Hebrew Voices #242 – A United Future: The New Messianic Generation: Part 1

This discussion leads to so many questions. For convention sake, I will refer to the Christian writings as the New testament. Is there an approach amongst Hebrew scholars to look at the New testament in a similar light as the tallmood or mishnah?
Is it fair to call the Christian writings the renewed Covenant?

Regarding the noncanonical gospels why they are so far-fetched. When Constantine first had his vision in won his battle, he went down to Jerusalem with his mother and obviously an army, and they started ransacking any artifacts, any papyrus any thing written about Jesus and they took everything back to Rome. They were offering a great amount of money for any and all letters. People were coming out of the woodwork offering ridiculous writings because they were being paid an exorbitant amount of money

Thank you for the discussion; I appreciated it very much. How would the term “Christianos” have sounded to a Greek-speaking non-Jew?

Max sounds like a kind and careful guy, so I suppose, he’ll be able to apply more careful consideration when pointed out the pieces of evidence for his reasoning, that currently are still missing.

I have heard a lot of opinion for sure, and it was also fairly declared as such.
Some of it was made out to supercede the first Christians’ implementation and realization of the Apostles’ teachings,
particularly those of the very Paul, whose controversial teachings had already been examined by the Jerusalem council and church — and then also adopted in Antioch among all the other places.

A more careful and humble approach is, to interpret their decisions not at all as deviating, but as evidence for how they as contemporaries had drawn conclusions from the Apostles’ teachings and from the Jerusalem council, providing an instructional example … to take them a bit more seriously.
