I don’t know anything about the new age stuff, but I believe the person of Jesus has showed Himself to his servants through the ages as he pleased.

It would have been at least 7 years later if I recall correctly, after they came back from Egypt. Since the star that triggered their journey was first seen at his birth, they must have come from a long, long way off.

That would explain him paraphrasing Confucious.
Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you. Confucianism Analects 15.23 Predates Jesus by about 500 years.

Or Confucius paraphrasing the Lord.
Proverbs 24:29
“Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work.”
Truth is eternal, and originated with God and His prophets.

There are four manifestations of our Lord:
A theophany is a manifestation before the First Advent.
The incarnation is an appearance in Hypostatic Union.
Christophanies are post-resurrection appearances in Hypostatic Union.
The Second Advent is His return in Hypostatic Union.

It would have been at least 7 years later if I recall correctly, after they came back from Egypt. Actually, they went to Egypt after the magi left, and that was to get out of Herod's reach. They returned from Egypt after the old man was dead, and moved to Galilee at that time, because Joseph didn't want to live in Archelaus's jurisdiction.

To: Cvengr
I think what the author is saying is that there have already been several Hypostatic Unions.

also eve ate fruit not a apple.A good point. Eve 'tasted' the 'fruit' of the tree of knowledge.
That 'phrase' can mean many things. What it means exactly, I'm not sure we would understand. I don't think it means she 'ate' anything.

I think roughly early 5th century BC, the proverbs were compiled, from even older document and truths.

Not really. I’m just following what Amos said.
Amos 3:7
Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

complete with the account of the three wise men from the East following a bright star to Bethlehem. as the story goes, the men known as the Magi find the infant Jesus in a lowly manger
So, this text seems to be claiming that Christ has actually been the foundation of a number of humanity's religious revelations.
Landau seems incapable of reading and
understanding the plain text of the
Holy Word in Matthew 2. His dissertation is drivel.

Left one more off.... ;) Daniel 3:25 (NKJ)
(Story of Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednigo being thrown in the firey furnace)
Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?
They answered and said to the king, True, O king.
25 Look! he answered, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Are you trying to insult Melchior, Balthazar and Gaspar?
