@sonship saidLol. Your post but you contradict it:
@galveston75
Sorry again but that is not what this scripture is speaking of. This is speaking about the congregation, not of a human. He was saying that the congregation needs to be preserved as a complete body or group with the same spirit and without any blame. Nothing more and not what you are saying it is.....
Genesis 2:7 does not say [b] ...[text shortened]... se in the congregation, is the intended recipient of the blessing as of the exhortations preceding.
Genesis 2:7 does not say "and man [DID NOT] become a living soul" because he already was. Take it as it reads -
"And Jehovah God formed man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul."
You say he wasn't, but then you say he was??? Cant make up your mind?

@sonship saidNot that I'm necessarily a Taoist, but I think that always rejoicing might leave people depleted and create an unhealthy imbalance.
Someone can SING along with me song version of First Thess. 5:16-23

But I would be cool with sublime acknowledgment, abiding, and appreciation. 😉
Interesting Messianic prophecy from Isaiah that I got sent as a Verse of the Day today (12/18) - written about 700 years before any books of the New Testament:
“He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
(Isaiah 25:8-9)
Kind of reads the New Testament, doesn’t it?
No wonder they say Jesus Christ and the New Covenant are throughout the Old Testament.

I don't necessarily oppose the idea of the Trinity, but rather, I'm trying to understand it, as if that's possible.
@chaney3 saidThat’s a good one.

Zechariah 2:10-11 is one of my favorite Messianic prophecies.
“Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord.
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee.”
(Zechariah 2:10-11)
Psalm 22, written (I think) about 1,000 B.C., is quite a stunning Messianic prophecy of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion.
