The Abrahamic Base of Christianity

Two Covenants, One Promise A methodical construction supporting a seven-point teaching [Outline] I. The Root: Promise, Not Ethnicity Central Claim Christianity did not grow out of Judaism as its institutional predecessor. This popular assumption ( "Woozle effect" ) is contra­dicted by apostolic teaching. Key Argument The promises were given to Abraham and to his seed (Gal 3:16) — referring to Christ, not to a nation. The heir did not come by human effort (Ishmael / flesh) but by divine promise: Isaac. "We are children of promise, not children of flesh." (Gal 4:28) The Abrahamic line leads to the Messiah — not merely to Israel's national identity. Transition The human, family line is mainly Israelite, yes — but the covenant source and "logic" is Messianic, far before / far beyond the Mosaic period and that is what matters for what follows. II. The Two Covenants: Their Order and Purpose Central Claim Apostolic th...

Image
meditation Melchizedek's blessing The priesthood of the New Testament is far superior to that of the Levirate, because it is based on the blessing given to Abraham, which leads us to Christ and His highest Priesthood.

When the fullness of time had come

  But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the Law, to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.   And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”   So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God. Galatians 4:4-7 Coming soon... a Slideshow for this article

Una manera sacerdotal - digna del evangelio de Cristo

Image
Maneras y Carácter dignos del Evangelio de Cristo Por lo cual debía ser en todo semejante a sus hermanos, para venir a ser misericordioso y fiel sumo sacerdote en lo que a Dios se refiere, para expiar los pecados del pueblo. Pues en cuanto él mismo padeció siendo tentado, es poderoso para socorrer a los que son tentados. Heb 2:17-18 - Reina Valera '80 Así tampoco Cristo se glorificó a sí mismo haciéndose sumo sacerdote, sino el que le dijo:  “Tú eres mi Hijo,  Yo te he engendrado hoy.” Como también dice en otro lugar:   “Tú eres sacerdote para siempre,  Según el orden de Melquisedec. ” Heb 5:5-6 Y Cristo, en los días de su carne, ofreciendo ruegos y súplicas con gran clamor y lágrimas al que le podía librar de la muerte, fue oído a causa de su temor reverente. Y aunque era Hijo, por lo que padeció aprendió la obediencia; Heb 5:7-8 Mas vosotros sois linaje escogido, real sacerdocio, nación santa, pueblo adquirido por Dios, para qu...

He went in but didn't die

The King's worship... King David built his own tent for the Ark of the Covenant. And he survived that... King David, the great kingdom-unifier and psalmist, lived a truly extraordinary life. He had a close relationship with God from a young age and nothing changed once he came to power. Despite the fact that the Law clearly states where and how the Holy of Holies is to be built David built his own tent for the Ark. He had a want to serve and adore the Lord of Israel. The Law also states that only the high Priest and only once on a single day may enter the presence of the Lord. David was not bothered by this either. King David had so much desire to be with the Lord, so much need to live according to His mighty heart, that he built that tent for the personal worship, for adoration, praise and honor, and {we should not forget} for the representation of his worship before the nation. He di...

Melchizedek and Jethro

from "The Bible Project" The Setting of an Important Meeting ... Tim, Jon, and Josh discuss the events right before Melchizedek enters the Pentateuch (Genesis 13-14:16), which Josh believes are crucial for understanding the interaction between Abraham and Melchizedek that follows (Genesis 14:17-24). Genesis 13:14-18 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Now raise your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward, and eastward and westward. For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your descendants forever. … Arise, walk about in the land through its length and width, for I will give it to you.” Then Abram moved his tent and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron. And there he built an altar to the Lord. It’s subtle, but the narrator is implying that Abraham did not fully obey God’s command to explore the land. He just set up camp a short distance from where he had been. (This is an impo...
