1 | The Father is greater than "I AM"? | John 14:28 | INRI | 189504 | ||
The Father is greater than "I AM"? Could this mean that "Father" which he describes is greater than "I AM" that Israel has come to know? Not that the "Father" is distinct from "I AM" but is underestimated by Israel. Kind of like saying "I knew Jack Kennedy and you are not Jack Kennedy." |

2 | Many prophets and righteous | Rom 3:10 | INRI | 188757 | ||
John, Thanks. You make a lot of sense. It cannot be an absolute. It is only part of a passage. In context, that passage is quoted to explain that the Jews are not superior to the Greeks. Paul convicts the Jews using their own scriptures showing them that both Jew and Greek are sinners. It is not a denial that there are righteous people... Jesus indicated that many righteous wanted to see the consolation of Israel. Thanks for the grand overview of salvation. Well said. If I fully understand you, Jesus is the Lamb of God sacrificed for our sins. This sacrifice echoes through all of the Old Testament and is fulfilled by Jesus on Calvary. Do I have it? |

3 | There are a few righteous in the Bible | Rom 3:10 | INRI | 188750 | ||
Never say never. The Bible identifies several righteous people: Jesus acknowledges them in NASB Matthew 13:17 "For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.” And in NASB Luke 1:6 "They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord."(Speaking of Zechariah and Elizabeth) Is the psalmist that Paul quotes is talking about talking about before the time of Christ? He talks about the time of rejoicing when Yahweh restores his people. Was that done by our Lord so that now there are righteous men, even before the crucifixion? dikaios is used by Paul in Romans. It is also used to describe Simeon in Luke 2:25 and Matthew 13:17 and Luke 1:6 use dikaioi. Can anyone reconcile these with this verse? There must be more to it than the absolute that this verse indicates. |
