In January 2005 Michael John Rood, of A Rood Awakening, will be traveling with Nehemiah Gordon, or Nehemia Gordon, who rejects the New Testament and Jesus Christ and who, along with Michael Rood, hopes to teach those of "lesser scholarship", what the "Hebrew Matthew" and theNew Testament"really" means, while correcting the errors in the 'corrupted' Greek texts.
With the tour is the promotion of Michael Rood's latest book, "The Pagan Christian Connection Exposed," and Nehemia Gordon's "The Hebrew Yeshua vs. the Greek Jesus: New Light on the Seat of Moses from Shem-Tov's Hebrew Matthew" by Nehemia Gordon, Preface by Avi Ben Mordechai, Introduction by Michael Rood.

Might want to read up on Mr. Gordon before you even watch the video.

LBR, I'm not sure if posting this violates what you talked to me about, if it is remove it and I won't visit this board anymore.

I watched about 10-15 minutes but started wondering what his point is. Can you tell me what his thesis is before I spend anymore time on it?

Is this about Jesus, the Pharisees, Orthodox Judaism, or what?

And why would it be interesting to me? (I'm not saying it necessarily would not be, but wondering why you would be suggesting it.)

I watched the entire video. I have to say that he has piqued my interest in some things. I was'nt aware of the possibility that Mathew may have been written originally in Hebrew. I will try to find a copy of the Testimony Of Papias(sp) to see for myself his claim that Mathew was in Hebrew to start with.
What he said appeared to make a lot of sense . . .and the way he explained the Hebrew word puns that the Greek may have been translated from made sense of some Scripture that before seemed to contadict itself.
Also there was food for thought concerning the written Law vs the oral law that Christ may have been refering to in some Scriptures relating to the Pharisees.
I will buy his book, "The Hebrew Yeshua VS The Greek Jesus".
Alls I'm saying is that as a linguist of Greek, Hebrew, and Ancient Hebrew, he appears studied and is good at what he teaches.
That said, I don't see anything wrong with his teaching . . .so far. He says that he is not a follower of Yeshua so my prayers will go up for him but I will not be able to help being suspect that he may have an agenda that he has not yet revealed.
Thanks Alex . . .very, very interesting !

You will find that Karaite Jews, Including my grandfather have no objections about Yeshua ,unlike the modern Pharisees (Orthodox Jews).
The reason he speaks of Matthew being in Hebrew is because of the copy found in India in 1970s which is now at the University of Jerusalem, which has being dated to the first century AD.
I'm also of the belief that all the gospel and Revelations were written originally in Hebrew and then into Greek and someone lost them or hid them, and might even exist somewhere in the Vatican's vaults.

Hsa4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

I'm not sure what you mean, but I don't think you answered my questions.
