Subject: What other Immanuel was born of a virgin |
Bible Note: Scripture ... Exodus 3:14, 24:11-16; John 8:58, 10:28-33 ... aften1, The truth counts ... "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" (John 8:58 NIV). Look at the results ... the Jews knew what He was saying. In Exodus 3:14, it is the name of God, the Father ... unless it was Jesus tlaking to Moses. Stoning was the penalty under Jewish law for blasphemy against the name of God (Exo 24:11-16) I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" "We are not stoning you for any of these," replied the Jews, "but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God." (John 10:28-33 NIV) Also, in Mark 1:1-12, He forgave sins ...which only God could do. Searcher |
