From Christianity to Noahide

[menuchahats]

Thank you for your beautiful sincere sympathy for those who had to accept the falesy of their original faith. It's indescribable pain. One loses oneself and will have to redefine life all over again.

Thanks for sharing! I will definitely get this book. I have a similar story as I too came out of Christianity. HaShem is wonderful and is there leading us out of darkness and into the light!

Thank you for the review Chrissie. Does Jeremy talk much about his life in the book, or is it mostly a study of the Christian bible and how it doesn't match up with the TaNaKh?

It's indeed very painful to let go of a religion. I converted to Catholicism at some point and then left. One day I discovered massive inconsistencies in Catholic dogma over time. I was heartbroken, and my initial response was heavy drinking. Leaving Christianity overall three years later was less difficult, but it still felt odd and makes it more difficult to trust in another religion.

01:17 The New Testament, in speaking of the Gospel of Matthew which is stated as the book referenced, is not written . . . I repeat . . . is not written in Hebrew!

The Bible, as a whole, was written in three different ancient languages:
Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek.

Ancient Hebrew was the tongue of the ancient Israelites and the language in which most of the Old Testament was penned. While Hebrew remained the sacred tongue of the Jews, its use as a common spoken language declined after the Jews’ return from exile (538 B.C.). Despite a revival of the language during the Maccabean era, it was eventually all but replaced in everyday usage by Aramaic.

Ancient Aramaic originated among the Arameans in northern Syria and became widely used under the Assyrians. A few passages in the Old Testament were written in Aramaic (Genesis 31:47; Ezra 4:8-6:18, 7:12-26; Jeremiah 10:11).

Some have compared the relationship between Hebrew and Aramaic to that between modern Spanish and Portuguese: they’re distinct languages, but sufficiently closely related that a reader of one can understand much of the other. Aramaic was very popular in the ancient world and was commonly spoken in Jesus’ time.

Was the New Testament written in Hebrew?

Many people assume that the New Testament was written in Hebrew as well, but by the time the Gospels were being written, many Jews didn’t even speak Hebrew anymore. Rome had conquered Greece, and the influence of Greek culture had saturated the empire. What’s interesting about Biblical Greek is that it didn’t use a high-class or complicated style; it was written in koine (common Greek), a language that could be understood by almost anyone, educated or not.

It’s amazing to see how the Word of God (or Bible) has traveled through languages and cultures. It began in the language of his chosen people, adopted the language of the Roman world, and now exists in over 2, 000 different languages. Far from being a static, one-language text, the Bible actually embraces translation and cross-language accessibility by its very nature. Whether you read the Bible in its original languages or in one of thousands of modern tongues, it’s a blessing to be able to read God’s word today just as it was read thousands of years ago.
