I find it sad that I listed this 3 days ago and it has not been posted. Well things do get over looked, so let try once more.
In this study I do ask that we keep to the life of Yeshua, how He lived His life, what religion He followed, and what His study/teaching tools were. After all if we fail to understand this, how can we say follow His example?
The Word is clear on one thing,

Hos 4:6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

As I have seen in every post I opened, there are some that simply wish to make sure they are heard, and any one that stands in opposition of their thinking must be talked over, belittled, and or forced out. Anything to stop their understanding from getting out. However, they have little to say about how Yeshua lived His life, or what His guiding principles were.
If this thread is approved, we will examine the Life of Yeshua, and seek to find how He walked in His life. From His teachings, and His teaching alone we can learn more than one may think. I know that what I ask now will be over looked, ignored, or otherwise pushed aside. Still I must ask. If you wish to try and derail this study, please don't post. Keep in mind we are looking the life of Yeshua, NOT PAUL. Thank you for your understanding in this simple request.

How many of you think Yeshua kept the fest? Do you know why, and what feast have been fulfilled by Him to date?

Jesus is LORD.. Meaning he knew everything needed to be known.. He did not have to read the Torah because He had existed though all time and had seen all the Torah as it was being established, Jesus walked with the Jews as He liberated them from Egypt and lead them to the promised land.. When Jesus was 13 He was in Jerusalem and spent time talking with the priests in the temple and they where all astonished by His answers.. Jesus already had great knowledge when He was 13..

He came into the world with traditional Jewish parents who followed the Laws of Moses, the Commandments, and celebrated all of the festivals. By Biblical understanding, He lived in His home close to the age of 30. So He would have done all of things every Jewish person did including attending Synagogue from age 6 to 13 to learn the Torah, even though He would have already known it. On His 8th day after birth, He would had been circumcised. He lived the complete Jewish life.

All of this is already presented in the Gospels, to the degree that God will have us know certain things. For example, nothing about Christ is written for the period between his 12th birthday and His age at approximately 30 years. So you would actually be reproducing the Gospels (which is unnecessary).

It was necessary for Christ to be of the tribe of Judah and the line of David. It was also necessary for Him to be under the Law of Moses until His crucifixion. He fulfilled the Law in various aspects, and was the only Man to obey the Law perfectly. At the same time Jesus of Nazareth was fully God -- God manifest in the flesh. That is why He could pay for the sins of the whole world. In spite of himself, Pilate declared to all the Jews that THIS IS JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

I don't say that, but legalsists will tell you we must, even though it is impossible. What many do
is believe by grace through faith that the sinless life He lived and gave as the spotless Lamb of God
satisfied the requirements set forth in the law to pay the price for sin, which reconciles us to Him
and allows us to escape the second death and attain to life ever after.



From Hebrews 10:1, 4, and 1 Corinthians 5:7

Should we forsake Christianity and convert to Judaism to follow Christ as he lived?

Yet He lived His life in the way that we should walk did He not? If so, then should we not live our life as He showed us?

Knowing this, and knowing that we are to emulate His life in our own why do so many know so little about Him?

True. Yet if He is the way the truth and the light, why do so many know so little about Him? How will they know Him when He returns?

Is it now. In all my threads I find one thing to hold true. That being that the people that post in them hold almost no understanding of Him. More often than not, they wish to use Paul to argue against the Teachings of Yeshua. I think a study on the man is something that has been neglected by too many. After all was it not life and teachings not intended to show us how to live?

As we know, or should know, The Way to get someplace is by following a path. At times that path is clearly laid out for us. Yet if we stray from it, would we not become lost and not know it?

All we know about Him is recorded in scripture, is it not? If we know the scriptures we know how He lived His life. I get the feeling there's something about His life that you think a lot of people are missing. If so, could you just say what that is.

You can't emulate His life. That would make you perfect. We can only walk in the Spirit and have Jesus live in and through us.

From Hebrews 10:1, 4, and 1 Corinthians 5:7
Knowing that, how may I ask do you set aside His teachings and live in a manner that He never said we should? I know that dosn't sound right to many people, yet His life was to teach us how to walk in the way HaShem had told us. In fact on many occasions He said to follow/keep the Law. Why would He wast time teachings us of a thing that He knew was going to be removed? Also on that, Yeshua did say,

Mat 5:17¶Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.


Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

If you have read my post, you know that we must do our best. Not once will you ever see me make a claim that we can live a sin free life. Even when we look at Adam, Noah, Abraham, and any one we read about sin can be found in their life. That is why forgiveness, is given.

In way would we say conversion is the answer. Although, there is a reason our faith was called Judaeo Christian. Our faith comes not from our own teachings, rather it is the same faith that the Jewish people walk in.

Our best is not emulating Jesus.
Our best is not actually obedience. It may reflect outwardly His behavior, but it will not mirror His inward motivation. So by encouraging people to try to emulate Jesus rather than walk in the Spirit, you are actually encouraging them to sin.
