The Mishnah is the physical writing of Jewish oral laws.
The oral laws were kept by the Priest/Caste system of society.
After Jerusalem was destroyed, the population enslaved, the Hebrews, "called Jews for Judean slang"
that were Eastern Greeks and running the Court, the Sahendrin, battled, but wrote thee down circa 90 AD.
The Talmud, includes the commentary, etc in the Gemara, along with the Mishnah.
The Messiah in Bar Kochba, 130 AD, was the end of Jews in renamed Judea other than below the mount and on Holidays.
The writings include the trial of Jesus as it correlates with the Apocrypha the Acts of Pilate, which is extracted into John.
While Yeshu was a common name, its a Western derivative of Yeshua, or Joshua, the issue is the Sahendrin did not really execute
Jews. Think of it as a country without the death Penalty. Jesus was a pain in their ass, and a threat to their power.
The siege on the Temple Mount, is historically recorded as more than a turning over of a folding card table.
It was an all out 24 take over in a Militant move, causing massive instability.
The protest being over the silver coin being used, being forbidden in much of the Hebrews, and the outrageous tripling or more of taxes for Sin redemption. It served a great purpose for him to be removed.
So Jewish History, written from this time, as noted by commentary from people living then, Philo, Eusebius, Origen, Tacitus, Valentine, Marcion had great debates about the Religion before the Synods in 350, and the canonization.
Because, like most of those, those looking at History with respect to faith, can see that "what was written" came later,
original writings like the Dead Sea scrolls, Codex Sinaiticus, and many other Apocrypha contain the History of its evolution.
For so many people, across so much territory, to have so many writings, is for those of faith, the Power of their faith.
From the Historical aspect, it doesnt have to disagree with this, it comes from the migration that was both voluntary and enslavement
as the population ran away from war and death.
Think of all the different immigrants and what travels with them. Whether the discussion is Syrian refugees, or how our country is different because we brought in African Americans as slaves.
Really no different.
Anyway. This is a Passion for me, and I sincerely apologize if I have offended anyone.
I hope I havent violated the rules, because I try to speak with this being Historical, Archaeological, and Theological. Academic, if you will.
Religion often offends people, because it includes Dogma, Ideology, and Faith.
To do my work, I need to remove those (it helps to study in Greek).
This allows me to Respect all Faiths and beliefs, with knowledge instead of Fear.
The reason for this, is "Christmas", as I have always wished for what Charlie Brown asked for:
I have been asked by too many to write, teach, start a Church. I cant see it, but Im honored.
Let me go away, and if anyone is interested, PM me....Lets go back to Pinball and Merry Christmas!!!!
