Comment on Human Sacrifice by Menashe Dovid (מנשה דוד)

No I do not agree. The blood was a visible sign of Israel’s choice of the G-d of Israel over the lamb god of the Egyptians. It had nothing to do with atonement for sins. The written Torah clearly indicates (as I have shown in the article) that the lamb was a god of the Egyptians.

I think you agree with me when you say “the blood … was a visible declaration that the Israelites did not wan to sin”, since I never say they wanted to sin.

More important: yes, it is implied within the text that the blood is at the same time judgement for the sinners…, so how could it not become a pass againts death (Ex 12:13)?

Of course, they rejected the ram god –much more specifically, as any other god for it was the Only true G-d manifesting Himself as a Judge with the plagues–. There is no lamb god in Egypt… That interpretation comes from rabbinical references. Supposing that as true, then we must consider as true the passover lamb blood as a pass for sin, as in hebrew tradition is stated… (Isaiah Targum).

Shalom.

Comment on Khazars by Spencer Sloane

Good work Menashe. Life and history are not coincidences. The restoration of Israel is G-d’s work and he has carefully selected each and every person who is there. There’s no doubt that some of the Khazars were assimilated into Jewry as were Yochabed, Rahab, and Ruth (who you mentioned). As you also wrote, a “mixed multitude” came out of Egypt.I do believe that G-d has made certain irrevocable promises to the physical descendants of Jacob, but His promises don’t require a genetic percentage—a smidgen of Jacob’s genes will do. G-d seeks all opportunities to bless so He is inclusive. It is man who seeks to exclude. I believe that G-d has preserved far more of the seed of Jacob than is apparent. How many Jews have hidden their identity, even from their own children, to avoid persecution? My theory is that G-d is repeating what He did with Gideon’s army. He will reveal to the world that The G-d of Israel is G-d by limiting the population of Israel so that man cannot get the glory for Israel’s survival against all odds. Just as he pared down Gideon;’s army, he has extracted only a handful from the seed of Jacob. He extracted the Hebrews from the Gentiles. Then He extracted Judah from the Israelites. Now he has extracted the Israelis from Jewry. Just my theory.

Messiah and saviour are not the same words and if you knew Hebrew you would know this.

You are struggling Menashe. Messiah, Savior, One and the same. It is a game of semantics you are playing. And to be totally honest the nation went into captivity and has languished for 2000 years because of a stubborn heart towards the love of Yeshua. You perpetuate the suffering of your precious people. This is a tragic. That you would read the Torah with insight and understand about Joseph and Moshe and have your eyes opened.

Nowhere in the account of the exodus is it stated or inferred that the Passover lamb was a blood sacrifice for sin. The basis for putting the blood on the door posts was in fact the opposite, the blood on the doorposts was a visible declaration that the Israelites did not want to sin. The Israelites did not sin, they rejected the lamb god of the Egyptians and obeyed the instructions of G-d.

If the Passover sacrifice was not for sins (a rejection of G-d as who He is, is by itself the breaking of the marrow of Torah as law, concerning to Pharaoh and those israelites that, at the end, would not place the blood in the lintel and doorsposts) it could not be any pass againts death. And death is the sentence for transgression. If not, how could be a judgement against Pharaoh and Egypt? And no only againts them, but also against hebrew family that won’t put the blood in the doorsposts.

The Passover korban implies judgement against disbelief and transgression (was not the way Egypt treated the hebrews a disbelief about G-d -as the plagues argue- and transgression to the commandments (in a moral sense)? Couldn’t every hebrew that not place the blood plently as G-d said, in obedience to Him, be taken as a transgressor and disbeliever, and because of that, worth of judgement? And judgement is death; and disbelief and transgression sins both of them.

That is the centre of the question: if sinning brings to death, then, death itself passing over the repented, provoqued by the sacrifice of Yeshua is signified as the blood-sign in the lintel and the doorsposts is a pass againts death. Yeshua becomes the pass within teshuvah as it was within the passover celebration theb blood of the lamb . All subsequent celebrations are to be taken as a memorial.

The lamb idol issue is just an historical claim; a correct one, but it does not comes part of the centre of the Passover celebration.

Respectfully with respects to my comment: the comment discusses teshuvah and sacrifice for sins. The article points out very plainly that the Passover sacrifice was not a sacrifice for sins. The Passover sacrifice was a very visible sign of the Israelite’s rejection of the lamb idol of the Egyptians. It is a mistake to equate the two as you have done in your response.
