- Av> was stoned or even killed in any way related to the Jews.
-
- Actually, the account in Sanh. 43a, together with Ulla's comments,
- do show a "Jewish" involvement. However, that really isn't the
- main contention I'd have. Since we have manuscripts of the Brit
- HaChadashah from about 130 AD (Rylands MS), along with major
- portions of the New Testament from 200 AD (Beatty Papyri). Along
- with a first Century Mishnaic Hebrew Matthew, as well as various
- late 1st and early 2nd century AD/Ce quotes of earlier
- manuscripts, not to mention the early Syriac #30 manuscripts;
- etc.. - Why should we heed obscure Talmidic writings from 467
- years after the fact as any thing? Unless you are viewing the
- Talmudic accounts as absolutely 100% accurate as a historical
- document on ancient history. - BUT... isn't that just exactly
- what you accused us of doing?! Further, if that be the case,
- then why not take as valid a somewhat later writing, also written
- by Jews, who did not care for either Messianic Believers or
- Rabbinic Jews, as more objective:
-
- From the Karaite Anthology, by Leon Nemoy, Yale press, pgs. 50-51, 9...
- Next there appeared Yesua, who Rabbanites say was the son of Pandera;
- he is known as Jesus, the son of Mary. He lived in the days of Joshua,
- the son of Perahiah, who is said to have been the maternal uncle of
- Jesus. The Rabbanites plotted against Jesus until they put him to death
- This took place in thereign of Augustus Ceasar, the emperor of Rome,
- i.e.,at the time of the second Temple.{Jacov Al-Kirkisani,900's AD/CE.}
-
- And if you find the logic faulty in my using this Kararim source
- to prove my point, I'd point out that we equally find fault with
- your appeal to the later Talmudic passages to disprove the
- earlier New Covenant portions. Besides, the Roman goyim nailed
- Yeshua to the tree.
-
- Av> it is thus NOT CREDIBLE anymore as an Historical document, because
- Av> - how can you tell what was revised and what was not.
-
- But the more obvious conclusion would be that the much later
- Talmudic account was not credible as a Historical document, and
- that the rendering was revised to suit the notions of the
- Rabbanim; - unless you contend for a "inspired / or 100% true
- Talmud"; but if that is the case, then you are doing exactly what
- you are accusing us of doing anyway.
-
- Av> the Jewish Bible, ... was NEVER revised.
-
- While I would tend to agree with you in principle (in part), in
- fact, the Yesha'yahu Scroll on display in Jerusalem from the Dead
- Sea collection does vary on several minor points from the later
- Masoretic text. So..., you could not appeal for your conclusion
- from that angle. And there are several other points I'd like to
- make on what you wrote in this post, but sorry, just do not have
- the time.
-
- Av> Jewish bible have one version only, exactly matching the original
-
- One more point.... There is the Greek LXX of Torah and the
- entire Tanakh, the Sammaritan Torah, the Peshitta Tanakh, etc....
- You can not say there is only "one version" of the Tanakh. There
- is only one Masoretic Hebrew version of the Tanakh; but as already
- mentioned, there are variations in the Hebrew text when compaired
- to some of the Dead Sea Scroll's Tanakh. - Perhaps even as few as
- between the Alexandrian and the Receptus Greek New Covenant. :-)
