What connection does Jesus have to the GOD of the Old Testament ?

Question

Is he responsible for his fathers actions like we supposedly are for Adams ?

.

Answer 1

The Old Testament foretells Jesus Christ. It's all about Him.

We are children of sinners. (Adam & Eve.) Jesus is The Son of God and is sinless.

Answer 2

I'm not trying to debate you. But you do have it wrong. We are not responsible for Adams actions.
Actually the teaching of the Church is that, Adam is directly responsible for sin and sickness which leads to death.

Jesus is resonsible for our relationship with God being restored because of Adams disobedience.

Answer 3

Jesus is the God of the Old Testement. God is manifest in 3 persons The Father (what we often consider God) Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit. John 1:1 Says that in the beginning was the word, the word was God yet he was with God, the word became flesh and dwelt among us, he was with God in the beginning. It is a confusing subject but think of it this way, the role of the three persons is best seen in prayer. You are praying to God, through the Holy Spirit (which allows you to commune with Him), in Jesus name (noone comes to the father but through Him). I doubt i was much help, its 1:30 in the morning over here. It is a very confusing concept, one i had to get my pastor to explain to me recently. I hope i was some help...

Answer 4

The God of the Old Testament dwells in unapproachable Light. God is so pure He cannot even look upon evil, and He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

Jesus came so we could "see" God.

He speaks to us through His Holy Spirit.

Answer 5

Jesus always existed, he was at the very beginning "The Word was with God and the Word was God" Jesus being the word of life, is "The Word" in this context

Answer 6

Many (most?) theologians will tell you that the preincarnate Jesus IS the God we meet in the old testament, who is often referred to as "the Angel of the Lord" and "Yaweh".

Answer 7

He's all over the Old Testament.

He's the Rock of Salvation:
3 my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation.
He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent men you save me.
(2 Samuel 22)

He's the Most High God:
27 'Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.'
(Daniel 7)

He's the Suffering Servant:
16 Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I can count all my bones;
people stare and gloat over me.
18 They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing.
(Psalm 22)

The Good Shepherd:
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
(Psalm 23)

He's the King of Glory, The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle:
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty—
he is the King of glory.
Selah
(Psalm 24)

The Maker of Heaven and Earth:
15 May you be blessed by the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
(Psalm 115)

He is the capstone the builders rejected:
22 The stone the builders rejected
has become the capstone;
23 the LORD has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
(Psalm 118)

Praise the Lord, His love endures forever!
