Maybe you can explain where Paul invented it? Hebrews 8:13 isn't by Paul, and Romans 11 grafts Gentiles on to the house of Israel.
The people chose to:
Throughout the NT, especially his Letters. Replacement Theology is the basis of the NT, considering that the NT was written by Hellenist former disciples of Paul's.
Not Yeshua but the Hellenist who attributed those words to him. Not a single Jew wrote a single page of the NT.
We cannot assert that Yeshua authored the words applied to him because he never even dreamed the NT would ever rise. When Paul showed up preaching his gospel, Yeshua had been gone for perhaps about 30 years.
See what I mean? That's Replacement Theology language.
Tell me about it!
The people chose to: Zechariah 11 is the divorce decree for the 30 pieces of silver, put in the Potters field in the house of Israel; thus nullifying the covenant made with all the people.
HaShem never divorced Judah which is now the new Israel. He did divorce Israel, the Ten Tribes aka the Tabernacle of Joseph if you read Psalm 78:67-69 where we have that He rejected Israel and confirmed
Judah to remain as a People aka a lamp before the Lord forever for the sake of David. (I Kings 11:36)
If you read Zechariah 11:10, it says the covenant made with all people is broken, i.e. the Abrahmic covenant.
That is well off, lets dissect it....
Luke 12:3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
From Yeshua's parables, not from Paul, John and Simon, who seem determined that the children of Israel are still chosen, and do not understand how prophecy fits together.
I'm not trying at all to be sarcastic but I do believe that if I believed in a virgin birth then I'm likely to believe in just about anything, especially from a Jewish perspective.
Actually there's no way to confirm or deny their heritage because the vast majority of the lineage records were destroyed during the Babylonian Exile, roughly 500 years before Jesus was born.
Most people couldn't read nor write back then, plus people and families did not have access to 500 years of family history at their fingertips. Even today in this modern country where literacy is high, can you give me the names of some of your relatives that lived 500 years ago?
I'm not sure you are giving credit to the capacity of the human mind when it is important. My 6 grandchildren can name all major events in order from the last 6,000 years--the youngest being in 2nd grade.
LOL! I can't remember what I did yesterday?! BTW, can you name your ancestors by name 500 years ago?
The genealogies in Torah don't exactly match, but I'll cut them some slack on that. To deal with your question, my guess is that they were derived from oral traditions, especially since taking it literally doesn't make a great deal of sense at the earliest end (Adam & Eve +), plus the issue of time and distance makes such a process highly unlikely.
Maybe-- maybe not. It's a myth (doesn't mean false), so the importance to me is what's being taught here.
By all means.... NO! But then again, that isn't important to me.
I can, however, give you a big memorized list of Bible verses. That's important to me.Not vague at all. But didn't you just establish my point? How can there be oral tradition if it isn't memorized?
