Subject: Where is the Scripture? |
Bible Note: Here is Hosea 6:1-2. "Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence." Notice the word 'us'. This passage is about the hope that God will soon revive his people, not about God raising his messiah from death some time in the future. As for Isaiah 53, the Jewish understanding is that the Messiah is a reference to the righteous Jews who shall suffer for the well-being of all the people. This makes sense when you read about how the Messiah was so disfigured, etc. This refers to the state of affairs of the Jews. This chapter does not address my question regarding the Scripture of which Paul spoke. As for a paradigm shift of starting with Paul's statement, that is what I have done. And it has led be to my question. Putting myself in Paul's shoes, I find this passage in 1 Cor. 15 to go against everything he has said about his Source. And no one has commented upon that issue yet. Still looking for meaningful responses. God Bless, Infinity700 |
