NIV Bible References to Tanakh - Have Christians misunderstood Tanakh?

I had been a Christian for 53 years and believed that "Jesus is the son of god. I am a worthless sinner but god loves me so much that he sent his son to die on the cross. If I accept Jesus as my lord and savior I will go to heaven. If I don't believe in Jesus I will go to hell."

I accepted Jesus as my lord and savior 30 years ago & believed that all my sins are forgiven. I loved Jesus. I never believed in trinity but that Jesus is the way to god. I did what best I could do to live a good life obeying what the Greek texts and pastors taught.

My G-d blessed me in what ever I did and provided with me all I need including a retirement with financial security, health, & daily needs so I could spend the rest of my days doing things I loved and helping the poor with the skills G-d gave me.

About a year ago I started to feel the hunger to know G-d & Jesus more intimately, so I started studying the Tanakh and found that G-d is a Loving & Merciful G-d who loves us so much that he created this universe so we can enjoy it and be a partner in nurturing it and taking care of it. Pastors always taught that the old testament god is too holy for me to approach and that is why Jesus was sent so he can be a mediator for me and allow god to tolerate my filthiness. 

As I read more and more of Tanakh, I realized that G-d is so Loving and will accept us if we repent and stay away from sin. Every time I got a better understanding of G-d and what he expects of me, the conflicting teachings of the pastors started to flash back and there were way too many contradictions to just ignore. 

I saw a need to look into these conflicting messages in a more structured and detailed way. In subsequent posts I will share the outcome of this journey where I will take every single reference that the Greek Text makes to Tanakh and share my understanding. This journey is ongoing so will keep updating the post as I cover new chapters and books of the Greek Text.

G-d Bless and Seek THE Truth.

Is the law not based on Faith? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:12 to Leviticus 18:5

Image
Paul makes a very wrong statement that the law is not based on faith. I believe his view is that anyone who keeps the law expects that G-d will bless them even if they don't believe, love, fear G-d.  This is a lie. There are several passages in Tanakh that talk about the blessings that G-d will give those who love him and keep his commands. The teaching of Tanakh is very consistent that one needs to have faith in G-d and show that faith my living to the standards of G-d's laws. All Images are links to Google Images.

Was Jesus the cornerstone that David wrote about? ~ Cross reference of Luke 20:17 to Psalm 118:22

Luke like Matthew & Mark uses Psalm 118:26 to say that Jesus was the cornerstone that David wrote about. He was telling the Jews that David knew 1700 years later the Jews would reject him.
