I'll take it that you understand the flaws in what you wrote, but based on prior discussions I've had with you, I suspect that it may not have dawned on you until after you read my response to you.

Please catalogue the flaws in what i wrote. Asking if i was being facetious doesn't really get us anywhere.
Originally posted by moonbus The writers of the NT, whoever they were, were at very great pains to interpret the OT -- which is to say, the Jewish scripture -- as pointing to the coming of a Messiah in the person of Jesus.

Matthew 16:18-19 NASB

Hope this helps 🙂
lol. Still haven't gotten over being told that? Perhaps you need to brush up. Hope that helps.

Yeah I'm over it (along with half the forum also 😵!)
