Ziggy it looks like you keep up with politics pretty good, did you know if the bill to merge Israel’s military with our military pass yet?

That's the covenant Exodus is talking about... the covenant of grace.

P I would like to weigh in on this Genez. I used to think the Jews were Gods chosen people because that’s what I had been taught but I was taught wrong. Exodus describes exactly who God’s chosen people are. His people are now and always have been those obey God’s voice and keep his covenant...

What actually slew Goliath? Was it David's skill with a sling, or was it God working through David as His instrument because David trusted Him for the victory? David was willing, and God gave the victory. Same for us—God slays the giants, but the believer must be willing to let the sin go. Our...

The temple was a foreshadow of the true temple, right? The old temple is gone, replaced by the new temple—which is us. When the shadow is replaced by the real thing, the shadow is done forever. It would be like saying Jesus fulfilled the Passover lamb, but we're going to go back to sacrificing...

Crow, the Bible isn't written that way on purpose—to hide things from the world and reveal them to His own. Pro 25:2 — It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter. The kings in that verse are these kings: Rev 1:6 — And hath made us kings and...

I've been following that thread, but there's too much in the OP I disagree with for me to join the discussion.

Lol

I listened to most of the video, and I see the point they're making, but I disagree for several reasons. A minor one: the inhabitants of Canaan were giants, not ordinary people. Beyond that, I don't think the text itself supports their interpretation. But my main objection is that it doesn't...

When we realize that slaying those giants isn't our job—because we can't do it—but God's, that's when we enter His rest, and He slays them for us. The whole point of Christianity is to reach that place in our walk. That’s why Jesus said his burden is light. For some reason many Christians...

What you say is true but remember “those things happened to them as examples…”.

The ten had the spirit of “I can’t do it” and didn’t trust that the battle and victory was the Lords and not theirs. The two had the spirit of “God can and will do it”. In New Testament terms it would be walking in the flesh (my power) and walking in the Spirit (God’s power). Anybody trying to...

Another interesting parallel in that story is that every single one of the SECOND generation entered the promised land. The foreshadowing being that every believer born again by the incorruptible word of God enters into His rest.

CTK, this logic breaks down for all four Gospels, not just Matthew. The idea is always "Gospel X uses language that would resonate with audience Y." But the resurrection hope from Isaiah/Ezekiel/Daniel isn't a Jewish-only need, it's something every believer needs brought to mind, Roman, Greek...

I can’t do any better, that’s all I know.

Matthew was the only one to mention it because knowledge comes by “precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little”.

The ones who died in the wilderness are the ones who believed the account of the TEN (works to get into the promised land) and the ones who made it in were the TWO (grace) that knew the battle to take it was the Lords. That whole story is the gospel in a foreshadow of how works will prevent you...

And he left out the part where the people that say they are Israel stole that land.

That’s a good verse that I had never noticed before and I know it won’t line up with your views but still, look at this. The messenger was John the Baptist which sets the timing of this verse. Plus we know that when Jesus rose from the dead he came to his people whom the Bible calls the true...

Really. Matthew talked about bodies being unearthed at the cross and coming to life at the resurrection of Jesus. Can you show me Luke's account of that? How about Mark's? How about John's?
