Inerrant Lie #18

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

The unknown writer of Hebrews writes: "Though [Jesus of Nazareth] were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered [crucifixion being one such]; And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey [Hebrews 5:8 & 9]."

In Hebrews 4:15, the same anonymous author writes of Jesus of Nazareth that he "...was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin." If this latter word (which precedes the former, in situ) were true, Jesus wasn't learning obedience (as is asserted in Hebrews 5:8); but rather teaching the same; and Hebrews 5:8 is a lie.

The writer of Hebrews also alleges the suffering (Crucifixion included) inflicted on Jesus was instrumental in making Jesus perfect. Was anyone “made perfect (Hebrews 5:9)” by the things Jesus suffered? Isaiah wrote (presumably of Jesus’ sufferings before Jesus was born), “...with his stripes we are healed [Isaiah 53:5].” But where's the healing when those whose suffering is inflicted on another think the one being afflicted with their own suffering is the one responsible for learning something from the corrective experience?

The apostle Luke says Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children [Luke 23:28]” on the day of his crucifixion. Is that the voice of salvation?
