David the first Christ


Ancestor of Jesus Christ

reply

How was he the first Christ? What was his sacrifice?

reply

There were many "anointed ones" before Jesus son of Mary wife of Joseph

The New Testament Greek words for “anoint” are chrio, which means “to smear or rub with oil” and, by implication, “to consecrate for office or religious service”; and aleipho, which means “to anoint.” In Bible times, people were anointed with oil to signify God’s blessing or call on that person’s life (Exodus 29:7; Exodus 40:9; 2 Kings 9:6; Ecclesiastes 9:8; James 5:14). A person was anointed for a special purpose—to be a king, to be a prophet, to be a builder, etc

I knew that... Why was David the first one, though? I don't think he was.

Perhaps in terms of fame? Who knows.

Sounds like something for mature audiences, to me.

Keep your filth out of here!
