That being said, I am not aware of anything in the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the 4 Gospels, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount, that is radically opposed to or at odds with the broad main stream of rabbinic Judaism. Indeed, in the Gospels, Jesus is usally addressed as a Didaskolos - Master or Rabbi (never as a Tekton - Craftsman).Gandalinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09196550750055246901noreply@blogger.com
