Why do people believe so strongly in Jesus when the Old Testament came out 400 years before the NT? Like if the bible was just the OT at first and then 400 years later someone comes out with a part 2 with a new superhero, all of humanity is now just expected to believe this and accept Jesus as God when Jesus wasn't in the original bible at all? Some people think The Book of Mormon is the 3rd book of the bible. Is that true? Do you see the problem. Anyone can just claim they have the latest info whenever. This is why I view God only in abstract. The NT feels like bs to me.
Jesus put his stamp throughout the Hebrew OT. It's the name of God that is never translated (Aleph Tav). Also, the OT paints a picture of who Jesus will be when he comes. But the nation was expecting a God who would be a national / military leader, not a sacrifice for sin. Yet the OT reveals the need and requirement for a once for all sacrifice for sin. The NT reveals this God who has always loved humanity, but has been so far removed from God that they don't see their need for God. God made it easy for people to come to him, but men (and women) and religion made it difficult by adding rules and regulations and many distractions.
Anyone who wanted to create a believable NT would absolutely need to be intimately familiar with the OT inside and out. The NT is about fulfilling prophecies of the OT, and, making claims of future prophecies. Claims that would come true in Josephus's War of the Jews. The only historian who covered Israel during the Siege of Jerusalem (70 AD).
The point of concern is if Josephus's historic account of the time period, which Biblical Scholars swear by and have for centuries+, was written alongside the Gospels. Thereby making the prophecies appear omniscient only after the fact.
Good question, but the answer is that the Bible holds the promise of salvation for all. The story begins with Adam and Eve sinning in the Garden of Eden. They are banished, but they are promised salvation for mankind. Fast forward years and years, we get Jesus who comes down to live among us and act as a sacrifice for our sins. His entire life was prophetic as the prophets of the old testament wrote scripture which Jesus eventually fulfilled.
The truth is that Jesus is the son of the living God, and he is not just a superhero. He came down from heaven to take that blame for all our sins and was nailed to a cross in order to fulfill prophecies regarding his death. This is seen in Jewish Passover rituals where they kill a lamb without blemish. Guess who is the Lamb of God? Jesus that's who. All you have to do is sincerely ask Jesus to save you from your sins. From that point forward, you will become a new person. Study that bible because it presents the plan of salvation for mankind.
Just so you know, the Mormon religion is just that, a religion.
The Jews in Jesus time and going back to Adam and Eve, in the OLD TESTAMENT were under the LAW. This required a BLOOD Sacrifice. This law was corrupted. When Jesus went to the temple, the moneychangers were called out because they were corrupting the LAW. This is the only time we see Jesus angry by driving them out of the temple. “And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves
“It is written,” he said to them, “’My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
AND THE BLIND AND THE LAME CAME TO HIM IN THE TEMPLE AND HE HEALED THEM.
The Old Testament - LAW - showed that just the Jews (Gods people) were under the Law, but the second that Christ died FOR EVERYONE’S SINS, the temple's curtain was rent from top to bottom, symbolic that no longer were the Gentiles outside of God's family . One is important. What was behind that curtain? The Ark Of The Covenant. The symbol of God Himself was residing with ‘His People’. The rent curtain - the laws, the sacrifices, the obligations etc. that the Jews had to keep daily, had been replaced by GRACE as shown in the NEW TESTAMENT. Because the blood sacrifice of Christ provided a way for ALL to be part of Gods family. The WORLD is now under Gods GRACE.
Probably one of the most quoted Bible verses is John 3:16 tells us this., "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
And in Ephesians 3:8. For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
One in Christ
11 Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called “the uncircumcision” by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15 by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens,[d] but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.22 In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by[e] the Spirit.
Because Jesus was prophesied throughout the OT. Many different prophecies hundreds and thousands of years before His coming spoke of His coming and His purpose in great detail. The New Testament, Jesus specifically, is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. They are connected and not separate accounts.
The New Testament is the Old Testament revealed. I do feel some was hidden, after learning about the truth of the measure of control we were under. However I always felt that God gave us enough for now, what we needed and can comprehend.
Presumably a lot of people in his circle who are mostly there because they have connections he needs.
In order to function and do his job he needs to also deal with people who do not think like he does, including people who may be actual enemies but who are perhaps willing to bend to some of his "deals" as long as they get something for themselves.
And connections seem to be something very, very important both to successful politicians and successful businessmen. A complicated and large web of connections so you can always reach somebody who knows somebody who can get you to somebody who can maybe get you what you need right now.
It is because I think the President knows her graft and keeps her close in order to indict her. Right now, I think Trump privately prays that Paula White is investigated by the fake news media.
It always was a red flag that Christians looked to individuals like Mr. Prager a Jewish man for Bible Study. I also think more emphasis should be on the New Testament, not so much the old.
Problem is, we do not need a Faith department. I think Trump was iffy on it in the first place and took bad advice on who to put in there. She is loco for sure
Just another attempt from the Moloch adoring Khazarian zionists to maintain their infiltrated control for power and it's agenda of dominating the world......
Maybe she's right though. Maybe we all need to gather a thousand or so Christians, make pilgrimage to Israel, and convert as many Jews to confess their faith to Jesus and reject the Talmud.
To be fair to the woman, she does say it as a joke.
Otherwise she sounds like a person who is perhaps more focused on the outer forms, perhaps to the point she may be ignoring the inner meaning. Maybe impressed more by something like "OOH, I WALKED ON THE GROUND JESUS WALKED ON!!!" than by what he taught.
She may be one of those that the Lord tells, I don't know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil. Trump really needs to be rid of this fraud.
You'd think Jesus would have mentioned that requirement while he was here. Must have slipped his mind.
Or maybe Mel Brooks was right - there were really 15 commandments and Moses dropped one of the tablets on the way down from Sinai.
Jesus - I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through (faith in) me.
Paula - Jesus isn't enough. You need to make a pilgrimage.
Us - who else requires a pilgrimage to get to paradise?

If we're going to make stuff up, let's make the pilgrimage destination something fun like an amusement park or maybe Graceland.
I really don’t like this bootlicker Paula White.
I truly don't understand why President Trump has this person around in any way, shape or form.
She's not the only one that has me scratching my head...
But at least she believes in marriage....KEK
She's on husband number 4 now....
Oh my, 4 marriages and considers herself a pastor....what is wrong with that picture.
Presumably a lot of people in his circle who are mostly there because they have connections he needs.
In order to function and do his job he needs to also deal with people who do not think like he does, including people who may be actual enemies but who are perhaps willing to bend to some of his "deals" as long as they get something for themselves.

I hope you are right.
There are a lot of Zionists in there. I don’t understand either
Same woman who says we can buy our way into heaven by donating 1000k?
LOL, guess I ain't going to heaven then
This is simply bullshit, POTUS! I hope my Christian frens shed the Talmudists from their faith.
It always was a red flag that Christians looked to individuals like Mr. Prager a Jewish man for Bible Study. I also think more emphasis should be on the New Testament, not so much the old.
Well, I am a Buddhist. All the pieces fit for my autist mind.
I do practice Nichiren Buddhism.
Man proposes, God disposes...
Oy-vey!
I don't like her at all and I think she is a bad hire by Trump.
Careful. Criticizing any of Trump's cabinet will get you suspended on here for "dooming."
Problem is, we do not need a Faith department. I think Trump was iffy on it in the first place and took bad advice on who to put in there. She is loco for sure
Multiple issues here. Women cannot be “spiritual advisors”. Secondly followers of Christ are the true children of Abraham.
I really don't think she's being literal.
I don't either. I think she's just sucking up to Bibi...
It's a great thing God doesn't answer to fools and their followers.
Just another attempt from the Moloch adoring Khazarian zionists to maintain their infiltrated control for power and it's agenda of dominating the world......
Jesus does not have time to check passport stamps. He has his own book.
Maybe she's right though. Maybe we all need to gather a thousand or so Christians, make pilgrimage to Israel, and convert as many Jews to confess their faith to Jesus and reject the Talmud.
kek
To be fair to the woman, she does say it as a joke.

Sad how little they know about the wonderful Savior.
Sadly true. Satan hid himself AND much about Christ and his finished works...
She may be one of those that the Lord tells, I don't know you or where you come from. Get away from me, all you who do evil. Trump really needs to be rid of this fraud.
