251: Messianic Bible Prophecy Fulfilled: Psalm 68 "He descended and ...
In Ps 68 God "ascends" up the summit of Sinai and "receives" gifts from men. In Eph 4 Jesus "ascends" to heaven and "gives" supernatural gifts to men. Although called the "Mountain of God", the imagery of God ascending Sinai as His sanctuary is a new idea introduced by David in Ps 68. Until that time God was only ... After conquering these Egyptian pagan gods in the 10 plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, God then "ascends" to His rightful place on the summit of the Mountain of God!

These gifts were initially given to only the 12 apostles, then through the laying on of the apostle's hands (Acts 8:18; 19:6), they were individually transmitted to Christian men and women.

254: Is Jesus Christ, God's only true Son?
By using this title for himself, Jesus made what was to a Jew, the strongest possible claim to deity. It was no wonder that they took up stones to throw at him (verse 59).

He claimed, for instance, to forgive sins (Mark 2:1-12), to teach the truth (Matthew 5:22), to bestow life (John 5:21),and to judge the world at the end of time (Matthew 25:31-46).

255: Please explain why we have Old And New Testaments?
A great deal of the religious division and confusion in the world today is caused by general lack of knowledge about the purpose and intent of the two major divisions of the Bible, the old and the new testaments. The Old Testament is revelation and law from God covering about the time from the creation of the earth to the time of Jesus' death on the cross. The New Testament is revelation and law from God covering about the time from Jesus' birth to His (future) second ... The New Testament is the will of Christ, its seal is Jesus' blood (Hebrews 9:15-17). The testator of this will is Jesus, God's Son. The inheritance is heaven. The terms are faith and obedience. The period of probation is the Christian age which will end when Christ returns. The beneficiaries are all men who accept the terms, and the executors of the will are the apostles. This will could not come of force until Jesus' death, "For where a testament is, there must of necessity be the death of him that made it" Hebrews ... ...
