The Kingdom of Heaven Is Like a Seine
by Mendel Nun 

The dragnet, or seine, is the oldest type of fishing net, and its was used extensively on the Sea of Galilee in the time of Jesus. Jesus used the seine allegorically to describe the kingdom of Heaven. Israel's most famous fisherman, Mendel Nun, describes the technique employed in fishing with a seine.[more]

  And so his disciples called him "Lord"

I apologize for the delay in my reply, but for Christ’s sake I must disagree agree with you. I certainly agree with you that the doctrine of the Trinity was codified as a foundational Christian belief in about 325 A.D. at the Council of Nicea. [more]

Did Apostle Paul rename his name from Hebrew name Shaul to Gentile name (Greek?) Paul or Paulus after his conversion (accepting Jesus as his LORD and Savior in the road of Damaskus)?

Best regards.


  Evil Figs

Do you believe Yeshua's cursing of the fig tree (Matt. 21:19) bears a prophetic foreshadowing of Jeremiah's words regarding the "evil figs" in Jeremiah 24:8-10? Notice what would happen to the "evil figs" (vv. 9-10)?

Most of us are slaves to our own appetites, emotions and thoughts. We think we are free but in reality we are controlled by our desires and feelings. Compared to the standard of God's word most of us fall short. How does true transformation come? [more]

  The "Hypocrisy" of the Pharisees
Without reading the Scriptures carefully, and without a familiarity with Second Temple-period extra-biblical sources, a simple reader of the New Testament might assume that a majority of the Pharisees were hypocrites and that the Pharisees as a movement were a "brood of vipers."


 

Jesus, Rabbi And Lord (electronic format)

In 1945, Robert L. Lindsey from Norman, Oklahoma, found himself pastor of a small Baptist congregation in Jerusalem, Israel. With his Hebrew-speaking congregants in mind, he began a translation of the Greek texts of Matthew, Mark and Luke and soon concluded there must lie behind these Gospel - even if distantly - an early Hebrew story of Jesus. To his surprise, he also found that Luke almost always showed Greek texts that could easily be translated literally to Hebrew. The same was true of Matthew, wherever he was not copying Mark's Gospel.

In 1962, Lindsey met Professor David Flusser of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and the two pursued the question of whether we can get back to the earliest Semitic story and words of Jesus.

"It is clear," say Lindsey and Flusser, "that our synoptic texts originated in a Hebrew biography of Jesus, probably written by the Matthew of tradition, which was translated to Greek. The texts of Matthew, Mark and Luke are too Hebraic to have descended from a Greek original, as many scholars mistakenly think today. Happily, if we use the right tools, we can still hear Jesus speak as his fellow Jews of the first century heard him."

Lindsey tells in this book the warm, personal account of how he and Flusser struggled over many years to discover the earliest form of Jesus' words and narrative of his life. They believe that the records, when properly analyzed and studied, show us an authentic picture of Jesus interacting with the people of Jerusalem and Galilee. Jesus clearly heads a movement, the "Kingdom of Heaven," and is a Divine figure whose actions and words are fully Messianic.
