All of the extant authentic sayings and teachings of Yeshua remembered in the earliest oral Jesus traditions and collections compiled by his Jewish disciples A.D. 30-50 before they were rendered into Greek, misunderstood, and Christianized in the later Gospels. •Translated in terms of the original Hebrew/Aramaic vocabulary and idioms used by Yeshua •Explained in the context of Second Temple messianic haggadah, Merkabah, prophetic, and wisdom traditions •Organized and presented as a coherent body of exquisite spiritual teaching that was lost and forgotten in Christianity.

My fictional biography of Jesus is designed to introduce readers to the forgotten world of Jewish Messianic, Kabbalistic, prophetic, wisdom, and Merkabah mysticism that was known to the Jewish disciples of Yeshua, but completely lost to emerging gentile Christianity. It provides a simple, non-academic way for readers to understand what only profound academic study can reveal, and illuminates the authentic historical teachings and probable spiritual practices of the Master Yeshua

The Gospel of Thomas preserves a core of authentic Aramaic sayings of Yeshua older than the earliest Christian writings. When they are isolated from the second-century Gnostic framework, they reveal many of Yeshua's inner-circle kabbalistic teachings. Scholars can restore much of the pre-kabbalistic tradition of Yeshua's era through sources like the Sepher Yetzirah, Sepher Ha-Razim, and the haggadah preserved in the Mishna, Babylonian and Palestinian Talmuds, Philo of Alexandria, and the Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament. These were the Holy Scriptures of Essenes, Zadokites, and other messianic Jews of the period, including Yeshua and his disciples. The Psalms they chanted in worship and Shabbat Seder were not just those of our Old Testament, but the messianic Odes of Solomon and others preserved in Enochian and apocalyptic scripture. A study of this forgotten sacred literature allows modern scholars to understand and reconstruct the oral Kabbalah of Yeshua embedded in the Gospel of Thomas.

Jesus said, "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to little children." Jesus (Yeshua in his native Aramaic) spoke out against public displays of piety, religious rituals, empty repetition of prayers, and publicizing charitable giving. He also spoke against calling anyone father or rabbi, and that his true enemies were the religious elites. Jesus also never said, "Go to church" or "Worship me," and he counted many women among his followers, and they were credited with funding his ministry. Yeshua Speaks: The Paleo-Christian Teachings of Jesus for Nonbelievers reveals these and other little-known facts about Jesus and his teachings. It also dispels many of the misunderstandings that turn people away from Christianity and keep them from reading the actual words of Jesus. It does not include the virgin birth, miracles, prophecies, or death and resurrection, just the essential spoken words of Jesus in the Gospels. This book is for atheists, agnostics, disenchanted or disillusioned Christians, or anyone from other faiths who knows nothing of the teachings of Jesus and has had no exposure to the basic teachings of Jesus other than what they may have heard from mainstream sources. The 207 sayings included in Yeshua Speaks are grouped in categories ranging from Anxiety to Wealth and include a section of 51 passages on what Jesus said about religion, religious leaders, and the outwardly religious. Yeshua Speaks presents the essential words of Jesus as his first-century audience would have heard them preached and shows that Jesus' message is more than just a collection of helpful sayings, but a spiritual manifesto just as revolutionary, and desperately needed, today as it was 2,000 years ago. Jesus primarily preached a vision of a God that loves and cares about you and wants you to have a better life, not a threatening message of condemnation and eternal damnation. "There is a God, so stop worrying and enjoy your life," is what lies at the heart of this book, and the core of Jesus' teachings. Stephen Snyder is an advocate for a spiritual revolution with a return to the basics of Christianity and a movement based primarily on the New Testament and principally the teachings in the four Gospels of Jesus. He is the author of seven nonfiction books.

Channeled Transmissions from Yeshua offering evolved, authentic, and original wisdom for the deepest realization of truth, love, and peace through balance, liberation, and transcendence from the burdens that anchor us to suffering and fear. As a child, Carissa Schumacher was told by an angelic presence that she would be a channel for Yeshua of Nazareth. She did not know what that meant at the time nor the impact it would eventually have on her life and countless others. After devoting much of her life to service as an intuitive guide and spirit medium, in late 2019, Yeshua's Divine Presence suddenly came through her channel for the first time. Over the next months, Yeshua shared his timely, universal, and revelatory messages. The Freedom Transmissions is the result. This singular book offers a pathway to peace by following the Four Elements of Balance: Simplicity, Stability, Surrender, and Stillness. When we embody these four energies, we create and attract the most abundance, nourishment, joy, and flow to our lives. The Freedom Transmissions unburdens us from unnecessary suffering, strengthens our faith and sense of wholeness, and restores balance and peace, reminding us that we are One with the Divine. The joy of these Transmissions is that they are for all people and not just some people on the basis of beliefs or dogma. Yeshua welcomes in all people who come in humility and a genuine desire to find and know self as One with God. This essential text encourages us to choose Faith over Fear, Forgiveness over Blame, Freedom over Suppression, and ushers us from the era of division and polarity to an era of co-creation, transparency, compassion, and equality.

Jesus was a Jew who was born, lived, and died within first-century Judaism. His lifestyle was characteristic of the Jews of that day. Since the New Testament is highly Hebraic- background, writers, culture, religion, traditions, concepts, etc.- any full understanding needs this perspective.

Reveals the true role of James, the brother of Jesus, in early Christianity • Uses evidence from the canonical Gospels, apocryphal texts, and the writings of the Church Fathers to reveal the teachings of Jesus as transmitted to his chosen successor: James • Demonstrates how the core message in the teachings of Jesus is an expansion not a repudiation of the Jewish religion • Shows how James can serve as a bridge between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam James has been a subject of controversy since the founding of the Church. Evidence that Jesus had siblings contradicts Church dogma on the virgin birth, and James is also a symbol of Christian teachings that have been obscured. While Peter is traditionally thought of as the leader of the apostles and the “rock” on which Jesus built his church, Jeffrey Bütz shows that it was James who led the disciples after the crucifixion. It was James, not Peter, who guided them through the Church's first major theological crisis--Paul's interpretation of the teachings of Jesus. Using the canonical Gospels, writings of the Church Fathers, and apocryphal texts, Bütz argues that James is the most overlooked figure in the history of the Church. He shows how the core teachings of Jesus are firmly rooted in Hebraic tradition; reveals the bitter battles between James and Paul for ideological supremacy in the early Church; and explains how Paul's interpretations, which became the foundation of the Church, are in many ways its betrayal. Bütz reveals a picture of Christianity and the true meaning of Christ's message that are sometimes at odds with established Christian doctrine and concludes that James can serve as a desperately needed missing link between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam to heal the wounds of centuries of enmity.
