In a word, resurrection is the answer to your question. They will receive what they were promised.

* Lord have mercy. *

Just as an aside, Matthew 5:5 is the verse I have printed on my business card. I understand him to be speaking about inheriting the planet in the future. It appears to me that you’re talking about bodies, not land. If that’s right, then you and I have a different understanding concerning what...

Functionally equal. God put his words in Moses’ mouth. When Pharoah saw and heard Moses he saw and heard God in Moses. Let’s substitute “Jesus” for “Moses” and “mankind” for “Pharaoh”. Did God put his words in the mouth of Jesus? When we see and hear Jesus do we see and hear God in Messiah?

I’m persuaded that the Messiah (Jesus of Nazareth, the son of the living God) is the heir, along with all who belong to him. I’m not persuaded that God is the heir. God owns everything; inherits nothing from anyone. What do you think?

This short piece is written by a Messianic Jew. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic which must not be discussed. I’ve posted it twice already. Moderators deleted it once, and may have deleted it a second time. There’s no good reason to think that it won’t be deleted again. Read it...

Moses typology. Jesus is the prophet like Moses whom God promised to raise up from among the people. God made Moses [as] God to Pharaoh (Exodus 7:1). The Messiah, like Moses, is functionally God.

You’ve got some nerve telling people to leave a thread which isn’t yours. It’s people who act like you that have caused the administration of this board to implement the “must not discuss the topic which must not be discussed” policy.

1. By reading and remembering what I’ve written elsewhere; and 2. By reading the modified post.

When I say “Jews” I’m referring specifically to those Jews who reject Jesus, not all Jews. You and I both know and have acknowledged that not all Jews have rejected Jesus. Out of respect for you, I’ll go back and modify my post.

I haven’t heard of Jews For Jesus? I’ve corresponded with them, read their literature, and posted links to their website. I’ve never heard of other messianic groups? I’ve frequently written about them and know many of them. I’ve attended meetings and eaten meals with several leaders in Jewish...

Another reason why some Jews reject Jesus -> the doctrinal assertion that Jesus is not a human person.

@Ronald David Bruno. I’m pleasantly surprised to find that it’s not (yet) been deleted. William Barclay’s (trinitarian) commentary. He expresses my belief about Jesus’ statement concerning being before Abraham. Post in thread 'Yahweh Says to Adoni' Yahweh Says to Adoni

@Ronald David Bruno, what is a mere man?

Sadly, the show is about to be cancelled. You’re a good friend and a delight to converse with. We’ve set a good example for others of how discussion should be done.

Who is Christ? Jesus of Nazareth.

It’s not readily apparent to me that you understand that Jesus is God in my theology.

It’s a reliable account of what transpired. These particular Jews, not all Jews, were enemies of a particular fellow Jew (and his Jewish disciples.) What we’re reading about is a confrontation where all parties involved, both sides, are Jews. Is the Messiah equal with God? Yes. Both sides of...

So the enemies of the Messiah and his disciples are wrong in the hypothetical about a disciple of the Messiah but right about the Messiah?
