Bible Question:
Greetings Chesed! So, are you saying that Scripture was wrong when it applies Zech. 9 to Jesus? Was Jesus mistaken when He sent them to get a donkey and a foal? Rather than Matthew or Jesus reading IT ideas into the OT, you seem to be reading your ideas into the NT. :-( Using this approach to interpretation, you can make the Bible say anything you want, regardless of what it actually says. My approach is quite simple. If the NT says that something fulfilled an OT prophecy, than it did! Even if we didn't understand the prophecy in that way, I'll go with God's word on it.

Bible Answer: Hi Tim... I don't think I will continue this much longer because it is upsetting some people. I think it is perfectly fine for people to apply Zech. 9 or any other verse to Jesus. I also believe that The whole OT was not just a bunch of verses that people wrote down just so Jesus could fulfill them. I believe they were written for that audience and applicable to those people. chesed |
