According to Luke Jesus was defiled when he was born and needed purification?





And when the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (Luke 2:22)

----------------------------------

interesting,  not only was Mary defiled after giving birth, but both Joseph and Jesus were also defiled and needed purification.

Notice how it says “THEIR PURIFICATION”, the oldest and majority of the manuscripts have (AUTON) THEIR, whereas the later Manuscripts says (AUTES) "HER" scribes were deliberately fixing this problem how can Jesus be defiled so they changed the words, from AUTON to AUTES...

So how is this purification done? Well the answer is found in the book of Leviticus, let's read what it says

6 “‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering. 7 He shall offer them before the Lord to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood. (Leviticus 12:6-7)

------------------------------------

Notice from the above passage how the mother has to take the child to the priest, make a burnt offering of a lamb and pigeon making it into a SIN OFFERING. Verses 7 tells us the priest will offer them “BEFORE THE LORD TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR HER”. The mother of Jesus had to be purified alongside her son Jesus, she had to be ATONED for having Jesus.

We are also told in Luke 2:22, Jesus was brought to Jerusalem and presented to the LORD. Wait a tick, isn’t Jesus lord according to Christians???


Another blow on Christians for claiming Jesus was sinless and pure, even scribes had problem with this, but not conceal the fact. This concludes Jesus was a man and not God like those evil people claim him to be...


How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure? (Job 25:4)
