FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH IN JESUS<br />

M. M. NINAN<br />

Sanhedrin, 67a ~ Hanged on the eve <strong>of</strong> Passover.<br />

Sanhedrin, 43a ~ On the eve <strong>of</strong> Passover they hanged Jesus.<br />

Sanhedrin 90a ~Those who read the New Testament will have no portion in the world to come.<br />

Shabbath 116a (p. 569) ~Jews must destroy the books <strong>of</strong> the Christians, i.e. the New Testament.<br />

Rosh Hashanah 17a ~ Christians (”minim”) and others who reject the Talmud will go to hell<br />

and be punished there for all generations.<br />

Sanhedrin 105ab ~ “Jesus fornicated with his jackass.<br />

Gittin 57a ~ Jesus is in hell and is being punished by being boiled in semen. Christians are<br />

boiled in dung.<br />

Talmudic passages are also used as the basis for the writing titled Toledot Yeshu, which<br />

translated means The Geneaology <strong>of</strong> Yeshu. This writing reports a distorted view <strong>of</strong> who Jesus<br />

was, with many blasphemous statements directed towards Him, claiming that he was the<br />

rebellious illegitimate son <strong>of</strong> a Roman soldier (Pantera) born <strong>of</strong> unclean conception or niddah,<br />

who practiced witchcraft by speaking the sacred or ineffefable name <strong>of</strong> God who tried to lead<br />

Israel astray. In this writing, it is also stated that he set up a brick and worshipped it, and that he<br />

was hung, which denies the blood atonement, and His finished work on the cross."<br />

Why is the name given as Yeshu and not Yeshua?<br />

" The actual Biblical name for Jesus in Hebrew is spelled Yod-Shin-Vav-Ayin which is Yeshua<br />

(H3442~H3443), a shortened form <strong>of</strong> Yehoshua (H3091)."<br />

Yeshua means He is salvation or He saves.<br />

"By shortening the name to Yeshu, they effectively deny His work <strong>of</strong> redemption.<br />

In order to get the name Yeshu, the ayin is dropped from His Biblical Hebrew name.<br />

All Hebrew letters represent something in Judaism. As an example, the lettter represents the<br />

hand. The letter ayin in the Hebrew language, is known to be representative <strong>of</strong> the eyes. Here<br />

is an excerpt from the Toldoth Yeshu:<br />

Miriam gave birth to a son and named him Yehoshua, after her brother. This name later<br />

deteriorated to Yeshu.<br />

The above quote from the Toldoth Yeshu tells us that His name deteriorated to Yeshu.<br />

Deteriorated is a term that obviously does not have a positive connotation. It should be noted<br />
