Generation means race Exo 12:14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
Exo 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant. Deu 32:4-5 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
Genesis 10:32 These [are] the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.God geographically divided the races Genesis 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.There were twelve sons and grandsons of Jacob, each of whose descendants are a distinct and separate race, who are heirs to the everlasting covenant Genesis 25:12 Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: There were 12 princes of Arabia, each of whose descendants were a distinct and separate race of Arabs.
JESUS CALLS THE JEWS A RACE OF VIPERS Mat 23:33-36 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zechariah son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.Mat 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Mat 12:33-34 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.Luk 3:7-8 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
We can prove what "generation" means with the following verse:
Did Peter make this up--or did he quote the "old" testament"?
Since "generation" refers to Israelites all the way from the time of Moses to the time of Jesus, could Peter possibly have been referring to only ONE "generation" of israelites? Of course not. This is a reference to the entire RACE of Israelites, and in particular the race of the House of Israel. True to form, for the express purpose of deceiving weak minded judeochristians, the KJV took this very SAME Greek word "genos" [Strong's #1085] and "translated" it as "stock" in the following verse, proving once and for all the genetic context of this word:
Unless you make the connection between 1 Peter 2:9 and Acts 13:26, you might easily be deceived into believing that "genos" means only one generation of Israelites, rather than the entire RACE of Israelites, or "stock of Abraham".
Ditto for the Greek word "genea" [Strong's #1074] from which both "generation" AND "nation" are translated in the following verses--both of which are obviously wrong:
So let's use the PROPER translation to see how they look:
That makes perfect sense, particularly when put into context with what Jesus called the evil SCUMBAG Edomite jews:
Jesus didn't condemn just one GENERATION of jews--He condemned the entire RACE!
> If what Weiland is implying were true, the Messiah would be condemning the entire race of Israelites (including Himself, His family, the Apostles, Disciples, etc.) in speaking of them as a generation, for the word generation, used in this passage, is #1074, and in the Greek means race according to The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament by Spiros Zodhiates, page 362: ... a race; then generally in the sense of affinity of communion based upon the sameness of stock. Race or posterity ... A descent or genealogical line of ancestors or descendants... The Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament by Joseph Henry Thayer agrees, page 112: ... a begetting, birth, nativity ... passively, that which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family ... the several ranks in a natural descent, the successive members of a genealogy ... metaphor, a race of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits, character; and especially in a bad sense a pervers! e race... It would appear that maybe Weiland should have checked his Greek before he made such a spurious statement. Therefore, the only conceivable meaning this passage could convey is: the Pharisees were the genea of Cain. Yahshua plainly told the Jewish Pharisees, John 10:26, ... ye are not my sheep... There is nothing more blasphemous than to imply that Yahshua the Messiah was a racial brother to the Jews!

This will be #3. If you dont have numbers #1 & #2, you may want to get copies in order to bring yourself up-to-date on this present one. How many more there will be in this series has not yet been determined. Again, it cannot be overstated; we are in a 7,000 plus year-old WAR. In this paper we will continue to point out what this WAR is all about and who the opposing forces are. In the last paper, we left off with Colossians 2:15 showing how Yahshua put the Satanic-Jew-seedline to an open shame and stripped them of their authority. With this endeavor, we will start with Luke 11:49-51. We will use this passage rather than Matthew 23:34-36, for there are problems with Matthews version. Now reading from Luke: > > 49 Therefore also said the wisdom of Yahweh, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: 50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required (�6.0JXT, to demand an account of) of this generation [#1074, genea]; 51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation [#1074, genea]. > > Here, Messiah is charging the Jews with the murder of Abel. It would have been criminally illegal on the part of Yahshua to make such a charge if it were not true. The only way He could legally have produced such a serious charge was if the Jews of His day were descended from Cain, for no other person in all of history was responsible for the murder of Abel, but Cain. Most anti-seedliners are strangely quiet on this passage, although Ted R. Weiland in his booklet Eve, Did She Or Didnt She? Erroneously tries to prove the scribes and Pharisees were true Israelites [on page 68] where he makes the following statement: > > Seedliners claim that because the Pharisees and their progenitors were charged with the murders of all the righteous from Abel to Zacharias, they cannot be Israelites but instead must be Cainites of the seed of Satan. The truth is that because the Pharisees and their forefathers were indicted for the murder of the righteous martyrs, they cannot be Cainites but instead must be Israelites > > Weiland further states on page 94: The seedliners teach that the Pharisees were Cainites of the seedline of Satan, whereas Matthew 3:7-8, 27:6-10, John 7:19, 8:28-37, Acts 4:5-10, 24-35 and 7:2-52 declare that the Pharisees were Judahites of seed line of Jacob/Israel. > > If what Weiland is implying were true, the Messiah would be condemning the entire race of Israelites (including Himself, His family, the Apostles, Disciples, etc.) in speaking of them as a generation, for the word generation, used in this passage, is #1074, and in the Greek means race according to The Complete Word Study Dictionary New Testament by Spiros Zodhiates, page 362: ... a race; then generally in the sense of affinity of communion based upon the sameness of stock. Race or posterity ... A descent or genealogical line of ancestors or descendants... The Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament by Joseph Henry Thayer agrees, page 112: ... a begetting, birth, nativity ... passively, that which has been begotten, men of the same stock, a family ... the several ranks in a natural descent, the successive members of a genealogy ... metaphor, a race of men very like each other in endowments, pursuits, character; and especially in a bad sense a pervers! e race... It would appear that maybe Weiland should have checked his Greek before he made such a spurious statement. Therefore, the only conceivable meaning this passage could convey is: the Pharisees were the genea of Cain. Yahshua plainly told the Jewish Pharisees, John 10:26, ... ye are not my sheep... There is nothing more blasphemous than to imply that Yahshua the Messiah was a racial brother to the Jews! > > Evidently, Ted R. Weiland never read Josephus, Wars 2:8:2. Josephus makes it quite clear the Pharisees and Sadducees were not Israelites by birth. Lets now read this passage: > > For there are three philosophical sects among the Jews. The followers of the first of whom are the Pharisees; of the second the Sadducees; and the third sect, who pretends to a severer discipline, are called Essens. These last are Jews [Judah] by birth, and seem to have a greater affection for one another than the other sects have. > > It would appear from this that of these three mentioned, only the Essenes could claim to be pure blooded Israelites; that many, perhaps a majority of the Pharisees and Sadducees were neither true Israelites nor of the true Tribe of Judah. Why didnt Josephus mention the Pharisees and Sadducees as being Jews by birth? I know that in John 8:33 & 37, it appears from the rendering, that the scribes and Pharisees might be true Israelites. Sure, the Arabs can claim Abraham as their father. We know, also, that the Jews of Messiahs day had absorbed Edomite blood, and therefore could claim both Abraham and Isaac as their fathers. The Shelanite-Judahites could even claim an affinity with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Judah, but that doesnt make them of the true Tribe of Judah. Recent archaeological finds are showing evidence two of Esaus wives were, more than likely, of the Cain-Satinic-seedline. Even Howard B. Rand in his book Primo-genesis, plate 11, at the end of! his book, shows Pharaohs Ramesses I & II of Egypt being descended from the House of Esau through Eliphaz. > > As was indicated at the start of this third paper, there are problems with Matthew 23:34-35, a parallel of Luke 11:49-51, quoted above. In these passages, we are being told that (1) The Almighty would send apostles and prophets (future tense), (2) That there had been scribes and prophets sent in the past, (3) These past scribes and prophets were all the way from, and including, Abel, to Zacharias, and, (4) That this race of Cain was in times past, and throughout the future, responsible for their deaths. If you will read these passages very carefully, you will notice Abel was the first righteous prophet. The next thing, which should be noticed, is the fact that Luke does not mention Zacharias father. From research, it seems to appear that someone added the words son of Barachias in Matthew 23:35. If this is the case, it has caused a lot of confusion. Quoting now from A Commentary on The Holy Bible, edited by Rev. J. R. Dummelow M.A., page 701: > > Zacharias son of Barachias] Jesus probably said Zachariah, as in St. Luke, without mentioning the fathers name, but the evangelist or one of the earliest copyists, who thought it necessary to distinguish among the twenty-nine Zachariahs of the Old Testament, and understood the canonical prophet to be meant, added the words son of Barachias There can be no real doubt that the person meant is Zechariah, son of Jehoiada (see 2 Chr. 24:20), concerning whom there was a Jewish tradition, that his blood could not be removed by washing, but remained bubbling on the ground where it had been shed. In the Jewish* arrangement of the books of the sacred Canon, Chronicles stands last, so that Jesus chose His examples from the first and last books of the Jewish* Bible. [*It should be Hebrew, not Jewish Bible.] > > The story told here can be found in many reference books. The account might even have a thread of truth. The problem here is: it doesnt square with the rest of Scripture. While the story about the Zechariah of 2 Chronicles 24:20 is undoubtedly true, it is probably the wrong Zechariah. No doubt, some copyist did insert son of Barachias, for it is not found in Luke. The problem is: most of the recorded prophets were after 878 B.C. when this particular Zechariah lived. In other words, if Yahshua was talking about the prophets between Abel and the Zechariah of 2 Chronicles 24:20, it would exclude most of the major and Minor Prophets. If you will check the dates in which most of the major and Minor Prophets lived, you will see what I mean. I am sure the Cain-Satanic-seedline killed most of Yahwehs prophets after 878 B.C. Its like saying that the WAR started with the killing of Abel and continued to the Zechariah of 2 Chronicles 24:20; then subsided until the ti! me of Yahshua, and then resumed. This WAR has been continuous ever since it started in Genesis 3:15! > > Another Zechariah to be cited is the Zechariah mentioned by several commentaries and reference books, who lived about 40 years after the Messiah. This one can be found in Josephus Wars 4:5:4. The only one left that really makes any sense is the death of Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, found in The Protevangelion of The Lost Books Of The Bible And The Forgotten Books Of Eden, 16:9-21, page 36: > > 9 But Herod made search after John, and sent servants to Zacharias, when he was (ministering) at the altar, and said unto him, Where hast thou hid thy son? 10 He replied to them, I am a minister of God [Yahweh], and a servant at the altar; how should I know where my son is? 11 So the servants went back, and told Herod the whole; at which he was incensed, and said, Is not this son of his like to be king in Israel? 12 He sent therefore again his servants to Zacharias, saying, Tell us the truth, where is thy son, for you know that your life is in my hand. 13 So the servants went and told him all this: 14 But Zacharias replied to them, I am a martyr for God [Yahweh], and if he shed my blood, the Lord [Yahweh] will receive my soul. 15 Besides know that ye shed innocent blood. 16 However Zacharias was murdered in the entrance of the temple and altar, and about the partition; 17 But the children of Israel knew not when he was killed. 18 Then at the hour of salutation! the priests went into the temple, but Zacharias did not according to custom meet them and bless them; 19 Yet they still continued waiting for him to salute them; 20 And when they found he did not in a long time come, one of them ventured into the holy place where the altar was, and he saw blood lying upon the ground congealed; 21 When, behold, a voice from heaven said, Zacharias is murdered and his blood shall not be wiped away until the revenger of his blood come ... > > You can plainly see here the description of Zacharias death at the hand of Herod fits Luke 11:47-51 and Matthew 23:34-36 quite well. More importantly, it doesnt leave any huge gaps in history from Abel to this Zacharias. Also, with the future tense, it covers the entire time period from Yahshua up until our present time. There have been no time-outs in this WAR. For evidence that it is a genetic race war between the children of darkness and the children of light, I will quote the Believers Bible Commentary by William MacDonald on Matthew 23:36, page 1291; also, from page 1416 concerning Luke 11:50-51. While MacDonald doesnt grasp the Jew question, he understands it is a matter of race: > > The guilt of all the past would come on the generation or race to which Christ [Yahshua] was speaking, as if all previous shedding of innocent blood somehow combined and climaxed in the death of the sinless Savior. A torrent of punishment would be poured out on the nation that hated its Messiah without a cause and nailed Him to a criminals cross. He would require of that generation the blood of all Gods [Yahwehs] spokesmen, beginning with the first recorded case in the Old Testament, that of Abel, down to the last instance, that of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the temple ... Therefore the Lord Jesus [Yahshua] ran the entire gamut of martyrs when He mentioned Abel and Zechariah. As He uttered these words, He well knew that the generation then living would put Him to death on the cross, and thus bring to an awful climax all their previous persecution of men of God [Yahweh]. > > It was not at the cross that Messiah imposed revenge for all the prophets from Abel up until His time, but at the siege of Titus at Jerusalem in 70 A.D. For insight on this, I will quote from the Adam Clarkes Commentary On The Bible, abridged by Ralph Earle, pages 816 and 874. Again, these are comments on the passages; Luke 11:47-51 and Matthew 23:34-36: > > The Lord [Yahshua] would, after the crucifixion of Christ [Yahshua], visit upon them the murder of all those righteous men, that their state should grow worse and worse, till at last the Temple should be destroyed, and they [were] finally ruined by the Romans. Required. May be translated either by the word visited or revenged, and the latter word evidently conveys the meaning of our Lord [Yahshua]. They are here represented as having the blood among them; and it is intimated that God [Yahweh] will come by and by to require it, and to inquire how it was shed, and to punish those who shed it. > > If you dont understand Two Seedline, you cant grasp the meaning of all that was going on at that particular time. Now a comment from The Wycliffe Bible Commentary concerning Matthew 23:34 on page 971: These persecutions here foretold would fill up the measure of the Jews guilt, so that divine destruction would come upon that generation [race of Cain] of the nation. > > The Matthew Henrys Commentary on Luke 11:49-51 found in volume 5, page 704: > > That they must expect no other than to be reckoned with, as the fillers up of the measure of persecution, v. 50, 51. They keep up the trade as it were in succession, and therefore are responsible for the debts of the company, even those it has been contracting all along from the blood of Abel, when the world began, to that of Zacharias, and so forward to the end of the Jewish state; it shall all be required of this generation [race], this last generation of the Jews, whose sin in persecuting Christs apostles would exceed any of the sins of that kind that their fathers were guilty of, and so would bring wrath upon them to the uttermost, I Thess. 2:15, 16. Their destruction by the Romans was so terrible that it might well be reckoned the completing of Gods [Yahwehs] vengeance upon that persecuting nation ... They are reproved for opposing the gospel of Christ [Yahshua], and doing all they could to obstruct the progress and success of it, v. 52 ... They had no! t, according to the duty of their place, faithfully expounded to the people those scriptures of the Old Testament which pointed at the Messiah, which if they had been led into the right understanding of by the lawyers, they would readily have embraced him and his doctrine: but instead of that, they had perverted those texts, and had cast a mist before the eyes of the people, by their corrupt glosses upon them, and this is called taking away the key of knowledge; instead of using that key for the people, and helping them to use it aright, they hid it from them; this is called, in Matthew, shutting up the kingdom of heaven against men, Matt. 23:13. > > From Matthew Pooles Commentary On The Holy Bible we get this on Luke 11:51, volume 3, page 232: > > The Pharisees, like a company of wretched hypocrites, under a pretence of their honouring the memories of the prophets under the Old Testament, took great care to repair and to adorn their sepulchers, while in the mean time their hearts were as full of malice against the truth, and against Christ [Yahshua], and those who came to reveal Gods [Yahwehs] will to them, as ever were their fathers against the prophets; and, saith our Savior, I who am the Wisdom of God, tell you, that I shall send you apostles and prophets, and some of them you shall kill, others you shall persecute; that all the righteous blood that hath been shed on the earth, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, may come on you... > > You will notice there is some question as to who the correct Zacharias of Luke 11:51 and Matthew 23:35 is, but there is absolutely no question from these references just quoted as to who was Abels killer. As you can plainly see, the anti-seedliners have a problem with Luke 11:47-51 & Matthew 23:34-36, and they refuse to address it! > > AS THE SERPENT BEGUILED EVE > > The next passage we are going to consider is 2 Corinthians 11:2-3: ... for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Yahshua. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Yahshua. > > The anti-seedliners really like to jump on this one and proclaim its all a matter of mental seduction. It would appear that before Satan seduced Eve, she was a chaste virgin according to this passage. Was Eve then a chaste virgin physically? or a chaste virgin mentally? It should be obvious that Paul is telling the Corinthians that he desired their minds not to be violated as Eve was physically violated. Why even use the term chaste virgin if Eve was not violated physically? Notice that Paul tells these Corinthians he had espoused them to one husband. He is saying that he would rather not have them to become espoused to an additional husband as Eve was. In other words, I have espoused you to one husband ... not as Eve. Paul was simply implying that Eve, after her encounter with Satan, was no longer a chaste virgin. > > THE GREEK PROVES EVE WAS BEGUILED MENTALLY & PHYSICALLY > > The anti-seedliners simply havent done their homework on the Greek in this passage. If it were speaking of being mentally beguiled by words, it would have used the word #538, apatao, meaning to deceive, bring, seduce or mislead into error. Or, if Paul would have meant mental seduction, he probably would have used #5422 or #5423 as in Galatians 6:3 & Titus 1:10. Instead the word #1818, exapatao, is used. W. E. Vine in his An Expository Dictionary Of New Testament Words, page 112, explains it like this: exapatao is a strengthened form of apatao ... is rendered beguile, 2 Cor. 11:3; the more adequate rendering would be as the serpent thoroughly beguiled Eve. So in 1 Tim. 2:14, in the best mss. this stronger form is used of Satans deception of Eve, literally thoroughly beguiled; the simpler verb apatao, is used of Adam. If a mental seduction were meant, the word #538, apatao, would have been used. W. E. Vine repeats his explanation of the use of the G! reek words apatao and exapatao on pages 278 & 279 under the word deceive. Under the heading verbs, on the word apatao he says this: ... of those who deceive with empty words, belittling the true character of the sins mentioned, Eph. 5:6; ... of the fact that Adam was not beguiled, 1 Tim. 2:14, R.V. (cp. what is said of Eve; see exapatao below... Then Vine continues: EXAPATAO ... intensive ... signifies to beguile thoroughly, to deceive wholly... Thayer in his Greek Lexicon and Dr. Spiros Zodhiates in his Word Study Dictionary N.T. agree with W. E. Vine. > > ANTI-SEEDLINER ADDRESSES 2 CORINTHIANS 11:3 > > Most anti-seedliners avoid this passage with a twenty-foot pole, but, in his booklet Eve, Did She Or Didnt She? Ted R. Weiland takes a blind stab in the dark at 2 Corinthians 11:3. First, I would mention that Weiland does not point out the difference between apatao and exapatao as has been explained by W. E. Vine above. Without such an explanation, one can see how Weiland might drift into a dangerous state of error. As I quote Weiland now on pages 28-29, you can perceive his careless, or maybe blatant, omission: > > Just as they misconstrue the Hebrew word, the seedliners distort the meaning of the Greek word exapatao, translated beguiled, to mean sexual seduction in 2 Corinthians 11:3. Exapatao is found six times in the New Testament; it is translated beguiled once and deceived five times. As was the case with its Hebrew counterpart nasha, the Greek word exapataho [sic] is not once used with sexual connotations. > > If exapatao means to sexually seduce, as seedline teachers claim, then in Romans 7:11 the Apostle Paul declared that sin sexually seduced him. In Romans 16:17-18 Paul warned the Roman church lest divisive false teachers sexually seduced them, and in 1 Corinthians 3:18 Paul warned the Corinthian Christians not to sexually seduce themselves. Consequently, there is nothing in the biblical use of either nasha or exapatao to corroborate, justify or validate the seedliners interpretation of these two words. > > If the serpent corresponds to Satan, and the beguiling in Genesis 3 and 2 Corinthians 11 was sexual in nature, then the Apostle Paul was warning the Corinthian Christians against Satans intention to fornicate with them. If such were the case, then why did not the other New Testament writers or Yahshua warn of the possibility? Why? Because fornication was not the sin in Genesis 3, and it was not the sin Paul warned the Corinthian Church about. > > Again, if Paul would have meant mental seduction, he probably would have used #5422 or #5423 as in Galatians 6:3 & Titus 1:10. Weiland doesnt seem to understand the Bible, both OT & NT, uses vulgarities. The prophets called both Israel and Judah harlots and whores. The prophets really used some very graphic language at times, and Paul was no different. I would rather not have to explain to a fully-grown man about the birds and the bees! Yes, Paul did compare being deceived to non-marital sexual intercourse! We do the same thing today. In order to explain, I will illustrate with some modern-day vulgarities similar to the prophets of old. When a man today gets cheated in a business deal, he might say something like this: That bastard screwed me out of 100 dollars or I really got shafted on that one. I think you get the point, and I would rather not elaborate any further. Yes, Paul was telling the Romans in 7:11 that his own sin (comparable to n! on-marital sexual intercourse) could destroy him. Yes, Paul was telling the Romans in 16:17-18 that false teachers (comparable to non-marital sexual intercourse) could corrupt them. Yes, Paul was telling the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 3:18 that their own self-conceited wisdom (comparable to non-marital sexual intercourse) could mislead them. And, Yes, Paul was telling the Corinthian Christians in 2 Corinthians 11:3 that they could be mentally beguiled as Eve was literally mentally and physically sexually beguiled. My own advice is: be careful of people who use word trickery! The object is to set you up on one word, and then clout you with five or six reverse meaning examples. The Jews are masters at this sort of thing! Carefully go back over the quotation by Weiland and see if he might have been setting us up. You might start with If exapatao means... If you have his book, you might check to see if he may have used that same system in other places. Watch for the setu! p followed by several seemingly absurd examples! The con artist might approach you something like this: If this means this, look how absurd this, and this, and this, and this, and this is. Once you become aware of this devious system, you can no longer be deceived into believing darkness is light and bitter is sweet! > > The Adam Clarkes Commentary on the Bible, abridged by Ralph Earle, has this to say about this passage, 2 Corinthians 11:2-3, on page 1147: > > That I may present you as a chaste virgin. There seems to be a reference to Lev. 21:14, that the high priest must not marry anyone that was not a pure virgin. Here then Christ [Yahshua] is the High Priest, the Spouse or Husband; the Corinthian church, the pure virgin to be espoused; the apostle and his helpers had educated and prepared this virgin for her husband and espoused her to him. ... As the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty. This is a strong reflection on the false apostle and his teaching. He was subtle, and by his subtlety he was enabled to corrupt the minds of the people from the simplicity of the gospel of Christ [Yahshua]; or, to follow the metaphor, he had seduced the pure, chaste, well-educated virgin from her duty, affection, and allegiance to her one and only true Husband, the High Priest, Jesus Christ [Yahshua].
