Hi Doc, "Where do you find Abraham making a sin offering?". I believe that Law came after Abraham. But he did make burnt offerings, that were usually ment for the priests. "Jesus is in the Scripture. Even way back yonder in what God had Moses write. Many did not see it even as many do not see it now. But it was there -- and God directs those He chooses to His Word." Agreed, I see Jesus from Gen 1:1 and before and beyond. And you are right, it is not about soteriology. That also is NT. "God did not change how He saved men in the New Testament. It has always been by faith" Agree.!! Thanks Doc for your sharing. terrib |

Dear Terrib, You wrote, "And you are right, it is not about soteriology. That also is NT." I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD. (Genesis 49:18) The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him. (Exodus 15:2) The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence. (2 Samuel 22:3) Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation. (1 Chronicles 16:23) Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. (Job 13:15-16) But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. (Psalms 13:5) Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand. (Psalms 20:6) My salvation from generation to generation. (Isaiah 51:8b) It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. (Lamentations 3:26) Salvation is of the LORD. Jonah 2:9 I will joy in the God of my salvation. (Habakkuk 3:18b) Which part of the Old Testament is not about soteriology? In Him, Doc |

Hi Doc, Question: "What is Soteriology?" A: Soteriology discusses how Christ's death secures the salvation of those who believe. Titus 3:5-8 is a tremendous summary of Soteriology, "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." (http://www.gotquestions.org/Soteriology.html) The term “soteriology” comes from two Greek terms, namely, so_ter meaning “savior” or “deliverer” and logos meaning “word,” “matter,” or “thing.” In Christian systematic theology it is used to refer to the study of the biblical doctrine of salvation. It often includes such topics as the nature and extent of the atonement as well as the entire process of salvation, conceived as an eternal, divine plan designed to rescue lost and erring sinners and bring them back into eternal fellowship with God. Many regard it as the primary theme in Scripture with the glory of God as its goal. (http://www.bible.org) This is where I got my answer, terrib |

Dear Terrib, I'd tend to agree more with the definition of www.bible.org. (I've actually never really been too impressed with the scholarship of the gotquestions.org bunch.) Soteriology is, simply, the study of the doctrine (or means) of salvation. The doctrine of salvation is not an exclusively NT theme. Note that even www.bible.org is states that "Many regard it as the primary theme in Scripture with the glory of God as its goal." That'd be me. :-) In Him, Doc Soteriology: The study of the doctrine of salvation. It is derived from the Greek word soterious which means salvation. Some of the subjects of soteriology are the atonement, imputation, and regeneration. www.carm.org |

Hi Doc, I have always seen Christ in the OT and do not want you to think that I don’t. My main thought, at the time, was if the OT people knew Him or were they worshipping the Father directly. After reading some of your posts and some articles on this subject and searching my beliefs, I can see where they were looking forward to the Messiah. I don’t know why, at this moment, I let that one brain cell go off on such a tangent, for I actually, after some reflection, have always known the answers. So, whether it was a trial or an assault I will be informed in due season. So, I feel I need to apologize to the forum for the time I took. It is easy to see how some factions get started. A second thought has come to me while writing this, maybe it wasn’t a test pointed toward me; possibly for some other reader. God bless you for your steadfastness and all the others that participated. As you wrote to someone, it’s good to have a shoulder once in awhile. Your brother, terrib |
