Uh, speaking about Jesus, Yeshua, what does the Tanakh says regarding lineage, the genealogy of Jesus? How does this question fit with the virgin birth of Jesus? >> It's a problem because the way you know what tribe you're from is through your father. See Numbers chapter 1 verse 18 as an example. Your father determines what tribe you're from in Hebrew the mishpacha is some levees of those them. The problem is that the very two books in the Christian Bible that contain the supposed genealogy of Jesus claim that Jesus was supernaturally conceived without a father. It's very striking Matthew and Luke. And therefore, what we are actually given in the Christian Bible in Luke 3 and Matthew chapter 1 are not the genealogy of Jesus but the genealogy of Joseph. When the church adopts the notion that Jesus was born of a virgin. So, you don't find that in Paul's letters. You don't find that in the earliest gospel, Mark. I mean chronologically. The moment the church claims that Jesus was born to a virgin, what it did was it sabotaged the claim that he can be the Messiah because he's born to a virgin, you don't have a human Jewish father with which to trace your genealogy back to King David. So, it it blows the whole thing up. >> I understand. Thank you for this explanation. Very helpful. I would like to ask you now regarding the aspect of sacrifice for the remission of sins. For us as Christians, Jesus is the lamb who on the cross paid for us, taking the place of the animals that people of Israel used to sacrifice to God. For us, one of the most important verses about this is Hebrew 9:22 where we read that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. How can you tell me about this matter? >> So, that should raise an alarm if the verse that a Christian can point to is Hebrews 9:22. It says without the shedding of blood there's no atonement. Now, just the context of Hebrews 9:22, Hebrews is saying that everything went on in the Old Testament is a foreshadowing of Jesus of Christ. >> [snorts] >> But this verse doesn't exist and in fact, take the book of Jonah as an example, a book I know that you're very familiar with. It's a story about a nation that was wicked, a city Nineveh, the capital of the Assyrian Empire. Jonah came to them and they repented and God forgave them. No blood, no sacrifice. So, as it turns out, um sacrifice atoned for unintentional sins and Hebrews is misquoting Leviticus 17:11. The vast majority of sins are atoned not by sacrifice, but by repenting, by giving charity. There was a sacrificial system, we miss it, it will return and that's for unintentional sins. You'll never learn this in church, but you will find it in Leviticus chapter 4. So, therefore, Hebrews 9:22 is not uh quoted in the Hebrew Bible. Although your footnotes will tell you it's Leviticus 17:11. But Leviticus 17:11 is explained to why you're not allowed to eat blood. It's cuz blood is reserved for making an atonement for your soul. Uh but Hebrews doesn't quote it that way. Number two, human sacrifices are always forbidden. I don't know much about the Italian criminal justice system, but I do know this. I believe that that Italians hope that every person sitting in an Italian prison is guilty. And if you were to believe that there was a single person who was innocent in an Italian prison, it would break your heart. >> Of course. >> So, of course. This is we we all have that we we want the wicked punished and we want the innocent exonerated. I am sure you live in a civilized country. So, if you have that sense of justice doesn't God have the sense of justice not to punish an innocent person for the bad behavior of the guilty? Moreover, the Bible says that the innocent can suffer for the sins of the wicked. Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 21 through 23. I mean, if you would never want to think. I mean, if a person could be punished for the for the sins of the guilty well, God at least has as much mercy as you do. So, this whole notion is completely antithetical to is in incompatible with the with the criminal justice system in the Hebrew Bible. Innocent people should be exonerated and no innocent person can die for the sins of the wicked. >> I understand. It's very interesting.
