Abrahams Ten Commandments

The post presents a clearly defined explanation of Jewish traditions and culture in the Book of John. Correctly stated, the use of the term “the Word” plainly displays an entity that is more than just mortal. Jewish scripture accurately predicts a messiah that was eternal. John’s explanation of “the Word” plainly lays out the fact that He was existent from all eternity. (TOWNES X). Furthermore, in John’s Gospel care is taken to provide chronological timeline by identifying Jewish holidays. Especially unique is John’s mention of the Feast of Tabernacles. Customs such as the wedding at Cana and the agrarian references to sheepherding assume the reader would be familiar with a particular way of life. Continuing, the notice of John’s

It is a book that tells us all about the many signs and miracles performed by Jesus. The ultimate theme in John however is the declaration that Jesus was the Son of God. It is thought that the apostle John wrote the book of John was written when he lived in Ephesus. The book of John may have also been directed towards the Gentiles that lived in Ephesus because it became one of the largest christian communities among the Gentiles.

In Millennial International: Sponsor a Millennial Today, John B Christ (2016) mocks many of the stereotypical characteristics of Millennials. Throughout his video, he argues that many of the issues which millennials complain about are minor, and overdramatic. For example, he begins to list some of the diseases which are killing children in Africa, then lists some of the diagnoses (lactose intolerance, pollen sensitivity, peanut allergies). To the audience, Christ portrays Millennials as ridiculous and inconsiderate of how small their problems are. He refers to millennials as unintelligent several times throughout his video “He had this look on his face-like he didn't have a lot going on up there” (Christ, 2016.)

By calling Jesus ‘the Word,’ John calls him the embodiment of all God’s revelation in the Scriptures and thus declares that only those who accept Jesus honor the law, fully (1:17). Jewish

…THE JEWS ANSWERED HIM, "WE HAVE A LAW, AND ACCORDING TO THAT LAW HE OUGHT TO DIE BECAUSE HE HAS CLAIMED TO BE THE SON OF GOD." [JOHN 19:7]

As John preached the word of God there was one thing he always made sure people understood; that there was someone greater than him whose sandals he is not worthy to untie. As John's popularity grew people started to think he was the messiah, but he assured them that he had come before Christ, and that when Christ comes his work would be finished. John was also very bold when speaking to religious leaders and kings.

Verse 1, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The deity of Christ is presented in the opening verse of this Gospel. There is nothing in this gospel linking Jesus as man to David or Abraham. He is not linked to the nation of Israel or the tribe of Judah, but comes on the scene as the eternal God, manifest in the flesh. The record of His birth is not covered here; no nativity scene, no shepherds keeping watch over their flocks by night, no angelic host making the annunciation of His birth to the shepherds. The book opens in eternity with the eternal God.

It is also interesting to note that even though John makes it very clear that the author is Jewish, the Gospel is written primarily for a Greek audience. Because of his knowledge of the Old Testament, which he continually quotes, his understanding of Jewish ritual and culture and he knew and understood the prophesy of the coming Messiah, there is no doubt that either John was Jewish himself or he studied Judaism very well. However, the lack of concern for proving the prophecies set down in the Book of Isaiah supports evidence that this was not a testimony to a Jewish audience. Throughout the gospel, Jesus is shown as being both fully God and fully human, a concept that is more synonymous with Greek culture. Also, the very beginning of John states that Jesus was with God

While numerous scholars say that John is the Gospel to the world (and Matthew to the Jews, Mark to the Romans, and Luke to the Greeks), a Jewish scholar such as Israel Abrahams might very well believe that the Gospel of John is the most Jewish Gospel of the four by the way it reflects Jewish traditions and symbolisms. According to David Wenham[i], there is more attention given to Jesus as the Messiah in the Gospel of John than in any of other Gospels. In John, from chapter one onwards people are directly talking about Jesus as Messiah, and then there is intense public debate about whether Jesus is Messiah or not in John 7:25-31, 41-44[ii], which indicates that John is quite mindful of Jewish issues.

In these first four verses of the Gospel of John we see that the Word was God and brought forth life through himself “and this life was the light of the human race.” (JN 1:4). Let’s skip forward a few verses in the first chapter and we see that there was a major event that took place on the earth. “And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.” (JN 1:14). This most worthy event was the birth of the God Man, the Son of God, the Word made flesh and who is the Word, none other than the God the Light. In this way we see that God is the Word, the Word is the creator of life and the life from the Word is the Light of the human race. This light then become flesh and takes up dwelling with us,

Before the birth of Christ, Matthew proudly proclaimed that he was merely a messenger directed to prepare the way for the Messiah. John the Baptist a forerunner in preparing the hearts of the people. The book of Matthew, addresses The Mosaic Law and The Sermon on the Mount.

Totalitarian Regime of Nazi Germany In this report, main research question is 'why was Hitler's regime was totalitarian one?'. This research is not based on a hypothesis. The research will be analyzed by 2 sections; 'What is totalitarianism' and 'Which were the totalitarian particularities of Hitler's regime in Germany?' (SRQ1/SRQ2)

John illustrates a different side of Jesus that the synoptic gospels do not portray in the bible. Over ninety percent of John's material put emphasis on Jesus first coming and illuminating his stature; he was known as the apocalyptic prophet who announced God's dawning while expelling demons (Harris, 2014). The Gospel of John was written for differently from the synoptic gospels for a reason.   John wanted to create a different perception of Jesus, so that people would know he was the son of God and that no one would falter in their faith for him (Harris, 2014). And in order to do so he wrote of Jesus in a strong virtue, so no one would forget his holiness.

The first theory is the theory of secrecy. In early 1900s the concept for sociological aspect of secrecy was first studied by a German sociologist and Neo-Kantian philosopher named Georg Simmel through his book “The Sociology of Secrecy and of Secret Societies” . In it Simmel define the idea of secrecy as a condition in which one person is intentionally hiding something while another person is seeking to reveal what is being hidden . However, in the sense that for a secret to be realized, someone must not only conceal something but someone else must know or suspect this concealment.

Throughout the book of John, Jesus did many signs and miracles. Through these signs, Jesus attempted to show both the multitudes as well as his disciples one small truth about Him—His is God. In this gospel, Jesus goes toe-to-toe with many of the Jewish spiritual leaders (i.e., Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, etc.) in order to show the people who He truly is. Scholars disagree with how many Messianic signs Jesus performed, but one thing remains—every single sign pointed back to the fact that Jesus was who He claimed to be. The signs performed by Jesus show both the Israelites of old, as well as the people of today, that He is, indeed, God.
