Was Jesus's Message A Karaite One? There are those who think that Jesus was a Pharisee but He described the scribes and Pharisees as poisonous snakes and hypocrites. He did not sound fond of the Pharisee's at all.He called them murderers of the prophets and more. So, was Yeshua's message more of a Karaite one?

All that He conveys to us is through the prism of the Hebrew Bible and the religion and culture of that time. If it wasen't for Yeshua/Jesus... I wouldn't be a believer!

He taught in the synagogues they called Him Rabbi He opened a scroll and read from the Book of Isaiah. And Yes! A man can be a God 'God With Us! For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

In Colossians, it goes on to tell us that God in all His fullness was pleased to live in Yeshua, and that through Christ's death on the cross we have been completely made right wth God the Father.

Yeshua Throught The Bible/Scriptures! Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 el immanuwel With Us Is God' Yes, a man can be God!

Who He claimed to be and who they believed He was back then of the ones who excepted Him as who He claimed to be.
As the Messiah! God Jesus Christ!
It also removes any doubt that a table once existed in the center of the hall- paid for by a woman named Akeptous: " The God -loveing Akeptous has offered the table to " God Jesus Christ " as a memorial.
From Everlasting To Everlasting Thou Art God They Believed!
They believed He was who He claimed to be. They believed before Christianity was established they believed from Ancient Times and from examining all the evidence! I believe what they believed too!
The Greek word for fish is ichtys. It is said to have been adopted as a Christian symbol because it contains the initial letters ' of the appellation.
Jesus Christ , Son of God, Savior in Greek. ( I[esous] Ch[ristos] Th[eou] Y[ios] S[oter]; I[noov ] X[ pioio] O[ eov] Y[lo ] Z [ wtnpl]
Look at what was uncovered what could be the earliest Christian church in the Holy Land and this Christian structure seems to have been built in the transition between the end of the Jewish settlement and before the established Christianity.
They Believed He was and is.. "God Jesus Christ".
And if it was proof enough for them way back then it is proof enough for me too and more of course then just that: BUT THEY BELIEVED TOO. So very long ago "The Megiddo Church".

We Have Jewish Roots! One God expressing Himself Tri-une Echad/Yachiyd. Take your Son your Only Son whom you love for a sacrifice an offering is so Jewish! And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and get you into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of. Genesis 22:2 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Take now your son, your only son for sacrifice is so Jewish!

Belief In A Resurrection 'It's So Jewish!! A Messiah Crucified Buried and resurrected. Big G little g. Psalm 82:6 Yeshua is a big G as Yeshua is God manifested in flesh. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelled among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14 God with us.

We may call Him Jesus but His true name is: YESHUA HAMASHIACH He is the Messiah and who He claimed to be though rejected, but not by all Jews and was the Suffering Messiah of prophecy. Nobody took His life as He fulfilled prophecy but mankind as a whole holds responsiblity for his death. YESHUA HAMASHIACH -THE MAN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To-OVm6Xd_gAlot of Jews followed Him believing He was who He claimed to be and took His Gospel around the world as commanded too. The Jews were persecuted in history for His death while Yeshua CLEARLY said He layed down His life for you and me. Nobody took it from Him and the people or church that persecuted them for this was wrong for it and has caused much harm because of it. WE must speak out and let it never happen again Church! No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:18

Nobody took His life as He Gave and fulfilled prophecy but mankind as a whole holds responsiblity for his death. For I would not, brothers, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. Romans 11:25 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Revive all Israel, Adonai, and turn their hearts toward you. May they look upon him whom they have pierced, Yeshua the Messiah, and say, "Baruch haba b'shem Adonai (Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord)." God's word of promise is certain: "Until heaven and earth pass away, not one yod or title will pass from the Torah until all is fulfilled" ----Matthew 5:18

Jesus was born into the line of Jewish kings. YESHUA HAMASHIACH Yeshua CLEARLY said He layed down His life for you and me. Did the Jews Kill Christ? http://www.crosstalk.org/articles/didjews.shtmlNO! He clearly said He Layed It Down He Gave!

Are the last days upon us?
1. Anti-Semitism is on the rise around the world. 2. Scattered Jews are returning to Israel in record numbers. 3. Increasing numbers of Jews are accepting Yeshua as Messiah, as the blinders are removed from their eyes. 4. The Gospel is being preached to the nations. 5. The stage is set for the Messiah's return. 6. The times of the Gentiles are coming to an end.

Why Do We See So Much Hate? And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22 And you shall be hated of all men for my name's sake Luke 21:17 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. John 15:18 Hear the word of the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brothers that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. Isaiah 66:5 For His Name Sake.

If the Torah is good enough for Yeshua It's good enough for me. The Greatest In The Kingdom. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:19

If you want to know better who God is read the Hebrew Bible. And when they had appointed him a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. Acts 28:23

Yeshua's Message/ A Karaite One/ ETC, ETC. (FALSE DOCTRINE!) This subject is WAY OFF BASE! I have commented on your question in (your), 'Human Limitations and Repent' post. Lynn, please get your information TOGETHER, with it's origin of context, tell us where you get it, THEN post it. JESUS IS GOD! JESUS IS LORD! JESUS IS CREATOR OF ALL THINGS VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE! Please, will you kindly get on subjects that people can relate to and be truthful? Thank you. I know you watch a lot of TV. I also know you watch many programs that are NOT Scripturally in line with the Holy Bible. To name a few, "Joel and Gloria Osteen", "Benny Hin", "Plain Truth", "Kenneth and Gloria Copeland", "Jimmy and Frances Swaggart", ("John Hagee"= CAN BE good, but has been known for bringing slanderours remarks on the Jewish people.) TBN-Mostly Fiction.  Jesus's Message, was God in human flesh, coming to the world to point us the way to Heaven, to live with Jehovah God, and all the redemed saints over the ages. SALVATION! Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life, NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus defeted Satan on the Cross. We now have a way to heaven, THE CROSS! Jesus opened the path, for Christians. If we were to be asked, "On what grounds should I let you in heaven [an angel asking], 'THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST PAID MY PRICE FOR ALL SIN AND SET ME FREE!" I've been redeemed by the Saviour, Jesus Christ! All UNbelievers will be sent to the bottomless pit, HELL. JESUS SAID ALL THESE THINGS. We have discussed this in other posts. To be a Chritian, a REAL FOLLOWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, is as Jesus said, "If anyone would be my disciple, let him DENY HIMSELF, take up his cross and follow Me." There's no other way. A Christian no longer runs after the things of THIS FALLEN WORLD, WE RUN AFTER JESUS! And don't let anyone tell you it is easy living the Christian life. LOOK AT OUR LORD JESUS! HE WAS SPAT ON, A CROWN OF THORNS SLAMMED DOWN ON HIS HEAD, NAILED TO A CROSS, AND LAUGHED AT. ALSO HE WAS STRIPPED OF ALL HIS CLOTHES. SHAMED BEFORE THE WORLD THAT HE MADE. "AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE WE WILL SERVE THE LORD!"[Josh 24:15]

Hi Abigail, (((( Smiles )))) I know who Jesus/Yeshua is there is no question for me about that. There are those in the Christian world that believe Jesus/Yeshua was a Pharisee but the message He presented was more of a Karaite One and the person on the youtube video above tells why he believes that is. Karaites Jews do not recognize the authority of the post-Biblical tradition's or anything incorporated by tradition. They believe the authority comes from God and God alone and not by extra biblical traditions like the Pharisee's. http://www.karaites.org/history.htmlLot's of Christians research into the History of the Jewish people and plus from the Bible scripture verses listed above and the study of the scriptures and the Messianic Ministries links above. This thread is about Jesus/Yeshua and His message. You say this subject is WAY OFF BASE! And then above tell me who in your opinion are acceptable preacher's or not and none of them are on this thread. And on Pastor Hagge.... I disagree that he is against the Jews as I watch what he says on T.V. I listen to what people say. You say TBN-Mostly Fiction but some of the people you say you like have been on TBN like Billy Graham and Franklin Graham and Kirk Cameron and Max Lucado and ACLJ and Sid Roth. I am being truthful and I believe in God in human flesh. Plus I read the Scripture's in regard to the orginal Greek and Hebrew like alot of Christians do not just the translation of. So I really do not understand what you are trying to tell me honestly truly don't. That is the total truth! Is it that you want me to leave??? Maybe I am being off base here on that but I truly do not understand what you are telling me besides you do not like the way I share. Not trying to upset you but now this thread is off topic. Or is it I'm not sure anymore?? I'm just very confused that's all.

When Yeshua was walking the earth there was no New Testament. He quoted from the Hebrew Scriptures of course. This speaker makes a case that Yeshua's message was most likely a Karaite one and not a Pharisee one as all that He conveys to us is through the prism of the Hebrew Bible and the religion and culture of that time. And some Jews were more into scripture and less into tradition. It's just an interesting video not saying He was a Karaite Jew and yes they are not Messanic Jews as they are pre Yeshua Jews but it is interesting to hear their point of view on this and some point out that Yeshua said Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 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. Matthew 5:17-18 Till heaven and earth pass. But the question is based on this book and of course their are different opinions on this some say could be some say no. http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/karaite.htmI'm not into those programs of Joel and Gloria Osteen", "Benny Hin", "Plain Truth", "Kenneth and Gloria Copeland", "Jimmy and Frances Swaggart even if they may say something interesting at times. I usually watch the other ones I listed above. I like more Messianic Ministries or educational ministries more then just one. Even ones I may not totally agree with to find out what they believe and why they believe it. And where they found it in the Bible. Based on what translation. But even the people listed above may make it to heaven may be in heaven someday. Even, if they are not my cup of tea. I don't think they are the best teachers out there either. But we all have our favorite ministries.

Not trying to upset you but now this thread is off topic. Or is it I'm not sure anymore?? I'm just very confused that's all. Dear Lynn, Please try to calm down. I have sent you a PM regarding what my comments are in reference to your post herewith. To say that Karaite's do not believe (recognize), post-Biblical traditions or anything incorporated by tradition is incorrect. Then you say they believe the authority comes from God and God alone and not by extra biblical traditions, like the Pharisees. Lynn, In Matthew 17 we read of Jesus' Transfiguration. When the Lord took Peter, James, and John his brother up on the Mount, Jesus was transfigured before them, His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. And behold, MOSES and ELIJAH appeared to them talking with Him. (You can read the entire story in the Bible.) Moses and Aaron spoke directly with God, and that was how the Old Testament was written. That's the only books they had, OLD TESTAMENT. And that's what they believed and (tried) to follow. No one can keep the LAW, so Jesus came to FULFILL the Law. My point is the Pharisees DID MOST DEFINITELY BELIEVE IN post biblical (New Testament) writings, because that is all they had, THE LAW. The same for the Scribes. When they all came down from the Mount, Jesus told the men, "Tell the vision to no one until the Son of Man is risen from the dead." If you continue reading, you see that the disciples asked Jesus, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? What did Jesus say, "Indeed, Elijah is coming first and will restore all things, ...I say to you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know him...Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptist."Now, regarding all the things you listed regarding who "I" said is biblical or true, I DO BELIEVE THAT TBN has some good and some bad. Jesus said, you will always have the wheat mixed in with the tares. I know of a few TBN movies they made and they are WAY OFF BASE scripturally. For one, the Bible NEVER tells us that Solomon had an affair with the Queen of Sheba, yet they made a whole movie on that! There are several others, such as this. You incorrectly said that I said Pastor Hagee does not speak the truth. Once again, a few years ago it was in the Christian News where some things he was saying were anti-Jewish. I have heard him speak and did NOT hear him saying anything derogatory about the Jewish people, personally. As far as I know, he preaches from the Bible. We all make mistakes. "All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." This is getting out of hand,....... You asked, "Do you want me to leave? ....do you not like the way I share?" LYNN, you have said yourself that you get on a topic and ride it out! No, I do not want you to leave. I have been very honest with you and told you on several occasions, that some of your 'topics' are not clear and therefore, how can anybody understand what you're talking about? I had not even heard of the Karaite Message, and to tell you the truth I don't want to hear anymore about it. I have been a follower of Jesus for over 28 years and I study very closely the Word from the NKJB, KJV, NAS, NIV, TLB, and several others, along with Matthew Henry Commentary, and some of J Vernon Magee's Commentary. They are not always in agreement. We must use spiritual discernment, not fleshly stuff. Such as is the case here. "God is not the author of confusion but of peace." First Corinthians 14:33.." So, if you're confused, take it to Him, not me. As I told you in the PM, I only want to help, and try to make some of your posts more clear.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
