Are you claiming that Numbers 6:2 is a prophecy
about the Messiah? Or that the Torah is what Matthew was thinking about when he
quoted the prophets?

Yes they did; it is Numbers 6:2. He is prophet,
priest, king and priests separate themselves.
Matt 2:23 is not specifically just a place
name. jt
But did they find the OT verse that Matthew was
referring to in Matthew 2:23 when he wrote:
"and he went and lived in a town called
Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets:
"He will be called a Nazarene."

Actually, you missed it, Caroline. Our good
friends on the Right really believe that the King James Version is
inspired. Yes, that is correct
........ inspired. It has to be
---- the KJV being inspired --- because we have none of the
original texts. None !! No not one.
!!! So ---------------- since God's
law must be established in print, the King James is the "book for
me, " as they are often sing. After all, it (the KJV
version of the O.T.) is actually quoted verbatim, including the italicized
wording, in the N.T!!! That's right. (You on the
Right correct me is I have misstated the position.) So,
there you have it. It must be inspired or it wouldn't have been
quoted, God inspired the first writers (Paul and Moses
and even unknown writers [Hebrews] ) , but we lost all those
manuscripts -- so God reestablished them in the English Bible (KJV)
to the exclusion of all other languages and translations (apologies
to the various ethnics around the world) . It was
actually and originally called the Virgin King James Bible but that had
it's own problems (no one knew if "virgin" applied to the cross dressing
James or to the Bible itself) so they went with the less
controversial "KJV." He was an "evangelical
Christian," King James. Apparently the
first. His non-scholars (only the ignorant and
unwise have anything to do with the Received Text) did all the
necessary work - thank the Lord -- so modern day books and "word
studies" really have no place in present day Christian discussion.
Today, the kind and gracious KJ representatives survive, although their
numbers continue to dwindle. They are quite sectarian in their
sense of community ( some see this as a contradiction of terms but they
don't) -- i.e., they fellowshiip Roman Catholic
members only if they are in a coma. They maintain a secret
list of "essentials" and use these "essentials" to determine if
others "have the Spirit of enlightenment," also known as the
"Spirit of God." Their preferred method of evangelism is
the bullhorn and a thing called "rebuking." They actually
believe that the rebuking of a total stranger carries more weight and
influence than the loving and patient touch (n the name of the Lord)
in a process called "discipling (as in "Go ye and make
disciples ....").
You will find, my dear
Caroline, that their goal in life is save through rebuking
........God using them to break your evil will and bring true surrender
into your life. White flags offered during a
"discussion" with these people have nothing to do with the "surrender"
they have in mind. More than an inspired English version, this
kind and gentle minority believe their very opinions of biblical
matters to be inspired as well -- to the degree
that many of them consider their "interpretation" (a word straight
from the pits of Hell -- which is located in the middle of the
earth, somewhere south of Compton, California.) to be on a level
with the Apostles and Prophets of old. That's
right. We even have ancient manuscripts written by this
dwindling crowd bearing this testimony.
So be
careful when you encounter one of these people. At first, they
will appear to be quite normal in appearance
--------------- until they smile, of course. They
constantly quote scripture and take frequent showers. The best areas
of conversation are those found on opposite sides of a street. On
those rare occasions that find yourself lonesome and alone,
seek out a well lite street corner, hold up a sign that reads
"I love Baxter Kruger" (whether you do or not is unimportant) and
wait. Company is on the way.
