So this version is claiming that the old testament prophecy is untrue. Even the events of things which mirror the coming messiah. Ill have to read this version to better understand whats being said. But for now, im seeing red flags on the things this man is claiming.

"Jesus didn't die for our sins, he died because of our sins." This statement is haunting yet it rings so true for me. It took me many, many years on my spiritual journey for me to come to a place of personal understanding that what we've been told for ages about God sending Jesus as a sacrifice for humanity just isn't true. You can believe it if you wish. The trouble is then you must believe other fallacies about God. The Source never needed a "sacrifice for sins". We killed him...in many ways.

A lot of problems with transliteration as opposed to translation...trying to go or translate from a written word..like Hebrew or rather Aramaic..as in the earliest Aramaic writings to spoken English or anything else and we have to allow for that margin..And then to Western inference or extrapolation...but it would take a highly philosophical or intellectual person to hear this age old dilemma.
