followers, including the apostles, would most certainly have risen against any teaching whereby he had come to abolish the Torah. The Way was seen, until direct interaction with Rabbinical Pharisees, as a reform movement within Judaism, aiming to reinterpret Jewish scriptures in light of Yeshua’s teachings and resurrection. Christianity, in the likeness of the mob who heard and witnessed Saul of Tarsus healing and speaking in Acts 14:11; quickly desired to confess and sacrifice (perform religious service) professing that Jesus is the Elohim of Israel. The teachings of Yeshua were so clearly understood by his followers as being in unity with Tanakh that those who heard him identified with his voice as not being foreign unto them for they were not deceitful individuals as Yeshua clearly stated about one on a certain occasion. They had heard Tanakh read unto them since their youth in Synagogue and spoken about within their family. Yeshua brought this to light as he described in the Gospels: “And a stranger will they not follow but will flee from him; for they know not the voice of strangers”. After years of hearing the Tanakh, they knew the voice of Yehovah; and there before them stood the Mitzvah in front of them which they obeyed after much struggle of humanity. They waited and received the divine gift poured upon them that stayed their spirits to face death without denial. Oh, how weak the flesh is without the Spirit of Yehovah! May we truly be crucified with the Messiah while covered with this flesh; that we may become whom Yeshua was crucified for.

At the core, both faiths seek to understand and relate to the Divine, though they do so in drastically different ways; it is a fact of profession that those who know and understand the testimony of Yeshua hold that there is now only one way to access the Father, and that is through the Gift given through the sacrifice of Yeshua. It’s always valuable to engage in respectful and open dialogue; nevertheless, there is a time to stand one’s ground when it is concerning what is revealed in the Gospels. One must understand that Christianity formed into a national religion under Constantine who is said to have ‘converted’ to Christianity but in no way reflected any submission to the Elohim of Israel as his actions of murder and political decisions contradict the words of Yeshua. Still to this day, he is said to be a saint in Catholicism. Nevertheless, we who know Him or are rather known of Him can change and communicate the truth expressed in the Gospels. But you cannot do it in the secular realm, out of human passion. One must be led by the Spirit of Yehovah, having received the tevilah in the Spirit.

Distancing the testimony of Yeshua from its Jewish origins has had several severe consequences, both historically and theologically:

  1. Loss of Historical Context: Christianity emerged within a Jewish context, and many early Christian teachings and practices are rooted in Jewish traditions. Distancing from these origins can lead to a loss of understanding of the historical and cultural context in which Christianity developed.
  2. Theological Divergence: Distancing can result in significant theological differences. For example, the interpretation of scriptures, understanding of key religious concepts, and the role of Jesus can diverge significantly when separated from Jewish thought.
  3. Interfaith Relations: Distancing can impact the relationship between those who hold the testimony of Yeshua and those who still wait for the testimony of the Messiah. Understanding common roots can foster mutual respect and dialogue while not understanding differences can lead to greater misunderstandings and conflicts.
  4. Misinterpretation of Texts: Many biblical texts are misinterpreted without the Jewish context. When removed from their original context, the meanings of rituals, symbols, and prophecies can change.
  5. Cultural Identity: For some ‘Christians’, distancing from Jewish origins leads to a loss of appreciation for the rich cultural and religious heritage of Judaism. It can also impact the identity of Jewish men and women, who seek to maintain both their Jewish heritage and faith in Yeshua.

These consequences highlight the importance of understanding and appreciating the interconnectedness of Judaism and those who hold the testimony of Yeshua, but without conforming outwardly to either one. Fostering a deeper, more nuanced understanding of both faiths and promoting respectful interfaith dialogue is to be civil. But why would we need this type of dialogue; it is from the faith of Judaism that we have the actions recorded by those who did not profess to change the belief to another ‘god’ but to prune the leadership of a faith that was an intricate part of their everyday lives. So, having an open dialogue allows us to be used by the Spirit of Yehovah.

So, we must see this ‘Jesus’ for whom he was according to prophecy, according to what is recorded in the Gospels about him and what is recorded of him speaking of himself. Then we must investigate what those who walked a year with him alive in physical flesh and also walked forty days in his resurrected state; keeping in mind the verbal acknowledgment and command recorded as spoken by Yehovah from the throne of glory. This is why we must study showing ourselves unto the Father and to others, we are approved. In doing so, we open our mouths, as we have been directed to be readily available to do, being in union with Yehovah as revealed to us by his son – Yeshua.
