If the Jewish religious leaders had ACCEPTED their messiah (SOME of them did obviously), Jesus would STILL HAVE TO BE the SIN OFFERING - otherwise there'd be NO CLEANISNG OF SIN. So the Romans would have had to murder Him without Jewish complicity.
And the whole point is that of course Jesus spoke correctly. But the Greek text does not reflect a statement that makes logical sense. Only in the Aramaic is the proper and original sense of the words shown to make sense. We Western Christians have been very well trained to twist into all sorts of pretzel shapes in order to make the non-sensical sayings of Jesus "make sense".Jesus knows exactly where He is from. He spoke the Universe into existence. I'm sure He is well aware of who He is and where the hypothetic union took place. He doesn't need any Aramaic or commas in a certain place. HE Is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
But I must admit it's an interesting thread.
that's where his flesh came from, but he himself came from Heaven. supportive scripture. John 8:21 "Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come." John 8:22 "Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come." John 8:23 "And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world."
