@PracticalTheolo In my view, Matthew is repurposing this passage in a New Covenant way. This is why he changes the wording. He's not saying that this passage was secretly about Jesus. It's the same way he uses Hosea 11:1, "out of Egypt I called my son." Matthew sees a pattern and is showing that.
@TsukinoHikkari@Abdul47471235@Suzierizzo1 John 17:21-23, "that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us... that they may be one even as we are one... I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one." I guess we're one in essence with God, too?
@TsukinoHikkari@Abdul47471235@Suzierizzo1 Don't be horribly wrong and I won't. I don't believe in his divinity though. But I wouldn't get annoyed by that claim. Only by claiming he's not a prophet.
@TsukinoHikkari@Abdul47471235@Suzierizzo1 Matthew 21:11
Luke 4:24
Luke 7:16
Luke 13:33
Luke 24:19
John 4:19
John 6:14
John 9:17
Acts 3:22
Acts 7:37
All of these passages call Jesus a prophet. Don't say dumb shit in front of the pedophile celebraters.
@LiJiaak@Abdul47471235@Suzierizzo1 As a Christian, please don't say stupid things like this. Jesus is explicitly called a prophet several times in the gospels.
@davincentjames The sad thing is many blacks will defend this. They'll say, "Why didn't the white kids just say it? They must be racist. In that case, they deserve this."
