"No" does not apply.
"No" does not apply.
It's one or the other.
Since this is a 'christian forum', I was expecting people might use scripture to back up their assertions.
Just imagine, using the WORD OF GOD as the center of your christian belief.
Forgive my interpretation of your punctuation. If it was an either/or, then the comma should technically be left out.
However, I will maintain that He did neither. He did not come to establish a religion, and He did not come to establish the "Order of Melchizedek".
He came to do His Father's will. Neither of those things was His Father's will.
Hebrews 10 is good reading on the topic, but don't just limit it to that chapter.
Since the "Fathers Commandment is the Life of the Ages" - John 12:50.
Jesus came and IS coming (to those awake) to establish the priesthood of Life - Hebrews 7:11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Just being Socratic.
You might read Hebrews 5,6 and 7 to also correct your thinking on what following him means.Neither, He called believers to follow Him.
This is why the phenomena of followers was initially called 'the way'.
The simplicity is to have the Light of Life - John 8:12.Put it this way;
Don't miss the simplicity of why He came, because of the analogy of Who He Is. (Not seeing the forest because of the tree's).
Yes, that is EXACTLY why he came - to reverse the curse of death that Adam brought into the Earth.Right, that is not why He came.
Since the "Fathers Commandment is the Life of the Ages" - John 12:50.
Jesus came and IS coming (to those awake) to establish the priesthood of Life - Hebrews 7:11
Yes, that is EXACTLY why he came - to reverse the curse of death that Adam brought into the Earth.
Nope.Right, He came so we could have life - life in Him.
Not to establish a priesthood, nor to establish a religion.
The greek is Zoe Anionious - The Life of the Ages.You Quote of John 12:50 is from an obscure translation (Weymouth)
Why not use the usual rendering 'Eternal life' ???
Nope.
He has made us Kings and Priests - Rev 1:6 and 5:10.
Spiritually at first, question is, will you actualize it physically?
Then how do you rationalize him saying that he founded his church? That obviously cannot refer to just continuing on with the old religion of the Hebrews.
