Re: Scripture interpretation

Furthermore, there is the claim that Jesus was a 1st century Jewish rabbi and therefore used a common 1st century Jewish rabbinical methodology in interpreting and applying Scripture.

But,

1. What is the 1st century Jewish rabbinical methodology? Simply saying peshat and midrash does not answer the question. What is the actual methodology of arriving at for example a midrashic interpretation or application of a Scripture? The claim assumes that there is a known ie documented 1st century Jewish rabbinic methodology or hermeneutic. Where is that documentation? And what is that hermeneutic?

2. The claim assumes that Jesus and the apostles used a standard methodology to arrive at their applications and interpretations. Did they? Or did they speak as they were moved by the Holy Ghost? When Paul asks about the oxen treading out the corn commandment, asking "Does God care for animals? Or is this for our benefit?" whereby he then draws an application to the then current situation regarding taking care of teachers, was this the result of a particular rabbinic method of interpretation? Or was it the leading of the Spirit to apply Scripture to the current situation? Or was it basic common sense? A combination of both?

When Matthew asserts that Hosea's "out of Egypt have I called my son" was fulfilled by Jesus returning from Egypt, was this a rabbinic methodology at work? Or was it the result of Matthew having learned that Messiah is the archetypal Israel, the personification of Israel, the type of which Israel was the shadow? Which he would have learned by the teaching of Jesus and the leading of the Spirit? Or even by a careful reading of Isaiah, or even from God's words to Pharaoh "Israel is my firstborn, let my son go" coupled with the understanding that Jesus is the literal only begotten son of God as well as the kingly "son of God" (ie heir to the throne of David and the Anointed One of God)?

The more I think about it, the more I think there is no 1st century standard Jewish rabbinic hermeneutical methodology shared by both Jesus and the other rabbis. The 1st century rabbinic methodology is on display in the New Testament, and seems to have been repeatedly rejected by Jesus and the apostles because it seems to have consistently led to error.
