• Understanding Jesus: Separating Faith from Early Christian Influence

  

  If you grew up in (or are currently a member of) a protestant church, you have probably been allowed to believe that your faith has been relatively unchanged throughout the millennia. Catholicism (your church’s grand-pappy) has had a colorful history filled with all manner of exciting events among them the councils. The catholic councils would…

• Quick Thoughts Regarding Christians and the Third Temple

  

  I thought i would share this random thought that popped into my head after seeing videos published of the various American evangelical groups lobbying and preparing to construct the the third Temple of YWHW. These groups have brought us the CAD drawings for the edifice itself as well as red Heifers (supposedly without blemish), Menorahs,…

• “Hypocrite”- What One Single Word Tells Us About Jesus’ Working Years.

  

  “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!” -Matthew 23:13 When seeking more knowledge about the man that is their Messiah, Christians often focus on the last few years of his time on earth. While not specifically mentioned in the Bible, we can find clues about who the man was by examining…

• Political Intrigue and the Crucifixion; First-Century Watergate. Part Two: Changing Money.

  The scene of Jesus overturning the tables of the Temple money-changers is one of the most iconic of the New Testament. While his righteous wrath at the desecration of the Temple seems to be in line with what we know about Jesus, just about everything else in the story seems very odd. In this entry,…

• Political Intrigue and the Crucifixion; First-Century Watergate. Part One: Branches and Hosannahs.

  

  The story of the last week of the life of Jesus of Nazareth is…..off. As the new convert reads of his trip into Jerusalem, they are filled with many questions…..as am I. Several aspects of the story do not make sense. In this series of posts, we will touch on a few of them as…

• Tales of Jesus…..The Woman with the Narrow Eyes

  As I have hinted at in the previous entry, there are more “gospels” than the four the Christian world are familiar with. While the church was spreading its roots both during and after his earthly ministry, the Jewish leaders all had something to say about our guy.  We aren’t too sure what they were saying…
