I didn't read your post very closely (I seldom do), but a cursory glance seemed to indicate that's what you were saying. Or something similar to that. But you are correct, Marcion believed the OT god was a different go from the NT one. It is not difficult to see why he came to that conclusion.

You pick out a few that you maybe, slightly on a bad day think this is what their saying but you refuse to see the rest of ...[text shortened]... follwers to do on this night. It's where you should be too if you are indeed a Christian.

Originally posted by divegeester"Reply" is not the right word. The only purpose your posts serve is as a springboard for me to launch into what are essentially my own monologues. As I never really have any interest in what it is you may or may not be saying, I'm not "replying" to your posts so much as I am using them as a convenient excuse to propound on my own thoughts.

You are not my enemy. You are my brother in Jesus. And I love you.

Originally posted by finneganI've heard this arguement before. After all, reading bits of Isaiah is like reading the gospels.
And of course the New Testament was written by Christians to set out their beliefs so it is not too surprising if it should contain confirmation of the fulfilment of the prophecies in their very account. Now is that not blindingly obvious?

So did the early church write the NT to mimic the OT? One thing is for certain, and that is Daniel 9:24-27 provides a bit of a problem for such a theory. After all, it is a calendar pointing right to the time of Christ and the coming of the Messiah.
