They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim [is] my firstborn.
Jeremiah31:9
Sorry. I guess I am not understanding.
It is an amazing verse...
Jeremiah31:9
"They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim...
The way that you are using endorsed is so indeterminate no meaning is successfully conveyed..
I am talking about how the religions interact in reality. Not how they describe themselves.
Ephraim isn't part of the house of Judah, which is known today as the Jews.

Thanks @Ebionite . I wanted to share some thoughts on Ezekiel.
Most people have yet to understand that the vision was ultimately a prophecy about the Word becoming flesh.
The Four Living Creatures represent Nucleobases. (A, C, G, T). The Four Faces are the Four Forces of Nature.
The 'Wheels...
There isn't anything from Ezekiel 1-2 that would relate to the set-apart spirit.
And there was a voice from the firmament that [was] over their heads, when they stood, [and] had let down their wings.
Ezekiel 1:25
And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of...
The problem with that is that verse 4 does not have נתן in the text, so "to be" refers to Abraham, i.e. Abraham is to be the father.
Firstborn relates to Ephraim, even in the prophetic context of the crucifixion.
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will...
Hi IndigoChild5559. Good afternoon. Pronouncing the Tetragrammaton as Yahweh is not a guess. Is Yahweh really going to allow the pronunciation of His Name to be forgotten? Have you forgotten the Law of Yahweh? It should be our meditation day and night. Exodus 23:13 says "
13 And in all things...
Did I not point out the difference between ‘Firstborn’ and ‘First Born’?
Israel is the ‘MOST BELOVED’ of the ‘NATIONS’ of the known world at that time.
The text is not referring to individual HUMAN BEINGS.
As for Ephraim:
“Ephraim was the younger brother of Manasseh. In Genesis 48:5, Jacob...
I don't believe you are reading your bible. Jesus wasn't his firstborn as well.
"...Israel is MY SON, even my firstborn:" Exodus 4:22
"...for I (God) and a FATHER to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn." Jeremiah31:9
No matter how it is explained, the Bible has been misinterpreted to suit...
context determines meaning and we cannot say that firstborn always means first created; that is, as would be understood in the context of literal birth.
Firstborn is transferrable
The term firstborn is a title of preeminence that is also transferable. Please consider the following…
I have...
Jesus was born of a virgin because he was God incarnate. Why would Jesus be born of a virgin if he was a mere man? The Sonship of Jesus shows that God is a compound unity, echad, not a solitary oneness, yachid. Jesus as the Son of God
His holiness and His justice determine that His very...
The Angel or Word of God as the Memra is understood to be the Messiah. Zechariah 3:1-9 shows the Angel as Judge and is identified as YHVH and the Angel of the Lord. Log into Facebook
The term Son of God has different meanings depending on the context. Jesus as the Son of God
The Angel of the Lord in the Old Testament doesn't refer to an angel, it refers to God. The term angel comes from the Greek word angelos, a translation of a Hebrew word meaning "messenger."

There are others meanings of son of God besides that. A believer is a son or daughter or God but they are not the Son of God. Jesus as the Son of God
The expression the Son of God refers tot the Sonship of Christ.
Here is a post I just made that I thought might deserve its own thread, but to make it more interesting, tell me, Whose your Daddy? What do you think Originated You or is Responsible for your Experience or Existence? You can list all your Daddies all the way to your Biggest Daddy, the Daddy of...
Was that a typo up there where you said "Satan said "do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" or are you suggesting instead something like Marcion:

Yes, Jesus is in the position of a mighty god. He was the reflection of His Father when he was in human form. But he was not a mighty God at that point, although obviously was given power by God, his Father. Hebrews 1:2 says, "but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he...
