“Holy and Righteous” Are Not Exclusive Terms for Jesus

                        “Holy and Righteous” Are Not Exclusive Terms for Jesus


The terms “Holy and Righteous” are not exclusive terms for Jesus. The Bible never says that Jesus was born perfect.  It says Jesus was made perfect through suffering in sanctification. 

Biblical Perfection is defined by one’s lifestyle. Every human being sins, but one’s life must be characterized by following God or following their own desires. The following people are considered perfect in the Bible, yet they have sinned in some shape or form: Noah, Abraham, Noah, King Hezekiah, and King Asa. Below, I will demonstrate how the words “Holy and Righteous” are used for common everyday faithful Jews and not the modern definition of perfection (flawless). As a result, this will demonstrate that Jesus was just a faithful Jewish man (not God as the second person of the Trinity). He didn’t have some kind of supernatural perfectionism before the Cross. 




Luke 1:35 English Standard Version 35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.

Luke 1:5-6 English Standard Version 5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.


Luke 23:47 King James Version 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

Zechariah 14:5 English Standard Version 5 And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him.


Daniel 4:17 English Standard Version 17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.’


Deuteronomy 33:2-3 English Standard Version 2 He said, “The Lord came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand. 3 Yes, he loved his people, all his holy ones were in his hand; so they followed in your steps, receiving direction from you,

NOTE: The Wicked Jews can be considered holy ones in a generic sense. Remember they were removed from the land by the Assyrians and Babylonians.


Daniel 7:18 Christian Standard Bible 18 But the holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever, yes, forever and ever.’


NOTE: The Righteous Jews can be considered holy ones in a generic sense.

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection

13 Reasons Why a Spiritual Resurrection in 70 AD Should Be Considered Over a Physical Resurrection 1. When did the Old Testament (OT) Saints leave Sheol/Hades to go to Heaven? Surprisingly, many believe that the OT Saints went to Heaven at the Cross. This is not true. In Acts 2, we see that Christ the Greater David was the ONLY person granted a physical resurrection AND ascension. The physical resurrection and ascension of Christ in 30AD pointed as well as confirmed the spiritual resurrection of the OT saints in 70 AD. King David was still in his grave, not Christ. See Acts 2:22-34. When Christ ascended to Heaven in Acts 1:9-11, He ascended ALONE. Later, in Acts 7:60, when Stephen was stoned to death, it says he fell ASLEEP . It says NOTHING about his spirit going up to Heaven with the Lord.  This is especially confirmed if you read Psalm 31 in its full context. Otherwise, you are imposing something foreign into the text. In Matthew 27:51-53, there were a number of dead sain...

From Grave to Glory (G2G)-A Preterist Postmillennial Commentary-Revelation 12-22

Image
Revelation 12 V1-2: We see the same imagery of Joseph’s dream here in Genesis 37:9-11. Israel (representing Jerusalem as well in Matthew 2:18) is described as the Daughter of Zion-a dying mother; specifically, Rachel who died tragically during pregnancy. See Isaiah 50:1, 54:1-6, 66:7; Jeremiah 4:31; Micah 4:9-10; Galatians 4:27; Jeremiah 31:15; Matthew 2:18. Although Jerusalem will be destroyed, the remnant will represent a glimmer of hope similar to Benjamin and Christ's respective births. The woman clothed with the sun represents the exalted status of Israel among all nations. However, the moon is under her feet, which represents the waning status of the Old Covenant. The moon reflects light from the sun. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel. The dying Daughter of Zion was about to give birth to Christ and the Church. V3: The Dragon’s seven heads have crowns at this time, which means the Roman Empire was in control. This represents Satan’s authority over the Rom...
