Yes and it is obviously NOT proof that he is therefore a spirit being.

Just because some things are foreshadowing does not mean there is as much foreshadowing as people often want to read into it. Evidence is how the Jews got wrong what the Messiah would be like.

They are not explicit statements that Jesus is a Spirit being. If they were, they'd be a contradiction to him explicitly saying he is not a ghost.

This in NO WAY means he was a spirit being. You are subordinating explicit text to reading your doctrine into more vague passages. Jesus explicitly said he was not a ghost. That’s not good enough for you.

I know what you said. Repeating what was wrong the first time does not make it correct. See post #6 & #11.

Invention. Gal 4 does not assert that Joseph was a type of Jesus. Carry on wayward son.

One can use true facts to tell a fictional story. Most movies are 'based on a true story' but then depart dramatically at times. I gave you the definition of an allegory meaning it necessarily is a fictional story. Your own source does not even claim an allegory is a non-fiction story. A man...

Jesus is not nor ever was a spirit being. Scripture explicitly calls him a man over and over and over again. This means he is flesh and blood. And could only have been resurrected as flesh and blood. If there possibly could have been any rational doubt about this, Jesus explicitly rejects the...

Well, I don’t want you to be bored with what I might post. It’s clear that we agree about some stuff but not on other things. Keeps it interesting. It must have been the poster who got it confused who brought it to light. For the record, he used the abbreviation KJB. Not sure how that is...

The question is moral - should we treat a Chinese attack on a foreign country (Taiwan) AS IF it were an attack on the US - not an evaluation of our relative military capacity.

Why limit your comparison to these 2 translations?

Rapid cultural deterioration.

Not only was, he is Jewish.

For the record, I believe the poster who pointed out the difference between egg and mallow referenced KJB, not KJV. Maybe that’s the difference.

Believe it. I cannot believe there are so many people who hold their knowledge of foreign languages as superior to translators. What I wrote was wrong. I meant to support the NWT along the lines I presented. And I corrected my mistake in the post. The claim was because NWT uses egg but the KJB...

Yes, an allegory most definitely must be a fictional story. And I think we talked about this before. From Definition of ALLEGORY allegory noun al·le·go·ry ˈa-lə-ˌgȯr-ē pluralallegories Synonyms of allegory 1 : the expression by means of symbolic fictional figures and actions of truths or...

The idea that a translated is correct when there are different senses of a word show the difficulty of translation and the limitation of a word for word thought process.

I care what the majority say and could NOT care less what the original word is in a foreign language. Honestly, this retreating into foreign languages is annoying to me. I rely on translators. I take it as a given that if many translations make it egg and others use another word like mallow...

1st, said Genesis is primarily a history book. 2nd, an allegory is a story, a fictional story - not a synonym for ‘foreshadowing Jesus.’

Except it is not true. From What is the meaning of Zaphenath-Paneah in Genesis 41:45? | GotQuestions.org The exact meaning of Zaphenath-Paneahis unknown, and there is no general agreement among scholars as to its meaning. It is thought that paneah probably refers to “life” or “support of life.”...
