Chapter 36a - MY FLESH DWELLS IN SAFETY: A RESURRECTION FANTASY

Continued from Chapter 35 (Psalms 16:9-10) My flesh dwells in safety The Masoretic text of Psalms 16:9-10 reads: Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also dwells in safety. For You will not abandon my soul to the netherworld; neither will You allow Your faithful one to see the pit. However, while the Masoretic text renders the Hebrew word spelled shin-vav-hay as “pit” the Septuagint Greek renders it as “corruption,” “decay.” The difference is the result of choosing a

Chapter 41b - IS GOD SITTING NEXT TO HIMSELF?

Continued from Chapter 41a God cannot be separate from Himself The privilege of sitting at the right hand is a mark of distinction (1 Kings 2:19). The terminology “sit at My right hand” is used here as an idiomatic expression showing God’s favoritism toward David. When God invites David to “sit at My right hand,” it is to show the privileged position enjoyed by David in his relationship with God. It is not to be taken as literally indicating anyone actually sitting at God’s right hand. Simil

Luke 2:4,5 -Was Mary a descendant of David?

According to the author of Luke, Joseph came to Bethlehem "because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register, along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child" (Luke 2:4-5). Does this verse show that Mary was a descendant of David? Answer: There is nothing in these verses to show that Joseph and Mary were both of Davidic ancestry and, therefore, going to the same town to register. As his future spouse, one might stretch credulity to the maximum and presume that M

Who's genealogy is given by Luke?

Doesn't it make sense to say that the Gospel of Luke gives Mary's genealogy, since it would be nonsense to go through Joseph's line if he is not the biological father of Jesus? It should be noted that the Gospel of Matthew sets the precedent for presenting a genealogy of Jesus that goes through Joseph. Incidentally, this genealogy goes through a line (Jehoiakim) that is disqualified for kingship. Therefore, it is not surprising that Luke's genealogical list also gives a genealogy (much differe

Chapter 18j - THE VIRGIN MISCONCEPTION MYTH

Continued from Chapter 18i Who could say with certainty that she was a virgin following her child’s conception or at his birth?11 A virgin being with child would not be an outstanding sign? The sign is a message imparted by the name of the male child, that is, Immanuel — “God with us,” born to the young woman, and the events that subsequently followed his birth. In the New Testament, everyone assumed Joseph was the father of Jesus (Luke 3:23) and Jesus is never called Immanuel. The birth of
