Why does Paul think Jesus is the Goat that takes away the sins of the whole world? ~ Cross reference of Romans 3:25 to Leviticus 16:15

Image
Paul seems to be the smartest of the lot who write the Greek texts. He gets closest to what Tanakh says is the sin offering for atoning for the people's sins. He quotes Leviticus 16 which is in fact the only place in Tanakh that talks about how Israel' s deliberate sins will be atoned for. This does not apply for all nations. Sad part is the goat that atones for the sins of the people is the Azazel[the one that is sent way and dropped off a cliff] and not the the goat that is sacrificed on the altar.

Vicarious Atonement is not taught in Tanakh

Exodus 32:32  But now, if you will only forgive their sin - but if not, blot me out of the book that you have written. 33 But the L-rd said to Moses, " Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book." Deuteronomy 24:16 Parents are not to be put to death for their children , nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. 2 Kings 14:6 Yet he did not put the children of the assassins to death, in accordance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses where the Lord commanded: “ Parents are not to be put to death for their children , nor children put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin. ” Jeremiah 31:30 Instead, everyone will die for their own sin ; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth will be set on edge. Ezekiel 3:20 “Again, when a righteous person turns from their righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before them, they will di e . Since you did not warn Ezekiel 18:1  The word o...

Jesus entry into Jerusalem ~ Cross reference of John 12:12 to Psalm 118:26

Image
I don't think I have much to add here as this is the 4th gospel that records Jesus's entry into Jerusalem. This is very important for the Christian as they think this establishes the crucial link of Jesus to what Zachariah 9:9 prophesied. Like all the other 3 gospels, John also cross references Psalm 118:26 to say what the people will say when Jesus enters Jerusalem. A few points to call out are In the previous 3 gospels, the people shout out "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!" when Jesus rides on the donkey(s) while in John, they start cheering him even before he sits on the donkey.[I guess they continued to cheer even after he got onto the donkey] Jesus finds a donkey on him own and does not have ask his disciples to get him one or two donkeys [depends on which gospel you read] you so he can fulfill what Zechariah said. John explains that except Jesus no one know about the Zechariah's prophecy [messiah will make a triumphant entry into Jerusalem]....
