Quote:I know in Judaism somehow the view that the Passover lamb represents Jesus is rejected. I am only wondering as I asked previously was there such a custom of applying oil to the lambs ankles /feet something that is done prior to slaughtering of a lamb on Passover?
First, you should be aware that no one in our generation or for many generations prior has performed the Passover sacrifice. I have never read anything about oil being applied to the lamb's feet or anything similar to that. I'd be interested in knowing where you heard of such a thing.
Honestly, it sounds like Christians took the NT statement that Jesus' feet were washed with the woman's hair/tears and applied it backwards onto the concept of the paschal lamb. It's like claiming that there was a prophecy that said the Messiah would come from Nazareth. Completely made up.
Secondly, the how and why of the Jewish rejection of Jesus is clear. I don't think that "somehow" is a valid word for that sentence. "I know [that] in Judaism the view that the Passover lamb represents Jesus is rejected." That would have been sufficient. We know why we reject Jesus, and if you don't know why, we'll be happy to tell you.
