A New Abraham, A new Joseph, A new Moses,...

[Rick Otto]

Does anyone know who the New Abe, Joe, & Moe are?

 

[Peter]

No, but I am very interested in finding out.

As this is a history forum, I am sure you will provide us with historical documentation.

I was hoping YOU would do some providing.
And documentation, I consider secondary to sensibleness.

But I don't expect a whole lot of that.
I expected The New Adam to be the end of "New Anybodies".
It is as if someone took that idea and began to run in a New Direction with it. I was wondering how many New Directions besides Adam, there is to go with it.

In Romans, Paul says that Adam was a type of Him who was to come. There are others, such as Moses, Joseph, David, Solomon, etc...many of the major figures on the bible are foreshadowing of Jesus. Even once, Jesus refers to himself as the new Moses. But the root of all of these is the creation of humanity where Jesus is the first creation of the restored human race. Therefore, we go back to the garden to find our roots. I think that our father Abraham has more parallels to God the Father than to Jesus...

Yes, thank you for your creative, inovative, personal opinion.

The Church is composed of thinking individuals.
What a relief that we need not parrot official positions to be understood & appreciated.

Mighty wide of ya, Pete.
