166	How can Israel in Hos 11:1 be Jesus?	Hos 11:1	BradK	226409
	Hello Michael, You're not alone in your observation regrading Hos. 11:1. The use of the Old Testament in the New continues to be a subject of great debate and much has been written regarding it. Writing in Bibliotecha Sacra, Tracy Howard (ThM Dallas Theological Seminary)observes the following: (I'll quote in part) "One of the thornier problems is the use of Hosea 11:1 (“Out of Egypt I called My son”) in Matthew 2:15. The difficulty of this problem is evidenced by the numerous solutions offered by evangelicals, some of which have serious ramifications in both hermeneutics and theology." The Problem: "The problem of Matthew’s use of Hosea 11:1 is articulated by Ellis, who writes, “To many Christian readers, to say nothing of Jewish readers, the New Testament interpretation of the Old appears to be exceedingly arbitrary. For example, Hosea 11:1 (‘Out of Egypt I called my son’) refers to Israel’s experience of the Exodus; how can Mt. 2:15 apply it to Jesus’ sojourn in Egypt?”1 As Ellis correctly points out, Hosea 11:1–2 describes the history of the nation of Israel at the time of the Exodus as well as the succeeding events." "It is important to observe that the reference in Hosea 11:1 is to the nation Israel and her historical Exodus. No exegetical evidence exists that a concept of Messiah (either explicitly or implicitly) is in this passage. That Hosea’s focus was on the nation and not Messiah is also demonstrated from verse 2, in which he described the events after the Exodus." Various Solutions exist to attempt an explanation: 1.Predictive Prophecy "Some commentators regard Matthew 2:15 as a direct fulfillment of Hosea 11:1" 2. Sensus Plenior "William LaSor has argued that the use of Hosea 11:1 in Matthew 2:15 is an appropriate example of sensus plenior. The principle of sensus plenior, advocated primarily by Roman Catholic scholars, has been debated frequently, However, in recent years it has also been the subject of discussion by evangelicals, particularly with the renewed study of the use of the Old Testament in the New." 3.Typological: "This solution maintains that the events in the life of the nation as described in Hosea 11:1–2 “typified” the life of Messiah in Matthew 2:13–15. Exactly what this means can vary because the word “type” is used loosely. Traditionally typology has been defined by centering on the idea of prefiguration. For example Fritsch says that a type is “an institution, historical event or person, ordained by God, which effectively prefigures some truth connected with Christianity.” According to this position, the events described in Matthew 2:13–15 were prefigured in Hosea 11:1–2.34 However, the prefigurative view of typology has questionable implications." [Bibliotheca Sacra : A quarterly published by Dallas Theological Seminary. 1996. Dallas TX: Dallas Theological Seminary.] This is a brief summary of the entire article, but hopefully will be of help. It really delves into an aspect of Hermenuetics that can be very scholarly.:-) If you'd like the full article, just let me know. Speaking the Truth In Love, BradK

169	who is the author of the bible?	Deut 9:9	BradK	226354
	Hello burnside, The bible was written by numerous authors over a span of 1500 some years! Most Evangelicals would hold to the Dual- source (authorship) theory of inspiration. This being that scripture is the result of 100 percent God and 100 percent man. Beyond the language of 2 Tim. 3:16, we're not explicitly told how the actual process of inspiration took place! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK
170	full of the spirit	Eph 1:13	BradK	226308
	Hello lidiagg, According to scripture, all believers receive the Holy Spirit upon salvation: Eph 1:13 "In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, Eph 1:14 "who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory." (NASB) Yet, we are implored to be (continually) filled (Controlled by) with the Spirit, " And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit," (Eph. 5:18) cf Gal. 5:16 How do you know you're "full of the Holy Spirit?". You will manifest the "fruit of the Spirit",(characteristics) "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;" (Gal. 5:22-23) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK
171	What happen to dead before Jesus Came.	Heb 11:39	BradK	226263
	Hello Gary, The 11th chapter of Hebrews provides the answer to what happened to the people who believed in God?: Heb 11:13 "All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth." (NASB) cf. 11:39-40 What qualified them to go?: Their faith! Heb. 11:1-2 tells us, "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval." Where are they now? They are in living in the fellowship and presence of God. I hope this helps, BradK

177	Gen 17:5,Gen 17;15,Gen 32:28,Isaiah 62:2	Gen 17:6	BradK	225954
	Hello seeking, In Gen. 17:5,15 God tells Abram and Sarai, "But your name shall be Abraham", and "...but Sarah shall be her name." If you note the entire context of Chapt. 17, the next few verses provide the reason: It has to do with God making a unilateral covenant with Abraham,: Gen 17:6 "I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you. Gen 17:7 "I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you." (NASB) It is important to see that it is God who initiated the name changes and the covenant (vs 10-16)! In Gen. 17:9, "God said further to Abraham, "Now as for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations." I hope this helps, BradK

179	if we are the body, what is christ?	Col 2:10	BradK	225794
	Hello holleywood, Eph 5:23 states, "For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body." Col. 2:9-10 tells us, "For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;" Christ is the head! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK
180	THE UNHOLY AND THE HOLY?	Heb 4:16	BradK	225772
	Hello jje, If I'm understanding your query- Heb. 4:16 answers it, "Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need." The reason for this is stated in the 2 previous verses: Heb 4:14 "Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession." Heb 4:15 "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin." (NASB) This in turn could also be based upon the positional truths contained in Eph. 1:3-8 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK
