Stuffing Jesus into the OT

[painted wolf]

I think the fact that shoving is required at all, is very telling....

The OT did deal moreso with nations, but we can't imply it was only concerned about nations simply because we read about nations.

I think if it's talking about a nation, we'd damned well better infer it's about a nation. That is, if we think the text has any real meaning apart from what we'd like it to say.

God many times saved a place for one person.

Examples?

Yes, salvation for the Hebrew people through a covenant and draconian laws.

The NT offers salvation for the Jews through a covenant and radical grace.

 

[sojourner]

I never said or implied dependency. We are talking about correlating concepts. Just a light hearted discussion.

The two don't correlate in the way you suggest. Primarily because the NT is appendant to the OT. The OT, to the Jews, is complete by itself.
