1 | Was Jesus Christ the God of the Old Test | 1 Cor 10:4 | Ray | 41641 | ||
Hi Amie, Yes. Jesus Christ hasn't changed. He is the same today and forever. I agree with the Amplified and NKJ for 1 Cor. 10:4, "and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ." Besides the references given in the Amplified of Exod.17:6 and Numbers 20:11, my study bible gives Psalm 78:15. I see that verse as a contrast with 1 Corinthians in that the Rock, the Rock that was Christ is seen in Psalms 78 as splitting the rocks and bringing water from the rocks. Psalm 78:15,16, "He split the rocks in the wilderness, And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths. He brought forth streams also from the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers." Verse 10 starts with God and follows with a long string of the things that He did in His miracles. And how they refused to walk in His law. They had forgotten the works of God and did not keep His commandments. In Psalm 78:19 and 20 the people speak against God. "Then they spoke against God; They said, "Can (God) prepare a table in the wilderness? Behold, He struck the rock, so that water gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He [the Rock] give bread also? Will He [the Rock] provide meat...? Yes, I think that the Rock can give bread also for He is the Bread of life, the manna from heaven. Psalm 78:24, "And (He) rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven." Psalm 78:32, "In spite of all this they still sinned, And did not believe in (His) wonderful works." Psalm 78:34,35, "When He killed them, then they sought Him, And returned and searched diligently for God; And they remembered that God was their *Rock/, and the Most High (God) their Redeemer." Psalm 78:38a, "But He/, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them." ***The capitalized *Rock of Psalm 78:35 is my interpretation because I like to be consistent in similar phrases like "their Rock" and "their Redeemer". I don't like to mix lower and upper cases in these cases. In contrast look at Psalm 18:30,31, "As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the (Lord) is tried; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock [sic], except our God, The God/ who girds me with strength, And makes my way blameless?" Psalm 19:14, "Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart Be acceptable in Thy sight, O (Lord), my rock [sic] and my *redeemer." (See an early NASB copyright.) Psalm 18:46, "The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation..." From the heart, Ray |

2 | Was Jesus Christ the God of the Old Test | 1 Cor 10:4 | Arnie | 41690 | ||
Dear Ray, Thanks, what I find most interesting is that Christ entered into a marriage covenant with Israel, at Mount Sinai, Israel promised to faithfully obey all the commandments of God only to fail miserably, the part I find interesting, (I would like your comments) is Christ must have known that Israel would fail. Rom 9:32-33 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. KJV Why would He enter into a relationship knowing it would fail? Arnie |

3 | Was Jesus Christ the God of the Old Test | 1 Cor 10:4 | meusing | 41698 | ||
The LORD God explained why He chose the children of Israel. Deut 7:6 For you are a holy and set-apart people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be a special people to Himself out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. Deut 7:7 The Lord did not set His love upon you and choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the fewest of all people. Deut 7:8 But because the Lord loves you and because He would keep the oath which He had sworn to your fathers, the Lord has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Deut 7:9 Know, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations, Deut 7:10 And repays those who hate Him to their face, by destroying them; He will not be slack to him who hates Him, but will requite him to his face. |
