  3. The messiah according to rambam

  4. if a king shall arise from the House of David who delves deeply in the study of the Torah and observes its mitzvot like David, his ancestor; if he, by his personal excellence within the realm of Torah, will compel all of Israel to walk in the way of the Torah, and reinforce the breaches in its observance among the entire Jewish people; and if he will fight the wars of God, thus removing all obstacles to Torah observance in the world at large, we may, with assurance, consider him the Messiah. If he suc­ceeds in the above ... buildsthe BeitHamikdash(Temple) on its site, and gathers in the dispersed remnant of Israel, he is definitely the Messiah. At this stage, when it becomes possible to observe the Torah and its mitzvot in their totality, the era of the Messiah will have actually begun. [Laws of Kings and Wars 11:4]

  5. False messiahs • 1- SHIMON BAR KOCHBA-fought against the romans.resultscatastrophic,jews defeated • 2.SHABETTAI TZVI-turkishjew who thought he would get palestine from turks.he was threatened by sultan to be executed and converted to islam • 3.JESUS-did not bring world peace,did not bring jewishsovereinghty,did not bring back exiles,did not rebuild temple

  6. Who was JESUS? • A RELIGIOUS JEW, LAW ABIDING • BORN BTW 4BCE-4CE AND DIED IN 33CE • BORN IN NAZARETH, GALILEE/OR BEIT LEHEM • MARY WAS HIS MOM,JOSEPH HIS FATHER THAT RAISED HIM • STARTED TO PREACH NEW IDEAS MORE FOCUSED ON “ BEN ADAM LEHABERO” • BELIEVED TO BE THE SON OF GOD AND MESSIAH

  7. HOW DO WE KNOW ABOUT HIS LIFE?THE GOSPELS=good newsTHE NEW TESTAMENTMATTHEW,MARK,LUKE,JOHN

  8. RELIABILITY?? • 1.CHRISITIAN PT OF VIEW • 2.ALL WRITTEN AFTER HIS DEATH(FIRST IN 70 CE) 3.ALL LIVED IN ROMAN EMPIRE NOT JUDEA WHERE JESUS LIVED 4.ALL WRITTEN IN GREEK;JESUS SPOKE ARAMAIC-TRANSLATION COULD BE WRONG ***CULTURALLY,LINGUISTICALLY,RELIGIOUSLY REMOVED FROM JESUS

  9. Jesus practiced pharasaicjudaism • “do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law[theTorah]or the prophets.I tell you solemnly,till heaven and earth disappear,not one dot,not one little stroke,shall disappear from the Law until its purpose is achieved.”{recognition of god} • **no jewish scholars believe that Jesus intended to start a new religion.

  10. WERE HIS TEACHINGS CONTRARY TO PHARISAIC BELIEF?? MOST WERE BUT…OOPS! some innovative teachings that oppose jewishteachings:ANTI-TORAH 1.Jesus forgives all man-”the Son of man has the authority on earth to forgive sins”{matthew} Judaism believes that God himself only forgives those sins committed against him “Yom Kippur atones for the sins against God,not for the sins against man, unless the injured party has appeased”{yoma 8:9}

  11. 2. JESUS ATTITUDE TOWARDS EVIL PEOPLE-”OFFER THE WICKED MAN NO RESISTANCE.IF ANYONE HITS YOU IN THE RIGHT CHEEK OFFER HIM THE OTHER AS WELL”{MATTHEW} • “LOVE YPUR NEIGHBORS AND PRAY FOR YOUR PROSECUTORS” • THE TORAH COMMANDS THAT ONE OFFER THE WICKED MAN POWERFUL RESISTANCE.{DEVARIM}”YOU SHALL BURN THE EVIL OUT FROM YOUR MIDST”{EX.MOSHE KILLING EGYPTIAN WHO WAS BEATING JEWISH SLAVE}

  12. 3. JESUS’ CLAIM THAT PEOPLE CAN COME TO GOD ONLY THROUGH HIM.”NO ONE KNOWS THE FATHER EXCEPT THE SON,AND ANYONE WHOM THE SON CHOOSES TO REVEAL HIM”{MATTHEW} • THIS STATEMENT CAUSED THE BELIEF THAT ONLY ONLY ONE WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS CAN COME TO GOD. • JUDAISM HOLDS THAT ANYONE CAN COME TO GOD”GOD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL UNTO HIM”{TEHILLIM 145}

  13. SOME MORE PREACHINGS… -SOURCE BOOK PG 74 *DIVORCE… *DENOUNCE PHYSICAL POSSESSIONS…RICH PEOPLE CAN NOT ACHIEVE OLAM HABAH *THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF ATTAINING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

  14. DID JESUS SEE HIMSELF AS MESSIAH? PROBABLY-IN THE FIRST CENTURY CE MESSIAH WAS MORE THAN A SPIRITUAL FIGURE LIKE WE BELIEVE TODAY. IT WAS A MILITARY AND POLITICAL FIGURE WHO WOULD FREE THEM FROM ROMAN RULE

  15. JESUS’ TRIAL AND CRUCIFIXION
