First, let me reiterate a part from a posting you probably haven't even read yet:
Aineo wrote:This Holy One was a man that walked among us. This Holy one is Jesus, our Messiah. The big surprise in scripture, and I suppose to some it's too much, but the language is quite straightforward...that the Holy One is God Himself. This one LORD, Aineo, as we can see plainly in scripture, is our Lord Jesus Christ. I don't see how a man so convicted that he accepts scripture can deny that the Holy One that walked among us was God the Son. John the Baptist made clear that path for God...literally.
And the King that all will worship in the Holy City is very much our Lord Jesus Christ, this is true! You know this. He is the Lord of Hosts.
I mean, honestly, how else can one make sense of the vivid, distinct language in the provided OT passages?
The Father is occasionally described as a man....He's anamorphized or something. But He is the invisible God. The Father is somewhat "behind the scenes". If one of us even saw Him, they'd couldn't handle seeing the Father. Only Jesus has seen the Father and is in fact the image of the invisible God...this comes right from scripture. This King that all will worship and see and glorify can only be our Lord Jesus Christ. The importance of the Trinitarian concept is evident when one sees the picture. I don't know if you understand. You should understand. Otherwise we have two Kings, but scripture doesn't tell us this.
Interpreting is a necessary part of understanding. Pieces must be put together to see the whole picture...that's an analogy I frequently use. Perverting is a different story.
I don't write things to amuse myself.
Aineo wrote:If you read Zechariah with understanding instead of trying to interpret those two verses the 30 shekels were wages not a bounty placed on God. The verses you posted use the word "wages", so how do you get a bounty of 30 skekels out of wages? The only correlation is that Judas betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, which was eventually used to purchase Potter's Field as a burial field.
Zechariah 11:12-13
12 I said to them, "If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, let it go." And they counted out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
13 But the LORD said to me, "Throw it in the treasury, the handsome price at which they valued me." So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the treasury in the house of the LORD.
The wages were counted out, 30 pieces of silver. The Lord told Zechariah to throw "wages" which we know is the 30, into the temple treasury like Judas did. God remarked, almost sarcastically, that such was the price put on His head.
