Cleareyes on page 65 I gave my opinion with scriptures as to why I believe there was a sacrifice ..and why Jesus had to die (shed blood ) to accomplish what he did ..if your interested ...maybe you could add something to it to help us all understand it better ..
I believe what happened with Abraham was just a foreshadow (showing Abraham) what he was going to do with Jesus in the future (Giving his only son )
Mary was the wife of Joseph and the mother of Jesus Christ, who was conceived within her by the Holy Spirit when she was a virgin. She is often called the “Virgin Mary,” though never in Scripture are those two words put together as a proper name (Matt. 2:11; Matthew 1:23; Luke 1:27; Acts 1:14).
Little is known of her personal history. Her genealogy is given in Luke 3 (see below). She was of the tribe of Judah and the lineage of David (Psalm 132:11; Luke 1:32). She was connected by marriage with Elisabeth, who was of the lineage of Aaron (Luke 1:36).
This sounds like some kind of contradiction at first glance, but in fact there is no contradiction. An examination of Scripture reveals that the phrase "Son of Man" carries broad significance.
First of all, even if the phrase "Son of Man" is a reference to Jesus' humanity, it is not a denial of His deity. By becoming a man, Jesus did not cease being God. The incarnation of Christ did not involve the subtraction of deity, but the addition of humanity. Jesus clearly claimed to be God on many occasions (Matthew 16:16,17; John 8:58; 10:30). But in addition to being divine, He was also human (see Philippians 2:6-8). He had two natures (divine and human) conjoined in one person.

So then who was the Son of man? If Jesus was the Son of G.d (as in the only begotten), who was the Son of man?
Were you all even aware that the promised messiah was to be of the lineage of David and not by the mothers line, but by the line of the father?

Strange.. a man is not a lamb.. actually, the strange thing is believing that a lamb does = a man.

Read these things yourself please before you bring them to the thread as though they were fact.
Luke 3
23And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
Not the line of Mary. It is clear.

You make a good point.
Matthew was so dead set on shoehorning Jesus into Jewish mythology, he seems not to have read the part where Jesus says, "Call no man father". This is really an excellent example of how the pop gospel scribes were not free of an agenda of their own.

So, what about Ezekiel? He too was called the Son of man. Was he Jesus? Jesus was *not* the Word. The Word spoke through the prophets. Jesus was a prophet (if He even existed.. which is neither there nor here if one truly understands the Scriptures).

*claps* exactly. The whole of the NT took the staff (the law) and turned it into a snake (deception). This was a common illusion of the magicians in the courts of Pharoah in Egypt (which is an allegory of what most of you are buying into now.. the illusion)... hence... G.d said to Moses (allegory), pick up the snake by the tail and what happens.. it turns back into the staff. This is happening before you and you fail to see it though it is all there in front of you all.
He is allowing it to be pointed out to you the holes and all the laws that were broken in their version.. and yet you all continue to say "G.d breaks Laws."

Mislead Sheep? I personally doubt that she is mislead. Look at what she has provided excellent examples and the TRUTH of the word and the Truth by God. The true word of God was written by the OT, but his son, Jesus, brought the word of truth. Jesus spoke the word of his father,in essence he was the word made flesh.

Also I have stated over and over that the lineage in matthew is missing 4 names that are clearly noted in 2 Chronicles.
So, that is not too reliable, now is it?
