Introduction: Long before printers existed, Judaism was an oral curriculum. Lectures happened on mountaintops, in tents, around campfires. The notes passed from father to son weren’t just ink on parchment—they were accents, eye-rolls, silences that lasted three generations.
Christianity Arrived Late, Sat In The Back, And Copied Whatever Flashed On The Screen.
Christianity arrived late, sat in the back, and copied whatever flashed on the screen. Then they published their own edition. Same pictures, different captions. One: Attendance Matters. Take David. Saul doesn’t hand battle armor to a scrawny shepherd. You offer metal only if the shoulders match.
Hebrew Calls The Boy Katan—Small In Reputation, Not In Build.
Hebrew calls the boy katan—small in reputation, not in build. Family scandal labeled him mamzer, a child born under suspicion. Jesse’s first wife was rumored Gentile; the night David was conceived, Jesse stumbled into the wrong tent. David grows up anyway, arms like tree trunks, psalms in his pocket. When Saul asks him to try on the gear, nothing rips.
Point made. The translators missed that punchline.
Sinai Is a Family Story.
Two: Sinai Is a Family Story. Three million people can’t lie to each other at breakfast. Remember the mountain? Yeah, we were there. No one needs a footnote. Christians read Exodus and treat it like bedtime fiction. We recite it before coffee. Same difference as telling your cousin you flew to Mars—he’ll say, Cool, but he won’t finish the sentence because his feet were on the couch all day.
Three: Righteous Deception Rachel and Leah: seven years of wages swapped in the dark thanks to a sister-code whispered under quilts. Judah and Tamar: widow’s rights disguised as roadside business. Three women rewrite history with nothing but shadows and courage. Christianity turns Tamar into a saint; Judaism hands her the Torah scroll and says, Keep the change.
Four: Hebrew Has a Sense of Humor Psalm fifty-one.
David: In sin my mother conceived me. Not a birth announcement. A guilt trip. He’s confessing his parents’ mix-up, not advertising immaculate entry. Yet churches quote it as proof that Jesus was always the plan. David just shrugs from the grave—he wrote it, he knows what he meant.
Five: Missing Roll Call Genealogies in Matthew and Luke skip names, rearrange years, and add commas. Hebrew keeps every syllable. Why? We were present when the babies cried. They weren’t. Simple attendance sheet. Conclusion: The album’s ours. We don’t lend it anymore—we publish annotations. If you want the real soundtrack, sit with the people who heard the original lecture. Bring coffee. The professor’s still talking.
