201 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128698 | ||
Hello chesed, What you have stated is that none of the prophecies were about Jesus, and that he applied them to himself because he felt like it and not because they were supposed to be about him. Is that really where you want to go with this? Steve |

Hello chesed, You stated: "Like I said, Jesus did fulfill Zech 9, but that is not who God was talking about in Zech.9." That's bordering on arrogance. You stated that most think this is speaking of Simon Macc. Well, from my vantage point, the passage states that God is promising a just and humble king who will ride into town on a donkey. And when he comes, he will bring absolute peace and will have a dominion that stretches to the ends of the earth. Simon was NEVER that good. Check your history. Steve |

Hello chesed, It isn't that you don't subscribe to a particular denominational doctrine. What you are putting forth runs contrary to centuries of Christian teaching. You are trying to swim up Niagara Falls. Steve |

Hello chesed, "I have clearly stated that Jesus was the fulfillment of the OT." No, it hasn't been clear. That's been part of the problem. You have qualified most of your fulfillment answers. I accept most of what you say here. We just took the l-o-n-g way around to get there. This statement I cannot agree with: "I just think that the Jesus we know in the NT does not need to be read into the OT as much as we like for him to be. He is just fine as he is in the NT." The problem I have is that both the NT writers and the Lord himself state flatly that he was the subject of those prophecies, analogies, types, and encounters. Steve |

Hello chesed, We have a problem here. I just finished reading 1 Macc 13 and there is no mention of Simon riding a donkey. And I didn't say Simon was as good as Jesus. I said Simon was not as good as the prophecy, so that it couldn't be about him. Steve |

Hello chesed, In what way? Don't make assertions without backing them up with facts. Steve |

207 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128743 | ||
Hello chesed, You are correct that several prophecies had a double fulfillment. "Some OT prophesies were not about Jesus, and they were never fulfilled." Not yet, anyway. :-) "Some passages were not about Jesus, yet he gave greater meaning to them, thus 'fulfilling' them." Give me an example. I don't want to misunderstand. Steve |

208 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128814 | ||
Hello chesed, OK, I just finished reading 2 Macc. 10--it's not there either. Yes, Jesus is setting up a literal fulfillment--because he IS the literal fulfillment. PERHAPS the people thought it had already been fulfilled?! Is your whole theology just conjecture? Whether or not the disciples understood right away has nothing to do with the matter. The people present recognized what was happening and celebrated Jesus as the one who would be king. Matthew made a mistake? Excuse me?! Do you realize that, in making this claim, you have just called God's word into question? What arrogance, sir! The actual fulfillment was being accomplished. There was no "method" beyond this.

Thanks Tim, I wondered what all that was. Steve |

Hello chesed, "Does everyone here believe in verbal, plenary inspiration?" I cannot speak for everyone, but those taking the strongest objections to your postings most certainly do. Steve |

211 | Trenches or Playground? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 129273 | ||
Hello DocTrinsograce, Well said! Ephes. 6:12 (ESV) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 2 Cor. 10:3-6 (ESV) For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. [4] For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments [5] and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, [6] being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.

212 | What is "reformed readingof Scripture"? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 129323 | ||
Hello geof, "Reformed" is a system of theology that was developed through John Calvin primarily. It's really an interpretation of or hermeneutical approach to Scripture. Steve |

213 | Longest Book New Testament, Luke/Acts ? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 129342 | ||
Hello neal, EdB is correct. Luke's chapter divisions are longer than Acts, so even though Acts has more chapters, Luke is actually longer. Steve |

215 | What is God's major attribute? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 129558 | ||
Hello tgbishop, I wasn't sure if this was answered. I would say it's God's holiness: Is 6:3 (NASB) And one called out to another and said, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory." Steve |
||||||
216 | What is God's major attribute? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 129563 | ||
Hello Karen, It's a difficult choice! I could easily have said His goodness. When Moses asked God to show him His glory, the Lord replied, "I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name 'The Lord.'" (Exod 33:19 ESV). The only reason I lean toward holiness is because it's proclaimed three times. Steve |
