I agree. I didn't say Matthew was only for the Jews. That was a 3-part question that pertained to different times concerning the destruction of Jerusalem and also the entire world and so Jesus went back and forth with His explanation/prophecy. Thus it includes the Temple destruction, fleeing...

That was some task for one person - didn't know he did it alone. Most modern translations have many dozens of scholars working on them. I think I remember one having 70 scholars taking five years to complete. Anyways, I've been using YLT for a long time, just to double check certain words.

Matthew's gospel is clearly written for a Jewish Christian audience living within the immediate proximity of the homeland itself. Matthew's is the most Jewish of all the gospels. MATTHEW opens with a geneology, pointing the Jews to their Messiah based on their history. Throughout their...

When John was baptizing people, he said "repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Later he said, He who comes after me will baptize you with the Holy Spirit." So that is when the Kingdom opened up. Those who believed from Pentecost on, entered into the "Kingdom" of Heaven, spiritually. We...

We are saved by grace through faith alone; but we recognize the fruit that we see in others: the love, joy, kindness, gentleness, patience, goodness, self control, faith, peace. God works on these attributes, grows them within us throughout our lives. The conundrum is that He has His chosen on...

We are saved by grace through faith alone; but we recognize the fruit that we see in others: the love, joy, kindness, gentleness, patience, goodness, self control, faith, peace. God works on these attributes, grows them within us throughout our lives. The conundrum is that He has you on His list...

Yes, lots of folks around here sound like that. I do sometimes. It's pride, the ego of the old self that is not yet really dead. Our old self in one sense traveled back in time and was put on the cross with Christ and died. Spiritually we are sanctified. But our flesh still peeps it's ugly head...

Interesting, in your last thread, your argument was that the events of Revelation happened. You frequently used the phrase " will shortly take place", in the first verse. Now you are reducing these events to mere fabrications, illusions, symbolic of history. You abandon reality and escape into...

You sound like a Left Wing Liberal, whose typical comeback (right out of their play book) _when cornered _ is to attack the other person's character, intellenge, faith and condescend as if talking to a child. "Now Ronny, you should really read the Bible ..." Lol. We're done.

Reconciliation to God through Christ is the only way to heaven. But never doubt that God is working in their lives and then finally lifts the veil of blindness just before death. That happenned with both my parents. Of course there are the wicked atheists in whom you can't recognize any fruit...

The Light hasn 't been seen yet. You are quick to criticize and judge others. You have nothing to say about Rom. 11 or the Millennial Kingdom? What about the Two Witnesses (evangelists) that are supposed to show up during the Great Tribulation who will influence many Jews to come to Christ? So...

You have some things right and other things not. I just read the other day that Russia has now a ship loaded with hypersonic missiles (6k mph) and headed towards Atlantic and Medditararan. Of course they have Iran, Syria, as their allies, Iran being the number one enemy of Israel. So it is true...

After His resurrection, he walked the land, they touched him, he ate food with them and ascended - like the angels who are spiritual beings and also appear in physical form. Jesus resurrected body is multi-dimensional. He appeared in the upper as if passing through the walls, He materialized. He...

I guess you missed Matthew 24:30-31 too. 1 Cor. 15:52 and 1 Thes. 4:16-17 and I believe Rev. 11:15 is the same one. Keep your mind, eyes and ears open.

This is Preterism or at least Partial- Preterism, so don't try to disown it. Your OP is an accusation that all other views are based on lies and delusions. You interpret the Second Coming as Christ's spiritually knockong on our door, being born again and then again His appearance to us at death...

Sunday morning would be logical and approproate day for our resurrection. But scripture says He comes during the night: "It shall come to pass in that day That there will be no light; The lights will diminish. 7 It shall be one day Which is known to the Lord— Neither day nor night. But at...

Satan came into Judas, He betrayed Jesus, then what ... confessed to the Pharisess - as if that was a confession to Jesus? He committed suicide. Was He born again? No. Those are the Biblical facts. The Apostles took a vote, to replace Judas and came up with Matthias (Acts 1:23) Yet at the...

Disciple means student. Judas did not pass the final examine, he failed, he betrayed Jesus, therefore he did not advance to Apostle. Satan entered Judas to do his deed, which was ordained. Someone had to betray Jesus and for "30 pieces of silver", which was prophetic - he fulfilled that. Was...

Who believes He is delaying? Delay means a change of plan. He doesn't change anything, His plan is perfect and so is His timing. Your main argument scripture is Revelation 1:1., "things that must soon take place". That doesn't mean all things in the book. Chapter 2 & 3 apply to the Seven...

You are beating around the bush, wrestling with the concept of God's hate actually is because I didn't agree with your statement: "Calling it HATE...WHEN, by ANY means, God TAKES the Life of a man.... IS Ludicrous." I am not claiming I know and fully understand God's feelings ir decisions. We...
