Peace Sister,
i believe your original statement that i was referring to was that you didn't know of any documents relating to the original gospels being in Hebrew. figuring brother Izak, would chime in, i included a Jewish source.
the books, deal directly with the issue of the "Hebrew"ness of the original gospel. i assumed i was giving you the information that you were looking for.:-\
there's also another book
Yeshua A Guide to the Real Jesus and the Original Church by Dr. Ron Moseley; as well another entitled "They Loved The Torah" or something. but, i can't seem to find it 'round here
I must confess that I am sometimes amazed at the things which good sincere individuals post that they don't believe in, thinking that in doing so they are challenging one of my long held Christian beliefs. Over half the time, I don't believe in those things either. I think people are often just happen to be misinformed as to what it is that Christians do and don't believe.
hmmm, that's a two parter actually. the reason that i'm aware of those books is that i own them and have read them. i DO believe that Jesus/Yeshua/Isa(as) WAS the Jewish Messiah! don't think there's much debate about it (well, except with our Jewish brethren! :okay: ). Islam ALSO agrees with that!
the second part though, tbh, is pro'lly true. not, because i'm a Muslim now, but because i've been challenging alot of those beliefs for decades now. not because they are YOUR beliefs, but because they are ANY "Christians" beliefs. i've had these discussions with all my friends as well as my mother, sons, ex-wife.
don't take it so personal. i assumed you were on a Muslim board to "enlighten" Muslims as to what "you believe" Christianity is. Muslims, in general, don't take time to "study" Christiany. i HAVE! in the thread that you started about not all churches being Christian, it appears that you exclude ANY church that believes in a more "Jewish" form of Christianity. i guess i will take exception to that here, there, ANYWHERE!
i really DO recommend those books for "Christians". also the book you referred to in another thread "Who Wrote The Bible?", is AWESOME! well worth the read!
Jesus' message wasn't Jewish in "nature", it was 100% Jewish. it also agrees with the Hillel school of the Pharisees. (oh, sorry Izak ;D )
"Hold fast to what is true"
so what's true? are Christmas, Easter and Sunday worship "true"?
[editeditedit] Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah. oh my, that sounded rude.
peace,
:w:
