It’s not uncommon to hear theologians refer to Jesus as “the new Moses”. Last week actor Jim Caviezel referred to Donald Trump as “the new Moses”.
There are theological and political implications associated with the concept of ”the new Moses.”
I don’t have an issue with referring to Jesus as “the new Moses.” For me, referring to Donald Trump - or anyone else - as “the news Moses” goes too far.
Jesus is “the news Moses” -> how do others feel about that?
Donald Trump (or anyone else) is “the new Moses” -> how do others feel about that?
