Program #33 - Yeshua and Torah Observance part4
We left the previous discussion in a cliff hanger. We solve the “cliff-hanger” by using the Hebrew and Greek translations of the text to reveal the idea of what the English word “fulfilled” means.
I present my literal translation of this passage as a means for clarifying the dilemma of the double use of the English word “fulfilled.”

In this program I discuss Yeshua and his family’s observance of the Festivals. We look in to the book of Luke chapter 2:41 and following. I discuss the phrase “moedim” festivals. We then delve into the phrase “Custom of the Feast” in relation to Torah observance. We also discuss the Hebrew word “mishpat” judgments. We look at this verse from a Hebrew translation.
We further discuss the relationship to the Oral Torah to Yeshua’ life and the life of his family members.

We open with some materials from the Tanach showing the eternality of the Torah and then move to the Gospel of Luke and look at the opening characters and their relationship to the Torah.

Program #25 - A Gentile Question Part 4
I conclude the “Gentile Question.”
I pick up with Avot 5:22 and the Talmidim of Avraham. I relate this with the book of Yochanan (John) 8:34-39. Here Yeshua quotes the Mishna Avot 5:22 in his argument with the Shammaite talmidim.
I discuss the characteristics of Avraham’s talmidim.
- The Good Eyes
- The Humble Spirit
- The meek Soul (spirit)
I discuss the views of Hillel and Shammai concerning Gentiles and the olam haba. I conclude with Yeshua’ view of Gentiles and the olam haba as purported from Luke 4:16ff
I explicate Acts 10:28 and 15:18-21.

Program #24 - A Gentile Question Part3
I continue with Pirke Avot (Pirke Avot 1:10-12) and the discussion concerning the “Gentile Question.”
I discuss how the sons of proselytes had ascended to the level of Nasi (President) and the Av Beit Din of the Sanhedrin. Likewise, I discuss how that these “sons of Proselytes” were those who taught Hillel and Shammai.
We delve further into the “Gentile Question.” What does the Gentile have to do to inherit the olam haba?
I discuss the idea that Shemayah and Avtalyon were so great in the eyes of HaShem that the tradition of the Torah passed through the sons of Proselytes.
Likewise, I discuss their place as teachers of Yisrael, Hillel and Shammai.
I discuss Yeshua as Disciple of Aaron. I further discuss the relationship of the Book of Acts with this question.
Likewise, I purport the idea that the Gentile question is the result of the 18 edicts of Shammai.
I conclude with a Mishna from Avot 5:22 (scroll down to verse 22) being the disciples, descendants of Avraham. This passage tells us the attributes of the sons of Avaraham being a generous eye, a humble spirit and a meek soul. I purport the idea that Avraham sought gentiles bringing them into relationship with HaShem the One true G-d.
