Many priests and pastors have invited me to visit their countries to preach, even for an online sermon, and I always decline. I do not know how, and I am not interested in learning; it is not for me.
But I am a teacher and I love to teach, now to the topic:
A friend on Facebook posted a long story about
IS IT TRUE THAT THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCIL CONDEMNS THE APOSTLE PAUL?
There is an important question regarding “The Second Vatican Council and the Condemnation of the Apostle Paul”…
So, I need to reply: Next time, search the internet to verify the story before posting it.
I told him that it was a false statement and why
He replied: I will not argue with it Neither to You Bishop,,, that’s why the Praise is question mark right?…
…we should teach the whole truth, not half-truth, for we are accountable to that when we face Jesus Christ Our Saviour. We should practice truthfully through God, not for pleasing people in this earthly world.
I replied: If you want to teach the actual teaching of Jesus, you need to convert to the Jewish faith.
He answered to that: what? Don’t deceive
Me,,, Jewish teaching is telling the truth? You exposed your true color,,, never,,, Jesus Christ has his own True Church founded 33AD entrusted to Peter ( Matthew 16: 18 – 19,,, 28:19 – 20 ),,, as per my knowledge Jewish Teaching is half Truth… Half truth is a Sin… Go your Way and I will go my way,let met in cross Road to face Jesus Christ Our Saviour which crucifhed by Jewish Teacher of the Law Brived Jewish People to Let Pilate convict Jesus to be crucifhed, amen…
Now, my last reply to my statement:
What does Catholicism say about this statement: Jesus was a Jewish Teacher, teaching Jewish faith to Jewish people.
Catholics affirm that Jesus was a Jew, born into a Jewish family and practicing the Jewish faith. He taught Jews, but his message was also intended for all people. His teachings were rooted in and built upon the Jewish tradition, and he considered himself the fulfillment of Jewish prophecies.
This is supported by the New Testament, which portrays Jesus as a devout Jew who observed the Torah and taught in synagogues.
Some key points to understand regarding Catholics’ perspective on Jesus’ Jewish identity:
Jesus as a Rabbi:
Catholics recognize Jesus as a Rabbi, a teacher of Jewish law and tradition. He taught in synagogues and emphasized the importance of fulfilling the Torah.
Continuity and Newness:
While Jesus taught within the Jewish tradition, his message introduced a new covenant and understanding of God. Catholics believe that Jesus’ ministry completed and fulfilled Judaism, not abolished it.
The Role of the Jewish People:
Catholics acknowledge the special relationship God has with the Jewish people. They believe that Jews are God’s chosen people and that Jesus came to bring salvation to all people, including Jews.
It’s important to note that while Catholics acknowledge Jesus’ Jewish identity, there can be different interpretations of his mission and relationship with Judaism. Some theological discussions focus on the nature of his divinity and the relationship between Christianity and Judaism. However, the core belief that Jesus was a Jew who taught Jews remains consistent within Catholic theology.
For a more nuanced understanding of Catholic perspectives on Jews and Judaism, consider exploring documents like the Second Vatican Council’s “Nostra Aetate”, which addresses interreligious relations and emphasizes the shared heritage of Christians and Jews.
What Catholic says about this statement: Jesus was a Jewish Teacher, teaching Jewish faith to Jewish people.
The Catholic Church recognizes Jesus’ Jewish identity and his roots within Judaism.
Explanation
Jesus was Jewish: The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that Jesus was “born a Jew of a daughter of Israel”. He grew up observing Jewish scriptures, customs, and traditions.
Jesus taught Jewish people: During his earthly ministry, Jesus primarily taught Jewish people in Galilee and Jerusalem, and his message was rooted in Jewish scripture and prophecy.
The Fulfillment of Judaism: Catholic teaching sees Jesus’ ministry as the fulfillment of the Old Covenant and the Jewish faith, establishing a New Covenant for all people.
However, the Catholic Church does not believe Jesus’ teachings were exclusively for Jewish people, nor did he intend to create a movement solely within Judaism.
A Universal Message: Jesus’ instructions to his disciples included the command to make disciples of “all nations,” signifying a mission beyond the Jewish community to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. This indicates a broader, universal scope for his teachings and the resulting Church, which is open to people of all backgrounds.
