Tabor makes Bblical history and archaelogy even more interesting than Harrison Ford documentaries about lost ark etc. If I have had such great lecturers... well, I did so still interested in history and dreaming about co-dig in some real site. These still are amazing.

Ritual cleansing is different from baptism. One is to insure spiritual purity in sacred places, whereas the other is a form of spiral rebirth. I don't think the members of the Qumran felt the need to be reborn every time they entered the compound.

Is there a way to reconcile the Essene community with early Christians in light of a change of priesthood? See below especially v. 12. Hebrews 7:11¶If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. The "apocryphal" and "psuedoepigraphic" writings played a tremendous role in both the Qumran community and the early Christian understanding. I am pretty convinced that the Essenes simply died off and/or were absorbed into a better New Covenant understanding of scripture i.e. Chriatianity. Thoughts?
@livingbranches7779 ай бұрын
By better I mean a more fulfilled understanding. Also it's interesting that Rabbi Akiva was interested in producing a hyper literal Greek Bible to compete with the Christians prophetic use of the LXX and he ends up not endorsing a lot of books that Christians both Christians and Essenes could point to to back up their beliefs...the apocryphal and "psuedoepigraphal" works were the stepping stones of a New Covenant paradigm that Messiah would definitely have needed to support the early communities' beliefs. I don't know if anyone can actually throw "God's sovereignty"(not in the Calvinist sense) out of the equation.BTW I used to go to a COC... That joke was hilarious 😂

To suggest that they fought Rome is insane also and it ignores the fact that the Bible said they would have been present at the Jordan River with John You forget that their literature says that they were delivered from the congregation of the violent This does not typify anything they are speaking of and not only that but their calendar written BC ended in 74 ad so they knew what was going to happen and they would have never stayed to fight Rome The occupation would have been vacant at that time and they would have been in Mount Pella with the rest of the church

I find it completely insane to divorce this community from being present at the Jordan River with John the Baptist seeing as how the Bible clearly says that all of the region of Judea went to be baptized by John I find it even more ridiculous to try to divorce their waiting for messiah from John baptizing in the Jordan whenever they clearly prophesied that the teacher of the congregation was going to bless the prince

The Codex Sinaiticus (mid-4th century) along with the Codex Vaticanus (4th Century) and Codex Alexandrinus (5th century)? Believe extant copies of the Septuagint date from 4th century, so would lean towards that too.

@@yosefgreen3130 That's right, the immediate context is a war camp, but sects and rabbis have interpreted it as having wider implications. The Qumran text in particular drew the implication that the latrines should be a certain distance from their settlement, see the War Scroll. The point about the Shabbat is that the Torah places a limit on how far you can move on that day. If that's combined with a rule that says the latrines must be further away then a dilemma arises. So you're right, there's no specific rule for that in the Torah - it's a matter of interpretation and maybe a question for the Rabbis.

The name "Palestine" is much more ancient than the Romans, going back to the Hebrew "Pelesheth" and Egyptian and Assyrian cognates. Herodotus in the 5th century BC names the land between Phoenicia and Egypt as "Palaistine"
