But did she answer the basic question? Or is she saying it's unknown? But there has to be some point or event where the Christian Jews no longer identified as Jews. Surely before the time of Constantine.

Not really. Isolated among ignorance she is Einstein. What she is discussing is nothing really new but rather only new to those minds isolated by faith structures from it. Since the trail blaze of men like Robert Eisenman the conversation concerning the quest for the historisity of Jesus and the 1st century movements has been flourishing under a truckload of New rougue scholars. People are simply becoming more and more informed and introduced to cross referencing and actual historical rigors. Its nice to be positive but lets not lionize everyone who happens to know something we havent read ourselves, even if she is pretty hot. lol. After all let us not ignore the fact that in the concluding analyses it can be said that the Beautiful Prof demonstrated what , upon completion of the Historical Christianity journey almost always reveals. A GENUINE UNCERTAINTY. It may be time to recognise that the misleading history that was being formed with ten foot poles in the turbulance of the 1st century may have been formed literally in a way so as to bury the very bread comes and trail we struggle with today. The type of annoying, weasely, deceptive brilliance some of us would like to strangle with our bare hands.lol.

hi there.hola hooray hey. here we go jo the truth coming up,actually turah&bible were from god but they had been corrupted afterwards as a result god sent down quran upon prophet muhammed&god said i`ll preserved the quran thereby god had fulfilled his promise ,let me show u friendly&honestly the truth,okee dokee.shedding the light on christianity to know the truth first of all there is no original bible the 4 main bible are contradicted to each other yet there is 1 quran but who is the writer of bible the answer is paul the jewish who hates jesus let us discuss about the significant event which is crucifixion why does your would claimed god left his only son to crucify without any sin he had committed the disaster reached its uttermost when u found bible said on the tongue of jesus my god my god why do u forsaken me means jesus has never crucified willingly have u an idea why do they `ve crucified jesus because it`s a penalty of an impure &particularly crucifixion because dindn`t touched the earth make it an impured that what paul said jesus gets impure for the sake of us &see the authentic god what does said in quran chapter 3 verse 55 by the name of god the most gracious&most merciful , O Jesus, I will take you and raise you up to me, and had purified you from those who disbelieve, and He will place those who follow you above those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection, then to Me is your return, so I will judge between you regarding that in which you differed,the authentic god rose jesus to the sky before they kill him in addition he had purified him from a false accusation of he was an impure . quran verse is comply with the bible itself :So they lifted up stones to stone him. But Jesus did and went out of the temple, passing through them." ( John 8:59 ),let alone of many verses in the bible incites to violence thus u found the largest massacres had happened in history the ww1&2 christian countries against christian countries 100 millions had been killed not to mention the sex stories in the bible nay u never found a single sex word in quran,don`t take it in personal just i clarify u the plain truth,bible said woman when she during the menstruation she gets impure &any thing she would touched it will be impure &should stay at her room till had done of it don`t see that an insulting to woman &how does the claimed god in bible said so he demeans& underrates his own creatures, yet islam honored the woman &she has a complete chapter its name women show us her rights,let us look at modern medicine which refutes the bible, ovulalation happens every 28 days from overy next month from other ovary when fertilization fails to happen mestrual bleading happens it always stops when a female gets pregnant ,menstrual cycle ovulation the female genital system consists of one uterus to overuse vagine& externat genital organs ,,the blood during menstruation could cause diseases to spread and that’s why does a woman during her menstruation needed to isolate so the blood would not be passed around to other people & diseases not be spread that`s what god has said in quran and they ask you about menstruation say, isolate women don't come near them untill they get purified verse 222 chapter 2,why there are priests,pastors&nuns are reverted daily to islam,yet u `ve never a muslim clergy left islam as per western media said that islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,i didn`t like to push islam onto u god said no compulsion in religion verse 256 chapter 2,figure it out then make up your mind,peace....

Christianity and judaism were never together. Christianity is the Catholic religion and it was established by Christ upon the new covenant. Judaism is an antichrist religion based on the talmud that developed after 70 AD when the Roman army destroyed the temple and the jewish priesthood. The original jewish religion was the law of Moses, which was abolished by Christ. It was not called judaism. The jews who converted to Christ became Catholics. The jews who rejected Christ became enemies and persecutors of the Catholic Church.

@@redmatters9318 You obviously do not understand the reason and the context of this text you are using it in a text-proofing manner which is not a correct use of scripture. The verse is addressing the Jewish people the chosen people who were not following God's instructions and he compared their behavior worse to that of the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. We are currently living in a similar world environment today. This was so bad that god send his apostles to tell them to change their behavior. And the verse I do not bring peace but the sword is indicative of the behavior of the people It means cutting the bad away from the good. Which is justified. Furthermore Jesus The student is not above the teacher. this is exactly what we have today in the world. We need to repent and tell the people To turn back to God.

@@hermanushulsen9151 You obviously do not understand. The Tanach is our bible, not the Talmud.

As Jews ✡️ we do not believe that jesus is the messiah. The Talmud you referred to spoke of a man who was deemed a magician. The Toledot Yeshua speaks of a jesus being the son of biggus Pantera.

That’s just like slowly turning up the heat when boiling a frog. Most Christians were from the Jewish background. You don’t to give them a culture shock by getting rid of the major traditions/habits. Slowly introduce changes little by little which took hundreds of years. Same thing with early Protestants getting away from Catholicism. Traditional Anglicans and Lutherans have basically kept some Catholic traditions. The modernists have totally wiped out old Protestantism.

FULL CHARGES. TOTALLY.

sorry, but the dogmatic bases of Christianity are clearly present since the beginning - and the 'resemblance' with Judaism in that realm is very shallow

@@silveriorebelo2920 So you're saying that Christianity was an entirely new religion, which sprung up fully-formed in 1st century CE? Not connected or related to the Israelite religion that Jesus and the Apostles lived in? Possibly you are confusing late 2nd Temple Judaism with Rabbinical Judaism. Rabbinical Judaism emerged in the period 200-500CE; and is what most modern Jews follow, whether Askenazi, Sephardi, Mizrahi, etc, it's what we think of when "Judaism" is mentioned in the modern world. Christianity is quite dfferent to Rabbinical Judaism in many ways; that is true. Before the destructiion of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the forms of Jewish religion were much more diverse than they are today; many previously mainstream traditions of Judaism did not survive, except for the Pharisaical stream which eventually became Rabbinical Judaism. Jewish traditions of the late 2nd Temple period, like the Sadducees, Essenes, Zealots, and popular messianic movements, all disapeared after the Romans destroyed Jerusalem, and the Temple. Early Christianity is clearly related to some elements of these older, more diverse forms of Judaism; it builds on themes which were already present in 2nd Temple Jewish thinking.That's why, for example, the Jewish Bible (Tanakh) is included in the Christian Bible.

Thank you kindly!

Thank you!

Paul was not "antinomianism." In fact, there is significant New Testament evidence that Paul, a Pharasee, followed Torah law. Examples: He circumcised Timothy, shaved his head and took a vow, went to the synagogue on Sabbath, observed the Jewish Feasts, etc. Paul taught that salvation could not and never did come through the law. He taught that the law was good. "Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.' -Romans 7: 12

Paul stated in Acts that he still believed in the authority of the Law and the Prophets, so he was by no means an antinomian. Ppl assume that about him because they misread passages where he appears to teach against law and ignore/overlook the passages where he clearly teaches adherence to the Law or reinforces its authority.

The Sanhedrin belongs to zdukim . This is very important to understand. Prophecies not relevant here at all.

@@KEDEMChannel Well since they're God's prophecies, they're relevant to everyone in creation......whether or not they feel that they are relevant.

@@arthouston7361 we respect your believes 👍

@@KEDEMChannel I think more importantly we need to respect the fact that God had a plan, and knew exactly what would happen when the messiah fulfilled the prophecies and presented himself to the leadership. Remember all of the times that they were referred to as a "stiff- necked people," meaning that they did not find the ability in themselves to bow their head. They strayed from God like lost sheep, and were brought back and strayed again, and were brought back and strayed again...... and this is because they are human. When God describes the nation of Israel as his chosen people, what often does not get asked is, "chosen for what?"...and one of those reasons is to show us all that we are caught in a trap of sin. Our messiah is the only way to escape that sin, because there is no good work... no observation of feasts or holy days...or respect for hundreds of laws.... that is capable of taking away our sin. Instead, the blood on the lentels during passover came from a spotless lamb, which is a vision of the future for the shed blood of the Messiah..... the only sacrifice that can permanently remove and forgive our sin. Just as God provided Abraham with a sacrifice, be also provided a sacrifice for us.

Exactly. Years of scholarship are fruitless without this simple understanding. Christianity and Rabbinic Judaism are not brothers, they are diametrically opposed.

Glad it was helpful!

Can you elaborate on your statement "a response to Jesus making fun of the Pharisees by doing a playword on פ-ר-ש which is the same root of Pharisees and excrement" not being familiar with Hebrew I am not sure about what you are trying to share.

Yes, is anyone able to say where in the New Testament it occurs?

@@whitepanties2751 See Matthew 15 : 10-12

Jesus spoke Aramaic, He only heard ancient Hebrew in the temple and understood it as the liturgical language. Ancient Hebrew differs from modern Hebrew and Ancient Aramaic. Matthew 15 v10-12 I very clear, Jesus is teaching that kosher food isn't what makes one unclean, it's vile language which makes one unclean. Today Samaritans still speak/use Ancient Hebrew.

@@SaintCharbelMiracleworker ​ @Saint Charbel Miracleworker You're not coming up with anything new or original, you're just regurgitating things that have already been spoken and heard a thousand times. We know next to nothing on the historical Jesus and can only speculate based on what little we have, yet you speak as if you met him in person, which is absurd. Explicit references to what language was spoken such as in Acts 26 : 14 say Hebrew explicitly, not Aramaic, and from sayings and other indicators, it is very likely that if Jesus existed, he spoke Hebrew. There are implicit references in the text for Aramaic, but we don't know if that is just due to the way the text was written and passed down rather than reality. The Greek text in the form we have today is not the same as the original Hebrew/Aramaic text, and even that is not the same as actual history and reality.

I hope at some point you will realize that if the Jews were to have received their prophesied kingdom, they would have received it in the first century and Jesus’s promise to return before they died would’ve been fulfilled (Matthew 16:28 KJV) Obviously (to me anyway) their refusal to acknowledge the very Son of God as their long-awaited Messiah was the end of their chances to receive it! Today it’s extremely difficult to find a true Hebrew and those that call themselves Jews are descendants of Eastern European converts to Judaism, and their customs and culture are Yiddish. I think people overlook the fact that everything changed after Acts 28:28-31 when former Diana-worshipping pagans believed the gospel and in so doing, they (or God actually) changed the trajectory of salvation from that point on until the appearing of Jesus Christ (Colossians 3:4 KJV). There’s a reason that Paul never quotes from the Old Testament again after Acts closed at Acts 28:31; and he never again mentions Israel receiving her kingdom (although he does mention a kingdom, Colossians 1:13 KJV, he does not refer to it as a kingdom in which Israel has the preeminence; it has now become the kingdom of God’s dear Son. God does not owe Israel (even if it really existed) anything after he sent them his Son and let them conspire to have him killed, and then even after he rose from the dead in an offer to be their national Kinsman Redeemer, they still spurned his offer, preferring like always to do it themselves! That defiance resulted in the loss of everything they were so proud of and there is no indication from scripture that they’ll get a do-over! All humans are Gentiles today no matter what they choose to call themselves and all are eligible to accept the gift of eternal life - Ephesians 2:8&9 KJV - a gospel with absolutely no strings attached! Leave your own righteousness out of it! We need to make this fantastic free offer of a paradise beyond our wildest dreams known to the world at large! Please help spread the good news!

@@dfkuz - I know that you are well meaning. You just happen to be wrong in your assessments. Your assertions are of mixed truthfulness. The foundations of your “Replacement Theology” are flawed. There is some truth in it them. But the whole truth is not in your thought process. You have left out so much of Biblical prophecy, that you could rightly be accused of treating the Word of God like a pick & choose buffet. A comprehensive & actual discernment of the Word requires that we take the full counsel of God’s Word into account, even the passages that refute our pet doctrines. There are so many passages still left to be fulfilled that expressly are about Israel, Jacob & even the Jews (Judeans). The entire Book of Zechariah comes to mind. Paul addresses the eventual return of Israel to the Lord in 3 chapters of Romans (that being a remnant, no doubt). Remember the “temporary blindness” concerning the Jews (Judeans actually). A large portion of Jews did become believers (it appears that these were largely the Biblical Literalists that we call Essenes). Again, Dr Johnson’s work is shedding even more light on the subject than what we already knew. Remember that the earliest persecuted Church was made up almost entirely of Jews. The current state of Israel is fulfilling many Biblical Prophecies today! 50 (from one book) that I’ve read. If these folks are not Jews, they sure are inadvertently fulfilling a lot of prophesy. And, yes, Amen. Jesus Christ is our Salvation. This is true for both Jew & Gentile. Look into the Biblical Feasts of Leviticus 23. There is prophecy in Type & Shadow of our Lord’s Redemptive Plan -all spelled out for us to see! Why did the established State Roman Church forbid the celebration of these Mo’edim almost as soon as it came to political power? Tares were in charge!

@@stevent8314 I appreciate your time and zeal! We need more zeal in those that take the Bible seriously and I can sense that you have a heart for God’s (former) chosen people, Israel. If you know your scriptures and I know you do, then you are well aware of the fact that Satan wants to be “like the Most High and he also wants to deceive as many people as he can in order to prevent them from coming to a knowledge of the truth and to ultimately perish. He knows that if he can draw our focus to Israel and their prophecy, that can cause weaker Bible students to become more legalistic just because Israel’s program was legalistic. When I did believe in a “pre-trib rapture” (and I believed in it so much that I wrote a novel based on it that got picked up by a publisher), I was taught that the rapture was signless and like a thief in the night and that Israel’s prophecy would not begin to be fulfilled until after the Christians were gone! All of a sudden that belief has gone out the window and people on KZfaq are filling the airwaves with the SIGNS that we are in the END TIMES or really close to them! Speaking of Satan, did you know that many of the Jews in Israel and other places around the world are Kabbalistic Jews that also study Zohar in which it secretly teaches that Satan created God? Yes, many Jews are taught that and then there also a lot of Jews that are complete atheists and just enjoy the status they have with America’s evangelicals. So with Satan firmly planted in the midst of modern-day Israel, it’s not surprising that he might counterfeit certain events and use them to promote the idea that either the Messiah will soon appear (to the Jews) or that the signs are being fulfilled for the real Messiah to return. Either way, Israel profits from all the attention. Make a buck, keep a buck. Yes, the redemptive plan of God’s Son is painted in broad strokes all over the Old Testament and even in the stars in their constellations. It’s a shame that enough of his people didn’t recognize him so he could establish their kingdom at his first coming. I always ask people that insist Israel will still get their kingdom, why did Jesus break his clear promise to return before the lifetime of his followers was over in passages like Matthew 16:28 KJV? Why did Paul declare that some of them which are alive and remain would see the second coming along with their resurrected fellow believers that had died beforehand, in 1 Thessalonians 4:17? Two failed prophecies of the second coming of Christ! And no explanation really. Where does Paul reassure his churches that these prophecies will be fulfilled in the distant future? Paul never speaks of a kingdom specifically for Israel ever again after Acts 28. He barely mentions the word, Israel! He does speak of a kingdom of God’s dear Son (Colossians 1:13 KJV) but that doesn’t sound like a kingdom where Israel will have the preeminence; it sounds like a kingdom given to the Son for him to enjoy with those he wants with him in it - his fellow heirs (Ephesians 3:6 KJV, which will probably be the Jewish saints from since the world began, the Greeks added to Israel’s program for to provoke the Jews to jealousy (Deut 32:21 & Romans 11:11 KJV because they were authentic believers in Christ. Then comes the surprise last minute guests to the party that will last for all eternity - the pagan Gentiles that had had “no hope of God in the world because they (and you and me) were @strangers from the covenants of promise” and “aliens from the commonwealth of Israel” (the very opposite of the Greek Gentiles in Acts) who suddenly believed the gospel of Jesus Christ in fulfillment of Acts 28:28 KJV. I secretly think that we were slated to occupy all those empty seats that should have had Jews in them but won’t! Israel’s loss is our gain! If you can show me anywhere in Paul’s post-Acts letters where he speaks to his brethren the Jews with reassurance and hope that they will still receive that kingdom of their very own, I will rethink this, but if Jesus can fail to keep his promise in Matt 16:28 and in Matthew 10:23, then it just logically follows that he can just as easily decide to not fulfill all of the other prophecies if his second coming in glory to the nation of Israel. He will return but the program for the play has been revised due to lack of interest in the part of those he died for as their Kinsman Redeemer.

Read the story again. Jesus is ENDORSING the death penalty (John 8:1-12). Deuteronomy 17:7 calls for the witnesses to cast the first stone. The guilt, in the event the accused was falsely convicted, falls on the one who testifies as witness to the crime, instead of on the community. Perjury required the liar to receive the punishment the person falsely accused would have received (Deuteronomy 19:16-19). He's telling the Pharisees, who have brought this woman they claim was caught in the act of adultery into the Temple court to trap him, that if they've got the goods and their witness(es) have clean hands, go ahead and execute her. Read John 7 for the setup. The Pharisee leaders were upset with the Temple police because they hadn't arrested Jesus, so they devised a trap. Chapter 7 shows a lot of controversy swirling around Jesus with a lot of speculation about who he was. Some even wanted to kill him. The Pharisees dismissed him and his Galillean followers as a bunch of rubes who didn't know the Law. They were calling them the ancient equivalent of today's deplorables, so the Pharisees set out to prove it and, at a minimum, hold Jesus up to ridicule and show him to be a false or uneducated Torah teacher whose followers would then abandon him. There are several reasons I believe the text shows the woman was not an adulteress in fact. First, if she had been caught doing this crime, by what authority do Pharisees drag her off as an exhibit in their debate with this Galillean teacher instead of taking her to authorities who can administer her punishment? Second, how do you bring an impure woman -- ritually impure because of recent sexual activity and morally and legally impure because of her adultery -- into the Temple precinct? Sexual intercourse rendered the man and woman unclean until evening (Leviticus 15:18). Surrounding the Temple Mount today are remains of mikvahs -- ritual bathing pools that all were required to enter to attain ritual purity before ascending the Mount . That couldn't be bypassed. Third, when the Pharisees -- defeated by Jesus -- depart, they leave this allegedly guilty woman behind. The point of their trap had been to show that Jesus would not uphold the Law. The Pharisees were scrupulous about keeping the Law, and we're supposed to believe they suddenly lost interest in seeing that the Law's requirements were carried out with this woman they claimed was caught in the act? Nope -- the woman was a shill. She was part of the Pharisees' plot to entrap Jesus. Their scheme fell apart when Jesus called their bluff by following the Law precisely when he told them to have their witness(es) execute her. They weren't prepared to do that -- she was innocent of the false charge and executing her would have made them subject to the same death penalty. So, caught in their own trap, they filed off. Note the fact their order of departure was from eldest to youngest, showing that this was an organized drill. So, now it's just the woman and Jesus (plus the crowd he was teaching), and he asks where are her accusers. There are none, she replies. Once again, Jesus -- Torah faithful -- tells her he doesn't condemn her. Without witnesses willing to back up their testimony by casting the first stone at the potential cost of their own life, no accusation remained against the woman. There was nothing to adjudicate ... except her participation in the Pharisee's fraudulent scheme. That was the sin Jesus told her to not do again.

If that's your takeaway of Christ's intentions, then you need to read what He says in Matt. 5:17 that no one was to even think that He came to oppose Moses. Christ offering the woman an out on account of the religions leaders trying to trap Him wasn't the same as Him opposing Moses, which is why He told her not to sin any more. She was 100% guilty, but He didn't allow them to use it against Him.

@@JonJaeden You need to be honest. Tell the world of your secret discover of time traveling. That is the real reason you know the woman was part of the trap for Jesus. You went back to that moment in time. You were there!!!!!!

@@johndefalco7454 One could wish that was possible. Alas, we're stuck with having to actually read the story and weigh all the evidence. You might want to try it.

First time I've heard this and it rings true.

You cannot logically square this false assumption with Paul plainly stating in Rom. 3:31 that all of the apostles were upholding the authority of the law. This would naturally include himself. You also cannot reconcile this false assumption with him stating in Eph. 4:17-19 where he also plainly explains why Christians are not supposed to live like Gentiles.

ABSURD, THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH/STATE, STOLE A RELIGION CALLED JUDAISM, USED A SAMARITAN/BENJAMITE/GENTILE,/APOSTLE NAMED PAUL, ROMANS 11:1..AND HIS LETTER'S..TO START A GREECO/ROMAN STATE CHURCH, WHICH?????..THEN HAD A SCHISM OF PROTESTANT FOLLOWERS, UNDER ANOTHER LEADER, LUTHER/CALVIN, TO START A PROTESTANT REVOLT/REFORMATION,...THESE PROTESTANT'S..THEN BROKE OFF TO START 40,000 DIFFERENT BLENDS, CULTS, CLICKS, GROUPS..PENTECOSTAL, APOSTOLIC, BAPTIST, LUTHERAN, PRESBYTERIAN, 7TH DAY ADVENTIST, DUTCH REFORM, AMISH, JW, MORMONS. METHODICAL, ETC..WITH EACH OF THESE RELIGIOUS CLUBS, HAVING THEIR OWN SET OF RULES, TULIPS, HOT/COLD, ON/OFF,..PRE TRIB, MID TRIB, POST TRIBULATION, NO TRIBULATION, ALL ARE JUST A CORRUPTION OF JUDAISM, HOLY BIBLE THE TaNakh, AND ITS SACRED SCRIPTURE'S A DAMNATION, TO ABBA SHULI HU'MELECJ HA'OLAM HA'KADOSH BARUCH...return to the Father God, Elohim, REPENT of the wickedness, you've inherited lies, grab the Arm of a Jew. and ask him to teach you the TRUTH!!!

The imperialistic judean oligarchs cant accept the empowering teachings of Yashua Adonai Immanuel from the Aegean culture.

Jesus Christ never existed, he was an invention of Paul. There was a man Yeshu_ of Nazara (as found in the Q source), an itenerate Jewish prosylite of Johanan the immerser who died and Yeshu took partial control of his movement. What you see as Christ in the new testament is full of christological contradictions that grew over time. Paul thought Jesus gained Messianic status through his crucifixion, and that he had a new form 'divine breath'. All this crap about emuculate conception or the logos came a century or so later. Read More, study more.

The fulfillment was reversed engineered.. so to speak

Thank you!

that's belief, not scholarship. and she's a scholar

@@robertsoslow733 what is belief? Everything I wrote is historical fact. She's a scholar, I'm a scholar, you are a scholar, we all are scholars. The question is which scholar is using facts to explain their answer and which is using suppositions and conjecture? If there is something I wrote that you need a deeper explanation for, ask.

@@broz1488 Your source is your Bible. A scientist, for example, would never use that as a source text. The Bible was written by many different people with different opinions over a long period of time. So, how can it be used as fact? And please understand that I DO respect your beliefs. It just that belief and fact are different.

@@robertsoslow733 the Bible can be used as a factual document on its own merit. Every historical event recorded in the Bible has been verified by archeology. Every scientific claim made by the Bible has been verified by science. Every medical statement made by the Bible has been verified by medical science. There is no book written by man more accurate than the Bible. If the Bible says up and another book says down, science will prove the Bible correct. The Bible has proven itself to be so accurate, that every theory of man can be run past the Bible to be verified it as true or false. You would think by now that people would get over their God phobias and hangups, and recognize the Bible for the litmus test for truth that it is.

@@broz1488 Did you think she based her arguments on suppoaition and conjecture? Have you read the same texts so that you can determine how strong those sources were? I didn't, but I'm curious about you.

You're very welcome!

Many thanks!
