@@yusefnegao true

@@yusefnegaoone way to look at it 😂

@@TELKX glad that made you chuckle but I’m correct perhaps you should take something for your random inappropriate laughter because it’s usually a symptom of a much larger issue

Hello Réan. In addition to many substantive additions to Scripture, there are some flat-out contradictions. For example, Jubilees says Jacob went to war with Esau and killed him. The Torah says Jacob and Esau reconciled (Gen 33). Jubilees teaches that the law existed in the Garden of Eden, the Torah teaches it was not given until Sinai (Ex 19). Jubilees says the law was recorded on heavenly tablets, the Torah teaches that the law was recorded on physical stone tablets and says nothing of heavenly tablets. RLS

@@TheBiblicalRoots thank you very much for your response. I agree that Jubilees does provide a whole lot more detail around what is written in Genesis and Exodus - but I don't agree with that these are in contradiction. With regards your example, Jubilees 29:13 states that Jacob reconciled with Esau as Gen 33 reads - it is only later on in the book that it gives the additional detail of Jacob slaying Esau because Esau and his sons pursued Jacob to kill him. The Torah, the Father's instructions, is characterised in Scripture to be eternal, which makes sense to see Jubilees referring to it been given to Adam from the start, as all of mankind is expected to adhere to it. It further explains why all the patriachs before Moses and the Mt Sinai moment followed His commandments, statutes, ordinances and regulations - like we see the example in Abraham in Gen 26:5. With regards the heavenly tablets, I don't see that being contradicting anything in Scripture. In my opinion it's a practical way the Law was preserved to be referred to and shared with those individuals on earth where see angelic interaction with them. I find the book of Jubilees to be a crucial component in understanding why certain things were done or said by those we read of in Genesis. Thanks again for your response

@@reanmouton8413 Fair enough. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, Réan. By contrast, Jewish sages and rabbis saw these things (and others) as problematic, thus, Jubilees was never accepted as part of the Jewish canon. And because it wasn't part of the Jewish canon, it wasn't adopted into the Christian canon either. Both faith traditions see contradictions and unmerited additions to the text of Scripture. One author's imaginative commentary? Sure. Inspired Scripture? No. RLS

@@TheBiblicalRoots that makes sense. At the same time, I'm very cautious to trust the decision making of these Jewish sages and rabbis, because of their alterior motives to disregard anything that confirms Yeshua as the Messiah - which is the main reason (as I understand it) why 1 Enoch was also not acknowledged by them as Scripture. O well, happy studying!!!

If the law is eternal that leaves abraham looking weird being circumsized at 99 right? And he didnt circumsize ishmael on the 8th day, but he would have known those things if the law was since the beginning. Correct me if im wrong and let me know ur thoughts! Shalom

True. It is accepted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church.

@@TheBiblicalRoots We accept it also. The original will have no contractions. Ethiopian jews accepted these books also. the western world religion seems to ignore Ethiopia for some strange reason but the Ethiopian church is older than the west in my opinion. You said jews didn't accept jubilees?Just because certain jews didn't accept books doesn't mean all jewish didn't so which jews? And which canon? the Alexandrian jews (who we align) accepted the septuagint and all the books of Maccabees. the Masoretic jews didn't. We as a Nazarene Jewish congregation are for the septuagint Not Masoretic and we hold to and and use the septuagint with all the books and not hold to the Masoretic. although we time to time may use the Masoretic we hold the Septuagint Higher. We believe in all 81 books of the bible and are more in line with the orthodox canon rather than "66"books like the protestants. so in a nutshell we align with the Alexandrian jews and ethiopic Jews. Not the Masoretic jews. The only complete text of the Book of Jubilees still extant is an Ethiopic manuscript from the sixth century AD. It contains 1,307 verses. Most scholars believe that the book was originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic. That theory is bolstered by the discovery among the Dead Sea Scrolls of fragmented Hebrew texts containing portions of the Book of Jubilees. So far, at least fifteen separate manuscripts of the Book of Jubilees have been identified at Qumran. All have been reduced to fragments (“The Dead Sea Scrolls: The Book of Jubilees,” VanderKam, J., and Morgan, S., The Missouri Review, the College of Arts & Science of the University of Missouri, 12/1/1992), and those fragments provide only about 3 percent of the total content of the book. There are also some fragments of Jubilees existing today in Greek and Latin, but nowhere near a complete book in either of those languages or in Hebrew.

@@TheBiblicalRoots another example. 3 Maccabees, also called the Third Book of Maccabees, is a book written in Koine Greek, likely in the 1st century BC in either the late Ptolemaic period of Egypt or in early Roman Egypt. Despite the title, the book has nothing to do with the Maccabean Revolt against the Seleucid Empire described in 1 Maccabees and 2 Maccabees. Instead it tells the story of a persecution of the Jews under Pharaoh Ptolemy IV Philopator (222-205 BC) in Ptolemaic Egypt, some decades before the Maccabee uprising in Judea. The story purports to explain the origin of a Purim-like festival celebrated in Egypt. 3 Maccabees is somewhat similar to the Book of Esther, another book which describes how a king is advised to annihilate the Diaspora Jews in his territory, yet is thwarted by YHWH. In 3 Maccabees, King Ptolemy IV Philopator attempts to enter the Second Temple in Jerusalem, but is rebuffed by divine power. He grows to hate Jews, and orders the Jews of Egypt assembled in his hippodrome to be executed by elephants. However, God protects the Jews, and Ptolemy's elephants trample his own men instead. Ptolemy experiences a change of heart and lets the Jews go free; the Jews establish a festival in celebration. 3 Maccabees is considered part of the Biblical Anagignoskomena (deuterocanon) By the HELLENISTIC JEWS and in the Eastern Orthodox Church and some Oriental Orthodox Churches: the Armenian Apostolic Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, and the Assyrian Church of the East. Masoretic Jews, Catholics, and Protestants do not regard it as canonical, though some (the Moravian Brethren as an example) include it in the apocrypha section of their bibles. The split dates back to the Apostolic Canons approved by the Eastern Church's Council in Trullo in 692 AD but rejected by the Western Church's Pope Sergius I. Trullo established that the first three books of Maccabees were canonical in the Chalcedonian Eastern Church. As Nazarenes we just don't follow "Protestantism" or "Catholicism" etc. We are sola scriptura with the full canon. We don't get involved with church "fathers" neither Matthew 23:9. Scriptures only.Shalom.

then why didn’t you mention that

@@Nazarene_Judaism I agree

The problem with this is that it doesn't contradict the Bible. Jasher contradicts the Bible but Jubilees doesn't.

Were you there to witness the authenticity/integrity of scripture throughout history?

I felt sick reading that book of jubilee

Remember all the times the Pharisees accused Jesus of breaking the law. He wasn't breaking the law that God gave. He was breaking the laws that the jews added that contradicted the laws God gave. Jesus schooled them everyday!!! That's why they had him killed and the other Prophets. Jesus brings up them killing Zachariah in the temple!!! And they say "we wouldn't have done what our fathers did to the prophets" admitting that their fathers did kill them. Jesus said follow scripture not man made doctrine. He was calling out the guys that later said "Don't read jubilees"

Interesting. Thank you for your comment. I love learning new things and expanding my horizons.

Hello, Alexandre. If that were the case, you have to wonder why the book of Jubilees has never been accepted in the Jewish canon of Scripture. The Jewish sages and rabbis don't agree with your assessment. Nor does the last 2,000 years of Christian teachers. Blessings! Rob

.....and there is a reason why! Just like when the leaders after Jesus resurrection didn't want anybody to know his body was missing and paid the soldiers to look the other way! Same tactics. The very leaders denying certain books are descended from those who "taught". Go figure.

Thanks, Preston! Yes, I wholeheartedly agree we need to search the Word for ourselves. We should also be aware that the Book of Jubilees is not the Word. This doesn't mean we shouldn't read Jubilees. It just means we need to keep what it says in its proper context. Blessings, RLS

In Canada they're currently trying to remove ecclesiastes from the Bible. Should we stop believing it people they are talking it out? This is what happened after Jesus died. The Pharisees (that had Jesus killed) said if you read these book you can't come to the temple anymore. Remember when Paul was killing Christians before he saw Jesus on the road and then was blind for a couple days? These are the same guys that said " Don't read Jubilees or Enoch. They still accepted them as scripture but if you scribes it or read it you would be killed.

You can, but if not even the jews or the christians accept it, why pick this as truth?

That's a great point, Luke! RLS

@@DrewTaelor1 none of us could prove that 😅 every year theyre finding new and older evidences that relate to the source texts.

@@gratefuldoge8598 God has kept his word in tact through the Jewish people. God would not contradict Himself. There is a reason, during those biblical times, certain books were not accepted by the Jews and the prophets. That book, and others, are exactly like what Mormons and Catholics have done with Christianity. The Bible alone teaches us exactly what we need to be saved. That’s what we, as followers of Yeshua, should be focused on.

Hi, Dawud. The author of Jubilees is unknown. RLS

If you read it you would see that the author is an angel and it was written down by Moses. It's literally the story of the what Moses learned when he was on the mountain for 40 days. But paper doesn't last that long so that's the point of scribes. They scribe books so that they can be passed down to the next generation.

HI Orlando! What evidence do you think supports the idea that Jesus and the apostles regarded the Book of Jubilees as authoritative? It's never quoted in the New Testament. RLS

@@TheBiblicalRoots they quoted the book of Enoch and the Catholic Church and the other church father still removed it from the Canon!!! What man can change the word of God.

@@TheBiblicalRoots in the Time of Jesus and the apostles 14 non canonical books were part of the Bible and in the council of Nicaea 325 they were removed!!! What authority does man have to change it. ???

​@@orlandovelastegui1391- The same authority that allowed men to add to it. Divine Authority.

Actually, the Book of Jubilees was written hundreds of years after the OT was written. So there are no quotes from the book of Jubilees in the OT. Best, RLS

Well, except John 1 is not a rewritten version of Genesis. John doesn't repeat the text of Genesis with additions and edits, which Jubilees does. Rather, John 1 quotes the first three words of Genesis 1 to start off a brand new text. And more importantly, John's Gospel has always been part of the canon of Christian Scripture while Jubilees has never been. Shalom, RLS

@@TheBiblicalRoots Part of the Christian scriptures. But not part of Gods word. How he created never involved someone else. Thru someone or with someone. God makes it clear he did it by himself. The Christian Bible changes this and plugs Jesus in, making God a liar.

@@Christo-pv7eb Respectfully, Christo, if you think the "Christian Bible" changes this, then you don't understand the Christian Bible. Shalom, Rob

@@TheBiblicalRoots Horrible answer. If you think John 1 doesn’t change what genesis 1 says, and plugs Jesus in where no one believed he was before, including God himself. Then you don’t understand the Christian bible.

@@TheBiblicalRoots Isaiah 44:24 I am the LORD that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. No Jesus. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Jesus confirms this. Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Jesus never says he created. John made it up as he created, as well as Paul. It’s strange how Jesus didn’t claim he’s the creator.

The Essenes were a cult which died out because of their hatred of sex and women, mostly due to their Gnostic ties. They were never larger then roughly 150 people and were never a major influence in ancient judaism
