OLD TESTAMENT Gospel Doctrine Supplement by Daniel Rona
Weekly E-mail Reminder

<< "THOU WAS CHOSEN BEFORE THOU WAST BORN" >>

------------------------------------------------------
(1.) Pre-existence Referred to Before New Testament:
------------------------------------------------------
Essenes, living at the Dead Sea, included inferences of "pre-existence." This seems evident because their scribes referred to the Messiah they expected as known by previous prophets and sages.

------------------------------------------------------
(2.) Doctrine Changed:
------------------------------------------------------
The eighth century Jewish philosopher, Maimonides, eliminated references to a pre-existence. Various writing of sages prior to Maimonides and available in Hebrew refer to an existence before this earth life.

------------------------------------------------------
(3.) Identity of God and Satan Disappear:
------------------------------------------------------
References to Satan as a personage have also largely disappeared from Jewish thought. Talmudic teachings include, "In the Talmud, Satan is at times identified with the yezer ha-rah (the evil inclination) . . . or he is the accuser, ha-mekatreg, constantly waiting for man to sin so as to bring down upon him the wrath of God."
