Re: Scripture interpretation
I love the both of you brothers!
Great information and discussions.
We know the way the first century Rabbinical interpreted scriptures. They literalize everything. Jesus’ apostles had this interpretation and Jesus always corrected them. The Rabbinical of the first century literally interpreted Tobit to Jesus. 7 men marry one woman, who will be her original husband in the resurrection? Jesus responds by shooting down their literal interpretation.
Rabbinical methodologies which we know of today are from medieval era of Rabbinical Judaism. Mostly we find that RamBam the codifier of the Talmud, is the Rabbi who everyone would try to emulate. Rabbinical Judaism isn’t really 1st Century A.D. but comes to its golden age during the Middle Ages. Eastern and Western Catholicism opposed Judaism interpretation of scripture. But Protestantism, borrowed from Rabbinical Judaism for its teachings. Pentecostalism swallowed Rabbinical Judaism hook, line, sinker, and ultimately the bobber. They shalom their way all the way to oblivion. Losing, the wholeness of what the scripture is trying to tell us. Rabbinical interpretation place them in the forefront of the Biblical story, instead of Christ. Hence, Pentecostals see Israel the final goal of God. Instead of Christ in Glory and victory as the ultimate goal.
