    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    The book of Matthew is the book of the King. It has for it's emphasis to present Jesus as having the right credentials to be the Messiah of Israel, which includes being a son of Abraham and a son of David. Matthew makes this a matter of written record of an apostle in 65 AD about the same time...

    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    That was not my point. My point is that all the OT prophecies were not fulfilled at the first coming of Jesus Christ. I quoted Jesus saying in Luke 24 that his purpose for coning is to fulfill all (with the emphasis on all) those OT prophecies and a great number of them concerned fulfilling the...

    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    The 13 mentions in Matthew of the generation into which Jesus Christ came. I highlighted how he characterized it. Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his...

    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    @DavidLamb, @Martin Marprelate @canadyjd You guys seems to always approach the Bible academically first. But God is a Spirit who became a man. He devised and presented a solution to the sin problem, sin that corrupted his creation and separated us from a holy God. He did this by establishing a...

    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    Thank you Anthony. I would want to be sure that there were no prophecies concerning Jesus Christ in the Law of Moses or the prophets or the Psalms that was left unfulfilled when Jesus came. He said he came to fulfill all the things concerning him. The generation he was born into put the King of...

    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    Do you have an opinion about the rebuke of the generation of Israel whose charge it was to receive their promised Messiah and was rebuked and charged with the unpardonable sin for their failure?

    The Generation of Jesus Christ - What It Means

    I have the utmost confidence in my Bible and it's accuracy and would never misquote it on purpose. I copied and pasted from Bible Gateway web page. Sorry for any confusion.

    The very first thing one is introduced to when he opens the New Testament scriptures is the subject of the New Testament, the generation of Jesus Christ. Mt 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. The biblical definition of a generation is found...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Ps 105:7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. Mine is not. I have been on a learning curve for over 50 years that has resulted in my coming to realize that God gives understanding to those who study and believes his words. God knows and uses the words nation...

    The Abrahamic Covenant - An everlasting Covenant Ps 105:7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: 11 Saying, Unto...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    My mother was a devout believer in Jesus Christ. She was a woman. Are you and @ky on this website trying to convince us that you have verses in the Bible that says those distinctions are eliminated when the sinner gets saved. Paul offered himself as proof positive that he remained a Jew after...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Rom 9: I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2 That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4 Who are Israelites...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 1 Cor 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Somehow the word "when" got into the text and predictably caused confusion.

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    You guys wear this verse out and reject the Abrahamic covenant and all it's promises to the physical seed of Abraham. All your mental brilliance is lost because of your stubborn pride in your refusal to believe the word of God and to make sense of it. Abraham is never said to be Israel or even a...

    Why Do Both Paul and Peter refer to The Jewish Foundation of the Church as a Nation

    There is a book in the Bible called Lamentations. It is a book of sadness and sorrow. It is about the plight of Jerusalem and Zion during the days since God cast his people out of the land for their disobedience. God himself is sad but over time he is going to heal his great city and his great...

    Obadiah 1:9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in...

    Raising my hand! I know! I know! Q 1- Whosoever blesses Israel I will bless and whoever curses Israel I will curse. = Abrahamic Covenant How does God bless you? Any explanations? Who do you think Micah is addressing? Q 2 - After Q 3 - The seed of Abraham by Sarah is Isaac, a type of Jesus...
