6 Indeed He says,
`It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.'" --Isaiah 49:6
~700 B.C. for the book of Isaiah, give or take. And let me guess: my sources are WRONG...but you have the TRUE SOURCES, right?
Sorry, I've done this too many times. Moving on...
"
As it is written: 'There is none righteous, no, not one;' " --Romans 3:10
"
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned." --Rom. 5:12
^^This is where the doctrine of original sin comes from, taught by a former Pharisee (Saul of Tarsus). If anyone would have known what the OT does and does not contain, I'd think it would be a Jewish religious leader.
Poor exegesis.The Hebrew word "El" could be used in that way, but in context of the rest of Isaiah "El" being used in that way only refers to false gods. Every other usage is to Yahweh, and it is never in any other place used to describe the Messiah.
That also does not explain the term "Everlasting Father". Like Isaiah says later in his book:
"16 Doubtless You are our Father,
Though Abraham was ignorant of us,
And Israel does not acknowledge us.
You, O LORD, are our Father;
Our Redeemer from Everlasting is Your name." --Isaiah 63:16
Those are some impressive $2 words you have there.
I'm not mocking you because I can't understand you, mind you. I know
exactly what you're trying to say, and it tells me you don't know what you're talking about.
Minister and 15-year serious student of the Bible, breh. I always find it funny that people who don't study the Bible itself try to tell people who do what it means.
Somehow I doubt that.
