These mysteries will be resolved with the progressive advance of Spiritual Science. There are many pointers which indicate that these questions are not so simple as people fondly imagine today. For example, the relationship between Judaism and primitive Christianity in the first century of our era is virtually ignored. There are theologians who study certain Jewish writings in order to find evidence for their various theories. But one can easily demonstrate that these Jewish writings on which they rely did not exist in the first century. One thing appears to be demonstrable historically, namely, that in the second third of the first century a relatively harmonious relationship existed between Judaism and Christianity—in so far as one can speak of Christianity at that period. Generally speaking, when enlightened Jews discussed certain questions with the followers of Jesus Christ they easily arrived at an understanding. One need only recall the case of the celebrated Rabbi Elieser who made the acquaintance of a certain Jacob (as he calls him) towards the middle of the first century. The latter admitted to being a disciple of Jesus and had healed in His name. Rabbi Elieser conferred with the aforesaid Jacob and declared in the course of the conversation that what Jacob had said, and especially the fact that he had healed the sick in the name of Jesus, was in no way contrary to the spirit of Judaism.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture I","site_heading":"Reality-Based Thinking and the Spirit's Suppression","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Viele Dinge können die Menschen heute darauf hinweisen, daß die Fragen doch nicht so einfach liegen, wie man sie gerade heute sehr häufig sich vorstellt. So berücksichtigt man zum Beispiel heute wenig das Verhältnis des damaligen Judentums zu den Anschauungen über den Christus Jesus für das erste christliche Jahrhundert. Es gibt Theologen, welche gewisse jüdische Schriften studieren, um mancherlei zu zeigen. Allein man kann leicht nachweisen, daß diese jüdischen Schriften, auf die so manches gestützt wird, im ersten Jahrhundert der christlichen Zeitrechnung noch gar nicht vorhanden waren. Aber eines scheint auch historisch durchaus nachweisbar zu sein: das ist, daß im ersten Jahrhundert, namentlich im zweiten Drittel des ersten Jahrhunderts, ein gutes, ein verhältnismäßig gutes Verhältnis bestanden hat zwischen dem Judentum und dem Christentum, wenn man das Wort für jene Zeit schon gebrauchen will; daß im allgemeinen, wenn gewisse aufgeklärte Juden der damaligen Zeit in Diskussionen kamen mit Anhängern des Christus Jesus über gewisse Fragen, es nicht allzu schwierig war, eine Übereinstimmung der Anschauungen herzustellen. Man braucht dabei nur zu erinnern an solche Fälle, wie etwa, daß der berühmte Rabbi Elieser kennenlernte um die Mitte des ersten Jahrhunderts einen gewissen Jakob — wie er ihn nennt —, welcher sich dazu bekannte, ein Schüler Jesu zu sein, und der heilte auf den Namen des Christus Jesus. Der berühmte Rabbi Elieser besprach sich mit jenem Jakob, und er kam im Gespräch dazu zu sagen: Eigentlich ist es durchaus nicht gegen den inneren Geist des Judentums, was da dieser Jakob sagt, und namentlich nicht, daß er auf den Namen Jesu Kranke heilt.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":292,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/175/1917-03-27/p010"}],"english":["GA 175/1917-03-27/p011"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":292,"en_words":250,"ratio":0.86,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.97,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":6812,"original_word_count":7035,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"A.
