Page 61 - But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us that would come from thence.
Page 35 - Heretics, traitors, apostates, epicurians, those who deny the law, and those who deny the resurrection of the dead, those who separate themselves from the doctrines of the congregation, and those who cause terror among the dwellers upon earth, and those who have sinned and caused many to sin, as Jeroboam the son of Nebat and his companions; these all descend into gehenna and are punished therein ages of ages, as it is written. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have...
Page 44 - But to all this it is replied,1 that, in historical matters, it is not to be regarded what the Jews write, or what they omit concerning them. That of all nations in the world, that have pretended to any sort of learning, they have taken the least care to record past transactions, and have done it very bunglingly, and in a manner that looks more like fable than truth, wherever they nave pretended to it.
Page 33 - Abram .saw gehenna belching forth smoke and burning coals, and sending up sparks to punish the wicked therein.' Surely he did not see the valley of Hinnom, for this would make him witness what no one pretends took place until a thousand years after his time. Hear the following remark : ' The wicked are to be judged, that they may be delivered to eternal burning in gehenna.' This surely cannot refer to the valley of Hinnom. Very many passages occur in which the wicked are threatened with the punishment...
Page 51 - ... were quite as obvious a source of this rite, as the custom of that sect. Thus much for Rabbinic and other external testimony, in regard to the antiquity of the baptismal rite among the Jews. Nothing from the heathen writers or Josephus, seems in any degree to confirm this antiquity. From the Rabbinic writers, all that we can gather is, that sometime in the latter part of the third century, when the Jerusalem Talmud was written, the custom of baptizing proselytes was common ; still more so did...
Page 38 - The next targum to that of Onkelos, is the targum of Jonathan Ben Uzziel on the prophets ; which is next it also in the purity of its style, but is not like it in the manner of its composure. For, whereas the targum of Onkelos is a strict version, rendering the Hebrew text word for word, Jonathan takes on him the liberty of a paraphrast, by enlargements and additions to the text : for therein are inserted several stories, and also several glosses of his own, which do not much commend the work...
Page 34 - He will restore to them their foreskin, and they will descend into gehenna.' ' Before paradise gehenna was created ; gehenna on the second day, paradise on the third day. This is the edge of the sword which turns every way, and which being directed towards them hereafter sets them on fire.
Page 54 - In fine, we are destitute of any early testimony to the practice of proselyte baptism antecedently to the Christian era. The original institution of admitting Jews to the covenant, and strangers to the same, prescribed no other rite than that of circumcision. No account of any other is found in the Old Testament ; none in the Apocrypha, New Testament, Targums of Onkelos, Jonathan, Joseph the Blind, or in the work of any other Targumist, excepting Pseudo-Jonathan, whose work belongs to the 7th or...
Page 35 - For those who observe the- law, Paradise is prepared, but for transgressors, gehenna." Does this refer to this world or the next. " While you apply yourselves with the greatest labor and trouble to the study of the law, and yet neglect to fulfil it, you will become heirs of gehenna at your death, while you have enjoyed no pleasure in this life.
Page 35 - God allows the poor to be with us ever," responded Akiba, "that the opportunities for doing good may never fail.
