    When did the 2nd temple literally initially cease being the holy place?

    Understand, by holy place, the city of Jerusalem is meant.

    Seven questions to ask yourself before posting

    It's not a good idea to mock others, so I'm glad Christians edify, nurture, love, inspire, give, help, encourage, nurse, and serve with wisdom as the Holy Spirit guides and provides.

    God will never complete you, before He converts you (selah?)

    In Christ we are perfected, in reality we await that state, as Paul discovered. 2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.

    Unravelling Revelation

    Yes. When we do as Scripture says and calculate the number we are doing more than just observe 3 sixes side by side. The progressive multiple of 10 has a symbolic meaning in prophecy, and in general, for any multi-digit number, each digit has a place value determined by its position in the...

    Unravelling Revelation

    Good call. Anything else and the cadence is lost.

    2ND PETER WAS WRITTEN TO ISRAEL

    I reject that as false. What denomination teaches that tripe? Obviously they don't understand passages like this which reinforces the substantial influence of the apostles on Gentile as well as Jewish believers. Eph 2:19-22 Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow...

    2ND PETER WAS WRITTEN TO ISRAEL

    2Pe 3:14-18 Therefore, beloved, looking for these things, be diligent, spotless, and without blemish, to be found by Him in peace. (15) And think of the long-suffering of our Lord as salvation (as our beloved brother Paul also has written to you according to the wisdom given to him (16) as...

    Gaslighters get ignored.

    DON'T REJECT PAUL

    Yeah, one of about 40 human authors.

    DON'T REJECT PAUL

    No clearer as to why you designate Luke as Jesus' "personal disciple". Surely Luke was a disciple of Jesus, and companion of Paul, but why call him a personal disciple?

    I am struggling with the notion of pre-destination - can flesh be predestined? (strong?)

    If one's future state is used as proof of past predestination, this is the logical fallacy of circular reasoning or self-confirming statements. In other words, saying someone was predestined because they ultimately end up saved is stating the outcome to prove the premise.

    WHO IS THE WILD OLIVE TREE ?

    All Christians form the body of Christ. Eph 2:11-22 Therefore remember that you, once Gentiles in the flesh—who are called Uncircumcision by what is called the Circumcision made in the flesh by hands— (12) that at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of...

    The Lost Tribes...

    Did you ever come across the phenomenon of folk etymology, where people create alternative explanations for the origins of words based on similarities in sound and meaning, but not necessarily based on historical or linguistic evidence? These interpretations often arise from cultural, religious...

    Is there an update for us to be supportive with?

    Conformed Or Transformed

    In the world but not of the world, walking by faith not by sight, abiding in the Vine.

    I hate myself, and hate being an atheist.

    In the passage I cited did it seem like Pharoah was a kind, reasonable, merciful ruler of Egypt, or a cruel, hardened taskmaster? From the start of the interaction between Moses and Pharoah, God's intention is made clear, see these verses: Exo 3:19-20 But I know that the king of Egypt will...
