ORIGINAL: TheoCentric The strongest case for Jesus' messiahship is Peter's acknowledgement of Jesus being the Christ. I pointed this out to John Hagee in my letter, but he did not acknowledge it in his response. It is very sad. We should pray that he comes to a knowledge of the truth. Greetings, I pointed this out to John Hagee in my letter, but he did not acknowledge it in his response. It is very sad. We should pray that he comes to knowledge of the truth. LOL! You prayers are affective, that’s why he wrote the book…. If were JH I would not have responded either.... He probably tossed in the trash can, …….Because “Peter's acknowledgement” of Jesus being the Christ has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus' messiah ship. The strongest case is written in verse 17 and is that in which the gates of Hades shall not prevail against, which is the revelation given from the Father (NOT PETER), whereby that on that rock I (Jesus) will build My church, and is the same revelation given to Jesus from the very same Father, as written in John 6:44-46 ….Not the type of the preterist misunderstandings, as written in this thread. 16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. The crux is not the messiah-ship; it is that one receives revelation as written in John 6:45 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock "I will build My church", and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. The problem is many Christians say they received revelation because it is written on the surface of a book, but the principal is when that revelation actually is given them. And this point of the verse is repeated by Jesus many times in the scriptures For example in opposite of what Peter said in v16 60 Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?" 61 When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you? 62 What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before? 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him. 65 And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father." 66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. The problem is today is that many of “His disciples” who have not been granted revelation do not have enough sense to leave…. and are still sticking around preaching doctrine against those to whom it has been granted. Loyal Gypsy Your post has nothing to with this thread other than trying to accuse me of speaking against one of God's annointed. It's proven that Hagee is preaching heresy. Again, what's your point? So, do you believe that Jesus was the Messiah promised in the scriptures or not?
