1
One of the surprising things that await any student of the New Testament
2
when they study the text academically whether at university
3
or at home reading academic texts is just how unorthodox
4
and heretical the earliest Christian beliefs were compared to the later beliefs of the church.
5
And I just want to share with you what some of these beliefs actually were
6
because they I found them quite surprising when I first read about them and I'm going to use as my guide
7
Jimmy Dunn's book unity
8
and diversity in the new testament an inquiry into the character of earliest christianity
9
and Jimmy Dunn as I've said before is a leading new testament scholar professor
10
at the university of durham
11
and he says in his book page 255 under the chapter
12
just how orthodox was earliest palestinian christianity he says the following the first christians were jews
13
luke's account of the range of nationalities present at pentecost this
14
is the great falling of the holy spirit in acts chapter
15
2 where they where they all receive the holy spirit people
16
from all the nations of the earth apparently are congregated there
17
but they were all jews and proselytites in other words they weren't gentiles these were committed people committed to judaism
18
and even though they believed that jesus was the messiah
19
and risen from the dead that did not alter their standing
20
or outlook as jews
21
and dunn continues they apparently continued to observe the law without
22
question this is the jewish law the 613 commandments given to moses
23
not interpreting their traditions of Jesus's words and actions in a manner hostile to the law
24
nothing in what they understood about Jesus teaching told them to
25
reject the law hence the Pharisees seem to have seen in them little
26
or nothing of the threat which Jesus had posed
27
acts 5 33 onwards and not a few became members of the Jesus sect
28
while still remaining Pharisees Acts 15 5 21 20 hence to the shock of the Cornelius episode to the Jerusalem believers
29
it had not occurred to them that faith in Jesus the Christ might make the purity law irrelevant
30
so they had no understanding from Jesus that he had abolished the law
31
or made what was unclean clean in regards to food at
32
all he continues they evidently continue to be firmly attached to
33
the temple the Jerusalem temple attending daily at the hour hours of prayer acts 2 46
34
and 3 1 regularly coming together there for mutual support
35
and in order to teach
36
and evangelize the the hour of prayer is the hour of
37
sacrifice it's not like going to church in the church of England
38
or episcopalian church for prayers this is the temple was built for sacrifice and that's why
39
it existed another characteristic was their distinctive belief in the imminent
40
parousia of Jesus that's the return of Jesus the son of
41
man this belief however seems to have stayed within the framework
42
of Jewish eschatological hope this is probably the chief reason why they remained
43
so firmly rooted in Jerusalem
44
and centered on the temple for the temple was the obvious focal point of the imminent consummation as Malachi 3.1 clearly indicated.
45
This would also explain why there was such a lack of concern for the Gentiles
46
or for mission outside of Jerusalem amongst the earliest Jerusalem community
47
they didn't go into all of the nations to evangelize as
48
later christian tradition believed they did they stayed in jerusalem they
49
stayed amongst the jews as jews they were still only thinking in terms of israel acts 1 6 22
50
and following and 2 39 all that are far off
51
which refers to the jews of the diaspora in short he says it is evident
52
that the earliest community in no sense felt themselves to be
53
a new religion distinct from judaism this is a really important
54
point today after two thousand years of christian tradition we think of christianity
55
and judaism as a completely separate and independent religions but actually the earliest community after jesus ascended into heaven were Jews,
56
practicing Jews and within the Jewish faith there was no sense of a boundary line drawn between themselves
57
and their fellow Jews they saw themselves simply as fulfilled Judaism, the beginning of eschatological Israel
58
and the Jewish authorities evidently did not see them as anything very different from themselves they held one or two eccentric beliefs, so did other jewish sects
59
but otherwise they were holy jewish indeed we may put the
60
point even more strongly since judaism has always been concerned more with orthopraxy than with orthodoxy
61
right practice rather than right belief the earliest christians were not simply jews
62
but in fact continued to be quite orthodox jews these were
63
no liberals jews they were no apostate jews these were very traditional committed jews notice then
64
that this is the group with whom christianity proper all began only their belief in jesus as messiah
65
and risen and their belief
66
that the last days were upon them mark them out as different from the majority of their fellow jews.
67
none of the other great christian distinctiveness distinctives that come to expression in and through Paul are present.
68
So none of the great theological beliefs developed by Paul much later on you know the idea
69
that Jesus the messiah died for people's sins is absent, the idea the law has been abolished is absent, the idea that the temple is no longer central is absent
70
and so the idea that that gentiles don't follow the law if they become part of judaism is absent.
71
Rather altogether it is a form of christianity
72
which we today would scarcely recognize jewish christianity indeed
73
or perhaps more precisely a form of jewish massianism a massianic renewal movement within pre-70s judaism
74
so this is before the temple was destroyed in a.d 70 of course and then dunn says
75
if we now shift our glance from the beginning of christianity forward 150 years
76
or so into the second century and beyond it at once becomes evident
77
and this is very interesting that the situation has significantly altered to put it mildly.
78
Jewish Christianity so far from being the only form of Christianity is now being classified as unorthodox and heretical.
79
there seem to have been several groups of Jewish Christians whose
80
beliefs put them beyond the pale of the emerging great church
81
one at least preserved an ancient title for early christians nazareans
82
acts 24 5 the quran of course says something very interesting
83
about these people what were they called in the quran the
84
name probably embodied a claim to preserve the true tradition against
85
the antinomian Christian communities elsewhere antinomian meaning those who were against
86
the law who rejected the law now the best-known sect whose
87
name became a kind of stereotype in the great church polemic
88
against Jewish Christians was the Ebionites the Ebionites that's a name to remember
89
if want to really grasp the original faith of the early church rather than Paul's Christianity the Ebionites
90
and Dunn outlines three significant characteristics of this of this now
91
heretical Jewish Christian faith first one not surprisingly is their faithful adherence to the Jewish law
92
Justin Martyr the second century gentile convert to Paul's Christianity , very famous early father,
93
knew of Jews who believed in Christ and who kept the law without insisting
94
that all Christians should but he also knew others who not only kept the law themselves
95
but who also compelled Gentile believers to keep it too
96
so that's very interesting and then the next section here
97
and I'm skimming lot of the detail here just to give
98
you a concise flavour rather than exhaustive survey is what Dunn calls the exaltation of James
99
and the denigration of Paul the exaltation of James the brother the actual brother of Jesus
100
and the denigration of Paul that's obviously the apostle Paul it
101
is clearest in the clementine literature now the clementine literature was
102
a body of jewish christian writings from the second century it
103
is clearest in the clementine literature where james appears as the
104
head of the jerusalem jerusalem church from the first ordained bishop in it by the lord as for peter he
105
and the other apostles are shown as subordinate to james
106
and must give account of their work to him
107
which is very interesting so james is the very very head of the church
108
exaltation of james is accompanied as i said by denigration of paul so you know really putting him down.
109
Araneus, Origen, Eusebius and Epiphanius number rejection of Paul as one of the characteristics of the Ebionite faith
110
and of the other Jewish Christian sects as well in the clementines this Jewish writings again Paul is vehemently attacked.
111
Peter calls him the man who is my enemy
112
and dismisses his claim to have seen the risen christ wow
113
in jewish christianity in general paul was the arch enemy responsible for the rest of christianity's rejection of the law
114
and himself an apostate from the law i mean this is
115
seriously interesting paul was seen as an absolute danger heretic apostate from the original Jewish Christian faith of the earliest church.
116
he was not seen as some kind of hero he was an enemy the enemy
117
because of course he taught people to abandon key aspects of the Jewish faith and perhaps now the most significant
118
belief of the Ebionites was called adoptionism one of the most
119
frequently attested features of Ebionite Christology is found in clearest expression
120
in one of the early fathers description of it as a chap called Epiphanius
121
and he describes there the Ebionite view is this
122
Christ they call the prophet of truth
123
and Christ the son of god on account of his progress in virtue
124
and the exaltation which descended upon him from above they want him to be only a prophet
125
and man and son of god and christ and mere man as we said before who attained by a virtuous life
126
the right to be called son of god so for the ebionites the original christian belief
127
in the earliest community all the way through to the second century these people who inherited and continued
128
that tradition jesus was a prophet a man who by virtue of his excellence could be called son of god
129
but certainly was not divine and dunn continues
130
if these are indeed the three principal features of heretical Jewish
131
Christianity then a striking point emerges this is the features of
132
second century Ebionite views heretical Jewish Christianity would appear to be not
133
so very different from the faith of the first Jewish believers' wow and then he continue here
134
a bit about the it gives a bit more information here about the adoptionist Christology the idea
135
that in a sense Jesus was adopted by God on an honorary kind of designation as son of God
136
but not literally begotten of God through all the ages and divine anything like that.
137
The adoptionist Christology of the Ebonites too seems to have a
138
firm anchor point in the earliest Christian attempts to express faith in Jesus the Christ.
139
If you look at Acts 2 36, Acts 13 33 for example
140
and also note acts 2 22 jesus of nazareth a man attested to you by god
141
so he was a man credited or tested by god
142
and also 10 38 jesus was able to do to do good
143
and heal for god was with him it doesn't say he was god
144
but god was with him very interesting
145
and then just to conclude this before i weary your patience totally final paragraph
146
and this is jimmy dunn's summary of this
147
and this the author jimmy dunn is a christian he believes
148
in the trinity he's an ordained minister of the church
149
but he's an honest historian which is why he is
150
so honored by other historians and scholars for his integrity in his research
151
and he says this in short apart from the different attitudes
152
to the temple cult the measure of agreement between the earliest jewish believers
153
and the ebionites is quite striking the heretical jewish christianity of the second
154
and third centuries apparently has no closer parallel than the earliest christian community in jerusalem
155
indeed on the basis of this evidence the heretical Jewish Christianity
156
of the later centuries could quite properly claim to be more
157
truly the heir of earliest Christianity than any other expression of Christianity wow
158
so just read that again this is talking about the ebionites the heretical Jewish Christianity of the second
159
and third centuries has no closer parallel than the earliest christian
160
community in jerusalem heretical jewish christianity of the later centuries could
161
quite properly claim to be more truly the heir of earliest
162
christianity than any other expression of christianity than paul than the catholic church than the gnostics than whoever whatever whatever
163
and what do they believe

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?
Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
