The Cross of Christ

I intend to point out various false doctrines and heresies as I have been made aware of them by others. But I think it is very important to understand that which is genuine before we look at the counterfeit. The message of the Bible is the message of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I will end up repeating that phrase many times, but that's because you can't exhaust it. Understanding this concept really helped me begin to better understand the scriptures, especially the Old Testament. Some may have trouble with the thought of the O.T. being about Jesus Christ, but even Jesus Himself said this was so.

"Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." (John 5:39)

"For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." (John 5:46)

"Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." (Hebrews 10:7)

This is very important to understand. The cross, i.e. the blood atonement, is the foundational doctrine of the entire Bible. That is why Peter said "...ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold...But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you." (1 Peter 1:18-20) By the grace of God, I hope to show Christ in the O.T. in various types and shadows in the near future.
