Letters: Questions face rabbis and scholars of Judaism

Question 1: On the question of Jewish schism

Dear Rabbi … Can you tell me if it was before the schism of the Jewish temple was originally located on Mount Gerizim and David then decided to move to Jerusalem? It seems that the Samaritans are actually at home and the Jews are the true Jews, the Protestants?

Dear students … in the first five books of the Torah on Mount Gerizim as the place of the injured, mentioned the place of God. (You can use the Knowledge Center Search article in this issue).

There is no mention of Jerusalem as a holy place. Jerusalem was built by King David 400 years after entry into the Holy Land. No one ordered him to do.

He started for political reasons, he wanted to unite the whole people of Israel under his rule. And then there was the holy place.

If God chose this place?

And he waited 440 years after Israel entered Canaan.

Best regards … Rabbi

Question 2: In the case of the Gospel

What is the

literary standpoint, the Four Gospels (Gospels) placed?

It seems obvious that the written pseudepigrahae four by a unique individual and that for a period of 30 years (ie.70 Ad – 100AD).

The first of the Gospels come almost immediately after the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem. It seems that this book was written by a winner of the Jewish doctrine, or at least Jewish literature and is therefore, this source of inspiration for his work.

This is Pseudepigrapha messianic literature on biblical themes, but ambiguity and contradiction in gasoline is a mythological base stands.

The author expresses his intention by the literature is a Messianic longing, that is, he is interested in the creation of the Messiah or mechanical, in the life and history of the messianic event

.

Or is it an unlawful refusal even unconscious command of the mosaic, it is not to conjure up an image of God

?

his letter, the author seems to want to create the same project in the history of his existence and the Messiah.

This kind of satirical and ironic nostalgia around the characters of Jesus and Mary enchanted with messianic flavor. Ironic, because the Messiah have to wait.

nostalgic aspect is effective for the addition of spices, the prophetic scenario.

Construction literary satire is to develop a complete reversal of history, as the candidate of the Jesus story was described as a multiple of Flavius Josephus in his Jewish conflict in fact either a thief or a murderer, brutal and Maria’s story as of Josephus described literally eats half of her son and the other half holds for a later meal.

satirical literature must add, is the fashion event of the Book of the Gospels. From Greece and Rome, etc., with Horace diffusion … It was the preferred vehicle for the expression of grief. Historian Herodotus, Josephus, Livy and Plutarch, for example, shows the history of the way and the writing of history in any way to express satire

.

It is clear that Josephus alludes to a bit where he was the main character in his book “The Life of Flavius Josephus.”

Here

Josephus presents his readers to its historical Jesus, Jesus of his became the Gospels.

Question 3: On the nature of the women with Mary, the mother of the Hierophant

It might seem that the mother of Christ would be the public

Then, when all is that the aspect is the symbolic vector of meaning.

The miracle of birth would be a symbolic expression of the ontology of women, all you need.

So the question is perhaps the author has achieved?

the Gospel story reveals about Mary, but only in motherhood is seen as a woman with intent, and can not women in general and not about the tongue. <-A> we will only occur with some skepticism that this other than a beneficial effect on the voting rights of women in a general state, a Regent has noted.

Granted, this greatly improved the status of a queen, but would be unfavorable, was a weapon against the same ironic Jews Josephus suggests that under the guise of various Protestant rulers

.

evidence thus a stereo-typing instead of improving the social perception of women.

The Gospel of Josephus is an obstacle and betrayal. The trial, public opinion, dangerous and reckless jeopardous

motivate

improvise a mother of the Messiah, the idea was queen is easier and more historically, this was not catalytically active

Question 4. On the approval of

the Gospels

wonders if the four Gospels are of the same person, why is it written, they were so different

answer is that they may each with a period of ten years between the writing of this writing. At a distance of ten years the person has enough time to advance the text, each with a different perspective. It is necessary to take into account that four conditions to justify have written the Gospel

1. “Interest, the author should have a direct interest in creative writing have to know of the impending expansion of his church, he could be some cohesion contextualization

supply.

2 Free Time, the author would have used enough free to focus time and resources and write the documentation

.

3 education, the author would need a comprehensive knowledge of the object that is the history and the writings of the Hebrews

.

4 Authority, the author would have the authority have been needed to write his work

.

not matter what, or perhaps it would be allowed, controversial material that could interfere with a close community .

points Sadducees permission, a priest whose job is the daily and occasional sacrificial rite now definitely out of the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem. is retired

/ p> Question 5: On the intention of the Gospels

What are the intentions justify the design of Gospel writings

intentionalities two . can comment on an individual and the collective other

1 is the first escape is purely cathartic, actually turns out the idea of a Messiah, to avoid any doubt. the author face to face with a situation can sympathize with, which is clearly evident on his skills

face observation of nature can. Historically, with author constantly ongoing, endless war and hatred. justify

The intensity of the historical context of tax assessment.

while spirals in a different context, tax evasion in vice and slip

The pattern of avoidance, a paradoxical search for normality and humanity;. aspect, a recording of the pattern of tax evasion as a vehicle for a return to man and virtuous in the middle of Chaos

.

fact, if we compare the true story of the Gospel, the contrast extreme.

The historic unveiled a war zone, where only unpublished hysteria then, that the Gospels a fantasy dream describe idyllic, except for a brief torture and crucifixion.

2 is the second line collectively and strategic, that the priest is the guardian and assumed responsibility for the community.

As a result of vital interest creating a sort of portable temple sacrifice and.

The dispersed community could disappear gradually, without his constant presence.

Also, the Community may apply to the Messiah with them during their propagation.

/ p> This idea has been with the mass of the Jesuits by Paul III, a portable rite could across the borders of the church and the missionaries to take them to exotic countries celebrate developed revisited.

Obviously, the Gospels never existed, when the Temple was never destroyed. The writing of the Gospels may have a variety of intent.

the disappearance of the temple, where he observed an individual attempting . to deal with the promise of a Messiah with immanent and imminent failure

Question 6: On the uniqueness of the Gospel of Jesus

What is the doctrine or traditional Judaism you think worthy of the following genealogy? answer from a genealogy question show some real integrity and thus appears to be a compelling value

The Matthew ———– ——————————

1.01 The book of the history of Jesus Christ the Son of David, the son of Abraham Abraham begat Isaac, 1:02, Isaac begat Jacob, Jacob begat Judah and his brothers. 1:03 begat Phares and Zara of Thamar Judas begat Phares Esrom, Esrom begat Aram; 01:04 begat and begat Aram Aminadab Nahshon Aminadab; Nahshon begat Salmon, and Salmon begat Booz of Rahab 01:05; Boaz begat Obed, and Ruth, and Obed begat Jesse, 01:06 ET Jesse was the father of King David, and David 01:07 Rehoboam the father of Solomon, and Rehoboam begat Abijah, Abia begat Asa begat Josaphat 01:08 And Asa begat Josaphat Joram, Joram begat Ozias and Uzziah begat, begat Solomon of her that was the wife of Uriah 01:09 Jotham, Ahaz and Jotham begat, begat Ahaz, and Hezekiah begat Manasseh, Manasseh the father of Hezekiah 1:10 And Josias begat Amon Amon, 1:11 And Josias begat Jechonias and his brothers when they were swept Babylon: 1:12 And after they were brought to Babylon, the father of Jechonias Salathiel, Salathiel fathered Zerubbabel, Zerubbabel, and begat and begat Eliakim 01:13 Abiud Abiud and begat Eliakim Azor, Azor begat Zadok 1:14 and Zadok had Achim, Achim begat Eliud, Eliud begat Eleazar, and 1:15, and Eleazar begat Matthan; Matthan begat Jacob and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary 01:16 in which Jesus is called the Christ. born was 1: 17 All the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen, and fourteen from the exile to Babylon to Christ generations ———–. —– ———————————- p —

1st These are the Gospels and theological history.

2 Man theology could with a genealogy that Jesus came from David States shall, even if it is fictitious.

4 it is possible that none of the genealogy is correct, but the genealogy is the second reason.

We say that the author not to other . intend but could prose

Question 7: On the authorship of the Gospels

So, who the Gospels written

We believe that the sole author of the four Gospels was Flavius Josephus.

Brochures he wrote 10 years apart around the years 70, 80, 90 and up at the end of his life is 100

.

1 in the year. The author had free time to write the Gospels.

2, the author had the rare ability and competence to leave his various works.

3, the author has a great knowledge of Jewish custom.

fourth, the author uses the name Joseph as the literal Messianic Father Mathew and the author of the first Gospel.

5 The author is very sympathetic, causing the novel.

6 The author is distance and protection of the Jewish Agency.

7, the author openly criticized the temple and the Jewish Agency.

8 Josephus was constantly on the lookout the rest of Judaism vis-à-vis the Old World.

9th Josephus is careful not some historical books with fictional plants pollute as is the case in the conflict of the Jews. “originally written in Aramaic for the Jews living in Mesopotamia, written after the diaspora. Disputes Jews The Antiquities of the Jews, compared, where historical accuracy is more interpretive

10 The letter from the Gospels does exactly the life of Josephus … 36-100 AD

11 . The methodology and technology of the Gospels in the work of Josephus Against Apion says, “and especially his” Life of Flavius Josephus. “

12 It seems that the Gospels a kind of point-cons, the true story of the Jews and that it Flavius Josephus (Joseph ben Mattathias), the author of the Gospel.

13 The Gospels show a kind of vanishing point in the religious life of the author, an action of some relevance, the audacity of cause and effect. Clearly shows that parallelism, the author was in his element extrusion on the search for meaning.

14 Flavius Josephus was within ten years of living in both Plutarch in Rome, we can easily be argued that reading together. It is easy to see a direct parallel between the events in the life of Josephus and the Gospels, the Apostle Peter refers to this episode of the betrayal of Joseph Jotapata. The Jesus of the Gospels calls attention to the incident

Sepphoris.

himself said Paul is probably referring to Josephus

a. Pharisees.

b. Sequestration by the Romans.

v. life in Rome.

d. resentment against the Jewish population since the suicide.

15 Josephus sign of the Messiah is not Jewish either the name of Jesus is of Roman origin, rather than appointing a Jew, a Jewish model.

Question 8: In the case of religion as Roman

So, why Josephus invent a new religion Or did he just do the old completely? Religion

antithesis was the new religion that invented the Gospels.

The destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem and the total dispersion of the Jewish community withdrew some vacuum that needed to be filled.

This will reveal the origin of the Gospels hylomorphic. I should add that originally expressed interest in Josephus, the Jewish sects, and perhaps with a little persuasion gave birth to the four Gospels.

Ironically, these documents that prove once again, the end of the Roman Empire and a critical philosophy of religion.

In addition, it is conceivable that Josephus soaked only stay in Rome between the Romans and in Roman Culture, said his Jewish heritage in the presentation of this heritage was interested intimately associated with.

This paragraph explains how to be artificially inserted in the center of historical text “Jewish Antiquities” and where the interpolation is a messianic figure presents are two possible scenarios verisimilar

1. That the author of the Christians took over the responsibility for a historic debate Messiah literally, to help preserve and strengthen his own conviction or puzzle then curiously through the projection in society and in all such indoctrination lecturer.

2 Or it is equally conceivable that Josephus was himself, who was in possession of the rare text to open his own handwriting again, a historical and compossibility unimpaire include and promote its satirical Quazi Gospels.

Question 9: What a concept seeks to impose on the public imagination and a quest for power

It is an analysis that describes a basic motivation or rudimentary.

1 Suspicion (universal): The hero of the story seems vulnerable expressed hesitation as axiological universal

This suggests the creation of understandable ..

2 Jealousy (generalization): The author weaves his text with a hasty generalization, imagery and symbolism modulation simultaneously with the ancient world. This suggests clearly is not only an awareness of the world, but the interest for some.

3 Scorn (individual): The hero employs miracles and the sufferings that the technology reach to its manifestation, which shows a disregard ontological

4. Shame (Honours): The Temple a world view and some of them reflected his respect for the company, focuses on the author a personal defeat. Losing omnificent this structure may be the operator of the satirical genre.

Question 10:. Of the four victims of the Gospels

IT is not at all clear that the Gospels did not help the Jews to better appreciate Judaism?

The Gospels have a devastating effect when he went into the hands of people outside the community. among other incidents, the Spanish Inquisition and later interrogation by the gentile faith

The first victim of personal responsibility and guilt, because God has perpetuated the criminal’s ability to justify evil, thus neglecting the potential of man.

The second victim is the Creator, for God is no longer in sight.

The world can not be equated with the universal manifestation of designers and personal development. The creator is understood that the teleological effectiveness and destination of the world.

The third victim is a true semiotic concept of the afterlife eliminates the rest, the essential character of the main and most important of existentiality.

The fourth victim was the foundation, because the consistency of novelty and coherence of the doctrine is degraded by the exploitation, for the world now has no absolute value.

Question 11: On the Philosophy of Religion

Gospels Have requires an authentic philosophy of religion?

The main effect would be abolished and intimidate the philosophy of religion to the point where those who dare to have to speculate about the nature of the divine on a complete individual.

prevent the supremacy of revealed religion, the extinction of any speculation about the nature and potential of

God did.

literature, he student should seek an explanation to the people and not expect the author that the author has to offer to all historical contingencies.

1. An original philosophy of religion, the definition

God.

None other than the true theologian is the natural vocation of always establishing such a final. The man is by nature not a theologian, philosopher, ergo but the philosophy of religion.

It is, of course, presumptuous to invent God.

2 Philosophy of religion is essentially phenomenological.

An original philosophy of religion categorically excludes any hermeneutics

Dieu.Par Therefore, a definitive causal

modality that is under observation, with established parameters of the gods of productivity necessary.

where productivity volunteers for the Creator, the productivity of enterprises in the creation.

3 Outlaw is the refusal of a confession of God, the one where the logic is demanding;. So admittedly

The opposite is also true interest with an improvisation of the idea of God, under those agreements or selective.

4 The intrinsic difference between theology and philosophy of religion, that of perception. Theology deals with the world according to God’s will, the real from the inside, so that a verifiable approach.

The philosophy of religion deals with the function of the divine world, the real from the outside, so that a visual approach.

Question 12:. On four puzzle problem with a conference of the Gospels literally unanswered

1. The adoption of the evil being whose God is the prime contractor.

This term suggests incontrovertibly a conference of an irresponsible God, without saying it.

hypocrisy inherent in the will, not alienation related hypocrisy comes in two copies, are: a

) intrinsic not want to do we do and to do

b) extrinsic, what you do not do

.

2 The mechanism of the Gospel of forgiveness is a contradiction in God.

The concept of the grace of God leads inevitably deculpabilization radicalization criminal and human potential ergo ad man’s responsibility in it.

denial-of-power reduced intrinsic efficacy Divine.

To forgive is to be taken literally to the delegate said. God would make a criminal for the crime itself is a logical necessity.

Where metaphysics straightness commits an etiological analysis and appropriate.

3 The idea of heaven is probably the effect of subtracting the creator of the ordinary. World Development is not necessarily synonymous with the realization of the divine as it should.

4 Tripping on the fact that a messiah powerless, even if true, ambiguity and contradiction between creation and creator of the obvious need of a miracle to close the gap and support the logic of the world completely.

Question 13: Of the first principles on the Philosophy of Religion

<. / P> What are the immutable principles first when it comes to basics like the philosophy of religion?

It seems to be a quaternary logic to school first.

1. This is the essence of the concept of God is first and foremost a philosophical necessity

.

simple idea of a God is a dynamic philosophical and moral. what is the exit strategy for the personal vices of presumption

2 It is the existence of God is effective

.

Hypocrisy has two types to do the

a) what we do and do not want to do is

b) do not want to do what they do.

The student has to take account of this and avoid any suggestion that the world is not what God wants.

3 It is the insistence

The world is in fact and in reality the working life of God.

a) So, anything that can be raised, is an expression of excellence gods.

b) One important factor is the necessary symmetry between creation and Creator, a partial understanding of a concept is a partial binding of the other, and it is a big gap with the rise of Jewish sects that theism, as a conceptual perfection doubt is held.

The doctrine of these sects, which is a world wants to present in conflict with the Creator, ergo the futuristic vision that drives the cult.

4 The gift God can speak for themselves

.

student of philosophy of religion in all things must enable the sovereign expression of God, without trying to emerge to get there.

The Creator is responsible for himself, is that the kind of responsibility.

Question 14:. In view of the Protestant sects

Dear Rabbi, I think that theism was and remains the original Judaism.

evolved from two major Protestant denominations, especially Christianity and Islam, and any later, with all its sects. He seems to eventuate in an acceptance of others and perhaps to accept any other religious system.

The world has lost

the fact that the original and was Judaism.

So why not ask all these systems to the original meanings of the treatment of such systems, is protesting that they would convert?

is it ontologically to think too much of sects such as the possession of autonomy swing a bit like the person on the bottom of a well, he should at least recognize them as anything more to a Jewish sect.

Dear students, because even though Christianity and Islam are both on the principles of Judaism, they believe they have set completely superseded Judaism. Her faith is so deeply rooted that they are not even willing to examine their roots now so intellectually honest.

Dear Rabbi, “so I think we refine our understanding so that what you have done is obvious, and the solution must be to recognize these systems as possible retrograde philosophy of religion, because they do not contribute to the true one. Dear students, according to Wise is the only way we can succeed at doing it by all the Jews who so far from their heritage. If we can do to stop that other world religions question the validity of Judaism. Dear Rabbi, I see religion as an intrinsic aspect of human potential and, if so, those relating to the validity of Judaism and the question of theism and religious philosophy question. We consciously compromise your own potential as a religious being. Moreover, they are radically at risk than someone who really values of religion as a means and method to escape at last to the inherent human presumption. Dear students, I agree with you

Question 15. In view of the Protestant sects and Judaism in particular key

Dear Rabbi, when did I say?

What is Judaism?

a) an attitude or belief.

b) A culture or society.

c) A history or politics.

d) A country or place.

e) an army or a fad.

f) a science or methodology.

g) None of the answers.

Judaism pure theism is eternal and Judaism Judaism first theism theism is. Protestantism imagine the need for a secondary function as if there is an error in the statement offensive.

Orthodox Judaism accepts emergency depends intrinsically on the proportionality between the Creator and creation, without it can provide a comprehensive picture from the others, so this is your idea of creation will be limited based on your assumption of the Creator

Question 16th. What the cults Moshiach

Dear Rabbi, Tell me please if messianism is essential for Judaism, because it seems only a possibility, and the responsibility of the to fulfill a tool systems of many Protestant?

Dear Students,

Belief in the coming of the Mashiach, the (a man of flesh and blood) and the ultimate redemption in Indeed, a fundamental belief in Judaism. In Judaism, it is presumed to be our guide bar mitzvot and good deeds that we are now in a position to the ultimate redemption.

modern scholars that the messianic concept was later in the History of Judaism at the time of the Prophet introduced.

You may notice that the messianic concept is not explicitly mentioned anywhere in the Torah (first five books> Bible )… The Torah contains several references to “the end of time” (ha-Yamim Sharif), where time is of the Messiah, and the concept of the Messiah was known in ancient times

.

Dear Rabbi, so what can be understood from this is that the idea of the Messiah, a description of the potentiality of the human existential sense ergo (mitzvot) (ha-Yamim Sharif), ie that the realization of man and the fact that the real potential is inevitable.
