What do you think of the idea that the Hebrew Bible foreshadows Jesus

[CitizenoftheCosmos]

without claims of fulfilled prophecy? Instead, the special relationship Israel enjoyed with God as the "Chosen People" foreshadows Jesus's special relationship with God as His Son.
@Priscilla: It's not Trinitarian in the John 1:1 sense, but then, I find that passage to be the most troubling of any in the New Testament. I really wish it wasn't there, to be honest lol.
@Priscilla: I have no quarrel with its lyrical nature, it's the substantive content that troubles me. Saying that Jesus was with God in the beginning completely obliterates his human nature by making it illusory, in my opinion. There has to be a better way to understand his divinity than that.

Hmm I don't know.. it's interesting for sure, but I'm not sure it's very Trinitarian, and you know how I feel about the Trinity

The problem I have with it is that Israel was so unfaithful, and Jesus is the epitome of faithfulness.



Edit: You don't like the first verse of John??? But it's so pretty and mystical!! The whole introduction is like a beautiful spell or poem..
