1 | How many generations betw Exodus-Solomon | Matt 1:17 | Jim Estes | 207194 | ||
Hi bowler, Thank you for your thoughts about the “Great Divines.” I have no objection to the opinions of persons who have spent a considerable amount of their lives in study of scripture. However, having gained such insight into the scriptures, it should not be too difficult to explain how they arrived at their conclusions and what scriptures they base their conclusions on. How did they arrive at the conclusion that the “Rachab” of Matthew 1 is the same person as “Rahab, the harlot” of Joshua, Hebrews 11:31 and James 2:25? How do they reconcile the timeline that makes it impossible for Rahab, the harlot, to be the mother of Boaz? How do they reconcile the blatant violation of God’s commands for which there is reward and no punishment, the difference in names, and that the Israelites were the chosen people and not the Gentiles? How are we to know if the things they say are true? It is our responsibility to “See to it that no one misleads you.” (Matt. 24:4) We cannot abrogate this responsibility to the “Great Divines” or anyone else. Jim |

Jim, as I understand it, God has always been merciful to any person who would put his faith and trust in Him as He is the creator of all humankind. In the first book of Genesis He says to Abraham that all nations will be blessed through you. This means "all nations". Gentile nations. There is no punishment to a person who puts their faith and trust in Christ alone. That punishment was paid for on the cross. Christ made propiation for our sins. God has always had a believing remnant. Abraham was justified by faith in God. When Christ came to earth He was rejected by His people. Paul preached to the jew first then to the gentiles. Its all covered in the bible. Christ has always shown mercy to people who put their faith and trust in Him (Jehovah God) in the old testament and new testament whether jew or gentile. | ||||||
