Yes, quite. Sometimes I call it madness or even possession.apologetics too much of a defense...reactionary and not an exploration?
I've got a different take on it, I interpret the prophetic context as supporting the descriptions from the Gnostic texts and the Quran rather than the Christian story.Jonah was not dead but confined...so for me the meter starts at His arrest or even Judas accepting bribe...And no Sunday resurrection as biblical days begin in the morning and thus that Sunday morning nothing but an empty tomb was discovered...He is risen is true...rose the day before...Sabbath...heals it does..
While that would be consistent with Hosea 6:2, the fruit of political Zionism looks more like what you would get from the Synagogue of Satan.well to them it’s more of the servant being all of Israel...the people...you know oy vey da suffering...Zionist Jews now actually see themselves as the messiah Himself...
The phrase "a body hast thou prepared me" from the LXX is a clear doctrinal variation when compared to the MSS. My working theory is that Apollos was the writer of Hebrews, meaning that he was sympathetic to Paul's interpretation of the new covenant.Hmmm but still not sure what’s going on
Here's how Paul represents Isaiah re the covenant:
Romans 11
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
27 For this [is] my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
Isaiah 59
20 And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith YHWH.
21 As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, saith YHWH; My spirit that [is] upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith YHWH, from henceforth and for ever.
Isaiah 59 (LXX)
20 And the deliverer shall come for Sion's sake, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
21 And this shall be my covenant with them, said the Lord; My Spirit which is upon thee, and the words which I have put in thy mouth, shall never fail from thy mouth, nor from the mouth of thy seed, for the Lord has spoken it, henceforth and for ever.
Right but was the connection made sloppily? Apologetically? Not by Him...but later...as with transubstantiation?
The context is from Zechariah and Isaiah, the problem is reconciling the denial from verse 5 with the lack of deceit from Isaiah...
Matthew 26
31 Then saith Jesus unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
Zecharaiah 13
4 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
5 But he shall say, I [am] no prophet, I [am] an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
6 And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith YHWH of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones.
Isaiah 53
9 ... neither [was any] deceit in his mouth ...
