Thus, Jesus is intractably anti-Torah (antinomian) and contradictory to documented history: the Judaic context, which defines the historical Jew as a Torah-teaching (pro-Torah) Pharisee Ribi: Yehoshua. Playing games with these names changes neither character any more than switching the names of a rose and an onion would change the characteristics of either. Jesus is the intractably contradictory polar opposite of Ribi Yehoshua. Thus, the very phrase "Historical Jesus" is an intractable oxymoron, pre-ensuring that any quest for it is impossible.<BR/><BR/>The historically-documented Judaic context defines and constrains the very real, historical Jew who was a Torah-teaching Pharisee Ribi -- and let that, instead of Paul (who, Eusebius documented, was excised by the original Netzarim as an apostate) and post-135 C.E. Hellenist Roman fabrications, mold their conclusions about him and his teachings.<BR/><BR/>Instead of looking for the oxymoronic "Historical Jesus," start looking, for the first time, for "Historical Pharisee-Ribi Yehoshua." You can start your search, and find an enormous amount of information, at www.netzarim.co.il.<BR/><BR/>Paqid Yirmeyahu<BR/>Paqid 16, The Netzarim, Ra'anana, Israel<BR/>Israeli Orthodox Jew (Teimani Baladi Dardai)<BR/>Advancing Logic as Halakhic Authority<BR/>Welcoming Jews & non-Jews<BR/>The Netzarim<BR/>"Anders Branderudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590420531095058999noreply@blogger.com
