#Yeshua is the Messiah

[yehoshuwa]

‭‭Yehezqĕl (Ezekiel)‬ ‭20:35‭-‬38‬ ‭

[35] “And I shall bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and shall enter into judgment with you face to face there. [36] “As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Mitsrayim, so I shall enter into judgment with you,” declares the Master יהוה. [37] “And I shall make you pass under the rod, and shall bring you into the bond of the covenant, [38] and purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me. From the land where they sojourn I bring them out, but they shall not come into the land of Yisra’ĕl. And you shall know that I am יהוה.

[apenitentialprayer]

are there any Jews who view Jesus in a positive way (aside from like messianic Jews who, as far I’ve understood, are considered evangelical Christians by all other Jews)

Okay, ah, to answer this question simply: to my knowledge, as far as Jewish communities who (1) self-identify as Jewish, (2) consider themselves practicing Judaism, and (3) deny that Jesus of Nazareth is the Messiah go, none of them have an "official" stance on Jesus. Jesus may be a false Messiah, but this is only a "doctrine" in Judaism the same way that the fact that Vissarion of Siberia is a false Parousia of Jesus is a "doctrine" in Christianity — which is to say, not so much an actually asserted belief, but a natural corollary to more deeply held beliefs.

That being said, individual Jewish people have held a variety of beliefs about Jesus of Nazareth. Some of them are, well, quite negative. For example, one Hasidic story tells of how the Baal Shem Tov saw Jesus and Sabbatai Zvi (both false Messiahs) stuck in the same level of Hell together; the infamous Toledot Yeshu, a parody gospel, certainly does not paint Jesus or His Mother in a particularly good light; Maimonides doesn't even use the usual "may his name be blotted out" as he would when talking about an enemy of Israel, but instead uses "may his bones be ground to dust" after citing Jesus by name.

There are relatively sympathetic views among those whose views are negative too, for the record; for example, there's a story of a Rabbi, Yehoshua ben Prachya, who was said to have been incredibly cruel to a student, and by the time he chose to relent that student had already gone off to form his own idolatrous sect. Struck by the consequences of his harshness, he would go on to emphasize the importance of kindness and giving people the benefit of the doubt. Though the timeline doesn't match up (Yehoshua lived two hundred years before Him), some commentators identified this student as Yeshu the Nazarene.

But, let's actually answer your question. You will find a spectrum of relatively positive views. Bob Dylan technically falls outside the parameters I listed above because he does seem to believe Jesus is the Messiah, but I'll use him as the extreme example, because he continued to be active in his Orthodox Jewish community after his conversion. You also have Leonard Cohen, whose Jewishness was very important to him, who could at least understand the importance of the mystical connection to Jesus that Christians claimed as their own — "the figure of Jesus, nailed to a human predicament, summoning the heart to comprehend its own suffering."

You have some scholars, like Amy-Jill Levine; in the work she did in The Misunderstood Jew, The Historical Jesus in Context, and The Jewish Annotated New Testament, she tries to emphasize the idea that the Person of Jesus is something that can bring Christians and Jews into closer ecumenical dialogue; that if Christians could get more comfortable with the Jewish context of Jesus, and if the Jewish community could see the New Testament as a corpus of texts that isn't non-Jewish, but rather a particular type of first century Jewish, then there could be ground for both groups to better understand each other.

During the early modern period, there were attempts by some Jewish thinkers to reclaim Jesus. Rabbi Jacob Emden argued that Jesus never meant to abolish the Law, and that He has actually "done a double kindness in the world" by increasing veneration of the Torah and bringing light to the Gentiles, if only the Gentiles could learn how to properly interpret their own Scriptures (talk about flipping the script!). Moses Mendelssohn also claimed that Jesus never meant to abrogate the Law, and suggested that Jesus and the early Christian community could be models that modern 19th century Jews living among oppressive Prussian authorities could emulate.

The above paragraph was about Jewish individuals who tried to distance Jesus from traditional Christian understandings of Him. So I'm going to end, I think, with Rabbi Jacob Neusner, who engaged the Gospel on its own terms. In 1993, he published A Rabbi Talks with Jesus. In this book, Rabbi Neusner imagines himself as a first century Jewish man and tries to earnestly listen to and consider the words of Jesus as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew. This work places the words of Jesus in conversation with the Rabbinic tradition, and ultimately ends with Neusner being unconvinced and unable to follow Jesus as His disciple. Pope Benedict lauded this work as an authentic exercise in interreligious dialogue, and cites it frequently in his own Jesus of Nazareth.

THE TORAH: HOLY, JUST AND GOOD!

Those who think Sha'ul/Paul sought an escape from the Jewish Law in order to make Christianity easy for pagan converts must find this verse difficult. It proves that Sha'ul neither had an un-Jewish view of the Law nor desired to abrogate it. The verse witnesses to Sha'ul's lifelong high regard for the Torah, which corresponds to his lifelong observance of it (see Act_13:9 Act_21:21). This attitude would have been with him from his youth, since his parents were Pharisees (Act_23:6); it would have been strengthened by his studies with Rabban Gamli'el (Act_22:3); and there is no reason to suppose that his coming to faith in Yehoshua who did not "come to abolish the Torah" (Mat_5:17)-would have changed it. So many errors about Sha'ul's opinion of the Law could have been avoided had this verse been understood as constraining everything he writes about it. YHVH-God's holy Torah for holy living does not change. Why? Because YHVH himself does not change (Mal_3:6) and holiness does not change. Moreover, this verse is not alone: Rom_7:10, Rom_7:14, Rom_7:16, Rom_7:22 andRom_8:2, Rom_8:4, Rom_8:7-8 show that Sha'ul had a high regard for the Torah.

The fact that humans have to constantly fill a void with some sort of addiction, item, relationship, action and/or activity to achieve temporary peace is the definition of suffering. That’s misery.

"The Redeemer"

Behold, I had come, The Son who was completely blameless, To bear the guilt of all The Father’s children…

The Just for the unjust; The Innocent for the guilty; The Son of Man for the sons of men…

Resurrection in Pixels - The Enigmatic Burial Shroud

We see the face cleared and enhanced version of the Shroud of Turin that has had the Shroud face itself been superimposed on top of the face of a model face. Afterwards, the documentary that gives all the information in a quick quirky video in under 7 minutes.

The Suffering Servant by the prophet Isaiah in Isaiah chapter 53.

Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who consideredThat He was cut off out of the land of the living, For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due? His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth. But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting Him to grief; If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand. As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.

Do not love the world or the things of the world. If someone loves the world, then love for the Father is not in him;

because all the things of the world — the desires of the old nature, the desires of the eyes, and the pretensions of life — are not from the Father but from the world.

JUDEO-CHRISTIAN

"We love Him because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19.

Judeo-Christian means a Jewish Christian, which means the same as a Messianist (Christian), from ancient Judea of the Holy Bible’s origins. The prefix “Judeo-‘ ( pronounced, Jew-dayo) means Jewish, as it relates to Judah (Hebrews 7:14), Judaism, and Judea, which is the land of Jesus Christ, and his original Church from Jerusalem in us providing its Biblical oversight. See Matthew 19:28-30.

We are the prime (Judeo-) Christians, representing the “Root” of physical and Spiritual authority from God arising in ancient Jerusalem (Judea), to advise “modern Christianity” toward accuracy, as in Acts 18:24-26, Revelations 22:16. Modern “Christianity” has experienced metamorphosis from foreign adulterated man-made traditions. e.g. Galatians 1:6-7, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-15.

A Judeo-Christian is not an Old Covenant “Jew” ( יהוּדי Yahwadiy, pronounced by all semi-short vowels as Yah-wah-dih. A group of Yahwadiy is called Yahwadyim, pronounced by all semi-vowels Yah-wad-yim, from original Biblical Hashwar Hebrew language. It means followers of Yahwah [Hebrew name of God]) bound within Moses’ temporal Levitical priesthood of animal sacrifices. Judeo-Christians are ancient New Covenant Yahwadyim who are bound within Jesus’ eternal Melchizedek Priesthood order of self-sacrificial offerings. See Hebrews 7:14-17.

This Melchizedek Regal Priesthood within and under our Messiah (Jesus) is the highest collective-Kingly Priesthood, which has represented and interceded before and after Moses’ temporal, provincial, and tutorial Levitical priesthood. See Genesis 14:18-20, Hebrews 7:1-28.

Because Judeo-Christians are not Old Covenant Jews, we do not answer to the common identification of “Jew.”

Jesus was not an Old Covenant Jew. He is a more ancient High Kingly Priest Jew (Yahwadiy), of Judah (יהוּדה = Yahwadah, a Hebrew name applied to a patriarchal priestly tribe from Melchizadek, which means “celebrating Yahwah”), older than the Old Covenant Moses and Abraham, according to the Kingly Priesthood order of Melchizedek. See Hebrews chapters 7-8.

Our Messiah’s Melchizedek Priesthood Covenant is “new” to Gentiles and re-new-able for Old Covenant Jews.

Jesus is, therefore, the highest Kingly Priest over both Yahwadyim (Jews). We follow Jesus and answer to: Judeo-Christian, Jewish Christian, Jewish Messianist or best by Messianist (Hebrew for “Christian”).

The Hebrew word for “Messianist” is מְשִׁיחִי (MŠYCY = Mashyaciy, pronounced Mosh-yawk-i).

In modern Eurasian Hebrew it is translated M’shihi. It is spelled using the following Eurasian dialect for the following Hebrew letters:

 (Mem) represents the sound “m” in English.

שִׁ (Shin) represents the sound “sh” in English.

י (Yod) represents the sound “y” or “i” in English.

ח (Chet) represents the sound “ch” or “h” in English.

י (Yod) represents the sound “y” or “i” in English.

When combined, these letters form the word “Messianist” in Hebrew, referring to someone who believes in or follows the Messiah.

For you Hashwar disciples, did the Hebrew letter Chet have a K sound in older Hebrew?

Yes, historically, the Hebrew letter ח (Chet) did have an older pronunciation that was closer to a “k” sound. In ancient Hebrew and some traditional pronunciations, the letter ח (Chet) was indeed pronounced as a voiceless fricative sound similar to the “ch” in the German word “Bach” or the Scottish “loch”. This pronunciation is commonly referred to as a “hard” or “guttural” k sound. Ayin had a gutteral g sound, as in -ugh ending of the word jug.

Over time, the Eurasian pronunciation of ח (Chet) evolved in different Hebrew dialects and communities. In modern Hebrew, the letter ח (Chet) is typically pronounced as a voiceless fricative sound similar to the “ch” in the Scottish “loch” or the “h” sound in English “hello.” However, in some Sephardic Jewish communities, the pronunciation may be closer to a “kh” sound, similar to the “ch” in the German “Bach.”

It’s important to note that pronunciation can vary based on regional accents, traditions, and personal preferences, so there may be some variation in how individuals pronounce the Hebrew letter ח (Chet) today. In some sense, Hebrew is customizable using a variety of vowels (in Hashwar, only short semi vowels, no long vowels), yet preserves its root words heritage by consonant history.

The term “Christian” is a Greek word to English, used by Greeks to describe ancient Messianist. “Messianist” is from Hebrew to English.

THE MEANING OF THE TETRAGRAMMATON IN THE NAME “JEW”

Yahwah is the more ancient name from God, still preserved in archaeology by Paleo-Hebrew, before the pronunciation “Yahweh” and long before the appellation “Allah” was modified from Hebrew (e.g. Ezra 5:8) by Quranic Arabic, or Greek’s use of  “Theos”, or Hindu’s use of Brahma, etc.

“Yahweh” and “Jehovah” are mistranslations into English from Hebrew, for a number of reasons. Those reasons include, but are not limited to, the Levitical Yahwadyim over 500 years after Jesus, using the wrong written vowel points in print around God’s sacred name.

The wrong vowel points were used as a device to deflect people from misusing God’s sacred name and Yahwadyim having to kill them for it, according to Leviticus 24:16. New Covenant Yahwadayim have continued the more ancient precautionary method of using Halhayim (Hashwar Hebrew)/Alhayim/ Elohym (Eurasian Hebrew) instead of Yahwah for public religious services.

There is no letter V or J in ancient Hebrew. “V” for example was importedly mixed over older Biblical Hebrew for the letter “W” by modern Ashkenazi|Yiddish (Germanic) Jews mispronouncing and thereby mis-writing ancient Hebrew, later incorporated into English. They pronounce William as Vhilliam, for example and evidence.

When Eliezer Ben-Yehuda moved from Eastern Europe to Jerusalem and began trying to establish Yiddish-type Eurasian Hebrew for “officially” spoken “Hebrew”, used today, he and it were opposed as wrong by native Hebrew decendants in Jerusalem. Such Jews, a Jerusalem minority, became outnumbered by foreign Yiddish-type emigrants fleeing persecution and seeking British support for an Israeli State. Ruling British authorities declared it (a Yiddish type Hebrew) the official lanquage of the Jews, not Biblical Hebrew. See original Jerusalem Hebrew preserved also in ancient Hebrew script and archaeology artifacts here.

Moses desired more Yahwadyim in his day, as at Pentecost. See Numbers 11:29, Acts Chapter 2. Again, you can see how the Levitical Yahwadyim represented a rough-draft prefigure or shadow of the later substantial and intended re-New-ed Covenant for Yahwadyim. Hebrews 8:4-6, Colossians 2:16-17. We are fufilling the New Covenant meaning of Yahwadiy. We are the New Covenant Yahwadyim..

People who speak English but not Hebrew can verify this truth about where the term “Jew” comes from by a Strong’s Concordance containing the Hebrew dictionary of the Bible under “Jew” and Hebrew entry numbers # 3068, 3064|3065 and 1768 compared to 1767.

English makes no clear distinction between Old versus New Covenant Jews, and to avoid confusing the young uneducated, we refrain from using the term “Jew,” as in Messianic Jew (as was the Pharisees) and instead identify ourselves as Jewish Messianist(s). We also identify as New Covenant Yahwadyim, or Judeo-Christians (to reach Catholic|Protestant-Christians), and this is meant by us identified as simply Christians.
