Daniel's Literal Translation and Commentary
"Hebrews 1:1-13:25 General Answer to All anti-Torah arguments based on Hebrews: This book cannot be accepted at apparent and current value or translation or textual base, due to apparent: misplacement of the altar of incense, misplacement of the pot of manna and Aaron's rod in the ark, suggesting that there was a daily sin offering, claiming that heaven needs sacrifices to cleanse it, claiming that the goats were used at the ratification of the covenant, claiming that the book was sprinkled with blood, confusing the rites for cleansing a leper with the ratification of the covenant, profaning the Levitical covenant, doctrinal innovations, Gnostic tendencies, claiming all the vessels of ministry were sprinkled with blood instead of oil, claiming that remission is only by shedding of blood in contradiction to Torah, saying the book was sprinkled with water, Docetic Dualism, spiritual perfectionism, implied attack on the Angel of YHWH, saying Torah was given by angels, implying that suffering improved God, implying that God had to suffer to be merciful, confusion of Davidic-Priest-King with High Priest, and a host of other apparent theological contradictions and mistranslations of the Torah and Prophets, apparent non-recognition by original Nazarenes, rejection by many in the western Church, non-Pauline style, Alexandrian Greek style, quotations from LXX without correction to MT, mistaken Eastern Church recognition based on alleged Pauline authorship since refuted by scholars, centerpiece use of book by anti-Torah opponents, confusing a covenant with a will, lack of prophetic revelation, lack of apostolic endorsement, absence from the Muratorian Canon, weak and out of context argument for the deity of Messiah, stumbling block to Messianic Jews familiar with Torah, total and utter failure to preach the true gospel, but instead substituting for it a gospel of expiation of the spirit and perfectionism, and Greek miss-definition of faith, and total anonymity of the author."
