@kjw47,
Quote:It doesnt have anything to do with the domestics. Believing Jesus' words does.
Except they weren’t the words of Jesus, were they. And if your teachers told you they were, then they were wrong there also.
Deuteronomy 18:18-19; YHVH, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, says to Moses; "I will send them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put
MY WORDS in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command, and whosoever will not heed
MY WORDS, which he shall speak in
MY NAME, I will surely punish, etc.
Peter confirms that Jesus was that man, when, concerning the man Jesus, he says in Acts 3: 22; For Moses said, "The Lord your God will send you a prophet, just as he sent me, and he will be one of your own people, etc."
Did the people of his day believe that he was the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The God of our ancestors? No, they did not, for on the day of his triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the people escorting him cried out,
"BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD" Verifying that they believed Jesus to be the one that God had promised Moses that he would choose from among the Israelites and send to the people to speak in his name.
Jesus spoke not one word on his own authority, but only that which he was commanded to say by the Lord God our savior.
John 5: 24; "Whoever hears my words, said the Lord through his servant Jesus and believes in “
HIM” who sent me, has eternal life.
So, those who believe in He who sent the God of Abraham. Isaac to speak his words through His servant Jesus the Israelite, has eternal life.
For this reason, when Christ (
The anointed one, heir and successor to the throne of the MOST-HIGH in the creation, who spoke to Moses from heaven via the ark of the covenant) was about to come into the world, he said to God: “You do not want sacrifices and offerings, but you have prepared a body for me. (
The man Jesus who was obedient even unto his cruel death on the cross)
You are not pleased with animals burnt whole on the altar or with sacrifices to take away sins. Then I said, ‘Here I am, to do your will, O God, just as it is written of me in the book of the Law.’”
Hebrews: In his life on earth Jesus made his prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God, who could save him from death. Because he was humble and devoted, God heard him. But even though he was
"A" son of God as are all Israelites,
('You are gods,' I said; 'All of you are sons of the Most-High.) he learnt through his sufferings to be obedient. When he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all those who obey him, and God declared him to be high priest, in the priestly order of Melchizedek.
But he did not take upon himself the honor of being a high priest. Instead, God said to him, "You are my son '
TODAY' I have become your Father.
