Jesus had siblings :

- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

Remember:

• Luke was a physician!
• And the only Gentile to write any part of the New Testament!
• Luke was a close friend of Paul!
• Perhaps Luke’s interest in medicine is the reason his gospel gives such a high profile to Jesus’ acts of healing!
• Luke joined Paul in Troas in Asia Minor during Paul’s second missionary journey!
• Luke was left in Philippi during the second missionary journey!
• And picked up again to travel with Paul on the third journey!
• Luke accompanied Paul on his journey to Jerusalem and Rome and was with him during his imprisonment there!
• Scholars have noted that Luke had an outstanding command of the Greek language!
• His vocabulary is extensive and rich, and his style at times approaches that of classical Greek, as in the preface of his gospel!
• While at other times it seems quite Semitic!
• He was familiar with sailing and had a special love for recording geographical details!
• All this would indicate that Luke was a well-educated, observant, and careful writer!

____________________________________________________________


Remember:

• If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
• They used to write differently!
• They used to speak differently!
• They used to think differently!
• They used to act differently!

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

• Point of time (a specific day)
• time period of a whole or half a day:
  • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
  • Sunrise to sunset
  • Sunset to next sunset
• General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
• A year "lived a lot of days"
• Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

__________________________________________________________________________

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

70) Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 19: 45-47:

• Jesus opposes the merchants in the temple!
• He calls them robbers!
• They are corrupt!
• And they do business in Yah.weh’s temple!
• What a shame!
• And nobody opposes them!
• It shows that corruption is complete!
• Especially among religious leaders!
• That’s why they try to do their best to kill him!

 

[JLGJLG]

____________________________________________________________

• In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
• An important man must go to a distant land to secure kingly power!
• To his ten slaves he gives money to do business with it till he comes back!
• When he comes back, he wants to know what his slaves have done with their business activity!
• According to what they have done he gives them authority over cities!
• BUT ONE SLAVE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING!
• And he takes what he gave to this slave and gives it to the one who did the best job!
• SO THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL BE GIVEN!
• BUT THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE!
• What about you?

_______________________________________________________

• Maybe you remember that Yah.weh prevented David from building his temple because he was a soldier and he spent a big part of his life making war!
• Jesus clearly said a Christian can’t do that!
• In fact, everything we hear in the first part of the Bible has nothing but nothing to do with what a Christian must or mustn’t do!
• THUS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE FIRST PART OF THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFY ANY PRACTICE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS NOTHING BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS’ TEACHING!
• I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT IT!

71) Jesus vs the religious leaders

Luke 20: 1-8

• The chief priests and the scribes ask Jesus who gave him authority to do what he does!
• Instead of answering them he asks them the same question but about John the Baptist!
• They answer they don’t know so Jesus doesn’t answer them either!
• Jesus knows perfectly their bad intention!
• They play a game!
• Jesus’ authority opposes their authority!
• And they don’t want to lose it!
• It was their personal choice!
• We have the same personal choice!

 

[JLGJLG]

- First I don't teach people!

- I read the Bible and I tell people about what I learn!

- When they ask me questions, I try to answer them!

- When it is possible to have a discussion, we have a discussion!

- If you look at the titles of my threads, I speak about the books of the Bible and especially about the faithful servants of Yah.weh!

- When it is different, it is because many people repeat the same arguments without knowing so I have to show how it works!

- It is necessary to check!

- About John 1:1, it is necessary to check through the Gospel of John about the use of the definite article or not!

- About Jesus' siblings, it is necessary to check the vocabulary used and the context in the different Gospels!

- About the reality of translations, it is necessary to analyze them!

- Before publishing a message, I usually publish the same information connected to the usual mistakes people make!

- Or important facts which must be remembered!


____________________________________________________________

• Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!

• WITH ONE ACTION HE STOPPED THE SCOURGE AGAINST

ISRAEL AND YAH.WEH’S ANGER WENT AWAY!

• BUT 24,000 DIED!

- WHAT ABOUT US?

____________________________________________________________

• Many people think they read the Bible but when you listen to them, it is clear they don’t read it!
• THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO READ THE BIBLE: TO TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT YOU READ!
• IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES!
• YOU MUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEN YOU WILL START TO LEARN ABOUT THE BIBLE!

____________________________________________________________

• In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
