Misreading the New Testament—John Chapter 8

Most Christians today do not understand what the New Testament is, and even worse, many of them have abandoned the Old Testament altogether.  It’s as though they see it as an archaic relic, a reminder of things that are interesting as curios but not important.

The Messiah didn’t see it that way.  In fact, He revered the Old Testament (Jewish people call it the Tanach), and said that nothing in it is off base in any way whatsoever.  He said, “For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” (Matthew 5: 18)  Since heaven and earth haven’t passed away yet, that means the Law is still in effect.

Despite the Messiah’s crystal clear statement, you see evidence of our abandonment of the Old Testament every day.  From legitimizing homosexuality to abortion on demand without constraints, our society has turned its back on Yahweh and His word, and He made it clear from the very beginning that rejecting His word is rejecting Him.  Don’t let anyone fool you because that’s exactly what we have done, and there are consequences.

The New Testament is loaded with admonitions about obeying Yahweh and the result of not obeying Him.  Take John 3: 16, for instance: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.”  That’s probably the most quoted verse in the New Testament.  People who can’t tell you anything else about the Bible can recite that verse, but just a few verses down is another verse that they conveniently ignore.  It’s John 3: 36: “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

It’s obvious that obedience is important, and no amount of sermonizing can change that reality.  It’s true that we are saved by grace through faith because no one, and I mean no one, deserves salvation.  But what kind of faith?  Saving faith is faith that manifests itself in a desire to obey Yahweh.

Additionally, far too many Christians don’t know who the Messiah is, and they don’t have a clue what His Name is.  In this article, I will parse John chapter 8 to demonstrate what the Bible actually says about the Old Testament and the true identity of the Messiah.  John chapter 8 begins on the Mount of Olives and moves quickly to the Temple Mount:

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” 6 They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. 7 But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10 Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”

To understand what happened, you need to realize that the Messiah had already been accused of abandoning Yahweh’s Law, and that’s what the scribes and Pharisees were trying to prove with the woman who had been caught in the act of adultery.  In verse 6, we are told that they were setting a trap.  We know that’s true because if the woman was caught in the act of adultery, so was a man, but where was he?  If she was guilty of adultery, he was, too.  The man’s absence makes it clear that the religious leaders wanted to find a way to accuse the Messiah of a crime that carried the death penalty.  This encounter had nothing to do with the woman or the man or the sin they committed.

Did the Messiah say or do anything suggesting that He believed the Law of Moses was null and void?  Absolutely not.  To prove my point, look at what He told the scribes and Pharisees when they asked Him what should be done with her: “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”

None of them were sinless.  Truth be told, the scribes and Pharisees were caught red-handed in the very act of sinning because they were trying to kill an innocent Man.  That’s called murder—a clear violation of the 6th commandment.  In a nutshell, the Messiah exposed their hypocrisy.  They knew it and so did the onlookers.

The Messiah told the woman, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”  Was He excusing her sin?  No.  She repented, and she was forgiven.  It’s interesting to point out that the religious leaders did not repent.  In fact, they walked away from that humiliating experience and began concocting another scheme to trap Him.

Next, the Messiah told the religious leaders that He is Yahweh.  He didn’t use the Name Yahweh because at that time simply saying the Name was considered to be blasphemy, a crime the punishment for which was death, and the time for His crucifixion had not arrived.  Let’s take a look:

12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. 16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17 Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.” 19 So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20 These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

21 Then He said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” 25 So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?”

In verse 12, the Messiah said, “I am the Light of the world.”  That’s one of His “I am” statements, and it was a claim to be Yahweh since the meaning of the Name Yahweh is “I am” or “I exist”.  In verse 24, He said, “For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”  That was another claim to be Yahweh without saying the Name.

It’s clear that the religious leaders understood what the Messiah said, because they asked Him, “Who are You?”  Again, they were attempting to trap Him.  They were hoping that He would say “Yahweh”, but instead, He responded by asking them a question: “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?”

From the beginning, He had been telling them that He is Yahweh.  That’s why they wanted to kill Him, but the time had not yet arrived for Him to give them the ammunition that they needed to charge Him with blasphemy.  He continued,

26 “I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.” 27 They did not realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30 As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.

In verse 28, the Messiah said “I am He” again, and verse 30 says that “many came to believe in Him.”  What did they believe?  The only thing that makes any sense is that they believed He is Yahweh because that’s what He said.  Even more, they believed that if they did not believe that He is Yahweh they would die in their sins because that’s what He said in verse 24.

The next two verses are very revealing because the Messiah addressed His remarks to those who believed Him:

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

In verse 31, the Messiah said, “My word.”  Exactly what did He mean?

First, He was referring to the Tanach or the Old Testament, not the New Testament because at that time there was no New Testament.  He said that if believers continued in or abided in the Tanach, they would know the truth and the truth would make them free.  That’s a clear statement about the supremacy of the Tanach.  Even more, by referring to the Tanach or Old Testament as “My word”, the Messiah was claiming to be Yahweh.

Second, He was distinguishing between the Tanach and halacha, or Jewish religious law.  The scribes and Pharisees professed to believe the Tanach, but they taught from religious books such as the Mishnah and the Talmud.  Those compilations are simply commentaries, yet halacha is based on them.

In point of fact, the Messiah was telling believers to follow Yahweh’s law (the Old Testament or the Tanach) and not the laws of the scribes and Pharisees (the Mishnah or the Talmud).  The religious leaders’ response indicates that they understood Him perfectly:

33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

You can tell that the religious leaders were indignant, but the Messiah didn’t stop there:

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”

The Messiah was telling the religious leaders that they had rejected Yahweh’s law and accepted man-made tradition (halacha) that was only loosely connected to Yahweh’s law.  In essence, He was telling them that they were not Yahweh’s children because His children would never do such a thing.  Then He gave a more complete explanation.  It began in verse 38, “therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father”, and continued as a running dialogue between the Messiah and the religious leaders:

39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham. 40 But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. 41 You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

48 The Jews [or more correctly, the Jewish religious leaders] answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word [i.e., the Tanach or the Old Testament] he will never see death.” 52 The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.’ 53 Surely You are not greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?”

The verses that follow are the clearest presentation in the Bible that the Messiah claimed to be Yahweh, and it is equally clear that the Jewish religious leaders understood exactly what He said:

54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; 55 and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 So the Jews [or more correctly the Jewish religious leaders] said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”

“Before Abraham was born” is not a good translation.  This is what the Messiah actually said: “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham existed, I am.”  In other words, He told them that He created Abraham and more to the point that He is the Creator—I am.

Did the religious leaders understand him?  Verse 59 reveals the answer:

59 Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple.

Of course, they understood what He said and they wanted to execute Him for claiming to be Yahweh, but that would have to wait for the proper time—Passover.  Be that as it may, misreading the New Testament disguises many important truths the most important of which is the true identity of the Messiah and His attitude toward the Old Testament.  I hope you can see that.

13--Perspectives 2

Michael Curtis: A Modest Proposal for a Swift Middle East Peace— The 18th century Anglo-Irish satirist, Jonathan Swift, is famous and best known for his book Gulliver’s Travels. Equally imaginative and ingenious is his essay A Modest Proposal written in 1729.  In this essay he addresses his concern with the heartless attitudes towards the poor that existed in Ireland and with the failure of Irish policy to create better conditions. He ironically suggests that the poor be killed and used to feed the rich. If he were alive today one can imagine he might deliver ironic comments on the subject of peace between the Palestinians and Israel. He would almost certainly have humbly offered a new modest and least objectionable proposal, in the following manner.

Daniel Greenfield: Anti-Semitic Violence, Neo-Nazis and the Anti-Israel Left— The Nation Institute’s headquarters in a classic twelve story building just off Manhattan’s pricey Union Square is a long way from Frazier Glenn Miller’s digs in Marionville, Missouri. The Southern Poverty Law Center, which spent a great deal of time monitoring Miller, would never have thought to watch an institute whose board of trustees include a former New York Times editor, a music industry executive and a president of the Center for Constitutional Rights.

Clarice Feldman: Death, Taxes, and Anti-Semitism— Does anyone suppose that Democrats — the chief American statists, class warriors, multiculturalists, and internationalists — are any different than their European counterparts? Ben Franklin opined that there was nothing certain but death and taxes. I’d add a third to the list of certainties, anti-Semitism, and this week reminds us of that. As Americans struggled with preposterously complex federal income tax regulations and ever-higher tax burdens, the Washington Examiner’s Timothy P. Carney tweeted “That’s the price we pay for 7 of the 10 richest counties being within commuting distance of DC.” Right he is. As the rest of the country struggles to keep on producing — cattle, grain, merchandise, services — hamstrung by ever more regulations and executive and judicial branch overreaching, DC lives high on the hog off that labor. Drive up and see expensive restaurants full of patrons every night and elegant spas and hotels fully booked. The price of real estate in the nation’s capital keeps soaring, as it does in the near suburbs. At the moment 86 million full- time private sector employees sustain 148 million benefit takers. Greetings, suckers!

Anna Arutunyan: Analysis: Putin stymies West with subterfuge—In early March, soldiers with automatic rifles, ski masks and dark-green uniforms without insignias appeared at key points throughout the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea. Ukraine accused Russia of infiltrating its country for a takeover, and foreign diplomats including Secretary of State John Kerry demanded answers from Moscow as the world threatened to impose sanctions. Putin did answer, calmly and unswerving.

Joseph Klein: Diplomatic Breakthrough on Ukraine or More Russian Lies?— Russian President Vladimir Putin shamelessly told United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon during a recent phone call that he expected “clear condemnation” of what he characterized as the “anti-constitutional” operation by the Ukrainian central government in Kiev against the armed thugs whom have illegally occupied government buildings in eastern Ukraine. Putin did not get his wish. Instead, a report issued by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights on April 15th, which was based on first hand reporting by human rights monitors on the ground in Ukraine including Crimea, exposed the baselessness of the Russian propaganda.

Boaz Bismuth: Iran’s clean profit— That is it. From the perspective of Ali Akbar Salehi, the man who was Iran’s foreign minister under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and currently presides over Iran’s nuclear portfolio, the world can sleep quietly. A deal has been reached. Does this mean Iran is dismantling its centrifuges? No need to exaggerate. On the contrary, their number is expected to increase. Hold on, it means the Arak heavy water reactor is shutting down? You’ve hit your head. There will only be a few cosmetic changes. Indeed, there will also be inspectors… as long as it suits Iran.

Dan Margalit: America, don’t do us any favors— U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is acting like Santa Claus on Christmas and handing out presents to Israel. If not Jonathan Pollard — then perhaps a visa waiver for Israelis seeking to travel in the U.S. for up to three months. No, thank you. Even though Israel would be wise to show a more flexible position in the current negotiations with the Palestinians, who are the primary peace rejectionists, there is no need to compensate Israel with visa-less trips to Disneyland.

Jamie Glazov: Where Does Naomi Wolf’s Hypocrisy End, Or Does It?— Naomi Wolf has joined the Hamas chorus by attacking feminist hero Phyllis Chesler for being a Zionist agent. How facilely Wolf has adopted the language of Jew-haters the world over — an even more bitter irony coming from someone who has written an entire book comparing democratic America to Nazi Germany. And Chesler’s sin? To have dared to challenge the Left’s party line of defending the Islamic mutilators of adolescent girls, and practitioners of gender apartheid. But then again, this isn’t anything new for Wolf, seeing that she is on the record for finding the burqa sexy.

David Archibald: Say Goodbye to Egypt— The mismatch between an agricultural system that can feed 40 million and a population of 84 million. In 2011, the clerical intellects in Egypt proposed that the pyramids be destroyed because they were idolatrous reminders of Egypt’s pre-Islamic past.  Egypt’s real problem is more prosaic — the mismatch between an agricultural system that can feed 40 million and a population of 84 million.  Egypt had been a grain exporter for thousands of years.  It is estimated to have had a population of 4 million at the time Napoleon Bonaparte visited its shores in 1798.  By 1960, the population had risen to 28 million and they were importing one million tons per year of wheat.  Grain imports, wheat and corn, are now running at 15 million tons per year.

Jonathan S. Tobin: Turning a Blind Eye to Homegrown Terror— On Tuesday, Americans commemorated the first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing with solemn ceremonies and appropriate vows to not forget the victims. But in an ironic juxtaposition that few noted, the anniversary fell on the day when it became known that the New York City Police Department had abandoned an effort that was directly aimed at preventing more such instances of homegrown Islamist terrorism. As the New York Times noted in a news story and then celebrated in an editorial, the administration of new Mayor Bill de Blasio has disbanded the NYPD’s Demographics Unit that had the responsibility of monitoring extremists in the local Muslim community. For the Times and de Blasio, the decision by Police Commissioner William Bratton is a campaign promise vindicated and a victory for civil rights. They viewed the surveillance activities of the NYPD as a violation of the rights of Muslims and an unnecessary intrusion into that community’s affairs that amounted to illegal profiling.

4--Scripture of the Day Yahweh

Genesis 2: 18-22

18 Then Yahweh Elohim said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 19 Out of the ground Yahweh Elohim formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. 21 So Yahweh Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 Yahweh Elohim fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

14--Blessings from Revelation 2

Blessings in the Book of Revelation is a book that you need to read, especially now.  There are blessings throughout the Scriptures but Revelation is the only book in the Bible actually containing a specific blessing for reading it. It’s repeated twice, once at the beginning and again at the end. This is the reason that I believe Revelation should be the first step toward studying biblical prophecy. Though not easy to do, Revelation can be broken down and understood by anyone, not just the academic elite. So, Revelation’s blessings are for everyone.  Click here to order the eBook.  Click here to order the paperback.
