A Messianic Bible Study Thread - Is Anyone Interested?

[iitb]

I was thinking of starting a chapter by chapter discussion of one of the gospels. Is anyone interested?

I don't concider myself a teacher on any level, so it would pretty much have to be an open discussion. Matthew, maybe? Anyone up for a 30 page argument about the virgin birth? (that's a joke, btw)

LOL I think this would very easily happen, as it has on other boards

If Gentiles are welcome I would be interested.

Yes, if a Jew, gentile, female, simple women, of faith, can come. LOL.

Hello Justin,

that would be a great idea. I dont mind joining- and i know that the rules do not allow to debate so i will keep close watch on myself.
If you would allow me to participate and share some insight?

From what I believe it was Sojeru that commented on his belief that the New Testament is like the Talmud and other writings of Judaism.

If I may suggest, from the list that was made by Sojeru, I would like to begin with Mark- I would really like to see those comparisons he is speaking, is just that I have been slow at it because i never really cared for engagin in a study about it.
But since you brought this thread up to light- I think I would enjoy engaging in such a study.
I will begin looking into mark now to see how everything correlates as the 1st that is needed for any student in traditional Judaism.

well,
thank you for your kind hospitality on the boards.

bye

But that takes out all of the fun of arguing about the virgin birth and Y'shua's lineage!

Actually, I have no problem starting with Mark.

Seriously, im up for this, I dont know how much of a help Il be but Il add all I can

I am so sorry,
you are the leaders of this forum and even if your not, i believe that you have more say than I.
Please do not let me intrude on where you wish to begin.

if it is the "virgin birth" then so be it done.

So I will follow your decision on this study

bye

Eh, you have nothing to apologize for. I was actually joking, as the virgin birth can be a huge distraction, just as the lineage found in Matthew can. Both are valid discussions, but are also easy to get bogged down in. Mark leaves out both, so we might actually get to discuss stuff beyond chapter 1.

Justin,

I have no intentions of debating, I'm here to learn I may ask questions though if that is OK. I'm really looking forward to it.

 

[Trish1947]

I just want to learn.. no debating from me. Where ever anyone wants to start.

 

[iitb]

I'll try and get something going no later than the middle of next week.

 

[Mordechai18]

I would love to be a wallflower at such a dance.
(IOW, I'll be very interestedly lurking.)

 

[blessed2]

I'd love that! May I join?
P.S.
The virgin birth doesn't disturb me....I'm confused about the catholic view of Mary as
The immaculate conception....born without original sin, prayed to etc......remained a virgin forever and suggests
that she ascended and never died?
Very confusing and I can't find anything like that in the bible. lol

 

[Henaynei]

I vote Markus

 

[Sephania]

Speaking of which, is Mark a Hebrew name or Roman?

 

[koilias]

This will be interesting...Yes do tackle Markus. Our most expansive (midrashic) gospel, as my teachers like to say.

And lest any here think that Markus is our tamest or most original gospel, I'll be happy to be your Jerusalem School gadfly in this discussion. Markus is a master of midrash. He brings Jewish tradition to bear in his storytelling.

Most excellent!!! Getting hungry!!

Mark a midrash? Thats a new one to me, though its possible, Ive just never read it under the impression that it is a vehicle to convey a theological teaching rather than a literal interperation of events.

Very interesting, il be looking forward to this

 

[Ruhama]

Mark is a Roman name but it doesn't mean he wasn't Jewish.

I might lurk on this Bible Study.
