Matthew -- Errors 127-133
#127
Matthew 26: (KJV)
64 “Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto
you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of
power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent
his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have
we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.”
The entire “trial” scene is bizarre. According to the Talmud
the Sanhedrin was prohibited from convening at night or on the eve of
holidays. The “conspirators” initially plan on avoiding dealing
with Jesus on Passover and end up dealing with Jesus on Passover. “Matthew”
can’t think of any reason why Judas would betray Jesus. In a time
of severely limited means of communication and transportation the entire
Sanhedrin assembles in a few hours except for the Pharisees, who are suddenly
no where to be found, even though they were the primary enemies of Jesus
before the “trial”. The Priests, who will have their busiest
time of the year during Passover, make the trial no problem. The perfectly
legitimate charge against Jesus that he created a disturbance in the Temple
is never made while a charge of blasphemy against God is made even though
Jesus never used the word “God”.

Matthew 27: (KJV)
9 “Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet,
saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that
was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; 10 And gave
them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me.”
No such direct quote from Jeremiah and you couldn’t even piece the
above together by sifting through all of Jeremiah.
#129
Matthew 27: (KJV)
15 “Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the
people a prisoner, whom they would.”
There is no evidence outside the Christian Bible that at the time being
described there was any annual tradition of releasing a prisoner at Passover.
#130
Matthew 27: (KJV)
25 “Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us,
and on our children.”
God damn liar. How could “all” the people make any single coherent
statement? None of Jesus’ disciples or supporters were present among
“all” the people? Christian commentators try to argue that the
statement is believable as there are examples of entire households being
held accountable for the actions of an individual in the Tanakh but the
Christians are unable to find a single example outside of the Christian
Bible where a group of Jews accepted blood responsibility and used the
phrase “and on our children” which implies a blanket responsibility
for all descendents.
#131
Matthew 27: (KJV)
27 “Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common
hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.”
The Greek word that has been translated above as “common hall”
should be translated as “praetorium”, which was the official
residence of a Roman governor. Every other major translation uses “praetorium”.
KJV has deceptively mistranslated to try and hide the error that there
was no praetorium in Jerusalem. Everyone agrees that the official residence
of Pilate was in Caesarea and no known author outside of the Christian
Bible, such as Josephus or Philo, ever refers to a praetorium in Jerusalem
for this time period.
#132
Matthew 27: (KJV)
37 “And set up over his head his accusation written, THIS IS JESUS
THE KING OF THE JEWS.”
There is no evidence whatsoever outside of the Christian Bible that the
charge against the crucified person was placed on the stake above them.
#133
Matthew 27: (KJV)
38 “Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the
right hand, and another on the left.”
Stealing was not a capital offense under Roman law. Also, according to
the rules of the Sanhedrin only one person could be judged per session.
As Shaggy would say, “Yikes!”.
1 Adam-12
Dispatcher:
1 Adam-12, 1 Adam-12, we have a 3 in 1 in progress. A Father is reporting
a missing son. Son's name is Jesus, alias "New Adam". No description
of the son is available. No one has seen the son in two thousand years.
No description of the Father is available as no one has ever seen the
Father except the Son. Only witness is the Holy Spirit which can not be
seen or heard. Please proceed immediately to the intersection of anywhere
and nowhere.
