    Is any one really happy here?

    No big deal. A lot of people go through life in ostrich mode, burying their head in the sand instead of trying to learn or challenge those with other views. I have no respect for those who go through life always invoking the IGNORE FEATURE. Not a very intelligent approach to the world around us.

    Examine Yourselves

    Nope. We all have only interim bodies until the Second Coming, when the dead in Christ are raised and we are all given new bodies.

    Examine Yourselves

    No big deal. I have read a number books written by PhD kind of theologians, and no two agree on everything. If everything could be agreed upon and settled, going back to Scripture would no longer have any purpose. God has presented Scripture in a manner, that keeps us going back again and again...

    Examine Yourselves

    Nancy says >> "no man can build a house, temple or anything with their hands that could contain our Great God. The Earth is His footstool, how could He possibly be boxed into a building of our making?" I don't believe anyone has ever suggested the God could be boxed in. All of the Temples...

    Examine Yourselves

    Nancy says >> "it won't be our awesome God who will take up residence there" I am going by Malachi's prophecy: “Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in...

    Will the Jews build a Third Temple?

    I tend to think that it is somewhat beyond mere faith, as God reveals to them the reality of His love for them by sight: "Then I will pour out on the house of David and on the residents of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and prayer, and they will look on Me, the One they have pierced. They will...

    Will the Jews build a Third Temple?

    Seems that you also reject the new, wherein Paul declares: "For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so ALL all Israel...

    "For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so ** *ALL *** all Israel will be saved; just as it is written “This is My...

    Israel vs Judah

    It is of great interest to me.

    No, the sacrificial system will continue in the rebuilt Third Temple, under the Old Covenant. The last 8 chapters of Ezekiel provide a very detailed set of rules for sacrifices in the New Temple.

    Will the Jews build a Third Temple?

    Rocky, The Old Covenant, as with all covenants, is an agreement between two groups. While the Jews are the Party of the 2nd Part on one side, while God is the Party of the First Part on the other. And when God says this Covenant is between God and Abraham, and his seed forever, I think it would...

    Israel vs Judah

    Maybe our God is a God of forgiveness and reconciliation. ?

    Israel vs Judah

    Germany is the cradle of Ashkenazim Jewery, located in the Palatine on the lower Rhine at the Moselle River triangle, where my family originated. After the fall of Jerusalem, the Ashkenazim went to Rome in an effort to make a living, but Rome was already swamped with trades people, so in AD 300...

    Israel vs Judah

    Interesting that the New Testament is introduced with the purpose and significance of the book: "The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham:"

    Israel vs Judah

    Having read your Herbert W Armstong British-Israel fantasy, it contains nothing whatsoever that I can connect with my Biblical understanding of God's plan for Israel.

    Israel vs Judah

    Who cares?? God cares! SO much of Scripture is devoted to that topic.

    Israel vs Judah

    Perhaps in a spiritual sense, that we are merely grafted in, but certainly not in the genetic sense as beneficiaries of the seed of Abraham.

    Israel vs Judah

    Yeah, but His love for his wife has never been diminished. God has never abandoned His wife Israel: “I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In loving kindness and in compassion, And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will...

    how should a women dress?

    Normal is probably the best option, in accordance with current social customs. Younger ones on the prowl tend to dress in expected hunting clothes. How you dress, sends a signal as to the goal you are attempting to achieve.

    whats your holy hobby

    I'm not sure that I engage in any activity that could be described as a holy hobby. I love to study the Bible, and often enjoy listening to sermons online via internet, a great way to learn. But I really can't identify any of my activities as a holy hobby.
