If you post here, please do not use "Anonymous" or the like. Choose your own screen names, but do not use one that you know is already being used by someone else. Please: 

1. You may debate with any ideas posted, but do not post objections to the topic, style, spelling, use of capital letters, or grammar of anyone's posting.  For example, you may debate whether the moon is made of green cheese, but kindly refrain from reviling a poster by telling him that it is politically incorrect to discuss green cheese.   

2. Do not post complaints or attacks vs. other posters.  

3. No obscene language,cuss words, or blasphemy may be used.   

4. Send complaints privately by e-mail to NellPatKay@hotmail.com.  If your posting is deleted, it could be because it violates forum rules or is just chosen for a short run on the forum.

Christ the "Son" of Heli

"The confirmation of the fact that Heli was indeed the father of Mary comes from the Jerusalem Talmud Haggigah, Book 77, 4.
([One] . . .points out that 'The reference in Neusner is Hagigah 2:2, V. L., where V is a roman number. Apparently Godet cites it as Chagig. 77.4. Strack and Billerbeck in their rabbinic commentary on the gospels, on Luke 3:23 calls it "pChag 2,77d, 50."
The context is not about the Lord Jesus and his family, though it may be a snide reference out of context thereto.
Neusner says: "R. Eliezer bar Yose said that he saw Miriam, the daughter of 'LY BSLYM [Jastrow -- the leek like sprouts of onions], hanging by the nipples of her breasts. R. Yose b. Hanina said, 'The pin of the gate of Gehenna was fastened to her ear.'" The context does not concern Christ or Mary at all. The letters BSLYM are apparently difficult to interpret "]"
