Greetings Pilgrims,
Maybe several of you could help me out here?
Q. Why such a provocative title?
A. To get your attention.
~~~~~~~
This is my standard answer to the many who seek help finding Christ in the Old Testament. I consider this as the wrong question. Instead, we should ask, "Where in the Old Testament can we find the direct personal presence and work of God the Father, the First Person, and Fountainhead of the Trinity?"
I have posted several times stating my belief that God, the Second Person of the Trinity, was ubiquitously present as God the Father's appointed man on the scene to govern all things having to do with the Creation. By all things, I mean everything–from the original speaking of the universe into being out of nothing, including all things visible and invisible, the heavens and the earth, time itself, angles, and men.
I have, on several occasions, requested feedback on my assertion. Not many Christians say what I have said, therefor I have asked for help.
I am no fan of creativity or novelty in theology.
But I am also puzzled why no one–and I mean no one–has ever said anything about what I have said. I didn't know what to expect. I thought responses could range anywhere from confirmation to condemnation and anywhere in between. I hoped some would say, "This is a new concept to me, and I will give it some thought."
I decided to start a thread hoping to arouse some thought. So I posted a thread on August 18, 2022, in the Daily Devotional Forum. (probably not the best forum)
Again I got no (zero) replies. So I wondered if what I said was so weird that people thought I was too far off to be helped. Or maybe the subject was of no interest at all. So, if any of you can spare of few minutes, please read what I wrote in my post to better help you help me.
These are my three questions.

These are my three questions.
- Am I way off target and need instruction or even rebuke?
- Or – Am I right?
- Or – Did I raise an interesting concept that should be considered?
