't Gulden Maagdenvlies: kampvuren langs de evenaar


Olympische mydizandloperkampioenschappen: door de nacht van smart & zorgen ploegt de hele stoet der
mensheid voort tussen zwartwitte gaten, zandpaden, geasfalteerde straten, kathedralen en discotheken?!!


The themes
in which the new sensitivity in Judaism
expressed itself in those days were interwoven:
this dynamic method of thematic interplay is clearly recognizable
within Yehoshua's own
dynamic style
...

By his manner of teaching,
he was able to interlace his sayings as well as link them
with the broader web of Jewish motifs. Clement of Rome reports the Lord to say,
"AS YOU DO, SO IT WILL BE DONE TO YOU TOO!"

Is my myDi as shy as your myDi?
That is to say, as you treat your neighbor,
so "G d" will treat you.

[It's a matter of
what goes up and comes down:
water is wet and the wind is blowing over all plants,
animals and human beings. The world keeps turning around
and so we are too!]

This is a fascinating variation
on the socalled
"Golden Rule",
accepted as a moral imperative by many nations?!
Yeshua quoted this maxim when he said,
"Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them,
for this is the law and the prophets
[& by doing so,
you
...!]"
{Matai 7:12}

Behandel anderen dus steeds zoals jij zou willen dat ze jou behandelen!

 Among the Jews,
even before the time of Yeshu,
it was regarded as the summation of the entire law.
Hillel had said,
"What is distasteful to yourself, do not do to your neighbor;
that is the whole law, the rest is but deduction!"
Jews of that time
probably interpreted this precept as follows:
"'G d' metes out to you in the same measure in which you mete out to your neighbor.
The consequence is, '
AS A PERSON MAKES
REQUEST FROM THE LORD FOR HIS OWN SOUL,
IN THE SAME WAY LET HIM BEHAVE
TOWARD EVERY LIVING SOUL!'"
Both Yehoshua and Hillel before him
saw the Golden Rule as a summary of the Law of Mosheh?!
This becomes intelligible when we consider that the biblical saying,
"YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF!"
{LEV 19:18},
was esteemed by Yeshua and by the Jews in general
as a chief commandment of the law.
And even nowadays some of us still argue
among ourselves against the assertion of modern Jewish & Christian scholars,
"that the old synagogue, even in New Testament times, had undestood the command to love one's neighbor to be contained in the universal obligation to love others!"
Let's assume
that this is right:
with what certainty, however, can we conclude
that Yeshu specifically {or especially} extended this command to love one's neighbor
to embrace
{ALL}
Gentiles?
An old Aramaic translation of this biblical precept
runs like this,
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR,
FOR WHATEVER DISPLEASES YOU,
DO NOT TO HIM!

This
periphrastic translation
turns the phrase 'as yourself'
into the negative form of the Golden Rule.
The saying, "Love your neighbor," was understood as a positive commandment,
and the words "as yourself" as the negative commandment included in it.
You are not to treat your neighbor
with hatred, because you
would not like him
to treat you
in that way.

Therefore,
by means of Jewish parallels we are able
to see how the Golden Rule in Matai 7:12 and
the commandment to love our neighbor
in Matai 22:39 are related
within "JC's
teaching"
