And:
"I am speaking the truth in Christ, I am not lying.... and from whom Christ according to the flesh. God who is over all be blessed to the ages. Amen." (Romans 9:5).
"The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed to the ages, knows that I do not lie." (2 Cor 11:31).
Also:
"Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One." (Mark 14:61).
"Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel." (Luke 1:68).
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Corinthians 1:3).
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (Ephesians 1:3).
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 1:3).
"They changed the truth of God into a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator who is Blessed to the ages. Amen." (Romans 1:25).
"The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ knows that I am not lying, he being Blessed to the ages."
(2 Corinthians 11:31).
"from whom the Christ according to the flesh. God who is over all be Blessed to the ages. Amen."
(Romans 9:5).
And:
"from whom the Christ according to the flesh. God who is over all be belssed to the ages. Amen."
(Romans 9:5).
"one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all."
(Ephesians 4:6).
And:
out of whom the Christ according to the flesh ὁ ὢν (ἐπὶ πάντων θεὸς) εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας
(Romans 9:5)
Christ according to the flesh. Are we really expected to believe the God of Israel originated in Israel?
This comparison doesn't help you a bit in understanding what Paul in reality teaches in Rom 9:5. Even these so called language experts are totally bankrupt.
Yeshua Messiah = The Son of God (Monogenes - the only of His kind).
But who is the firstborn son of The Father? It's Israel!
Exod 4:
22 “And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus said יהוה,
“Yisra’ĕl is My son, My first-born,
That's the first inference of YHWH being The Father of Israel. There is no mention (inference) of a Father before before the above verse. Do some research.
The 'firstborn son' inherits all father's promises. Israel is the 'Heir' to all promises of God.
This Israel was kept under the training - the old covenant to show that it falls short and must look forward to the Deliverer.
Now, Paul in Rom 9:5 shows exactly who the Deliverer is and how He came by:
Rom 9:
4 who are the children of Yisra’ĕl, to whom is the adoption, and the esteem, and the covenants, and the giving of the Torah, and the worship, and
the promises,
5 whose are the fathers, and
from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim-blessed forever. Amĕn.
The Son of God came through the genealogy of Abraham/Isaac/Jacob not only to represent but also to Mediate for Israel. He is the same YHWH Elohym coming in flesh through virgin birth (a very important doctrine to understand that The Deliverer is not contaminated with the sin). Nevertheless, according to Torah, He is the son of Joseph, s/o David, s/o Abraham).
He came by choice. Now listen carefully to what Heb 2:11 and 16 says:
Heb 2:
11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them
brethren,
The One Who Sanctifies is the Messiah and those who are being sanctified are Israel. Both are sons of Abraham and therefore, He calls them His brethren.
16: For verily
he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
Remember that it's He took on which is by His choice unlike other children of Abraham who were born without choice and it's them who needed sanctification. However, since Israel's Father is God, The Messiah also has God as His Father having come through the genealogy of Abraham.
Coming back to show how He represented Israel as the 'firstborn son', let's see some scriptures:
Hos 11:
1 When
Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
This is a double prophecy applicable to Israel in Exodus as well as The Messiah having called out of Egypt:
Mat 2:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet,
saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
Matthew's gospel reference is to show that The Son of God is representing Israel whom He had called out of Egypt.
Now, read Gal 4:1-5
1 And I say, for
as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, though he is master of all,
2 but is under guardians and trustees till the time prearranged by the father.
3 So we also, when we were children, were under the elementary matters of the world, being enslaved.
4 But
when the completion of the time came, Elohim sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under Torah,
5 to redeem those who were under Torah, in order to receive the adoption as sons.
The child being the 'heir' is Israel under the old covenant. The Deliverer has to come and represent them and Mediate for them. He had to be born of a woman and born under The Torah of fleshly ordinances. That's what it means Messiah coming in 'flesh' means - Israel after the flesh. Israel needed to transit from being in flesh to be spiritual by the Deliverer (YHWH becoming our Yeshua).
The promises of God on behalf of Israel are in Messiah. They now are joint heirs with Messiah.
Rom 8:
29 Because those whom He knew beforehand, He also
ordained beforehand to be conformed to the likeness of His Son, for Him to be the first-born among many brothers.
John 1:1 teaches that God and The WORD operate in two dimensions. God that John 1:1b mentions is transcendent, invisible, unapproachable, has no voice to be heard. His living Word (with His life) carries His will, character, power, wisdom, humility and salvation. He ain't another God and that's the very reason there is no definite article before God in John 1:1c. It's One God operating in two dimensions.
Whom OT knew by YHWH as He was heard is the same One as manifested as Israel, the firstborn Son in the NT. OT fathers never heard transcendent God The Father's voice nor seen His form. Yet they witnessed that they saw Him face to face. Whom did they see if Yeshua told them they never saw Him. That's the very reason YHWH revealed to them in duality of powers.
Who was this?
Gen 3:
8 And they heard the voice of
יהוה Elohim walking about in the garden in the cool of the day, and Aḏam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of יהוה Elohim among the trees of the garden.
Walking needs legs and voice needs a mouth.
Now if anyone has ears to hear will understand Rom 9:5.
