Subject: Christians before Jesus came |
Bible Note: Hello chesed, "I have clearly stated that Jesus was the fulfillment of the OT." No, it hasn't been clear. That's been part of the problem. You have qualified most of your fulfillment answers. I accept most of what you say here. We just took the l-o-n-g way around to get there. This statement I cannot agree with: "I just think that the Jesus we know in the NT does not need to be read into the OT as much as we like for him to be. He is just fine as he is in the NT." The problem I have is that both the NT writers and the Lord himself state flatly that he was the subject of those prophecies, analogies, types, and encounters. Steve |
