Jesus Disinherited Interpretation

430 Words2 Pages

Many and varied are the interpretations dealing with the teachings and the life of Jesus of
Nazareth. But few of these interpretations deal with what the teachings and the life of Jesus have to say to those who stand, at a moment in human history, with their backs against the wall
(Thurman, 1949).
Jesus was a Jew, meaning he was born visually, culturally, religiously, and ethnically different. Most of world history is man subjugating or discriminating based on appearance
(Chapter 1 of “Jesus & The Disinherited”: Jesus: An Interpretation.). Of course it may be argued that the fact that Jesus was a Jew is merely coincidental, that God could have expressed himself as easily and effectively in a Roman. True, but the fact is he did not (Thurman, …show more content…

It is not a singular thing to hear a sermon that defines what should be the attitude of the Christian toward people who are less fortunate than himself. Again and again our missionary appeal is on the basis of the Christian responsibility to the needy, the ignorant, and the so-called backward peoples of the earth (Chapter 1 of “Jesus &
The Disinherited”: Jesus: An Interpretation.).

Jesus was a member of a minority group in the midst of a larger, dominant and controlling group. Jesus was fully man and knew the powerful sway the demonic kingdom sought over the mind of man, except that he never succumbed to it (Thurman, 1949).
Some major points are that we have to love our neighbors as in our brothers and sisters.
To sum it up, our family. Even when our people are down and out as well as less fortunate with not having nothing. We have to find more ways to help people in those situations. When we call on Jesus help and we have all faith in him- he will stretch his hand out to us and help us in our time in need. If it is meant for us to have it then God will provide. We have to teach each other

    Both these factors comes out noticeably in Luke’s writings. As Luke used medical terminology and also focused on the fact that a Christian does not need to be a Jew but God had come to all people. This is seen clearly in Luke 2:32 ‘A light for revelation to the Gentiles’ (Zondervan NIV Study Bible, 2014) This is in accordance with the prophecies in the Old Testament, Isaiah 49; Isaiah 9:6-7; Psalm 98:3; Malachi 4:2.

    Of course, there are many Christians out there who studied the Bible and its figures and are aware of Jesus' suffering and may even be aware of him personally struggling. Some may even be aware of his marginalized status. However, this does not fully negate those who are not aware and may even express some disgust at the idea of Jesus not being presented as white. To better illustrate this point, some people with Christian aligned beliefs often use the argument of the Bible to demean certain groups of people. More recently in America, this can be found in discussions regarding abortion and trans people.

  • The Singer Solution To World Poverty Analysis

    In this paper I will be arguing against Peter Singer’s views on poverty, which he expresses in his paper “The Singer Solution to World Poverty”. Singer argues that all people with wealth surplus to their essential needs are morally obligated to prevent the suffering of those in dire situations. I will argue that you can not hold people morally obligated to prevent the suffering of others, and that people can only be held morally obligated to prevent suffering that they themselves caused. To begin, we will look at Singers beliefs and arguments regarding poverty and the responsibility of people to help those in need. Singer’s first arguments revolves around a girl named Dora, who is a retired schoolteacher, who is barely making a living writing

    After Jesus healed the leper, Jesus ordered him to “‘see that you say nothing to anyone’” (Mk 1:44). At first glance it appears that in this scene Jesus is fixated on keeping his Messianic identity a secret. Yet, there lies a central fallacy in this belief because Jesus already had a reputation as a miraculous healer. In fact, Mark claims that Jesus “went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons” (Mk 1:39).

    In this parable, Jesus is teaching any who will listen that not everyone will find the time to hear his words, but everyone who does will flourish and spread his word like a flower spreads its seeds when it blooms. Jesus and the 12 apostles were just starting off, people didn’t believe at first, so Jesus made this speech to say that those who can believe, will believe. When talking about the seeds, and some failing to find good soil, he also stated that there were “some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times. ”This pericope in the Gospel of Mark serves to say that even though there are those who won’t listen, those who do will tell others, and those others will tell even more people, and eventually the word of Jesus will spread
