Searcher, I know you're a better Bible student than this. Why are you playing these games? Copied for reference: "He also gave Him all authority. So how do you reconcile Matt 28 AND the transfiguration in Matt 17, Mark 9 and Luke 9? You might notice as I think it's quite significant that all three Gospel writers thought it was significant to mention the detail about God's instruction to them and to us, the whole world 'Listen to Him.' He didn't say anything about Elijah or Moses who were standing beside Jesus but God says 'Listen to His Son.'" Let's agree to act with some modicum of maturity and get to the actual issues at hand. Please respond to the points of my post as ALL the scriptures have been provided in the past. I'm sure you know them as well as I do. God bless. --Rowdy |

I mentioned this kind of response to Kalos a week or so ago as he submitted the same verse in a similar thread of discussion. It's a foregone conclusion for a great number of christians at least in my world that the word fulfill means something entirely different from the way you and Kalos understand it. To me (and them) it simply means that Christ did FULFILL it completely by living the Perfect Life. He proved to His Father and to us His children that perfect obedience to all the Law of Moses could be observed. But just like it means in today's vernacular, when we fulfill something, it means it's complete, we can put it on a shelf. It's a done deal; a complete project, signed, sealed and delivered. That's the most important thing He meant when He said on the cross "It's finished." His ministry had been completed and He took the authority of the OT with him to that cross. So now the AUTHORITY of the OT is dead and notice it didn't get resurrected like our Lord did as it didn't have a life of its own. Matt 28 cites a episode that took place AFTER the cross, His death AND His resurrection so yes, I'm afraid that's exactly what I'm saying. God said in effect He gave ALL authority to His Son to rule this dispensation as He sees fit. And He chose to delegate at least some of that authority when he commissioned the disciples with the endorsement from the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. Christ gave them this delegation of authority in Matt 18:18. God bless. --Rowdy |
