Saul was purportedly Jewish, even though he didn’t live in Israel, but many commentators have found the origins of the Eucharist puzzling because they believe that, due to the Jewish strictures on blood, it would have been unthinkable for an Orthodox Jew to contemplate drinking blood, even if only symbolically.

the story of Abraham and Issac certainly shows a very close flirtation with the notion of human sacrifice as appeasement of the Yahweh deity. The story accredits a perfection of faith for Abraham as being willing to go through with blood sacrificing his only son in order to be totally obedient to this deity figure. Now the apologetics for rationalizing this (because on some level EVERYONE sees this as disturbingly heinous - blood sacrificing human beings to a deity figure), is that Abraham firmly believed that the Yahweh deity would provide an alternative, and thus provide an out - but according to the account he was on the verge of plunging the knife. It's one of the most singularly disturbing narratives in the Hebrew bible. That a deity figure would test a person by seeing if they're willing to commit murder (of their own child, no less). It's the kind of thing we today would associate with the very most despicable cult leaders.

Human sacrifice was and is against God's Torah. I'm assuming you're a Christian. If you believe that Jesus/Yeshua died completely sinless, then dying by way of sacrifice would've been a sin. Also, if you study the Torah, you realize that if he was a true "blood sacrifice," his body would've been purified, washed, laid up on the altar, and slaughtered. Some, in fact most, sacrifices were eaten by the Levitical priests. This would have been impossible since eating human flesh is forbidden. I also want to add that Yeshua/Jesus was severely blemished through being beaten. All the sacrifices were to be perfect with NO bodily blemishes. He would not have been accepted.

The blood sacrificial offering is well documented in the holy scripture. Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb offered once and for all to redeem all who come to him in true faith. History is full of heroic men and women who "sacrificed" their lives so that their loved ones could live. Jesus Christ was willing to lay down his life knowing how the shedding of his innocent blood would pay the price of redemption. Such a tremendous Truth for us to embrace and understand and to declare with good faith .

thankfully, I don't place much believe in the every older new test. I think a lot of it is made up by a desert cult (just because the JEWS said that in Leviticus doesn't mean a real god said it to ancient Israelite or that it is true...) and is just allegorical or symbolic. what about the sacred Rig Vedas writings? what about Zoroastrianism or ancient Babylonian religions? Why are they not important? the Israel bible of old test was not for you and me. It was for that desert middle east TRIBE called Israelite wayyyy back then, not today. It was hijacked and "updated" by the modern Jesus movement in the first century of Rome. BUT FEAR NOT, "paulkeniston...". Mankind does show a propensity in history to sin and all of mankind around the world needed spiritual intervention of the Gods. THIS is hwy all over the world mankind pursued religions, the sky at night, and prayed to THE GODS of old. Look at ancient Egypt. Even ATlantis had a religion!

It depends on which church. That is the problem. When someone says they are a "Christian", you must ask which denomination. They all have different emphasis and interpretation. It is good that you "don't beat [y]our breasts or tear [y]our clothes." Otherwise, you will likely have significant medical and clothing expenses. Guilt, repentance, sin, and self-obsession are the horrors. Anguish leads to negative emotional and spiritual consequences. Humility and healthy self-esteem leads to satisfaction and wisdom. Go into the darkness of a church to pursue the past. Go into the brightness of nature to experience life.

The cup of life was for the waters of life….not the blood of a tortured carnal flesh suit…drinking blood out of such a vessel may be more of a curse! The scribes are trying to put people under the old laws and the Talmud….and those laws state you are not to eat the flesh of any animal tortured or strangled…Jesus was allegedly severely tortured, and crucifixion is akin to being suffocated because of the pressures involved on the chest cavity…and the Vatican perform ‘rites’ to make the wafer the actual flesh etc…symbolically what sorcery are people symbolically consenting to. I have a very saddening and growing suspicion that the Vatican are walking their flock into a trap and to slaughter! There’s also scripture about horse leeches and the blood lickers and not eating/drinking the blood….this I doubt had anything to do with eating regularly prepared meat, and everything to do with people staying young by drinking the blood of infants….or for more occulted hormonal benefits! If drinking blood brought a curse…what are folk doing every Sunday? There’s something deeply deeply troubling about what they’ve wrapped around Jesus’s good teachings….and it’s been suggested that the bible as we know it (not the words of Jesus) is actually the doctrine of Babylon that was translated by Alexander from the Septuagint. You also have to remember that it is the Vatican and the Church of England that control the worldwide Roman legal civil system of law….that has tricked us over generations to take another’s name (kanah - the surname or the person) and serve a cleverly disguised Caesar and to step onto the Vatican’s ship that sails the commercial sees/seas! It’s difficult to have such discussions with believers because they’re under a spell…they can’t separate Jesus from the scribes clever trickery and crafty works! I sincerely hope my suspicions are wrong…I truly do. I’ll stop rambling lol!

The first thing Paul got from Jesus was stern correction. Why did Paul rebel against instruction like that spoken by Stephen. There were Jews who were on the way of life the old-fashioned way--through the written word. Jesus brought us a new and living way. It begins with washing of water. To be clear, one must receive more than faith in that first baptism. In Jesus are also the gifts of faith for righteousness, faith for holiness and to become a "son of God" which requires another birth. Only when Christ is fully formed in you, can you be born in the image of Christ. This is that angel of your presence that passes on first, before your body follows. This is about the life in your blood that needs to be quickened like wine. You can look at the way of life by the court design of Moses, the changes in Abraham or the gospels which are titled with words that DEFINE the portion taught. Love grows, faith grows, hope grows, wisdom grows. We will never equal God, but we can become more like Jesus. Baptism in water washes away past sins. The blood of Jesus was shed two thousand years ago for sins you won't commit until next year. You must believe, receive, confess. Paul had studied the written word to obtain whatever faith he had. The first thing he received from Jesus was a stern rebuke, Why was he rebelling against direction given. Jesus offers you faith that is multi-portioned. You receive the spirit of Jesus. You follow him. He will offer you righteousness and holiness. Students will follow a teacher. Inevitably, they will follow to heaven or hell. Our teacher is he that he loves you so completely that the forgiveness of your future sin is in his nail-scarred hand. It's discouraging to see students who look for reasons not to believe. Rebellion is as witchcraft. What about students who were first drawn to the Proton by cords of love. Who misdirects them to a place where they want to cut those cords "asunder" as if they were "bonds" rather than love. I love a teacher who can say, I don't understand this" instead of giving reasons why it cant bd true. The gospels are lessons taught to four classes of students in the last year of Jesus' ministry. Mark is by definition the first portiont/preparation of the heart. Mat-theou/Matthew asks us the receive the spirit of the father/ righteousness/the alpha and omega with us/possibly מאתו. Luke is the third year students/the latter portion/לוק. Luke is about holiness.) The closest disciples like John pictured in the bosom or leaning on his chest were in the graduating class. (John, "the beginning of the response of Jah/ יענה/In the beginning was the Word." There is no Q. The variations in the gospels are very important. How terrible that students are so indoctrinated from childhood that their faith is already on shiftings sand.

I don't think Paul made the atonement up. He got it from the OT. The high priest on the Day of Atonement takes upon himself the sins of the people. Instead of the high priest being sacrificed, he transfers the sins onto the animal sacrifice. The people are supposed to repent in preparation for this day. The atonement covers unintentional sins. It doesn't cover murderers. They were executed.

If I recall right, Dr. Tabor, Christian scholar E. W. Bullinger opposed the notion that Christians were "washed in the blood" of Jesus. He interpreted the Book of Revelation differently. He noted that some people could get that concept from Revelation 1:5 etc., but he pointed out that the Greek "EN" could mean "by virtue of" instead of "physically within." The passage in the Book of Isaiah can also be interpreted as "sins" being put for "sinners." The sinners would be washed white.

(Continued). As a teacher, parent, government (or God) it is a constant struggle to varying degrees To keep people near the straight and narrow. Would anyone want to make that an eternal struggle? Not even our gracious God wants that. We’ve all met people whose heart is naturally mostly good, and we wish everyone could have such a good heart. Then we can stay at level one of the progression towards sacrifices, free of the need for a law with its penalties over us-- Not because the rules themselves had become irrelevant or changed, but because everyone is already naturally keeping them. This was the hope and promise that God revealed to Israel for all people, and what Paul meant. With this context, which we’ve all experienced, it is the natural and obvious interpretation of Paul’s words that if you walk according to the spirit of the law then you are free from the written law with its penalties. If you think Paul meant that the law was changed or done away with, then you are putting Paul in opposition to his fellow apostles, Jesus himself and the all the words of God until Paul-- There is no precedent and no scripture to support the idea of doing away with the law. Indeed, where did that idea come from? Just another man hundreds of years after Paul?

Is blood the ultimate test of the listener? In the gospel of John chapter 6 Jesus clarifies what his blood symbolizes. Notice it doesn’t symbolize literal blood. It symbolizes his words. You would think that his disciples would remember this gruesome teaching at the last supper when he tells them that his blood is the covenant he’s making with them. Will they think that his literal blood cleanses them? Or will they think that the words he gave them, and cost him his life, cleanses them? What is your thought on this?

How in the world did you get that from anything I said? John chapter 6 tells us that Jesus’s blood symbolizes his words. Basically, Jesus is saying that if we follow his words, they will teach us how to live a life without sinning. His words were consistent with the Hebrew scriptures. The Hebrew scriptures require repentance and making amends when we sin. The Hebrew scriptures never required blood sacrifices for sins that were committed intentionally. Therefore, the literal blood that Jesus shed on the cross does not atone for our sins. At least, not according to Jesus. If we fail to follow his words, then, his death on the cross, his sacrifice, his blood was shed for nothing. We honor his death, and prove we love him, because we follow his teachings. I don’t follow Jesus because of any miracles he performed. I follow him because I agree with what he teaches.

@@David_Brinkerhoff93 I think you would have to know the reason for the prohibition beyond that the life is in the blood. Indeed Jesus is introducing an idea here, with an action, that is anathema to most of his audience . The idea being the absolute union of God, in the form of Jesus and man; that union being brought about by the union of our spirits John 6:63. A union so total that our existence is in Christ and He is in us. This is totally different to the symbolism of the Old Covenant where the people were separated from God by the curtain between them and the most Holy place. Union is the truth of our being, our lives are united, hence the eating and drinking. I imagine the prohibition on animal blood is to make a point about where life comes from and it is not from animal life including ourselves. It is only the life of God in us that saves us, and that life is manifested by us living in and out of the character of God of Christ and the Holy Spirit. We testify to that faith when we take communion.

Alma 42: 1 And now, my son, I perceive there is somewhat more which doth worry your mind, which ye cannot understand-which is concerning the justice of God in the punishment of the sinner; for ye do try to suppose that it is injustice that the sinner should be consigned to a state of misery. 2 Now behold, my son, I will explain this thing unto thee. For behold, after the Lord God sent our first parents forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground, from whence they were taken-yea, he drew out the man, and he placed at the east end of the garden of Eden, cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the tree of life- 3 Now, we see that the man had become as God, knowing good and evil; and lest he should put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever, the Lord God placed cherubim and the flaming sword, that he should not partake of the fruit- 4 And thus we see, that there was a time granted unto man to repent, yea, a probationary time, a time to repent and serve God. 5 For behold, if Adam had put forth his hand immediately, and partaken of the tree of life, he would have lived forever, according to the word of God, having no space for repentance; yea, and also the word of God would have been void, and the great plan of salvation would have been frustrated. 6 But behold, it was appointed unto man to die-therefore, as they were cut off from the tree of life they should be cut off from the face of the earth-and man became lost forever, yea, they became fallen man. 7 And now, ye see by this that our first parents were cut off both temporally and spiritually from the presence of the Lord; and thus we see they became subjects to follow after their own will. 8 Now behold, it was not expedient that man should be reclaimed from this temporal death, for that would destroy the great plan of happiness. 9 Therefore, as the soul could never die, and the fall had brought upon all mankind a spiritual death as well as a temporal, that is, they were cut off from the presence of the Lord, it was expedient that mankind should be reclaimed from this spiritual death. 10 Therefore, as they had become carnal, sensual, and devilish, by nature, this probationary state became a state for them to prepare; it became a preparatory state. 11 And now remember, my son, if it were not for the plan of redemption, (laying it aside) as soon as they were dead their souls were miserable, being cut off from the presence of the Lord. 12 And now, there was no means to reclaim men from this fallen state, which man had brought upon himself because of his own disobedience; 13 Therefore, according to justice, the plan of redemption could not be brought about, only on conditions of repentance of men in this probationary state, yea, this preparatory state; for except it were for these conditions, mercy could not take effect except it should destroy the work of justice. Now the work of justice could not be destroyed; if so, God would cease to be God. 14 And thus we see that all mankind were fallen, and they were in the grasp of justice; yea, the justice of God, which consigned them forever to be cut off from his presence. 15 And now, the plan of mercy could not be brought about except an atonement should be made; therefore God himself atoneth for the sins of the world, to bring about the plan of mercy, to appease the demands of justice, that God might be a perfect, just God, and a merciful God also. 16 Now, repentance could not come unto men except there were a punishment, which also was eternal as the life of the soul should be, affixed opposite to the plan of happiness, which was as eternal also as the life of the soul. 17 Now, how could a man repent except he should sin? How could he sin if there was no law? How could there be a law save there was a punishment? 18 Now, there was a punishment affixed, and a just law given, which brought remorse of conscience unto man. 19 Now, if there was no law given-if a man murdered he should die-would he be afraid he would die if he should murder? 20 And also, if there was no law given against sin men would not be afraid to sin. 21 And if there was no law given, if men sinned what could justice do, or mercy either, for they would have no claim upon the creature? 22 But there is a law given, and a punishment affixed, and a repentance granted; which repentance, mercy claimeth; otherwise, justice claimeth the creature and executeth the claw, and the law inflicteth the punishment; if not so, the works of justice would be destroyed, and God would cease to be God. 23 But God ceaseth not to be God, and mercy claimeth the penitent, and mercy cometh because of the atonement; and the atonement bringeth to pass the resurrection of the dead; and the resurrection of the dead bringeth back men into the presence of God; and thus they are restored into his presence, to be judged according to their works, according to the law and justice. 24 For behold, justice exerciseth all his demands, and also mercy claimeth all which is her own; and thus, none but the truly penitent are saved. 25 What, do ye suppose that mercy can rob justice? I say unto you, Nay; not one whit. If so, God would cease to be God. 26 And thus God bringeth about his great and eternal purposes, which were prepared from the foundation of the world. And thus cometh about the salvation and the redemption of men, and also their destruction and misery. 27 Therefore, O my son, whosoever will come may come and partake of the waters of life freely; and whosoever will not come the same is not compelled to come; but in the last day it shall be restored unto him according to his deeds. 28 If he has desired to do evil, and has not repented in his days, behold, evil shall be done unto him, according to the restoration of God. 29 And now, my son, I desire that ye should let these things trouble you no more, and only let your sins trouble you, with that trouble which shall bring you down unto repentance. 30 O my son, I desire that ye should deny the justice of God no more. Do not endeavor to excuse yourself in the least point because of your sins, by denying the justice of God; but do you let the justice of God, and his mercy, and his long-suffering have full sway in your heart; and let it bring you down to the dust in humility.

AND WHO MADE the rule that this "sin" had to require blood? If god is a very powerful god, why does he need blood to forgive us our sin?

Yes, confession, repentance, forgiveness, faith and love are nuts new ideas, but what God has required of his people from the beginning. God designed human relationship success to depend on these things as well. Here is the practical logical progression to sacrifice: From the perspective of a teacher: 1. Benefit of the doubt. If my students do everything they’re supposed to do, then I don’t need to spend time telling them anything about what theyshould do, let alone start talking about penalties. 2. Words. If I find that my students are doing things that hurt other students for my purpose for the class, then I would verbally educate/clarify whatever rules are relevant, And probably periodically remind them. 3. Writing. If my students seem to keep forgetting my invisible words, then I would write the rules in a place where everyone could see them so that no one could claim ignorance or forgetfulness, and I don’t have to waste time repeatedly reminding them verbally. Note: I would assume my students were intelligent, and so first try to summarize what proper behavior is in a few abstract rules. Then if I found that they kept doing something wrong, as if they couldn’t infer an application of abstract summary rules, then on a case by case basis I would add specific laws to clarify my interpretation and intention of the summary rules. Note: There are probably an infinite number of ways to do the wrong thing in any situation. So it is impractical to list all of the rules that a person who walks the right way is actually keeping. We don’t imagine such a person is consciously thinking of all of those rules; instead, we describe them as having a natural intelligence/intuition/talent/temperament/spirit. The summary/abstract rules mentioned above try to efficiently capture that ‘spirit’ of the law. 4. Legal consequences. If students keep breaking the spirit of the law, but they can’t claim to lack knowledge of the law, then I know I need to add something that will affect their heart/motivation. Enter an incentive structure of benefits and costs, incentives and deterrents, blessings and cursings. Note: In order for penalties to work properly, a positive foundation of love and hope (and faith in these) must have already been laid (built through faithful word and action of the teacher). In this case, typically, the initial additional incentive structure is simplified to a list of costs, since the benefits were already naturally there, inherent to the purpose of the class. This is a kind of sacrificial system. The purpose of the “sacrificial system“ is to help them internalize knowledge of the truth (the reality of these rules as part of the structure to succeed) to the level of memory and belief/faith, and of fear if not also love, so It actually shapes their behavior if not also their heart. From another angle, the testimony of sacrifices, including the testimony of Jesus’ sacrifice, is that God really cares that much about the purpose and that the structure of right (and wrong) paths/behaviors/actions/choices really do lead to success at that purpose. God’s purpose is for a diversity of beings able to sustain a united community forever, and all that that implies (eg, real acts and feelings of faith, hope, love, righteousness, peace and joy. 5. Real consequences. If my students still do things that make us unable to succeed at the purpose of the class, then there is real failure, including loss of all investments of time, effort, heart and opportunity costs. Real death of the purpose (or, in other situations, of the relationship, or of people themselves).

I tend to think that Paul, in his philosophy, was trying to justify himself for the persecutions he had committed against the early believers. I'm convinced it was through contact with those people, in the course of those persecutions, that led to his eventual conversion, and created within himself a guilt that could only be assuaged by creating a new vision that essentially let him off the hook for the crimes he had committed.

I don't know how I missed this when it came out, but for me, it's your most important video to date. Christianity definitely reflects Paul's pagan influence. Both Jesus and John the Baptizer taught salvation through repentance, not animal (or human) sacrifice. As you pointed out: "John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins." -Mark 1:4 "No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them." -Psalms 49:7 Indeed, the term "The Lord's Supper" was so associated with pagan Mithraism, it was an embarrassment for the early church fathers. And the early Roman center for Mithraism was in wealthy Tarsus, Paul's native city. The name of the rite was changed to the Eucharist, or later, to communion. Interesting fact, when it came time for communion, George Washington got up and went home.

Again, great scholarly work here. What you, Dr. Ehrman, and other Biblical scholars demonstrate to me is that, 1) "Man" has spiritual revelations. 2) Men want to help others. 3) Men experience spirituality through the uniqueness of their personal interpretation. 4) Man's supposed intelligence over-complicates the revelation to the point where, often eventually, Man kills other men over differences in the individual revelations (Catholic and Protestant, Sunni and Shite, etc.). Actual Biblical history "should" prove to every soul that we are witnessing the opinions of individuals whose inspiration applies to that individual. If only the people of the world would understand that if someone is telling you - you will burn in Hell for not believing exactly as "I believe," and simply follow the rule that Jesus, and others, taught: Believe in Love, and forgiving others. Not judging others and practicing unconditional love is the key to happiness. If you don't believe that, I will not judge you. It's your business, not mine. All I know is that I love you, no matter who you are and what you did. I forgive you. This is for my salvation and sanity. This is all I really have control of.

Let me understand this. So anything that’s in the Gospels and is similar to Paul comes from Paul. With this logic we can conclude Paul created Jesus. The 12 Apostles, the birth of Jesus from the lineage of David, the brother of the Lord, the Crucifixion, the burial and resurrection of Jesus etc. do all come from paul because according to the logic in the video these things are found in both the Gospels and Paul.

Very interesting. I follow the logic behind Tabor’s ideas here, even if I question his motivation. However this is an alternative narrative and interpretation which he has constructed, which does not mean that it is actually true. The weakness of his narrative and arguments is seen in his liberal use of multiple assumptions to ‘fill in the gaps’ (a characteristic also of Bart Ehrman’s ideas), in order to present his ‘alternative story’. The weakness of these presumptions means that Tabor’s ‘story’ is highly speculative, instead of factual. It is interesting, but I wouldn’t place too much trust in the speculations of academics like Tabor and Ehrman, particularly since they offer no better spirituality to their listeners. All that they would leave their listeners who trust their narratives, is an emptiness where there was once hope.

While their methodology may be different, their results of denials are the same. Also the absence of theology is not a strength but a weakness, particularly bearing in mind the backslidden state of these men who were once faithful believers. While you say you attend Sunday Bible study and that is the extent of your studies, others study every day of the week and have a great interest in both archaeology and history behind the New Testament. I find Tabor very interesting, but flawed because of his filling in the gaps with presumptions and opinions which reflect his own bias.

Remember that in the last verse of psalms 51, once David has got his heart right, then and only then does god delight in animal sacrifices. It may be that God delights in animal sacrifices in the same way that he was pleased, as it says, for Jesus to be sacrificed. His delight is not directly in the blood of bulls and suffering of any being in itself. But, like Job, we simply don’t have enough information to judge God about the suffering of anyone, sacrificial or not. I don’t like the suffering involved - - and I don’t think any of us are supposed to. That’s part of the point. And if you are trying to ignore the reality of somehow-worthwhile sacrifice, then you may be ignoring one of the most important and naturally emotionally affecting parts of reality - - even in the spirit world. God does not waste pain.

The emperor replied that the young man had committed a certain offense twice and justice demanded death as the penalty for his crimes. "But I don't ask for justice," the mother explained. "I plead for mercy." "But your son does not deserve mercy," Napoleon replied. "Sir," the woman cried, "If he deserved it, it wouldn't be mercy. And so I ask for mercy."

Exactly! If a blood sacrifice paid for all our sins then God's grace and mercy plays no role in our salvation and repentance wouldn't be required. The whole animal sacrificial system was never desired or initiated by God. It was always mans idea. God only put up with it until he instituted the new covenant and rituals of the flesh ended. God clearly stated several times he HATED "their" feast days, new moons, Sabbath's and sacrifices. He desired MERCY and repentance for sins. As John taught we are to repent unto the FORGIVENESS OF SINS.

The use of blood is mentioned several times in the old testament. It is clear in the old testament that if one wishes to slit the throat of a lamb one must do something with the blood or for that matter any animal. If Paul knew of the process of sacrifice at the temple blood would be a clear understanding of any problem. It is also clear in the Old Testament that there is sin sacrifice or animals being destroyed to free oneself of sin. I ask this question of Dr Tabor was there blood animal sacrifice for sin inside or at the gate of the 2nd temple during Jesus life?

He had tried to teach them that the Father was loving and those tales were not of God. He decided that if they were so obsessed with the spilling of blood then blood is what he would leave them with and thus he relayed the blood and body message.

I think a lot of the confusion is because he was crucified around Passover. He went into Jerusalem to demonstrate against that practice and that’s probably the main reason he was crucified. But instead, he was just doing what he was told to do and intentionally fulfilling Daniel 9. That’s why he kept it a secret telling them not to tell anyone until around 30CE. It would be more appropriate to say he was also fulfilling Yom Kipper, becoming that first goat slaughtered. The second goat was supposed to be led away, handed to a caretaker and taken into the wilderness where he would be set free. The goat naturally would choose to stay with his new master instead of returning. That’s a good description of the suffering servant in Isa 53 despised and rejected. Something Jesus didn’t really suffer except on that weekend. You point out that this life of suffering is the message in Mark and the way of salvation but it’s more than just that. That sacrifice was prophetic in scope. Salvation was on the ones to whom the arm of god was revealed. The messengers throughout Israel’s history and who would believe their report? They all suffered but their obedience itself was confirming the covenant. So even if Jesus himself said you must eat my flesh and drink my blood, it wasn’t a sacrifice like the Passover. It was saying become like me and do likewise or you’re not worthy. It’s too bad the rabbis didn’t understand and instead of following the command, they would immediately lead the scapegoat over a cliff, thinking they could prevent sin from returning. Ironically, Jesus is the national designated scapegoat blamed for everything along with Christianity, and anyone who is Christian is led out of the city too and banned from the communities. That’s the reason that temple was destroyed because they broke the covenant they had in not following that instruction. The prophets all agree god never wanted sacrifices and Passover got way out of control. Isa 53 is about all those prophets and when he returns, he will suffer again just like it’s written but this time over a lifetime of testing. It didn’t please god to watch Jesus suffer but it will please him to bring him back and cause it again so that we get it right for once. Paul came in on the wing of an abomination and began this blood sacrifice idea that’s caused untold devastation, ruining god’s reputation. That prophecy isn’t finished quite yet.

It's obviously Mithraic. Mithra sacrificed a bull and it's blood dripped down onto the earth: "The white bull was metamorphosed into the moon; the cloak of Mithra was transformed into the vault of the sky, with the shining planets and fixed stars; from the tail of the bull and from his blood sprang the first ears of grain and the grape". Then comes the model for the Last Supper: "After the sacrifice, Mithra and the sun god banqueted together, ate meat and bread, and drank wine. Then Mithra mounted the chariot of the sun god and drove with him across the ocean, through the air to the end of the world". Jesus just did the communal meal before the sacrifice instead of after.

After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth." (Hosea 6:1-3) True Christians have been washing, and been scantified in His sacrificial blood for two thousand-year-days, and will be changed and raised up in the imminent "third day" since His resurrection and ascention in 30AD. The "third day" begins on the 21 March 2031: the day after "the great and dreadful day of Yahweh" when the wicked are burnt up and removed from the earth - leaving nothing but ashes for the rightious to tread upon ! The second advent is witnessed by all the survivers SOMETIME afterwards - who knows exactly when....

There's little evidence in support of the idea that Isaiah 53 is about a corporate group. The plain reading is that it pertains to an individual. The servants mentioned in Isaiah 42:1-7, Isaiah 44:26, and Isaiah 49:6 also sound more like individuals than a group.

Yeah the remnant of Israel. It also says in verse 10 that will have children and live a long life.

@@marinarobledo348 Yir'eh zera' ('he will see [a] seed') doesn't necessarily mean having literal children at all. Zera' is used throughout Isaiah to refer to communities of people: Isaiah 1:4, 57:3, 65:23, etc. And yes, God gave him long (eternal) life after his mission on earth, as is the case with Christ. Note the mention of his being given long life (Isaiah 53:10) follows descriptions that, on the plain reading, imply his death (Isaiah 53:8-9). See also Isaiah 49:6 that explicitly distinguishes the servant from the remnant of Israel.

Only Jews descending from the scribes mentioned in Jeremiah 8:8 would not understand the whole point of the Torah and the prophets.

Most Catholic churches when i was a kid still had lots of plaster icons and a large model of the cross hanging from the ceiling with jesus in a stylised pose . Now then, think on this : what if very, very realistic models could be made of scenes from the film The Passion Of The Christ ( youve seen the technical skill now available), of a really appalling blood soaked and agonising Jesus on a cross or being severely scourged covered in blood. Maybe a mechanical model that moves screams and wails in agony ? You can bet your life that parishioners wouldn't put up with it ! Children would be terrified to go to church to look at this hyper real moving talking manaquin ! But why not ? Why not symbolically wipe fake blood from its writhing head and smear your forehead with it ? You see, part of the sanitising of christian imagery in churches is part of the subtle indoctrination process. Its a way of sugaring the pill. And what of the wider psychological ramifications of submersing young minds in this scapegoating and blood sacrifice imagery ? I noticed at school that the poorer kids got the sharp end of the teachers tongue and picked on more as easy targets. We were the undesrving sinners that recieved to he cane regularly. We where the ones scapegoated and punnished because , well.....someone had to be...

If we know that the priestly source had the motivation to include the doctrine of animal sacrifice, who or what group do you think wrote the “I never asked you to make sacrifices” concept? Was it a contemporary group to the priestly source or from oral tradition? Has this been researched yet?

It's quite simple really. Being washed in the blood of the lamb is an update on the shedding of the blood of sacrificial lambs organised by Moses. We wouldn't know about our nerves, our living cell replication, or our blood circulation for a few thousand years, especially our blood filtration system, so vital to life, but Almighty God ensured we had a therapy that cleansed the blood of the righteous and Jesus Christ taught it to us.

Why was the old world obsessed with child sacrifice?
