Incorrect, Greenspan does not own the university of Arizona that conducted research on the Cohen gene years prior to Greenspan starting his company

No, he doesn't. But his company has been directly involved with UA and other organizations in studying the issue. He does own the company. And while UA might have done a study years before Greenspan, that doesn't mean it was the only study or that studies are not still continuing. A was also study conducted under the direction of Dr Karl Skorecki at the University of Toronto in conjunction with the Rambam Technion Medical Center in Haifa. But even that was in the late 90's. And if you actually read the link you provided, it says that Greenspan initially partnered with UA in testing analysis.

Greenspan's companies now have the largest database of Y chromosome testing, at least as of 2017. Anyone who is going to do research on the issue must gain access to that database at some point. So by extension, any study is going to include one or all of the 4 affiliated DNA companies that are under the control and direction of Greenspan.

I forget the nature of the sacrifices. there will be no lamb and bullock and sin offerings, but I do nto remember the rest. It has been a while since I studied up on those.

The context of this passage is after the Lord has brough them back from all the nations and the nations will have full knowledge of Yahweh as described in the preceding chapter to this one.....

Ezekiel 40:38-43 (NKJV) There was a chamber and its entrance by the gateposts of the gateway, where they washed the burnt offering. 39 In the vestibule of the gateway were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. 40 At the outer side of the vestibule, as one goes up to the entrance of the northern gateway, were two tables; and on the other side of the vestibule of the gateway were two tables. 41 Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gateway, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices. 42 There were also four tables of hewn stone for the burnt offering, one cubit and a half long, one cubit and a half wide, and one cubit high; on these they laid the instruments with which they slaughtered the burnt offering and the sacrifice. 43 Inside were hooks, a handbreadth wide, fastened all around; and the flesh of the sacrifices was on the tables.

Because Circumcision was required!

Yes, it certainly was, required of both Jew and Gentile, to demonstrate and confirm that God was extending His Covenant to both Jew and Gentile alike.

And yes DNA is THE criterion!

Do you consider Genesis 17:12 to be an error?

Teh covenant was made to Abraham, reconfirmed with Isaac and His seed forever and then through Jacob and his seed forever.

The covenant was made to Abraham and Christ, and fulfilled in Christ and those who are in Christ.

Galatians 3
16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The land is for the descendants of Abraham , Isaac and Jacob only! The stranger had no right to land in Israel.

The land was for Israel's Jews and Gentiles alike, and was fulfilled in Joshua's day.

Joshua 21
43 And the Lord gave unto Israel all the land which he sware to give unto their fathers; and they possessed it, and dwelt therein.
44 And the Lord gave them rest round about, according to all that he sware unto their fathers: and there stood not a man of all their enemies before them; the Lord delivered all their enemies into their hand.
45 There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass.

The stranger had every right that “one born in the land” had.

Exodus 12:48
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Leviticus 19:34
But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 24:22
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God.
Numbers 15:16
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

circumcision is not the sign- as other nations circumcised. But circumcision on the eighth day which was reserved only for the Jew! NOt the gentile with them.

Do you consider Genesis 17:12 to be an error?

In God's New Will and Testament, all covenants and promises are fulfilled in Christ and those who are in Christ.

The OT covenants and promises are the promissory clauses of God's Old Will and Testament, and they are both revoked and fulfilled in the promissory clauses of His New Will and Testament, written in the Blood of His Son Jesus Christ, the Divine Testator, coming into full force and effect upon His death.

If you have made your own Will and Testament, you will see that the very first clause states the following or its equivalent:

"I HEREBY REVOKE all former Wills and other testamentary dispositions by me at any time therefore made and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament."

This means that all former wills and testaments, and all of their promissory clauses in their entirety, are completely null and void. In their place, the promissory clauses of the current last new will and testament are the only ones in force and effect. Any promissory clause which appeared in the old will and testament, but does not appear in the new will and testament, is irrevocably null and void unless yet another new will and testament is made which re-includes it.

Thus we see:

Hebrews 9
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

Hebrews 10
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

Hebrews 8
13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

God`s New Will and Testament is everlasting:

Hebrews 13
20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.

There is none greater.

We see other new promissory clauses of the New Will and Testament in:

Matthew 21:33-45
In this parable, the son, who is identified as the heir, typifies Christ.

Galatians 3:16
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.

Hebrews 1:1,2
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

In them, we see that the Heir and Beneficiary is Christ alone, that all of the promises are affirmed and confirmed in Him, and that He is Heir of all things. All includes the OT land promises, the restoration promises, the blessings promises, and all else. There are no exceptions.

And His New Will and Testament contains even better promises:

Hebrews 8
6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Such as:

Hebrews 11
16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

Additional promissory clauses in...:

Romans 8:16-17
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

...make us who are in Christ joint heirs with Him.

But notice:
There are no promissory clauses for anyone, Jew or Gentile, who is not in Christ.

Yes, it certainly was, required of both Jew and Gentile, to demonstrate and confirm that God was extending His Covenant to both Jew and Gentile alike.

That is opinion and not Bible. You are reading the provisions of the Church back into the OT and that is wrong!

Do you consider Genesis 17:12 to be an error?

Non _Jews were never called Jews but proselytes. In Israel they did not have the same privileges as the seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob did. They could not enter the court of the Jews in the temple, they could only enter the court of the gentiles.

No one is discounting that gentiles were blessed, but they were not the seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob which made a Jew a Jew!
Genesis 17:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed.

In God's New Will and Testament, all covenants and promises are fulfilled in Christ and those who are in Christ.

The OT covenants and promises are the promissory clauses of God's Old Will and Testament, and they are both revoked and fulfilled in the promissory clauses of His New Will and Testament, written in the Blood of His Son Jesus Christ, the Divine Testator, coming into full force and effect upon His death.

If you have made your own Will and Testament, you will see that the very first clause states the following or its equivalent:

"I HEREBY REVOKE all former Wills and other testamentary dispositions by me at any time therefore made and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament."

You are just wrong! Only the Mosaic covenant has been voided. That is clear in Jeremiah! For the Mosaic covenant was the only conditional covenant God made with Israel. The rest will be fullfilled just like Israel back in their land today is a fulfillment of prophesy!

Galatians 3:
4 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

In them, we see that the Heir and Beneficiary is Christ alone, that all of the promises are affirmed and confirmed in Him, and that He is Heir of all things. All includes the OT land promises, the restoration promises, the blessings promises, and all else. There are no exceptions.

And He will fulfill them to the people God promised to fulfill them to. Just because Israel could not keep the Mosaic covenant, does not mean that God revoked the land, the davidic covenant to Israel. The new covenant replaces the Mosaic covenant not the David and Palestinian covenant.

Even the NT reaffirms that.

Exodus 12:48
And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Leviticus 19:34
But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Leviticus 24:22
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God.
Numbers 15:16
One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

But they were still restricted from all the benefits of being the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. they had no inheritance in the land, they could not go past the court of the gentiles, amongst others.

Galatians 3:29
And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

...make us who are in Christ joint heirs with Him.

But notice:
There are no promissory clauses for anyone, Jew or Gentile, who is not in Christ.

Well in the church age I agree!

But for teh millenial kingdom, all the prophesies concerning Israel ruling the world under Jesus will be fulfilled and gentiles will have to go to Jerusaslem once a year with an offering or their lands will suffer a drought! Their are hundreds of promises in the OT God said He will cause to happen and they will.

We are not talking salvation or the eternal order but the order of the millenial kingdom! Israel is the worlds physical ruler, Jesus and the church reign over all.

IN eternity-- who knows- Jesus returns all things back to teh Father submits to the father and eternity happens!

I do not think so . The narrative begins in Ez. 40 vse1 (It speaks of when the angel appeared) and goes through chptr 48.

Ezekiel wrote this after the first temple was destroyed and this is the vision of the rebuilt temple!

Under the Scriptural and legal definition of a testament, a new testament completely transcends an old testament. Your attempt to do the reverse is both a Scriptural and legal invalidity.

In Israel they did not have the same privileges as the seed of Abraham Isaac and Jacob did.

The Scriptures I cited disagree.

They could not enter the court of the Jews in the temple, they could only enter the court of the gentiles.

Scripture?

All of the promises are fulfilled in Christ, who is the Heir of all things. (2 Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 1:1,2).

And He will fulfill them to the people God promised to fulfill them to. Just because Israel could not keep the Mosaic covenant, does not mean that God revoked the land, the davidic covenant to Israel. The new covenant replaces the Mosaic covenant not the David and Palestinian covenant.

Even the NT reaffirms that.

There is no covenant, and there are no promises, for anyone outside of Christ.

The NT affirms that.

I agree! But it was one covenant and that was the Mosaic Covenant!

Jeremiah 31:31-32 King James Version (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

The only covenant made in the desert was the MOsaic!!!!

The Scriptures I cited disagree.

when I find the passages I will show you that though "strangers" were to be treated as a natural, they still had restrictions!!!!

All of the promises are fulfilled in Christ, who is the Heir of all things. (2 Corinthians 1:20; Hebrews 1:1,2).
The OT covenants are its OT provisions, and they are completely transcended by the NT's better promises (Hebrews 8:6), fulfilled in Christ and those who are in Christ.

One NT passage should end this theory of yours.

Acts 1:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Jesus didn't say those promises are now consumed by the new! or any other such statement. He said that the time of Israel having their kingdom restored is in the Fathers power! Jesus would not have been implicitly deceptive. We as mortals may roll that way- but Jesus never did!

I agree! But it was one covenant and that was the Mosaic Covenant!

You'll notice that there is only one Old Testament, and only one New Testament.

The OT covenants are not separate testaments. We do not have five separate old testaments. Rather, they are the testamentary promissory clauses, as you find in any will and testament.

Thus the one New Testament transcends the one Old Testament, and all of its clauses, in their entirety.

Jesus did not have to die five times.

One NT passage should end this theory of yours.

Acts 1:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Jesus didn't say those promises are now consumed by the new! or any other such statement. He said that the time of Israel having their kingdom restored is in the Fathers power! Jesus would not have been implicitly deceptive. We as mortals may roll that way- but Jesus never did!

Two NT passages do end this theory of yours.

The times and seasons are associated with the day of the Lord, which is the end of all things temporal.

1 Thessalonians 5
1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2 Peter 3
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.


There's no restored Israelitish kingdom in a universe afire.

So Jesus was lying to His apostles then? According to your definition- the apostles wewre asking if Jesus was going to restore th ekingdom to Israel as was numerously promised by god in the OT and then He responds by saying it is not for them to know when God is going to destroy everything? Are you really trying to say that?

You err because you think that every time the phrase times and seasons always refer to the same thing- they don'T.

So you don't believe Jesus is physically coming back to earth to reign for a thousand years?
You do not believe all the promises of a restored earth where the lion and the lamb will not come to pass?
Are you a deep covenant theology adherent?

Do you consider Genesis 17:12 to be an error?

No, but it only applies to those in the household of a Hebrew that are not Hebrew. It doesn't apply to gentiles who are living in the land. There are what is termed "righteous gentiles". Like this example....

Luke 7:2-5 (NKJV) And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die. 3 So when he heard about Jesus, he sent elders of the Jews to Him, pleading with Him to come and heal his servant. 4 And when they came to Jesus, they begged Him earnestly, saying that the one for whom He should do this was deserving, 5 “for he loves our nation, and has built us a synagogue.”

There were standards of lifestyle and such that gentiles should follow if living in Eretz Israel, but circumcision was never required of them. Only Hebrews and those in their household like servants, who by living and serving in the household of a Hebrew were considered of that household and therefore under the covenant.

That one old Testament is the Mosaic Testament! Thus says Jeremiah! Thus says Jesus and thus says the Book of REvelation!

Christ fulfilled the Mosaic covenant, the Abrahamic covenant (Galatians 3:16), and all of the others, because He was made Heir of all things (Hebrews 1:2), and He is all and in all (Colossians 3:11).

There's no misunderstanding the word "all".

So Jesus was lying to His apostles then?

What Jesus told His disciples was perfectly harmonious with 1 Thessalonians 5:1,2; no one knows the times and seasons of the day of the Lord, which the "Father hath put in His own power". (Acts 1:7; Matthew 24:36).

Let Scripture interpret Scripture.

So then, is the Davidic Covenant no longer applicable and only a promissory clause? If so, then Yeshua has no right to reign as king if it is part of the covenant that was rescinded by the New Covenant. Is not the Noahic Covenant in force anymore? Well, better buy up some flood insurance no matter where you live. And the Abrahamic Covenant. The Mosaic Covenant is the only one that is conditional and Israel was held accountable to. That is also the only covenant that was done away with by the Covenant of Yeshua. And Jeremiah makes that abundantly clear.

No, but it only applies to those in the household of a Hebrew that are not Hebrew. It doesn't apply to gentiles who are living in the land.

Scripture disagrees.

Genesis 17
10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

Genesis 34
24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.

Exodus 12
48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.


Circumcision was applicable to every male, ethnic or nonethnic, foreign or domestic, slave or free, servant or son; without distinction; who was willing to submit to, and comply with, God's covenant.

Genesis 17:10 (NKJV) This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised;

Now I know it can be tough at times, but try to stay focused. The "Every male" is talking bout the previous sentence.... "your descendents after you".

You cannot find one part of the Torah that says that gentiles living in the Land among the Hebrews that they must also be circumcised. Only those who live in Hebrew homes, servants, or who align themselves with the Mosaic Covenant. All that was required of the gentiles living among the Hebrews was basic application of the Noahic Covenant. And that was the basis of the ruling by the Jerusalem Council in Acts....

Acts 15:19-21 (NKJV) Therefore I judge that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God, 20 but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

who align themselves with the Mosaic Covenant.

Exactly what I've been saying.

"I know it can be tough, but try to stay focused" and read the last sentence in post 953.

Here, I'll repeat it for your convenience:

"Circumcision was applicable to every male, ethnic or nonethnic, foreign or domestic, slave or free, servant or son; without distinction; who was willing to submit to, and comply with, God's covenant."

Then recognize that that included Gentiles.

Then my bad. Previous posts came across as "every male" as in every male in the land. I must have goofed in understanding what you meant.

Christ fulfilled the Mosaic covenant, the Abrahamic covenant (Galatians 3:16), and all of the others, because He was made Heir of all things (Hebrews 1:2), and He is all and in all (Colossians 3:11).

There's no misunderstanding the word "all".



What Jesus told His disciples was perfectly harmonious with 1 Thessalonians 5:1,2; no one knows the times and seasons of the day of the Lord, which the "Father hath put in His own power". (Acts 1:7; Matthew 24:36).

Let Scripture interpret Scripture.


Well you appear to be a sloppy exegete!

Teh disciples were not asking about the end of the age- but when the Kingdom would be restored to ISrael! what is so hard about that?

Show me one passage that says the Abrahamic, Davidic and Palestinian covenanats and new covenants are fulfilled and thus rendered null and void!

Jeremiah said God would establish a new covenant to replace the old that Israel did jnot boey (the MOsaic)

Teh Last Supper , Jesus declared the New covenant.

Hebrews shows the new replacing the old.

You declaring that it also replaced the Abrahamic, Davidic and Palestinian Covenants are mere conjecture on your part! All these covenants were made by god long before Israel was a nation or people!

Jesus is heir

Okay then let us let scripture interpret scripture.

1 Timothy 2:15
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Women need to bear children and do works in order to be saved. I guess barren women are lost forever if we let scripture interpret scripture.

I do know that when we take a text out of context, it becomes a pretext!

You have made Jesus a deceptive responder in Acts 1.

The apostles asked when the kingdom would be restored to Israel as God promised, and according to your method of hermeneutics Jesus responded by saying don't sorry about when the end of the world will come!

Do you really want to declare that teh disciples asked on question and Jesus responded with a totally different scenario???? do you want us to believe Jesus would do something that foolish to His beloved?

You will have to look at the studies done by Bennett Greenspan regarding the cohanim studies and genetic linkage.

Again, in post #894 you told me to look up studies "done by Bennet Greenspan". I tried to, but could not find any specifically done by Bennet Greenspan. Once more, I looked for studies performed by Family Tree DNA (greenspan's company) but could not find any done by his company.

No, he doesn't. But his company has been directly involved with UA and other organizations in studying the issue.

When Greenspan initially started the company he partnered with the UA to perform the DNA testing for consumer purchasing, not for performing "studies".


And while UA might have done a study years before Greenspan, that doesn't mean it was the only study or that studies are not still continuing.

Correct, there have been several more studies published since then. One of interest was done in 2009 by Hammer and Skorecki: Extended Y chromosome haplotypes resolve multiple and unique lineages of the Jewish priesthood

From the study we multiple Cohanim lineages:

" The most frequent Cohanim lineage (46.1%) is marked by the recently reported P58 T->C mutation"

" Notably, the second most frequent Cohanim lineage (J-M410*, 14.4%) contains an extended modal haplotype that is also limited to Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi Cohanim and is estimated to be 4.2 ± 1.3 ky old"

So which lineage comes from Aaron? We don't know. We would need a DNA sample from Aaron to determine which lineage the high priest should come from, especially since no modern Cohanim have their genealogical records.

Greenspan's companies now have the largest database of Y chromosome testing, at least as of 2017. Anyone who is going to do research on the issue must gain access to that database at some point. So by extension, any study is going to include one or all of the 4 affiliated DNA companies that are under the control and direction of Greenspan.

Company affiliation or support, is not the same as authoring a study. If we want to go that route, you could say Greenspan authors EVERY genetic study that uses his database. However, that is simply not true.
