Thanks to u/MikeF34 for these:
I'm still seeing lots of Jews around.
Amen, brother. All those who are Christians since the beginning of creation have believed in the one and only Messiah, the Christ, Son of God, son of Mary, fully God fully man, perfect, sinless, the only Redeemer of mankind.
I’m no Bible scholar by any means. And I don’t pretend to be. I just thought that the term Christian came during Jesus’s time here. Those that followed Christ. And continue to do so. Of course I see where the coming messiah was in Genesis. And will crush Satan. I just thought the term was during and after Christ. Before that I just figured it was believers in God and the various names of Him. Not the false gods shown to be nothing.
Also not sure on the Jew stuff, as in the actual word. I’m a gentile so, I try not to get bogged down. 😁
Actually it didn't arise until some years after Jesus death: Acts 11:25-26 Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And** the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.**
I think OP is saying that not the coined term, but the way Adam and Eve practice the faith is 'christian'. You are correct tho. Christian is a fairly new term. Relatively speaking of course kek
Genesis 3:15
15 And I will put enmity
he will crush[b] your head,
I fail to see how this is the birth of Christianity.
The seed of the woman is Jesus, born of Mary
Satan wounded Jesus, but Jesus defeated Satan, death and hell, when he died on the cross and rose again the third day.
Satan cannot win. The war is over. We've been mopping up for 2,000 years now. Soon it will be time for the King to sit on his throne on earth.
Desperate sophistry
I think the writer is stretching semantics and may be looking for arguments.
The reality would be that Christ was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. Revelation 13:8 occurring some time before Genesis 3:15
The simple fact is that from before Creation God put in place a plan for the salvation of mankind. He knew Adam would sin and fall, and thus the immutable position arose - the wages of sin is death.
God could not just excuse Adam's sin and the sinner had to die - no other way. So He showed us the way, from the death of an animal (probably a lamb) of Genesis 3:21 since the Lamb is the continuing Biblical theme. Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
The passage of time since Genesis 3:15 we see the outworking of God's plan for the redemption of His beloved creation - mankind.
The reality is we are Yahwehs' and always have been. He has worked in many ways through many people but always to achieve His plan - which will not fail no matter how we - making - screw it up! The opening verses of John's gospel and the books of Hebrews and Revelation say all we need.
BED ROCK SPIRITUAL TRUTH (build your house on The Rock)
I broke this up to bypass TLDR backlash. Still, as Peter says of Paul's letters: There are some things hard to understand which the unstable wrest to their own destruction. Be careful.
REMEMBER! Every epistle in the New Testament is written to CHRISTIANS not to the world.
Romans Chapter 10:1-17 Paul pinpoints the problems of Law keeping by the Jews...
Repent (turn away from your sin, including your own self-motivated works of righteousness)
One Comment: THE MOST SINCERE DISCOURSE ON THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY...I thank ALL of you who have contributed and have done it with great PANACHE'...God Bless and God Speed!!!
This is so ridiculous I can't believe anyone would believe it. Whoever this is has never read the Bible.
I’ll just cancel the spreader of false doctrine.
Many were justified by faith in the OT but Christians have not replaced Israel or the Jews. Christians are grafted into the vine—the vine being Israel. The Jews rejected Jesus and were given over to blindness for this openly the way of salvation to the Gentiles. The blindness will be lifted after the fullness of the Gentiles. It’s all in the book of Romans.
I’m in the south. There’s a church on every corner and every street. And best I can tell they’re all blind to the truth. Not only that, but Covid showed how nearly ALL of them have no faith at all.
You are cherry picking verses to bolster your hatred of the Jews. All scripture is given for our correction and growth. You evidently didn't read Romans because it goes against what you are saying. The book of Revelation also is about Israel and the Jews going through the Great Tribulation. The 144,000 of the tribes of Israel being protected through this time. You go ahead with your hatred. The Bible also reveals the hatred the world will have against the Jews in the end times. You and your beliefs are the fulfillment of those prophesies.
The bit about Sarah and Jesus is why the very popular "Handmaiden's Tale" is so great. It's about a society set up around conveniently leaving out that fact.
It's a popular series out about America's collapse and a 'right wing' group takes over the government citing Biblical Law where women are rounded up and fertile women (many aren't due to an epidemic that reduced fertility) are forced to mate with the regime.
