Ah... is it REALLY a 'quote' or a 'paraphrase'?
They are quotes. And even if they were a paraphrase..They can not change the plain meaning of G-ds word..right!
Here is a small sample of tampering with the text...just like mormons do. You do.
Hebrews 9:22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness (The bible NEVER says that. Hebrews is "quoting" Lev 17:11, deliberately leaving out Lev 17:10 that says that blood is not to be eaten, it is not a food. Why? Because the only use for blood, is for atonement. It does NOT say, that it is the ONLY means of atonement and in fact, Lev 5 describes the use of FLOUR as an atonement for sin. The bible has many examples of prayer, repentance, fasting and charity as PREFERRED means of atonement. NOT blood..
Hebrews 10:5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me ; ( It doesn’t say that!, that is a blatant mistranslation. It says: “Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have [b]opened; Burnt offering and sin offering You have not required”. The author of Hebrews is playing with the scriptures fast and loose. And we are supposed to trust in it?
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. (Again, the author tampers with the text, it says: 16 “For You (AF)do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a (AG)broken spirit; A broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise”. And likewise: 6 (A)With what shall I come to the LORD And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with (B)burnt offerings, With yearling calves? 7 Does the LORD take delight in (C)thousands of rams, In ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my (D)firstborn for my rebellious acts, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He has (E)told you, O man, what is good; And (F)what does the LORD require of you But to (G)do justice, to (H)love [a]kindness, And to walk [b](I)humbly with your God)
The author of Hebrews only quotes part of verses...or changes it completely to make LOOK like it is about Jesus.
Hebrews 10: 16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”[b] 17 Then he adds:
“Their sins and lawless acts I will remember no more.” (More text tampering! It says: Behold, days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a (BX)new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, [c] The new covenant is with Israel and Judah NOT the gentiles. Then the writer ships this part “They will (CE)not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for they will all (CF)know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the LORD,”…That has NOT happened yet…therefore no new covenant exists for Israel, the house of Judah and certainly NOT THE GENTILES.
And Matthew pulls the same stunts:
MATTHEW’S ERRORS, DISTORTIONS & MISQUOTATIONS
Over twenty times in the gospel of Matthew, goes out of his way to tell of prophecy fulfillment. By doing so, the author of Matthew had to misquote, misinterpret verses in his favor, take verses out of context, or simply make them up to reach his goal. Comparing what the author of Matthew wrote to the Old Testament―the Hebrew Bible; we find the following:
CONTRADICTS OLD TESTAMENT
Matthew 1:2―15 – His list of generations does not agree with l Chronicles Ch. 1―3 Matt. 1:16 – Trying so hard to make Jesus appear to come from David's lineage that he ignored Jewish law. The Hebrew bible states that a Hebrew's genealogy and tribal membership is transmitted exclusively through one’s PHYSICAL father, never the mother. (Numbers 1:18 Jeremiah 33:17) Matthew has Jesus descending from the cursed King Jeconiah, who G-d told his descendants would NEVER sit on the throne of David. Jesus is therefore disqualified. Matt.5:43 – had Jesus say, “thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy.” Leviticus 19:18 does not mention any enemy, only “…love thy neighbour as thyself.” Matt. 15:11 – “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.” Contradicted by all the dietary laws in the Hebrew bible.
MISQUOTING, TAKING OUT OF CONTEXT AND ALTERING ISAIAH
Matt. 1:23 – Mistakenly uses the Septuagint word for virgin instead of Hebrew “HaAlma”, the young woman. Matt. 1:23 – Misquotes Isaiah 7:14, “they” will call Jesus Immanuel, whereas Isaiah wrote “his mother” would call him Immanuel – not “they.” Jesus was not named Immanuel. Matt. 3:3 – Misinterprets and alters Isaiah 40:3 – “Prepare the way of the Lord.” Not so. Matt. 4:15 – Added “Galilee of the Gentiles” to Isaiah 9:1―2. Not in the Hebrew Tanakh (OT). Matt. 8:17 – Took Isaiah 53:4 out of context – Isaiah was relating to a leper (nagua). Matt. 12:17―21 – Taking Isaiah 42:1―4 out of context – the Servant was Israel four times. And then changes verse 21 to read: "and in his name shall the gentiles trust" (Isaiah 42.1―4). Matt. 13.14―15 – Took out of context Isaiah 6:9―10 of people being “blind”
MISQUOTING AND DISTORTING JEWISH PROPHETS
Matt. 2:5―6 – Misinterprets Micah 5:2 ― the Messiah coming from Bethlehem. It was David a Bethlemite, born in Bethlehem and from his seed would come the messiah. Matt. 2:15 –Taking Hosea 11:1 out of context, Jesus being called out of Egypt. It was Israel who was called out of Egypt. Matt. 2:17―18 – Distorts meaning of Jeremiah 31:1―17 of Rachel weeping. Rachel doesn’t weep for martyred children. Matt. 11.10 – By changing the pronoun in Malachi 3.1 “before ME” or “before YOU”? Matt. 13:35 – The Christ will speak in parables – distorting Psalm 78:2 Matt. 21:1―7 – Jesus riding on two donkeys at the same time – good trick ― (Zechariah 9:9) Matt. 22:43―44 – Capitalizes the second lord – altering the meaning of Psalm 110:1 There are no capital letters in Hebrew. Matt. 23:35 Mistakenly gave Zechariah’s father the wrong son. Zechariah was the son of Jehoiada, not Barachiah. II Chronicles 24:20――21 Matt. 27:9 – Quoted the wrong prophet ― was not Jeremiah but Zechariah Matt. 27:9 – Book of Zechariah was never about any “potter’s field”
Mathew wrote; “…from the blood of righteous Abel unto Zacharias, son of Barachias, whom you slew between the temple and the altar” (23:35). According to Tanakh, it was Zechariah (Zacharias) son of Jehoiada who was killed by the Temple (ll Chronicles 24:20―21). There is no evidence in the Hebrew bible or in any other writings that Zechariah the Prophet was murdered, let alone killed in the Temple. The First Temple had already been destroyed in Zechariah's time. CONTRADICTS OTHER GOSPELS
Matt 2.12 – Contradicts Luke about going to Egypt after Jesus’ birth. Matt 9:9 – Becoming one of the 12 conflicts with Luke and John. Matt 27:57-66 ― Disagrees with Mark, Luke and John at the “burial scene”
MAKING UP STORIES
Matt Chapter 2 not verified by any other writer and not logical Matt 2:16 – Got mixed up about Pharaoh & Herod’s Killing of the innocent babies (read the infanticide in Exodus 1:15―22 regarding Pharaoh being told of the Messiah) Matt 2:23 – Jesus dwelt in a city called Nazareth that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, he shall be called a Nazarene”. No prophet ever said this, the verse doesn’t exist. Matt 23:37 ― [thou] that killest the prophets. Which prophets did the Jewish people kill? Matt 27:51 ― And behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain – event never happened, there is zero record of this. Matt 27:52 ― The graves were opened and the dead went to Jerusalem – never happened, zero record of this. Matthew 9:9 ―The author wrote in the third person. This was unusual as no other author wrote that way. Makes one wonder if Matthew himself wrote this book.
Sure looks exactly like what the mormons do. Change the text...misquote...make stuff up...leave out half the verse....take out of context...all to shoe horn the man from Narareth into the Holy Tanach of G-d.
