  The teachings of Jesus are very much like the Jewish Rabbis in tractate Avot: The Sayings of the Fathers -- almost no laws, consisting instead of short statements of advice, ethics, and wisdom. One of the most important teachings of Jesus – that Americans (Christians and everyone else) urgently need to do today is found in Matthew 5:21-26 -- “how to exercise impulse control and self-discipline when they become angry!” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/e21de67d035e/thinking-like-a-member-of-the-kingdom-of-elohim-in-2025

  The Parable of the Great Day of Judgment is probably one of the most well-known parables of Jesus (Matthew 25:31-46).

  And Yahweh said: “Behold,  I make a covenant . Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you  are  shall see the work of Yahweh.
