You say the Vatican is the prostitute, but Ezekiel devoted an entire chapter, chapter 16, to describe Jerusalem as the prostitute. Ezekiel 16:15 But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute Thirteen times the Lord refers to Jerusalem as the prostitute, in this...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds to me like you're saying that there can be no contradictions in scripture, because it is the word of God. Is that what you're saying?

So if Christ already reigns in us, here on earth, then how can you still be waiting for Jesus to come and reign on earth?

I believe the restitution refers to rebuilding the bridge that was broken between God and man, and between man and eternal life, in the garden of Eden. And has that bridge not already been rebuilt, in Jesus?

When you say "God's eternal living Word", do you mean the Bible?

Acts 3:21 is a very interesting verse. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets. But the meaning of it depends on how you define the phrase "restore everything".

He is speaking as one who was there, living in those days, among the Jews who worshipped at the temple, and therefore it's safe to assume that he understood the temple, and the people's relationship to it, a lot better than we do. If you could go back in time, wouldn't your understanding...
