Hebrew Perspectives teaches the Judaic roots of Christianity. Jewish customs, lifestyles, & how they relate to us today. Each Monday HP teaches from a section (parasha) of the Torah (5 books of Moses), from the writings/prophets (haftarah) & from the New Covenant (Brit Chadashah). This is the same cycle that Jews follow to this day & would have been read by the disciples. Read the portion & read the insights from various Apostolic, Messianic & Rabbinical teachers. Enjoy!

Your God is nothing but a thief
A king met Rabban Gamliel and told him: I don't know how to say this, but....your God- yes, your God is nothing but a thief. Here was Adam sleeping the sleep of the just and suddenly God steals one of his ribs. - Rabban Gamliel's daughter chose to answer the sovereign: Do you know what happened to me last night, Your Majesty? Thieves entered my house; they took all my silver and in its place they left me gold. - If only I could be the victim of such robbers said the king. - Well, said the sage's daughter, that is precisely what happened to Adam. True, God did take a rib from him, but in exchange he gave him a beautiful woman who helped him when he needed help, served him when he needed to be served and was silent when he talked.
