Bible Question:
Dear Simchat Torah, Let me also welcome you to this forum. I have found that it has helped me grow stronger in the word every time I come here. I do have one more question for you, however. You may have mentioned this elsewhere; if so, please excuse me for making you repeat yourself. My question is this: You constantly refer to Jesus as the "prophet" of God. Does this mean you do not believe Him to be the SON of God? So you know, I do not ask this out of strife, but curiosity. He is exalted, the King is exalted on High!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
Bible Answer: Shalom 2nd Samuel. No problem at all. Yes, I believe Yeshua/Jesus to be the son of God, the Messiah, and God. My sole reason for using the term Prophet is that it is the only Old Testament title given to the coming deliverer (Dt 18:5) The idea of a coming Messiah was formed by the Phrisees/Rabbis between the Old Testament and New Testament times. They developed an extensive belief system in a coming Messiah. When Yeshua came he fulfilled the role of the prophet as promised to Israel as well as the Messiah as understood by the Rabbis. Shalom Simchat Torah |
