Was Jesus scourged to a bloody pulp?

Was Jesus scourged to a bloody pulp?

Is it true that Jesus was scourged to such an extent that the whip marks left his body resembling a bloody pulp? Let's find out. Answer: Scourging appears to have been a customary preliminary administered to those about to be crucified. The condemned, usually stripped naked, was beaten and mocked all the way to the execution site. Yet, at most, Jesus underwent a superficial scourging. According to Mark 15:20 and Matthew 27:31 the Roman soldiers "put his own outer garments on him" before he was

How can a Jew Answer the Christian missionary's Question, "Are you saved?

How can a Jew Answer the Christian missionary's Question, "Are you saved?" . Let's find out in this post. Answer: The Christian belief that atonement can only be effected through Jesus runs counter to the provisions for atonement prescribed in the Jewish Scriptures. First and foremost, God, and no one else, provides the means of reconciliation and fellowship (2 Chronicles 7:14), which precludes any claim for atonement through the death of Jesus. In contrast to the Christian concept that man is

Did Jesus possess the Melchizedek priesthood?

Did Jesus possess the Melchizedek priesthood?

It is true that Jesus did not have the Aaronic priesthood, but didn't he posses the Melchizedek priesthood and thereby could offer up himself as a sacrifice? Answer: The claim that Jesus held a priesthood "according to the order of Melchizedek" is made in Hebrews 6:20. This claim is irrelevant to any discussion of sacrifice made under the Mosaic Law. It is that Law that Jesus is said to have fulfilled and nullified by offering up himself (Hebrews 7:27). The so-called "better covenant" (Hebrews

Was Jesus a high priest?

Was Jesus a high priest?

Isn't it true that Jesus was a high priest and therefore he offered himself as a sacrifice? Answer: It is true that the New Testament Book of Hebrews claims that Jesus was a self-sacrificing high priest. It states: "Christ appeared as a high priest . . . and . . . through his own blood . . . obtained eternal redemption" (Hebrews 9:11-12). Now, remember that the New Testament's Jesus could not violate, even inadvertently, one commandment of the Mosaic Law (Matthew 5:17-18) and that Jesus suppo

Jesus = Perfect Sacrifice?

Jesus = Perfect Sacrifice?

Didn't Jesus' death mark the culmination of his perfect observance of the Mosaic Law and the institution of the perfect and continuous sacrifice for all time? Let's find out. The claim that one person's perfect observance of the Mosaic Law makes it unnecessary for others to observe it is not found in the Jewish Scriptures. The notion of a one time perfect sacrifice is also alien to the Jewish Scriptures. The New Testament states that included in Jesus' earthly task was the mission to completel

Jesus' death = remission of sin?

Jesus' death = remission of sin?

Did Jesus' manner of death satisfy the animal atonement sacrifice provisions for remission of sin of the Hebrew Scriptures? Answer: According to the Hebrew Scriptures, the only animals permitted for sacrificial purposes are those that have split hooves and chew their cud. The carcass of an unclean animal deFILEs (Leviticus 11:26). On these grounds alone, human beings are disqualified for sacrificial purposes. Jesus, as a human being, was unfit for sacrificial purposes. An animal blood atoneme

Did Jesus Fulfill the Law (the Torah)?

Did Jesus Fulfill the Law (the Torah)?

QUESTION: Did Jesus Fulfill the Law (the Torah)? ANSWER: The Law (the Torah) is considered by the New Testament to have been completely fulfilled by Jesus (Matthew 5:17-18). Complete fulfillment could only occur at the moment of Jesus' death (John 19:30). That death is considered the culmination of the Law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24-25; Ephesians 1:7; Hebrews 10:12, 14). Everything occurring to Jesus prior to that moment would have had to be under the Law. Yet, neither the physical condit
