Bible Note: Just a comment on Acts 2:34. See Matt 22:43,44 for further clarification. David calls "my Lord" Jesus, that is not to say "my LORD" (the first lord) that refers to Yahweh, but rather the latter "lord." I have to agree with VictorA on this one. 1 Cor 15: 23, in defending the resurrection hope, Paul refers to the Christ as the firstfruits, and to those who belong to him. These are the "sons of God" whose revealing "creation" (the rest of humanity) eagerly awaits in order to be set free from God's enemy death. (1 Cor 15:24-26) If humans will not live forever on earth, then God's purpose for the earth has been prevented by Satan. I refuse to believe that, and I encourage all to rethink this fundamental truth as they study the Bible! (Isaiah 55:11) Your comments make me interested to see what you think.
