Eric, to be honest, I normally do not like your work because you often get squishy when it comes to the facts and doctrines. Just my opinion. This time, however, you pulled no punches!

Not that you need my approval, but on this topic we absolutely agree!!

In fact, I will offer you even more ammo from Jeremiah!

First from one of my own articles that was published in Illumination ... Why It's Not A Sin To Be Gay ... https://medium.com/illumination/why-its-not-a-sin-to-be-gay-86b3fdbe0f2d

GOD lays down the real Law, pun intended, about sacrifices not being something they ever commanded:

“I gave your ancestors no commands about burnt offerings or any other kinds of sacrifices when I brought them out of Egypt. But I did command them to obey me, so that I would be their God and they would be my people.” — GOD, Jeremiah 7:22–23 GNT

This in and of itself proves that the Law (Torah) was messed with. The GOD gets specific about this ... A few passages later, GOD cements the issue by saying,

“‘How can you [scribes, priests, elders] say, “We are wise, for we have the law [Torah] of the LORD,” when actually the lying pen of the scribes [elders, priests] has handled it falsely?’” — GOD, Jeremiah 8:8 NIV, [amplification supplied]

… the lying pen of the scribes, meaning the elders of the Temple, REWROTE the Law of God into a FALSEHOOD, with their LYING pens.

Great work, Eric. Nice to see we are on the same page!

Peace!
