Giving of the Law

Mar-01-2002 at 11:24 PM (UTC+3 Nineveh, Assyria)

Shlama, Akhay.

I'm interested in learning more about the implication of these verses:

Acts 7:53 ...who have recieved the law 0k0lmd 0ndqwp dyb

Gal. 3:19 0k0lm dyb 0swmn wh Bhywt0w


This tradition seems to stem from the tradition that is now called 'Enochic Judaism'.

Any insights?

b'Yeshua

Shlama Akhi Rob,

I'm not familiar at all with Enochic Judaism - please fill me in.

These verses are interesting in that all Semitic tradition (including Islamic ones) hold that inspiration and revelation of God's word is actually delivered by the action of angelic beings.

Shlama Akhi Paul,

'Enochic Judaism' simply describes the sectarian proponents of the book of Enoch and its accompanying teachings. Gabriel Boccaccini has shown, and I agree, that these were none other than the 'Essenes'. 'The law being given by angels' is one of the beliefs. However, in the Torah itself I have not found any evidence of this conception.

The difference between Sadducees and Pharisees is said in Acts to be that the former did not believe in angels.

Anyway, these are ideas that I'm chewing on. If anyone has any insights that they would like to share, I would love to hear them.

In Yeshua,
Rob

Assyrian \ã-'sir-é-an\ adj or n (1998)   1:  descendants of the ancient empire of Ashur   2:  the Assyrians, although representing but one single nation as the direct heirs of the ancient Assyrian Empire, are now doctrinally divided, inter sese, into five principle ecclesiastically designated religious sects with their corresponding hierarchies and distinct church governments, namely, Church of the East, Chaldean, Maronite, Syriac Orthodox and Syriac Catholic.  These formal divisions had their origin in the 5th century of the Christian Era.  No one can coherently understand the Assyrians as a whole until he can distinguish that which is religion or church from that which is nation -- a matter which is particularly difficult for the people from the western world to understand; for in the East, by force of circumstances beyond their control, religion has been made, from time immemorial, virtually into a criterion of nationality.   3:  the Assyrians have been referred to as Aramaean, Aramaye, Ashuraya, Ashureen, Ashuri, Ashuroyo, Assyrio-Chaldean, Aturaya, Chaldean, Chaldo, ChaldoAssyrian, ChaldoAssyrio, Jacobite, Kaldany, Kaldu, Kasdu, Malabar, Maronite, Maronaya, Nestorian, Nestornaye, Oromoye, Suraya, Syriac, Syrian, Syriani, Suryoye, Suryoyo and Telkeffee. — Assyrianism verb
