Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Thanks, Steve..I know all of those. I used to believe the very things you are presenting. Is it wrong for me to disagree with you? You know very well that none of those OT 'messianic prophesies' said anything about Jesus in their original context. This is simply a typological interpretation given by the gospel writers. There is nothing wrong with that...but it is not what the OT verses were talking about. It was not hard for Jesus to begin with Moses and all the prophets and apply those scriptures to himself. He was the 'prophet like Moses,' the Suffering Servant, etc. Plus, Jesus was a 1st century Jew- that was a common hermenuetical method. What I am saying is that in my actual study of Isa.7-9, Hosea 11, Micah 5, etc in context, they say nothing about Jesus Christ. Isa 53 I give you. Amen to that! chesed |
