Inerrant Lie #32

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

The anonymous writer of Hebrews tells a passel of fibs, which are likely-- for the most part, at least--the lies of others, faithfully retold by 'Anonymous.' Many are quite obviously Moses' lies, which the author claims to wholeheartedly (in hole- hearted fashion) believe in-- in spite of the overwhelming body of evidence extant that Moses was a pathological charlatan.

One such lie is found in the ninth chapter of this singular tome. In Hebrews 9:22, 'Anonymous' writes: "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission." When he refers to "the law," the 'unknown' author obviously means to indicate the Mosaic Law; though his 'indication' is actually an indictment.

In Ezekiel 18, we encounter the true way to remission of sins, which -- in a word-- is the first word uttered by Jesus of Nazareth, upon commencement of his public ministry: "Repent [Matthew 4:17c]." Ezekiel writes: "But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed [this is called 'repentance,' or 'penitence']... All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him [Ezekiel 18:21a & 22a & b]." "They shall not be mentioned unto him," describes-- in a word-- remission.

All this notwithstanding, 'Anonymous' tells on Moses' 'bloody' fallacies in at least two places, himself. In Hebrews 10:4 we read: "For it is not possible that the blood... should take away sins." Seven verses later, we likewise read that these same bloody "sacrifices... can never take away sins [Hebrews 10:11]." Is it a lie to faithfully repeat a lie in which one has believed? or is it 'simply' pathetic?
