  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

So then there are zero OT specifically predicting the birth, time, life , ministry and death of BobRyan,
Right, But the BIBLE is OUR BASIC INSTRUCTION BEFORE LEAVING EARTH. The Law, His Word through His Spirit through Christ is part of us, who we are.
Since you are posting this under "Sabbath and the Law" do you mean that Ps 40:8 "should be" our own statement as born-again saint having the "Spirit of Christ IN me"?
I don't mean anything. It is written.

Things that pertain to Christ's incarnation from God the Son - to the "Son of man" - do not apply to non-God humans, born of procreation not incarnation.

So then there are zero OT specifically predicting the birth, time, life , ministry and death of BobRyan,

I disagree based on what is actually written in Scriptures. God told Abram basically to "Deny himself, pick up his life's experiences and follow God". And Abraham left the religion of his fathers, his traditions, his judgments and being renewed in the spirit of his mind, he "Let this mind be in him, which was also in Christ Jesus:"

He "put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness", just like Jesus. He became obedient to God and was blessed, according to the Promises of God.

Gen. 26: 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. (Like Jesus did)

But is wasn't Abram, but the Spirit of Christ in Abram that enabled him to be called by God, "Faithful". Like David, Abram was called, and "SAW";

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

Who understood this better than Abraham?

Then said I, Lo, I come:

Gen. 12: 4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

"in the volume of the book it is written of me", I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. (Just like Jesus did)

This is precisely "specifically predicting the birth, time, life , ministry and death Life (Blood) of Christ", that was in Abraham, Noah, Moses, Caleb, David, Daniel, Shadrack, Abednego, Zacharias, Simeon Anna, Paul and Peter and Cornelius and "Every Example" of Faithful man in the entire bible. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith "of Jesus".

As it is written about Caleb;

Numb. 14: 22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; 23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

24 But my servant Caleb, "because" he had another spirit with him, and "hath followed me fully", him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Caleb said in his heart, "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

This is the whole duty of men, as it is also written.
