RE: [TruthTalk] The Eternal Sonship of Christ

[Slade Henson]

An allegory can be pulled from a passage in Genesis. However, allegories cannot (or should not) be used to create doctrine, I think it can help prove a point... and a weak proof at that. Avraham sent his servant, the head of his house to find a suitable bride for his son who is to inherit all that is his. Let me restate it again. The Father sent the Spirit, the head of his house to find a suitable bride (the Ekklesia) for His Son Yeshua who is to inherit all that is His Father's. While I do not trust preachers who spiritualize the meaning right out of Scripture, the fact remains that certain patterns can be seen from the "allegorical understandings" of Scripture, and these patterns can shed light on the more concrete interpretations of passages.   -- slade
