Neither Yahushua nor “Jesus” or whoever never ever mentioned that he was going to die for anyone.
At the end of his ministry when “Jesus” mentioned to his disciples that he was going to go to Jerusalem and die none of them believed that the death of HaMaschiach was a necessary event in the fulfilment of any prophecy. They believed all the opposite. It is Christianity that needs to have a human sacrifice for it to work. Christianity is deeply rooted in Heathenism.
Mark 8:31 (NIV) He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
Mark never met Yahushua personally. So all that he wrote comes from second and third hand sources and who knows how many editors. I don’t know where he got the idea that “the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.” This was written many years after the facts, so it is easy to be a past tense prophet, too. This “MUST” happen should be fully investigated and documented. I did some extensive investigation and was unable to document myself from the Tanakh. So any help that can shed some light on this dark subject of human sacrifice to placate an allegedly angry Creator is welcome.
On a side note on Mark’s script, we can see how well trained was Peter that he got a hold of “Jesus” and “took him aside” and rebuke him privately. Unlike Paul, Peter was trained by Yahushua. Paul never took Peter aside to rebuke him on his habit of not eating the unclean stuff the Heathen eat, but he rebuked him in front of everybody. There is a great lesson right here that practically all the preachers are missing. Of course, calling Peter, “Satan” was uncalled for and most likely never happened. Obviously, Mark wanted to make a point that to reject “Jesus” proposition in verse 31 can only be of the devil. Let’s face it, Peter was the holder of the keys of the kingdom. Can you imagine Peter walking about telling everybody, “Hey, ‘Jesus’ called me Satan.” Even if it really happened, I don’t think so. That is not really the best way to build anybody’s morale and self esteem, especially if the man in question has the keys of the kingdom. If Paul were to know this at Antioch when he publicly rebuked Peter, he would most likely avail himself of this information to totally discredit Peter in front of everybody reminding him that he was called, “Satan.” So I really question something that certainly looks like a Christian made up story. It is also a violation of HaTorah among the children of Israel to insult each other. “Sweet Jesus” is made to look like an unpredictable bitter cursing man. We see him calling the Pharisees, “brood of vipers,” and so on. Then he turns around and calls Peter, “Satan.” You just don’t know whom is he going to take on next. BTW, Mark was written many years after Paul wrote his letter to the Galatians, so Paul wouldn’t have known that Peter was called, “Satan.” Paul was probably dead by the time Mark was written. So it is under these circumstances that Christianity was put together and how the human sacrifice idea was stuffed in the mind of the Christians, not through documentation, but who wants to be called, Satan?
1 Peter 3:18 (KJV) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 4:1 (KJV) Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
In any case, the fact that the apostles didn’t understand the need of a human sacrifice to atone for the sin or sins of the world shows that the subject of dying for anyone was not covered during “Jesus” ministry. The statement made that the eyes of the apostles were closed to the truth and they were walking in the darkness until after the resurrection doesn’t make any sense. It doesn’t take long to sense that Yahushua’s apostles (Jews) were always in the dark. They had to be clarified and explained every story that they heard, while Paul’s disciples (Gentiles) were always full of all knowledge and so on. Actually, they were capable of understanding everything in a few short days. Also, they were more familiarized with the offering of a human sacrifice to peace an angry mighty one than the Jews were.
It is unprecedented in the Sacred Scriptures the need of a human sacrifice to atone for sin or sins of the world. In fact, while the Heathen around Abraham did offer human sacrifice to their idols, Abraham was probably so used to see it done that when Yahweh asked him to offer Isaac in sacrifice he didn’t hesitate, thinking maybe that it was the way it is. Yahweh used the occasion to teach us all that human sacrifice is not what Yahweh likes or wants from us. Human sacrifice is offered to idols for the benefit of the living, of course. That is the idea in Heathenism. Moshe was also tested along the same line. He offered himself as a human sacrifice to atone for the sin of Israel, but Yahweh said that it is not the way it is.
Exodus 32:31-34 * So Moses went back to Yahweh and said, "Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold.
32 But now, please forgive their sin--but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written."
33 Yahweh replied to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.
34 Now go, lead the people to the place I spoke of, and my angel will go before you. However, when the time comes for me to punish, I will punish them for their sin."
The lesson here is that no one is to die for someone else’s sin. Throughout the Sacred Scriptures we can read that the children are not responsible of the sins of their parents. They are subject to suffer the consequences, but they are not responsible for the sins of their parents. This is a misunderstood principle to accommodate the Christian doctrine of human sacrifice. So Yahushua or “Jesus” or whoever is not responsible and cannot possibly atone for the sins of his father Joseph and his mother Miriam and much less for the sins of others.
2 Kings 14:5-6 * After the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
6 Yet he did not put the sons of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where Yahweh commanded: "Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sins."
Ezekiel 18:20 * The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him.
Psalms 49:7 * No man can redeem the life of another or give to Elohim a ransom for him--
8 the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough--
9 that he should live on forever and not see decay.
Numbers 35:31 * "`Do not accept a ransom for the life of a murderer, who deserves to die. He must surely be put to death.
33 "`Do not pollute the land where you are. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it.
Yahweh made it abundantly clear that he doesn’t really want any sacrifice, but obedience.
Jeremiah 7:21-24 * "`This is what Yahweh Almighty, the Elohim of Israel, says: Go ahead, add your burnt offerings to your other sacrifices and eat the meat yourselves!
22 For when I brought your forefathers out of Egypt and spoke to them, I did not just give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices,
23 but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your Elohim and you will be my people. Walk in all the ways I command you, that it may go well with you.
24 But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward.
The Christian religion had to change all that to make it work. So they found a way of using a half way truth to justify human sacrifice. They quote part of Yahweh’s word and the rest they make up.
Hebrews 10:5-10 (NIV) Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me;
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, `Here I am--it is written about me in the scroll-- I have come to do your will, O God.'"
8 First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made).
9 Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second (i.e. the “prepared body” bit).
10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
This is hogwash! Christianity is full of deception. If they can’t quote a truthful verse of the Sacred Scripture to back up their claims about the need of a human sacrifice, they make up one. This is not a case of a misquotation, but of an outright twisting of a square peg to fit a round hole. This is what the Sacred Scriptures have to say maybe about Israel in general and not necessarily of HaMaschiach in particular,
Psalms 40:6-11 * Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but my ears you have opened; burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not require.
7 Then I said, "Here I am, I have come-- it is written about me in the scroll.
8 I desire to do your will, O my Elohim; your law is within my heart."
9 I proclaim righteousness in the great assembly; I do not seal my lips, as you know, O Yahweh.
10 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart; I speak of your faithfulness and salvation. I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.
11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, O Yahweh; may your love and your truth always protect me.
The Christians modified the Sacred Scriptures that they quote to make it say something completely different to justify the Heathen practice of human sacrifice. They replaced, “Open ears to Yahweh’s words” with, “Prepared a body” – Christians are anomial (i.e. lawless) so they feel they can get away with murder. The full truth is like Yahweh said through Jeremiah and all the prophets, “Walk in all the ways I command you that it may go well with you. But they did not listen or pay attention.”
Micah 6:6-8 * With what shall I come before Yahweh and bow down before the exalted Elohim? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does Yahweh require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your Elohim.
I can go on quoting Sacred Scripture page after page of instructions about how to atone for one’s sins and obviously human sacrifice is ruled off! When I stop and think about it I wonder what made the Christians for 2000 years so blind and deaf to Yahweh’s word.
