You can’t go wrong with Dr. Tabor. If you believe, then still believe, but you have to take the secular scholarship approach into account. The trick is knowing when the text has been obfuscated-changed-as Tabor describes here with the priestly tradition wanting to insert the requirement for sacrifice to preserve their sacrificial “industry” and the lies that that huge obfuscation added into the text.

well done!

Yes indeed! Jesus was most likely crucified because he was rebelling against the very profitable business of animal sacrifice and the powers that be in the Jewish temple, as well as the Roman authorities weren't pleased to say the least. More and more people are coming to this conclusion. Keith Aker's book The Lost Religion of Jesus goes into great detail regarding this forgotten history. Thanks James!

Thank you Dr Tabor…the sacrifices have never made sense to me. Cleaning up the volume of blood from the sacrifices of hundreds of thousands would have been a daunting task!! Sacrifices were being offered up all the time outside Jerusalem…by other “religions”! YHVH said not to worship HIM , like these others do.

Bravo! James Tabor ... you discern correctly! Thank you

This is a really great video. I have a question. What would be the theological implications for Christians who want to believe in the inerrancy of the Bible but would also think that basically the entire book of Leviticus was interpolated?

It’s pretty clever that whatever scripture I could use to counter your arguments, you can simply dismiss by saying it was inserted by the priesthood. Of course, it’s possible. But that puts you in a risky and dangerous position since you have pre-- disqualified any counter-arguments by which you may be corrected if you are wrong.

Sacrifice was certainly part of the tanakh. Not just due to priestly writing but even in elements of scapegoating as well. Now that doesnt mean the temple was meant to be a place of pay to play. But take for example the cain and abel story. Who does god turn too? The fruit or the meat?

Maybe Bart Ehrman is right. The Bible is not one book, but many books written by different authors with different opinions. Animal sacrifice seems pretty wasteful and stupid, and why would the God of the universe want that? So some probably did it, some said it's barbaric and not what the true God would want. What is pagan, what isn't?

The original Passover sacrifice seems pretty integrated into the whole story of the exodus; do you think that was an insertion by the future priesthood? How might the exodus story have gone without that sacrifice, and what about the connection to the Christ’s sacrifice that would be lost? And of course, what about the sacrifice of the Christ itself?

I always thought animal sacrifices werent original. It makes no sense.

I hope you will cover the words translated as 'Hell', 'everlasting' and 'forever' in this series. I'm sure it will come up as it is such a popular topic. I'm interested to hear your thoughts on them.

@youngknowledgeseeker

Hell - Comes from the Hebrew "Gehenna", but the King James and some other translations also translate "Sheol" as Hell as well, but most likely incorrectly. [In Greek the word "Hades" replaces the word "Sheol"] Sheol was simply the grave or underworld, where every one who ever dies goes, obviously. Gehenna, on the other hand, became a term used for a place of unquenchable fiery destruction. It does seem that the concept that Hell (Gehenna) is a place of eternal torture and consciousness is not found in the Bible. Rather, the idea is that Gehenna simply destroys, perhaps painfully, whatever is thrown into it, but nothing about living in the fire eternally conscious, that defeats the purpose of a fire whose job is to destroy. Everlasting/Forever - I'm not sure if this is actually the full semantic answer to your question, but, one of the words that may cover this topic is the Hebrew "olam" which becomes "aeon" in Greek, like in John's gospel. It really means "age" in the Jewish mind (but also "world"). So, on a strictly semantic level, it actually doesn't mean "forever" or "eternal" like how most of our English translations render it. However, the "age to come" aka the age of the Messiah's rule is said to be un-ending, so its not a stretch for the translators to render it "eternal-life" rather than "age-life" even though "age-life" would capture more of the Jewish flavor of the understanding of life after the resurrection.

What do Church leaders say about chapter 7 of Jeremiah and Amos 5 to spin the narrative to be pro sacrifice?

As an indication of how the word _lestes_ was used in Judea, it appears as a loan word in Mishnaic Hebrew as _listim,_ meaning simply “robbers”. Armed and violent robbers were additionally qualified as _listim mozu’in_.

What I see the prophets saying is not that God never gave them the sacrificial system, but that it was being abused. The Sin offerings were for "unintentional" sins. God wanted his people to obey him, and then the only sacrifice which would have been necessary were the daily morning and evening sacrifice of a couple of lambs, some occasional sacrifices for festivals, some for purification from indicental uncleanness, and then whatever peace offerings the people wanted to bring and share with each other. Instead, the people thought what God wanted was sacrifice and that their lives didn't matter as long as they killed something to make up for it. See Psalm 51 were David contrasts undesirable sacrifices with righteous ones. We don't have to confuse the issue and speculate on how much of the Torah has been edited away.

In the future God proclaims - "They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." Therefore no animal sacrifices.

Yeshua was quoting Isaiah 56 concerning "a house of prayer for all Nations." The context of this quoted text is about sons of foreigners and eunuchs who attach themselves to G-d by keeping Shabbat and observing the Covenant.

You would have the audience believe that Isaiah omitting mention of sacrifice in Isaiah 56 bothered the “priestly interpolators”, but the apparently more blatant objection to sacrifice in Jeremiah 7 they just let slip by?

After hearing this perspective (which I have believed for quite a long time) do you see any connections with the animal skin that was used to clothe Adam and Eve after the fall? Where would the dead animal come from prior to that incident? Unless, of course, this scripture is merely suggesting that Adam and Eve became physical beings at that moment.

Well, James has opted for the Rene Girard interpretation of the Gospel. I wish it were true, but it's more likely that he's siding with the Romans against the Rechabites/Sicarii. He adopts the same view of them as Josephus. He never confronts the Romans in the same way. That's very telling.

Revelation 21:4 KJV 4"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away." Unfortunately I didn't get the Book and Chapter number but this is from the Clementine Homilies , this is Kepha(Peter) talking to Clement : "But that He is not pleased with sacrifices, is shown by this, that those who lusted after flesh were slain as soon as they tasted it, and were consigned to a tomb, so that it was called the grave of lusts. [988] He then who at the first was displeased with the slaughtering of animals, not wishing them to be slain, did not ordain sacrifices as desiring them; nor from the beginning did He require them. For neither are sacrifices accomplished without the slaughter of animals, nor can the first-fruits be presented. But how is it possible for Him to abide in darkness, and smoke, and storm (for this also is written), who created a pure heaven, and created the sun to give light to all, and assigned the invariable order of their revolutions to innumerable stars? Thus, O Simon, the handwriting of God -- I mean the heaven -- shows the counsels of Him who made it to be pure and stable."

If Jesus was so against the animal sacrifices, how much more would he feel abt being "the sacrifice" as in Pauline thought?

Culture and history give insights.

Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin

What if ancient sacrifices really meant that the Israelites needed to sacrifice something to take care of the priests? Not for the animal sacrifice itself…that became priestly commerce. The priests/Levites did not receive a land inheritance and were given charge to take care of the tabernacle/temple. Therefore, they did not have means to support themselves. There needed to be a charge to support the priests. Also, it is similar to the later concept of tithing in giving a tenth to support the poor and the church. Sacrifice is a characteristic of Jesus Christ and ultimately leads us towards a higher love.

Well some burnt offerings were wholely given to the Lord, meaning no one ate them ["but God"]. I don't know if this was numerously done, I have to check the occasions. But one that comes to mind is the day of atonement. A whole animal offering only to the Lord for a day recognizing the forgiveness of the sins of the people and how it is a life and death matter, not one to be taken lightly, both solemn and happy.

Animal sacrifice was stopped twice. Firstly when the Temple was previously destroyed. It restarted after the Temple was rebuilt, and continued until the Temple was destroyed again in AD70. As the Temple has not been rebuilt since, no animal sacrifices are made. This shows how animal sacrifice was an important part of the purpose of the Temple, as ordained by God. Jesus was the final and full sacrifice for sin. Unfortunately Tabor does not accept that and so is forced to say the Temple was never about sacrifice, when it clearly was.

Jesus is quoting Hosea 6:6. Note that the original word, in Hebrew, is “chesed”. Use a concordance to see it’s many uses in context and get a sense of its meaning. It means to faithfully obey out of love, often strengthened by an official covenant. You can actually find many places in the so-called Old Testament where God is criticizing Israel’s animal sacrifices - but it’s always because they are abusing the system, trying to simply pay for their sins or make others pay for profit. This, versus the right use which was as a testimony of repentance, a request for forgiveness and a deterrence against sinning. But this only works if animal sacrifice is perceived and felt as a horror, a cost we’d rather not pay if we didn’t have to. But like the aroma of sacrifice that pleases God, though our repentance and killing of our old self is often painful, once the corrective process has been completed, it is as pleasant as two unnecessary enemies becoming friends again. That’s my understanding at this point.

Reading some comments below, I wonder if indeed animal sacrifice was originally proscribed by Moses though perhaps not the ideal of God. Keep in mind, these animals fed the Levites who had no personal land for themselves, and also was a gift or offering to God for various purposes [and not just animals, plants too!]. So there were layers of practicality to these offerings not just some blood thirsty God out for animal life. Specifically I am reminded of the day of atonement where the whole animal was given to God, eaten by no one else. But the occasion was significant. It was the day the sins of the entire nation was acknowledged and then forgiven. Both solemn and joyous. However, you can see the implication is that if an animal must be given and die for this and no one even eats it, how serious must one think about sin and what it really is? However this was once a year, not every single day [though there are occasions that animals are offered, usually eaten however, feeding a levite or even the offerer, alongside God]. Firstly, I infer that for yearly offerings of such nature to take place that implies that the people, the nation, never stop sinning. Its just expected they will and so yearly this is required. Secondly, I can see how God, wanting this to be a lesson in the seriousness of sin and a cause for deep self reflection and repentance, would get disgusted by endless sacrifice, endless killing of animals as a ritual without the accompanying repentance and introspection resulting in change. Then it would just be pointless animal slaughter, like tearing and ripping predators who only do it to eat and kill.

Actually in the new testament, it is Paul the pharisee from the tribe of the ravenous wolf (Benjamin in Genesis 49)who preach that famous claim. 'That God has given onto us his one and only son and by his blood only his sacrifice suffice' Implying in Paul's mind that doing more sacrifice from the beginning of Christ Gospel is absolutely condemnable and that's all there is to it regarding that ritual.. That is what Paul wanted people to believe, preventing further research about it. To consider the actual meaning the sacrifices hold in the Old testament.. But as we can testify from what we can see today, this claim is wicked and resulted in twisted results.. From 2000 years ago to this day, this hasn't made mankind any more better.. In fact it is the reverse, it made men worse and dull to the iniquity of his neighbor since everything has been put in place for him to indulge into sin without end.. Therefore i view it certainly as a way for the pharisees or the levite priest to shut the conversation on a crucial topic. Sacrifices by wicked hands on the altar of the most sacred temple has great consequences and lead God to behave as the opposite of his character aka like Satan because of the blood spilled by wrong hand for wrong end.. Push by these rituals of binding(sacrifices), the lord God is like Noah in a drunken state(Genesis 9)no longer recognizing his ally from his foe, pushing the charge of sin on the righteous instead.. And of course Paul the pharisee will call to stop sacrifices on that so that you don't realize that the solution is actually the actual opposite.. To make the right sacrifice as Abraham did in the right time. There is a timing for everything including sacrifices.. בֶּ֙רַע֙

It doesn't say that the Lord is absolutely against sacrifices though(!).. P.S : i may add that the purpose of the sacrifices made by the levite priests and the idolatrous israelites and non-israelites was to weaken the Lord, push him in a drunken state as blood wrongly spilled is like vine to the Lord(think of Noah's story in Genesis) and reinforce the influence of their own gods...

Yes, there is something lost in translation. Certainly. Yet you throw everything under the bus. When Abraham received celestial visitors, he prepared a BBQ, Sarah the breads. Jeremiah 7, he doesn't know if the making of cakes for Queen Mother was reason for Babylon fall, or the stoppage was. Huldah commanded Josiah. There were 5 types of sacrifices. Priests could exploit the poor and ignorant to glean more protein. Sons of Eli was replaced by Samuel for this behavior. The sin is grinding the face of the poor, widows, fatherless. Certainly the butcher house was a spectacle of gore, so they would hide it. The quartered animal in the hiding may be recycled. I paid for two cows, 1/4 of each was to go to priests, 1/4 to the poor or stranger (gar). 5th rib was demarcation of half, but it seems that 1/4 was going NOT to the poor. Or a full burnt sin offering was not being fully burnt. And so on. No audit protocols. And a spinning wheel at purchase, pay 2x for your dove and have a chance to win 30 pieces of silver. Ultimately the animals were distressed so death imbued the meat and blood with cortisol and adrenalin thereby making the BBQ worthless. Efficiency of the butcher process removed the solemnity sacredness and sincere sacrifice. The sin of all sins is found in Isa 1: grind the face of pour. Exploit the poor. And animal mistreatment made the meat the same as any pagan temple. If you clearly consider the Huldah story, the temple had components: a retirement building for Ark, a soup kitchen and BBQ, a school for children, men, and women. 12 headmasters and mistresses in the Misne that did not answer to the Ark guardians or BBQers. In fact, the opposite. Josiah listened to Huldah and Kohen did nothing, not their job. And the temple was a public bath house. What is prayer? Is it not communion with the heavens. Vocalization is a form, but so is bathing, eating, walking barefoot in the grasses, sitting in the shade of trees, couples likely engaging in marital congress under a tree while children are playing in the waters. Lots of prayer methods. So in principle I agree with shenanigans but to conclude Yeshua was against a soup kitchen, a free bathhouse, free schooling and a family centered environment... is too far in my opinion. They turned the family center into a hybrid cross of Costco and Vegas. Commercialization was the focus.

Dr Tabor it is the same difference being a violent thief (as there could be no other kind), and a someone making sacrifices to atone for it, my study is not affected for doctrine.

Another thing that jesus seems to contradict from the tanakh. While it seems sacrifice is very much iffy in the bible with and without jesus. But the rules are there. I think the issue is performing sacrifice to gain forgiveness, because that type of sacrifice is for accidental sin not willful

Actually it is Paul the pharisee from the tribe of the ravenous wolf (Benjamin in Genesis 49)who preach that famous claim. 'That God has given onto us his one and only son and by his blood only his sacrifice suffice' Implying in Paul's mind that doing more sacrifice from Christ's time is absolutely condemnable and that's all there is to it regarding this ritual.. That is what Paul wanted us to believe, preventing us to further our research about it and to consider the actual meaning the sacrifices had in the Old testament.. But as we can testify from what we can see today, this claim is wicked and resulted in twisted results.. From 2000 years ago to this day, this hasn't made mankind any more better.. In fact it is the reverse, it made men worse and dull to the iniquity of his neighbor since everything has been put in place for him to indulge into sin without end.. Therefore i view it certainly as a way for the pharisees or the levite priest to shut the conversation on a crucial topic. Sacrifices by wicked hands on the altar of the most sacred temple has great consequences and lead God to behave as the opposite of his character aka like Satan because of the blood spilled by wrong hand for wrong end.. Push by these rituals of binding(sacrifices), the lord God is like Noah in a drunken state(Genesis 9)no longer recognizing his ally from his foe, pushing the charge of sin on the righteous instead.. And of course Paul the pharisee will call to stop sacrifices on that so that you don't realize that the solution is actually the actual opposite.. To make the right sacrifice as Abraham did in the right time. There is a timing for everything including sacrifices.. בֶּ֙רַע֙

James thank you so much for spelling this out so plainly. Yes, of course you’re right: Jesus wanted nothing to do with sacrifice system. [So of course he didn’t come to BECOME that exact system]. Jeremiah 7:22. Amos 5:25. Isaiah 11 like you mentioned… but there’s many other puzzle pieces to see this thread. Like 15 other verses I’ve found so far in Micah, Isaiah, psalms, … and plenty evidence in outside sources, like the Essene work, or the Ebionite work, or clementine writings … heck, even the writings of their haters and regurgitators of the haters bear witness to the same story: that they opposed the temple sacrifices altogether. I’m sure Dr. Tabor is aware of this but sharing for those who might see this comment who are learning.

Me and the wife have been watching the video series, and it's has been mind-blowing of how similar our learning and journey from THE FATHER has been so similar to y'all. By learning who Yasha The Messiah truly is, how we got the bible, the corruption of the Scriptures, and the false apostle paul. We started this journey around the same time as you two did around the end of 2013 for us. So it is great to know it is other out there seeking and asking THE FATHER THE CREATOR for guidance and to learn HIS TORAH and become doers of THE TORAH. We would love to talk with you all if you all want to. We are from Birmingham, Alabama, something else similar

It would be nice if we didn’t have to do animal sacrifices. It would be nice if God’s own son didn’t have to be sacrificed on the cross. Indeed, sacrifices are horrific - but that’s the point. If they weren’t horrific, ie , costs that we wouldn’t want to have to pay our self, then they would fail to serve their proper purpose. To deny the need for life sacrifice is to deny the fact that we are sinners and our old self must continually die.

Dr Tabor you are close to the truth, as this video indicates, but I think I have what you are missing. Paul in Hebrews 10:8 agrees as no offering is acceptable, only faith is, not even Jesus at the Cross is an atonement. I agree as sacrifice can never pay for sins, blood from a sacrifice is only symbolic for wrath passing over, which is mercy. Jesus demanded repentance, but the Pharisees relied on sin and sacrifice mistakenly, the concept of blood actually paying for sins is false. Even Christianity has it wrong as Jesus did not pay for sins, he actually gained access to eternal life lost by Adam, only keeping the law by faith (sanctification) is acceptable. Being justified by his blood is baptism, sins are purged as a promise of the new covenant, but only carried out on those sanctified. As Paul said "no man is justified by works of the law", as these works are transgressions, not law keeping. I have a Ytube video series 'Myths in so-called Christianity' for NT truth, and #1 explains works of the law, and many others on other topics of false teaching.

But the main Christianity belief is about Juses sacrificing himself for the sin of all human beings...

It almost sounds like Jesus came in armed with his soldiers to take over the place. I’d imagine back then if you caused a ruckus you’d be dragged out by the guards in no time.

Mark's Jesus is a parable for Paul, the apostle to all nations. For Mark the Jerusalem church were all a den of Judas Sicarii (Sicariots) who received permission from the Zealot chief priests of the Jerusalem church (Way) to assassinate Paul for teaching against the Law (Acts 21:20-22, 28). The Way threw dust in the air and said Paul was not fit to live when Paul said he was sent to all nations by Jesus (Acts 22:21-22). The Jerusalem church (the Way) rejected Paul and Paul's pacifist Jesus Christ and chose instead their own sikarios Jesus Barabbas. That is why the lord of the vineyard destroyed those wicked husbandmen. This is the meaning of Mark's parables. The Zealots put an end to the sacrifices on behalf of Caesar (king of all nations) which Josephus said was a key step in the Jewish rebellion against Rome. This is why Mark (not Jesus) says the Temple was a den of lestes (Judas Sicariots) and not Paul's house of prayer for all nations (cf. Mark 1:2-3 and elsewhere Mark conflates two OT passages). The Sicarii were shredders of human beings with the sica daggers they used to assassinate traitors (Acts 21:38). The Roman soldier in Acts 21:38 asks Paul if he is a "sikarios", but it is the "sikarios" of the Jerusalem church who swear an oath to the chief priests of the Jerusalem church to kill Paul. It is obvious the "sikarios" would not be colluding with the Herodian-Roman appointed high priest Ananias whom they would later murder for being a Roman collaborator.

No, you said the Jewish church “Way”, sought to assassinate Paul, but The Way = The Christian way of worshipping God, they did not seek Paul’s death. The apostate Jewish Church wanted Paul dead, for he was a powerful Way apostle in spreading the truth. Paul did not preach against the law either, he was under covenant with God, and honored Gods laws. The Jews that converted to the new covenant, were all living under and honored the old covenant for 40 years after Christs resurrection waiting for its complete fulfillment in which the new covenant had been fully implemented. This is the Way, I understand it.

The Catholic Confraternity NT Acts 22:3 says the Way was "zealous for the Law" even as Paul had been zealous for the Law - they were not apostate, they were the Jewish church of James. And the brethren of the Way were willing to hear Paul until Paul said Jesus had sent him to the Gentiles (the nations). At which point they (the Way) said it was not right that Paul should live. In Acts 23 some forty "Jews" made a conspiracy with the chief priests and elders to kill Paul. Logically these would be the same zealous chief priests and elders of the Way who had previously accused Paul of teaching Jews in the Diaspora to apostatize from Moses (Acts 21:20-22). The high priest Ananias would not have colluded with the Zealots to kill Paul, because the Zealots later killed Ananias for being a Roman collaborator. However, Ananias did collaborate with the Romans to have Paul imprisoned and sent to Rome, where Paul probably was executed by Nero for belonging to the seditious Nazarene sect. So this very much mirrors the parable Mark is telling about his version of Jesus. Mark is creating a backstory to Paul's preached Jesus, and Mark creates his Jesus as a parable for Paul (the sower who went out to sow). Mark does not like the Jerusalem church (who rejected Paul and Paul's Gospel in Antioch Gal 2:11-14). And the Jerusalem church was never reconciled to Paul, Paul's Gospel, and Paul's Jesus, just as Mark's Jesus is never understood by the Jewish disciples in Mark's Gospel. It goes without saying that Mark knew the parable he was telling (Mark 4:13). To look at the Jewish church as apostate is to look at the Jewish church from the point of view of the Gentile churches of Paul and from the "literal" point of view of the Gentile Pauline Gospels/Acts written by Paul's churches after Paul's death. These Gentile churches did not know the historical Jesus because Paul did not know him and did not want to know the historical Jesus after the flesh. Instead Paul only revealed to his churches the Jesus and the Gospel that he himself had received in visions from the Lord (2Cor 11:4, Gal 1:6-12) . Therefore, as a result, Paul's view and the parabolic Pauline Jesus of the Gospels became the orthodox view, and the Jerusalem church view became the "apostate" view. But the Jewish church was not apostate either from the Law or from the historical Jesus Barabbas. And that is what got the Jewish church in trouble with Rome, just as it had gotten Jesus Barabbas in trouble with Rome. This is what the Gospels mean when they say "the Jews" rejected [Paul's] Jesus Christ and chose instead [Jesus] Barabbas. "The Jews" in question are those of the Jerusalem church and James the brother of Jesus [Barabbas]. It is a parable. It is likely the elders of the Gentile churches of Paul did not want their "little children" to follow the example of the seditious Jerusalem church. And that is why the Gospels and Acts are written the way they are.

This episode gets a little messy IMO Dr. Tabor. You mention the importance of context, but then equate the sins being committed by teachers of the law with accused rebels. The two scenarios are completely different contextually. Jesus’ warning at the Temple was referring to how the Jewish tradition of celebrating Abraham passing the test God gave him, which gained importance during the Passover in Egypt, turned into a full blown commercial enterprise. Read Mark 12:38-40 to get a better understanding of how the teachers are being described. They were essentially practicing a form of idolatry with their slaughter, and in doing so broke two of God’s Commandments. The parable of the tenants in Mark 12 was the warning given if they do not heed his messenger. In true human form and fashion, Muslim tradition has misinterpreted the real purpose of that site by forbidding non-Muslims from entering, but the important point is for now at least, idol worship in his house has been stopped.

The temple must have smelled of carrion, don't you think? And surely there was a need for a cleanup crew. Very nasty! And a lot of modern messianic Jews look forward to the reinstatement of the temple sacrificial system! I consider that very misguided.

the term 'messianic Jews' normally refers to Jews who have come to believe Jesus is the Messiah. As such they do NOT believe in the reinstatement of the Temple sacrificial system as they believe Jesus was the ultimate and final sacrifice for sin.

Sounds like the entire Bible is a scribal interpolation on parchment and papyrus and myths like the Seat of Moses. Oh well. 😅

I think the best translation of the original Hebrew and the Greek (in the Septuagint) in Jeremiah is 'robber'. Yes violence was part of it, as robbing typically involved violence towards the person being robbed, particularly if in a public place, just like today. A similar word is also used when Jesus tells the story of the Good Samaritan, in describing those who attacked and robbed the poor chap on the road. So I think that is the idea being painted, both by Jeremiah and Jesus. I dont understand how you can claim that in Jesus' mind, the Temple was ONLY for prayer. Jesus knew the Old Testament Scriptures, and viewed them as God's word to the Jewish people. It is God who described how the Temple should be built and its purpose. Part of that was clearly sacrifice. And prayer. Both. You seem to be picking and choosing the words of Jesus to bolster your own views, rather than allowing Him to speak.

Do your self a service And ask why the Dead Sea Scrolls were being transferred from Ancient Greek to Hebrew? Hmmmm things they don’t tell you. The old testament is a third century BC work of literature that came out of Greece.

Did you pick this up from Christspiracy? It's good info, but not new.

Jesus Christ was a Nazarene from Nazareth. Matthew 2,23 Adam in Hebrew #120 in Strongs exhaustive concordance means ruddy completed, rosy, shows blood in the face, means white, Mary’s lineage Luke 3 her father was Heli, goes back through Nathan David’s son…….Seth Adam, son of God. Means white. I was given a vision of Jesus Christ 3 times Acts 2:27,28 He is white, go to Wikipedia letter fro. Lentulus governor of the jerusalemites to the Roman senate and the people….. Jesus was a Nazarene. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for Christspiracy Thank you for exposing the 2000 year lie Dr. James Tabor

You say lestes, I say Lestat 😉

"Butchers"

I dont buy your explanation at all. Since the beggining God wanted blood sacrifice, because life is in the blood. In another words, sin means death, and death means bloodshed. That why God refused the fruits and flowers of Cain and accepted the blood from Abel. Jesus knew this.

I think it’s a stretch to mean “there never was any need for animal sacrifices”, as they clearly had there place in the temple period. It’s when the sacrifices took over to be “a slaughterhouse”, instead of the intended “house of prayer for all nations”, that both Jeremiah, as well as Jesus reacted to the situation.
