Bible Note: Greetings JMScott! 1) 1 Cor. 10:1-4 calls Christ a rock, not Joshua! The events being alluded to are found in Ex. 17:1-7 and Num. 20:1-13. 2) The name of Joshua is based upon God's name, but is not God's name. 3) You are correct, I have NEVER heard anyone claim that Joshua was Jesus. :-) 4) I refuse the "revelation" because it is not based upon Scripture. 5) Do I believe that Christ appeared at times in the OT? Of course I do! I believe He even appeared once to Joshua - Jos. 5:13-15. I just don't believe that Joshua was Jesus. According to the Bible, he was a man who had a father. 6) Jesus was God incarnate. He had no earthly father, but Joshua did. 7) Maybe God is trying to give you a revelation through this forum, but you aren't willing to receive it! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
