do you consider Paul to have done that ? I’ve heard of those who insist Paul is a heretic because of his revelations of prophecy I’m not saying you do think that but do you ?
No what paul did is introduce us to the old testament shadows.
Christanity is found in the old testament. Jesus did not come to change but fulfill.
We are new creatures in christ jesus but not new in terms of a new religion or belief.
The early church failed to discern and has seperated Christianity from Judaism. Paul is showing us through the shadows how we came to be. The foundations that was before the world was created.
Do you think God was surprised at the rejection of his son....of course not. God made previsions for this in fact everything is going according to plan. Gods plan that is.
Think about it...what do we need a high preist for we're not jews. Or a sacrafice, but yet this is required to approach God.
We are adopted into the family of God. Joint heirs in Christ Jesus.
As i said before jews dont become christiand but we are given the heart of the jews.
How so you might ask? Read the covenant God makes with israel in Jeremiah 31 is that not the same heart we have?
This covenant is a universal covenant meaning it does not depend on the obedience of israel or its repentance.
God will do all that is required to make it happen...all the heavy lifting.
By grace you are saved...ring a bell? As we were yet sinners christ died for us....
