Exo 12:6 and ye shall keep it unto the fourteenth day of the same month; and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at dusk.
Numbers 1:46 says that over 600,000 men and their women and children came forth from Egypt at the time of the Exodus. Exodus 12:6 says that the "whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will kill the lamb". The word translated as whole is "kol" meaning all. The word translated as "assembly" is qahal and it is the word for Church. Thus the passage says that more than 1,500,000 people saw the slaughter of a lamb at sundown. Assuming that the passage is accurate, how can that be. How could 1.5 million people come together in one place in ancient Egypt and witness this act of slaughter? The rabbim concluded that in the normal sense this could not happen. So what actually happened.
Let us assume, as does the Scripture, that G-d created all the souls that would ever be created in the beginning. Let us assume, as does the Scripture, that those souls were placed in the guf or well of souls. Let us assume, that those souls which were destined to be housed in Jewish people were aware of their future. Let us assume, that they were all present on that day when the first lamb was slaughtered. Is it possible for 1.5 million souls to be present? Certainly, and many more.
Exo 24:3 says: And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said: 'All the words which the Lord hath spoken will we do.'
The passage says that Moshe told "all the people" the ordinances of the Lord. The passage does not say that he told those people present the ordinances of the Lord. It does not say that he told those who came with him from Egypt the ordinances of the Lord. It says that Moshe told all the people, both the ones that came with him, the ones who were not yet born, the ones that stayed behind, all the people the ordinances of the Lord and they ALL agreed to obey those Mitzvot. Again, the only way that the "all" can be true is if every soul that would ever be Jewish was present at the Mountain.
The Seder suggests that all of us were present at the giving of the Torah, not just those alive.
Finally, Paul says, and he is only telling what the entire people theological opinion of the 23 sects said, "Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: ". Again, salvation for Israel is an all or nothing event.
The result of these passages is the doctrine of reincarnation. The Zohar, the Talmud, and the Scriptures presume that the souls of Jews will go through various incarnations constantly growing in knowledge and wisdom and tending toward that time when all Israel is perfect.
Christianity presumes that no one can get it right the first time. Even Enoch and Elijah, who never sinned as the wages sin is death, must not have gotten it right. Only if Jesus takes away their sins can people be saved. And yet, the words of Scripture disagree. They imply that we have several chances to get it right. The Zohar teaches that if we are born of side of Metatron we have seven times to get it right and if we are born of the side of the Holy Spirit, we have only six. The idea that no one can get it right is false. It is not based upon Scripture. The people who knew Jesus and were present at his resurrection did not believe that he died for our sins. They believed that we have to work at being saved. They believed in reincarnation.
Modern Christianity is based upon the false doctrine that man may only die once. That doctrine is not supported by science, scripture, dogma, or doctrine. It is a false premise. And with the fall of that premise, Paulinity crumbles.
The logical challenge that will follow is the doctrine of hell. What is it and what does the Scripture say about our life after death? That question must await another blog.
