We have a firm commitment from God: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him." John 3

I would tend to lean toward the concept that it is the Holy Spirit that convicts of sin, and reveals the answer in the Saviour. Rejection of His revelation is probably not a healthy path to choose.

We have all been trying to figure that one out for the past 2,000 years.

VIJ, you seem to have your chronology a bit messed up. You quoted Rev 21 which has nothing to do with the third temple being built in Jerusalem. It has to do with the New Heavens and the New Earth following the 1,000 year millenium. Start at the beginning of the chapter: "And I saw a new heaven...

There is nothing mystical about the 3rd Temple. It is a building of stone to be built in Jerusalem, with all the materials and measurements laid out the Book of Ezekiel starting at chapter 40. Earlier in the Book, is given the qualifications for the Levites who will serve in the Temple.

A typical false teacher. We don't need another false teacher to explain to us that the Bible is a lie!

It's called truth!

No! That was just Jesus' way of asking tricky questions to reveal the truth.

Sorry. Just a typical bad-wording day for me. I meant to say "invocation of the New Covenant" when God replaces the Jewish heart of stone with a heart of flesh. That hasn't happened yet, and I don't see it happening until after the 144,000 are sealed, and the church is taken up in Revelation 7...

Can it not be a harmonious marriage?

The invocation New Covenant is obviously not yet transpired. It is a future event.

It is not a secret in the Bible I read: "Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" Matthew 28:19

My best teenage friend of 60 years ago converted, but preferring his lustful lifestyle quickly fell away within a few months. Then there was a girl, who I would not characterize as an atheist. She just needed direction. When I explained the gospel to her, she exclaimed: "That's what I have...

I am self-centered. Without ME in my life nothing else would exist for ME, nor would it/they matter.

Okay, thanks. This whole narcissist thing is not something I have encountered in my primarily family-focused world, so this topic has never come up before. My family are all pretty much top of the heap with multiple degrees, including my dear DIL, a clinical psychologist, forensic psychologist...

I don't understand the issue here. As a parent, one of my important objectives was to raise my children with good self-image. A poor self-image can be destructive. When I look in the mirror, I see someone really wonderful, a being whom God has created, and for that I thank Him every day. Every...

Have you ever considered the possibility that God has placed you there for a purpose? As a testimony of the power of God and who HE is??

I don't recall Scripture saying that they were MARTYRED.

The 144,000 are not just Jews. Heaven is never mentioned in Revelation 7 Rev 7:14 refers to great tribulation, NOT 'the' GT. It refers to the just occurred Sixth Seal worldwide disaster. Christ Returns accompanied by the armies of heaven. Matthew 16:27 The 'Saints will be gathered by His...

Scripture never says He is only bringing those who were martyred. But in Matt 24 and the entire Book of Revelation, there is only one occasion mentioned in the entire Book, that the saints will be taken up. After the sixth seal, the times of the gentiles are over as the 144,000 Jews are...
