Hello New Creature, Yes! And now you're wondering what I mean by that. God is the one who does the regenerating (John 1:12-13; 3:5). We are required to believe (John 3:14-15). Steve |

Hello following him, This is off topic. I read your profile and notice you had studied cults but chose to stop as not worthwhile. I run into people that have a passion for studying these things. Most of them get so caught up with cults that they forget their Bibles (so it seems). I was wondering if you would send me a private e-mail at srbricker@hotmail.com to discuss this. Steve |

Hello New Creature, I would say that repentance precedes regeneration, because one can repent of his actions without turning to God in faith. I would not say that faith is subsequent to regeneration but concordant or congruent. They happen together with salvation. That's why I put them together as the last step. Steve |

Hello Country Girl, Ed is correct. Look at Rom 2:12-16 in the context of Rom 1:1-3:20. Paul builds the case that regardless of where we stand in relation to the Law, we are guilty before God as concluded in 3:9-18. It isn't that Gentiles would be saved by their life, but that they had an understanding of what the Law entailed. Steve |

Hello chesed, It's not hard to read Jesus Christ into the Old Testament since the NT writers do it as well. :-) Matthew 1:22-23 (ESV) All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: [23] "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel" (which means, God with us). Matthew 2:3-6 (ESV) When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [4] and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. [5] They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: [6] 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'" Matthew 2:15 (ESV) This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son." Matthew 4:13-16 (ESV) And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, [14] so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: [15] "The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles— [16] the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned." Jesus says the OT speaks of him: Luke 22:37 (ESV) For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: 'And he was numbered with the transgressors.' For what is written about me has its fulfillment." Luke 24:25-27 (ESV) And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! [26] Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" [27] And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. I can give more if you like. Steve |

Hello chesed, So it appears you are saying that God simply did not yet reveal himself as a triune being in the OT but waited to do so in the NT. Is that basically it? Steve |

Hello chesed, As Hank stated, what you purport is quite controversial. If at any time, you would like to communicate about it privately, you can e-mail me at srbricker@hotmail.com. And any of those wanting to jump into a private communication are welcome. :-) And yes, you can disagree. I have two difficulties with calling these simply typological interpretation: 1) Several of the OT passages attributed to Christ were clearly Messianic and the people acted accordingly. For instance: Matthew 21:6-9 (ESV) The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. [7] They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them. [8] Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. [9] And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" The crowd understood the symbolism of Jesus' actions. The prophet had declared that the future king would ride into town on a donkey, and the crowd acknowledged this as fulfillment. 2) There were those who didn't even believe on him who knew how the prophesies were to be fulfilled: Matthew 2:3-6 (ESV) When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; [4] and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. [5] They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: [6] " 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.'" Your statement: "Plus, Jesus was a 1st century Jew- that was a common hermenuetical method." I'm not sure of your meaning here. Lastly, my question to you would be: Must a prophecy give the name of a person before it can rightly be applied to him/her? Steve |

Hello Emmaus, Or as I would say it "progressive revelation." Thanks. :-) Steve |
||||||
49 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128652 | ||
Hello chesed, Emmaus' definition was quite good. More simply stated, God revealed himself a little bit at a time (spoon-fed us basically), with the intent of giving the full revelation of the work in the NT. Steve |

50 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128660 | ||
Quite right! Steve |

Hello chesed, Go ahead and answer here for now. It's not like you are being belligerent with your view. Steve |

52 | 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 |

55 | Christians before Jesus came | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 128737 | ||
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 |
||||||
58 | 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 |
||||||
59 | 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. Steve |
