Desire Truth…….It makes no difference if they are songs, if you insist that 53 is about the nation of Israel, then it is your responsibility to show us how, or in what way it fits, because I see no where in any scriptures where the nation of Israel, ever fit that description give there of a “suffering servant”, that is punished for anyone…[Read more]

To all…..Jesus said this (not me). …..“the Sabbath was made “for” man, not man for the Sabbath”. So it stands to reason if Jesus is lord of the Sabbath, then so are we. We can use the Sabbath as we see fit, if we take the Sabbath day rest our souls are refreshed, we are blessed , if we don’t, it’s our lose. God made it for us, not us for…[Read more]

Desire Truth…….Who told you that it is a “Song” and not a prophesy? Not to say a song can’t still be a prophesy though. I just see where you emphasize the word “song”. as if that makes a difference in the text.
peace and love to you and yours Desire Truth……..gene

Jodi and Nick…….I agree with that also, that’s the way I see it to. When Jesus said you must eat his flesh and drink his blood, that was an allegorical statement. When we understand that when person eats or drinks something they are “taking it into themselves” then we can understand what Jesus was saying, he was telling we must become ex…[Read more]

Nick…… Sorry to hear of your wife’s passing, But what’s interesting, I was baptized twice, when I turned 21 years old I went to a Baptist church because I could not overcome my sins, and thought that if I had the help of the Spirit of God I could overcome them, I knew I needed help, So I was baptized believing I would receive power from on high…[Read more]

We are no longer under any “law”, (forced compliance). But we who have repented and been baptized into Christ Jesus, by the working of the “Christo’s” of God, (anointing spirit of God). “are a new creation created unto good works”. just as it says, “For he (God the Father) works in us “BOTH” to…[Read more]

Desire Truth…….Who was Jesus “obeying”, When he poured out his soul to death”? Was it not God himself?, , so knowing that , then it becomes clear that Jesus in “OBEDIENCE” to the “Will”, of God the Father, if you know that, then it is also clear that, it was God the Father who suffered him to do that, and made his soul a sacrifice .

Berean good job , all the disciples knew that those scriptures were talking about Jesus, I also believe that.

Desire Truth…….If you are going to insist that it is referring to Israel as a “righteous Servant of God” in the ‘Song” then it is also incumbent upon you to tell us, in what way “Israel was a, “Righteous Servant” , Right? If you can’t prove that, then your whole argument fails apart right?
