    Behold the Man whose Name is Tsemach.

    Right. But this branch descends from the root of Jesse after he coppices the original fathering-organ (circumcision). That means Messiah must come from the root of Jesse, asexually, not from the seed of Jesse (through sexual means) which is why the Hebrew word "tsemach" speaks not of a normal...

    Behold the Man whose Name is Tsemach.

    And that is the secret of (Exodus 12:20), “You shall not eat any machmetzet (leavened thing).” Chametz is in the middle and the letters [that spell] dead (met) are at the beginning (mem) and end (tav). Shney Luchot HaBerit, Aseret HaDibrot, Pesachim, Torah Ohr 25. What the Shelah says...

    Behold the Man whose Name is Tsemach.

    The holy Shelah (Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz) draws the connection between leaven שאר, chametz חמץ, and sexual-reproduction, when he speaks of the snake/Satan polluting the first sinners. In Genesis 2:21, the angel of death opens Adam's body to corrupt him with the leaven שאר Adam later shares with...

    Behold the Man whose Name is Tsemach.

    In horticulture, there's two ways to produce branches: sexual and asexual. Sexually speaking, a tree produces a flower such that when the union of the male sperm nucleus (from the pollen grain) unites with female egg found in the ovary, a new tree, and thus new branches, are sexually reproduced...

    Behold the Man whose Name is Tsemach.

    Every translation is an interpretation since the interpreter must carefully exegete the word he's translating in order to match it to the word in his translation. Unfortunately, at least for the translator, often times there's not really a fitting word in the language he's translating to that...

    How Paul changed the course of Christianity

    Where interpretation is completely relativized, anything can mean and be anything, so long as it's consistent with the prism or context used to determine meaning. Interpretation and meaning are relativistic unless a transcendental signifier anchors the thought-space so that by anchoring the...

    How Paul changed the course of Christianity

    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The Holy Bible: King James Version (Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version., Jn 14:6–7). (2009). Logos Research Systems, Inc. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    As virgin birth is older than Christianity, so too, circumcision, animal sacrifice, etc., etc., are older than Judaism. As Professor Nahum Sarna points out, Jewish and Christian rituals, symbols, and practices, though they aren't completely dependent on the so-called "pagan" precedents, are...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Saying that being a "nazarene" qualifies one to be called "The Righteous Lord," segues into the holy Shelah's comments as noted earlier: Remember that if Adam had not sinned the whole concept of areas that are sanctified and areas that are not would not have existed. The whole earth would have...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Message #697 deals with the fact that a human can be a sacrifice if they're not conceived by means of the "evil smelling drop of semen" (Avot 3:1); they can be sacrificed to God as a fitting recompense for sin since they're not subject to death being that the wages of sin is death and they...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Technically speaking, God wouldn't have to assume a human form, and Messiah wouldn't have to redeem anything, if the first humans hadn't sinned. Remember that if Adam had not sinned the whole concept of areas that are sanctified and areas that are not would not have existed. The whole earth...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    Since everyone but Jesus is born with sin, it seems like a miraculous conception would be required for him to be born different than everyone else? If billions and billions of persons have been born with sin, and nary one, save Jesus, is conceived without sin, then just that mathematical oddity...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    So glad to hear it! Imo, they generally speaking, genuinely deserve love, honor, and respect. There can hardly be a doubt they're a national version of a singular suffering servant. Which segues into the title of this thread and the message you responded to that addressed the nature of the...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    The Hebraism for "retrofit" is "chukkim." That means the most important decrees in the entire Tanakh (say brit milah: ritual circumcision) have rationales that aren't known by Jews such that the meaning will have to be retrofitted after Messiah reveals the meaning of the decrees. Jews will...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    It takes two to tango. :) It seems to me that the details are important so far as deciphering the message properly. Case in point, the concept of the messiah; it's dependent on a lot of small details that are extremely important to placing that idea into a modern, philosophical, historical...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    I think what the intention of scripture is or isn't depends on a whole lot of determining factors dependent on who's doing the exegesis and interpretation. For instance, David's male line is contaminated with the Coniah curse so that Jesus' virgin birth kind of miraculously deals with the fact...

    Why Jews don't believe in Jesus

    If I'm not mistaken, inheritance can come through adoption (Jesus is adopted by Joseph). Nevertheless, if Jesus is born of a virgin, that situation is so unique that I wouldn't be too confident applying the rules for all we b--tards conceived through the original sin of phallic-sex to someone...

    The Holy Shelah: Lamb of God Demonic Lord.

    I don't think the lamb of God represents the Egyptians or vice versa. I think the lamb of God represents God, per 1 Cor. 5:7. So do you disagree with 1 Cor. 5:7? 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27 That ye shall say, It is the...

    Cherubim.

    Whoever is circumcised and enters this heritage and guards this covenant, enters and cleaves to the body of the King and enters this Righteous One. Thereby they are called righteous, and so they will inherit the land forever. The Zohar (The Zohar: Pritzker Edition vol. III) (Kindle Locations...

    The Holy Shelah: Lamb of God Demonic Lord.

    . . . They do acknowledge the strange Hebrew that says Moses is a man of God, or a God/man. John
