Jesus; the Torah, Nevi'im, and Psalms (Part 2)

HI Doc,There were a few posts on this a while back. But I can remember from several uni seminars that a prophet is primarily someone who proclaims God's words.That's really all it is, someone who speaks God's words. There are several references in the Hebrew Bible where God says that He will put the words in the prophets mouth.Jeremiah Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now, I have put my words in your mouth.Deuteronomy 18:18 I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. The prophet does not need to predict anything.Brian.This message has been edited by Brian, 05-12-2005 10:20 AM

I understood this exactly the same way that you did, especially since Faith said that the jerusalem Talmud is one of the sources used as a basis for these 'works of fiction'. But, she said it has nothing to do with the Elijah that we are thinking about.I haven't heard of the book that she is using so it is difficult to make much of a comment. I just took it for granted that it was thee Elijah.Brian.

Sometimes it all you have!

The suffering servant's seed are biological children. The servant was to live a long natural life, and was certainly NEVER considered to be immortal.I think you should stop misrepresenting Judaism and the Tanakh, it is getting extremely tiresome.Brian.
