This was a tough call for me. "42%" of me said to just let this comment
go. But "58%" of me "weighs more."
Paul, it is simply not fair to say that we concordists are rationalizing
things away. I will trust whatever you say about what the early Church
thought about the sky. The Jewish people thought Jesus would be a
military leader. Your logic is not leading in a good direction.
Standard Christian thinking is that God inspired the Bible. That includes
each and every prophecy of the OT. Jesus fulfills many prophecies.
On the road to Emmaus Jesus had to open the eyes of disciples, so they
could see what the OT said about him. Luke 24:27 "Then beginning with
Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning
Himself in all the Scriptures."
