The Words and Actions of Yeshua Categorized Topically<\/b><\/p>\n

The purpose of this study was to as objectively as possible ascertain from the raw data of scripture alone what Yeshua preached about, what he taught and what he did during his early ministry. What subjects did he touch most frequently in his ministry involvements as we went about advancing the kingdom of Elohim? The implications of knowing this should be obvious. If we are to be followers or disciples of the Master, we should be doing what he did. We would do well to study his life and ministry and to model ours after his. His priorities should be ours, his message ours, his methods ours. We should stress the issues he stressed, and not stress what he didn\u2019t stress. Conversely, wouldn\u2019t emphasizing issues that he didn\u2019t emphasize, reprioritizing his priorities be an affront to him an act of disobedience? It seems that the application of situational ethics to the gospel message so that its heart and core is altered in an attempt to make it \u201cmore relevant to our modern generation,\u201d to make it more appealing and less offensive, or to make it more \u201cseeker-sensitive\u201d when preaching, teaching or evangelizing an insult to YHVH and to his Word. It\u2019s as if we\u2019re saying, \u201cwe know better than Elohim.\u201d How absurd! Deciding what we think what we think<\/i> the gospel message should be without fully understanding what it was<\/i> is dangerous. If we base what we do and say on the former rather than the latter, we are feeding from the tree of knowledge and usurping Elohim\u2019s authority to determine his Word, and, again, asserting, unwittingly or not, that we know better than Elohim<\/i>. This is humanism \u2014 the enthronement of the human mind, desires and will over that of the Creator\u2019s. To do this is to become a partner in Satan\u2019s rebellion against the Almighty Creator.<\/p>\n

In the data that follows, only the verses in Gospels of Matthew and John were analyzed and tabulated and not Mark and Luke, since they closely parallel and often repeat what Matthew records in his Gospel. Matthew and John are complimentary, since they more or less cover different episodes in the life of Yeshua. The following is the summary of my findings. Of the 136 subjects that Yeshua dealt with, these are the top winners.<\/p>\n
