you said Abraham did not know Jesus. you were not correct.

Christ is life, The Life. therefore the Bible defines death as not having Him, being without Him, separated from Him. John 11:25-26 I AM the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you...

the doctrine of human depravity in existant recorded post apostolic Christian theology dates back to at least Augustine and comes from scripture not imagination. Genesis 3, Romans 5. we have freedom but we are also constrained by sinfulness. only the degree to which that corruption constrains...

Abraham and Jesus are friends. Your assertion that he does not know Him is baseless. we don't need a while new thread in some far distant future to establish that, and it is 100% germaine to the question of whether the gospel of Christ existed before 33 AD.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin"? apparently you are the answer to the problem even Solomon wasn't wise enough to solve, and you are so amazing you find it merely trivial bravo, superman. your willpower and brilliant decision-making has saved...

the scripture says they knew salvation was coming, that the Son would come and suffer, but not when: 1 Peter 1:10-12 Of this salvation the prophets have inquired and searched carefully, who prophesied of the grace [that would come] to you, searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of...

Faith is the evidence of things unseen. i am not the first person to recognize Genesis 3:15 as the protoevangelion. but judge others as you would have yourself judged: Adam received the promise of salvation from sin through the Son, and he believed it, and God covered him with the blood of a...

i think you missed, why is "eye" in Matthew 6:23 singular, not plural 'eyes'...?

the Seed of the woman had His heel bitten but crushed the head of the Serpent. that is the gospel of the birth, life, death, resurrection and return of the Messiah to save the world from sin. it isn't my fault you don't yet comprehend that. please listen to the lecture series i put for you...

Adam was given a new garment made by the hand of God, covered with the innocent blood of a lamb, was given the gospel of the death burial and resurrection of the Son and believed it, was promised the way to Life and preserved against damnation. Adam is saved by the same faith we have. i...

when my Husband says if thine eye is evil thy whole body shall be full of darkness, He says eye, singular. a pair of eyes divided against themselves cannot stand ;) it is literal. and it is also speaking of greater things than literal eyeballs and literal plucking.

i asked who can circumcise their own heart? you rebuffed and now accuse me of sin for quoting scripture. you seem to be at odds with Proverbs 20:9, which was my exact expression in asking this question.

When Christ approached Abraham at the tree of Mamre, he recognized Him and therefore immediately greeted Him. your claim that Abraham did not know Christ Jesus - He is the LORD - is absolute Biblical illiteracy. the very first mention of bread and wine in the scripture is when Abraham and Jesus...

God proclaimed the gospel to Adam, saying Christ would appear, suffer by the serpent yet live, and destroy sin. Adam confessed his sin and believed, and God in response shed innocent blood to cover Adam with a new garment made by His own hands, and preserved for him the way to the tree of life...

Adam didn't even have that, and he is saved by the gospel

John 8:56-57 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"

one gospel, fom Genesis to Revelation: John 7:37-38 On the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."

because i was circumcised in heart not by my own hands, but by God's. it was His work, not mine. Abraham's hands could only affect his flesh. Colossians 2:11-12 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the...

or as to certain others He said, the Kingdom is not by your careful observation... :)

yes, even though Jesus told them plainly about it constantly, they didn't understand. this is what hidden means in this context - with our eyes opened by the Spirit we can see the gospel all over the OT and all over the record of Christ's ministry, but to those it was preached to, there was a...
