Talk:Epistle to the Hebrews (view source)
Revision as of 00:19, November 26, 2012
, 00:19, November 26, 2012→"one plausible theory is that Jesus himself wrote or dictated it": @aschlafly
:Of course the authorship by Jesus is plausible -- [[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]] explains many reasons why.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 11:04, 24 November 2012 (EST)

::But the theory has some serious flaws:
::*We know of one instance of God's word directly given to a faithful scribe: the Ten Commandments. Even their physical representation was held in the highest regard (see [[Ark of the Covenant]]). One would expect any other word of the Lord - written in His Own Hand or via a scribe - to be treated similarly.
::*According to Aschlafly, Jesus Christ wrote the Epistle directly after His cruxification. What happened then? It was lost for twenty - forty years - how was it recognized?
::*Aschlafly cuts and pastes the parts of the epistle which he needs, discarding all the parts which don't fit in his narrative. That's similar to the behavior of any other activist abusing scripture to make his point (e.g., "Jesus was homosexual"). Aschlafly ignores that historically we only find this epistle in the current form.
::*Aschlafly yet hasn't answered to questions why the authors of the epistle use the first person to describe themselves, but talk about the Son of God in the third person - even in the part which Aschlafly accepts to be authentic. This indicates clearly that this epistle wasn't written by Jesus Christ!
