What would this say about Trumps "Christianity" if he indeed becomes their 'Cyrus' ???

You seem to be presenting the OT as somehow less inspired. Thanks for your opinion.

Heb 1 also says "Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son..." So it is a 'both and' issue, our record of His Word through the Prophets is equal to the record of the Son's Words. If you think the...

I stay within the domain of what I feel confident to share with others. End times is riddled with speculation and I am not about to join the circus. Not everyone agrees with the proposed interpretation of Luke 14. I was asked to start a bible study - it was not my idea. I prefer to stay...

A matter is understood by considering all of Scripture not just the NT. Here you seem to draw the conversation away from the issue of the Third Temple. I don't particularly mind discussing other issues but ask that this be done on another thread.

End times is not my specialisation - but with Trump positioned to support the rebuild it is a 'now' issue so I speak on that. My essential message is that believers should not support any initiative to build the third temple. Any such rebuild and animal sacrifice for sins, denies the Cross...

No need for sadness... I read Luke 14 carefully and didn't see any direct references to the temple. However the fundamental principles apply in a broader sense for sure. You know it would be a lot more pleasant if folks dealt with the subject matter rather than knocking the person who raises...

Hi Matthew, thanks for your input. I seems to me that Jesus spoke of the birth of the Church in reply to the Samaritan Woman. So this prophesy was fulfilled shortly after it was spoken and was accurate. However matters concerning the return to the Land and a future revival among Jews would...

Can you return the good will I have extended to you and clearly state your question if it fits the criteria.

There is a matter that you might not have considered - Paul spoke fondly of his kinsfolk and the expectation and hope that they would be saved. Further the gathering back to the land after dispersion is mentioned by the prophets. Indeed as predicted the Nation of Israel was 'born in a day'...

Please give precise scriptural quote...

Can you explain this a little more please.

Questions on topic are welcome if they relate to Christian support for the Third Temple. Kindly repeat if you meet this criteria and I have miss-understood.

You seem adept at insinuating evil intent when the discussion deviates from your pleasure... I started the thread and I have a topic to discuss - that is hardly pharisaical.

We are returning to topic... The authority of the Old Covenant priesthood was removed when the Veil was ripped from the top. God was in effect desecrating the second temple indicating an end to temple worship and the beginning of His indwelling believers as His living temple.

Exactly what I am saying... :gd

So you don't think that the emphatic rejection of Christ in Israel by religious Jews and their followers counts for anything ? Jesus did... Do you suppose the ripping of the temple vail was a confirming sign of the continuation of the old covenant temple priesthood ? And are you comfortable to...

Rationally this may appear so... If we attribute perfection to God, then all His actions are Just regardless of how it may appear to the human mind. If we attribute His authorship to Scripture, then even the simple can grasp the salvific message. The rest is for us to grapple the meaning with...

No... you don't see it seems. Quote me where I attributed Evil to God. That is your construct and false accusation. Quote me where I suggested a dualistic relationship between Satan and God... you wont be able to - again false accusation. What is missed is that Jesus is both a Lion and a Lamb.

Deuteronomy 6:15 for the Lord your God in your midst is a jealous God—lest the anger of the Lord your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. 1 Chronicles 13:10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out...
