It represents the reader's dedication to the text, even though it may seem ridiculous.

My avatar is from a public domain photo of Michelangelo's Moses. The Vulgate was the approved translation, and Jerome translated rays (shone) as horns, which is how the Heb can be translated in other places. It's the photo on the cover of my copy of Gleason Archer's Survey of Old Testament...

Here we go again. Okay you win. I don't feel the need to get banned again defending myself from your false accusations.

LOL. Like I said, you don't get to dictate verbatims. What you describe about Christ is a martyr's death. Your pedantry is your smokescreen.

I mean, what is the point you're wanting to make?

We've been around and around on that already. You know what I think, and I know what you think. God foreknew individuals, you say He foreknew a plan. So how does that relate to the OP?

LOL. I'll answer my question. The Promise came first. The law was added and served as a schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. The law isn't the mission of Christ, it is the blueprint, the model of His mission (Heb. 8:5).

Let me rephrase... Which came first, the Promise of a Redeemer or Moses?

The article is a mishmash of Dispensational and Jewish antichrist claptrap.

Never mind this. I misread your adjective phrase.

Which came first, the Promise of Redemption or the law?

You need to see the law as a reflection of Christ's eternal mission, not the source or the governor of it.

A sinner can be 'unjustly' oppressed? You say Jesus died a martyr. No martyr is a sacrifice for sin. Jesus didn't die a martyr. He died a sacrifice for sin.

We'll try this again. Try to follow: Jesus was made a curse for us. What curse? The curse of the law. What is the curse of the law? Galatians 3:10 - Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. What is the transgression of the...

I did. We don't get to dictate the verbatims. We have to accept these things the way God said them. Why the cross? Why not the sword? Why not a sickness? Or a falling tower in Siloam?

...as are you, with the added offense of reading into the narrative a host of imaginations.

Yes, Jon, we all know what you want it to say, but the text just won't yield.

You're definitely on the right track. But to be more accurate, the law of Moses foreshadowed the Cross. Hebrews 3:5 NLT - Moses was certainly faithful in God's house as a servant. His work was an illustration of the truths God would reveal later. Hebrews 9:8-9 NLT - By these regulations the...

Exception to what? Paul is explicitly applying that very sentence to the death Christ suffered. I think his interpretation is to trusted more than yours.
