Yes--the Romanist Papists have ALWAYS been about political power and control of the masses.

I agree that the Talmud is an odious document but, most Jews are not religious at all today--they don't even read the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible--equivalent to our Old Testament) let alone the Talmud. The Jews are not in control of the world. One Jewish-Christian I know, laughs,"If we are, I...

There's also the fact that there has never been such a Temple as the one portrayed by Ezekiel. Much of the Book of Ezekiel is set in the future (a future that may be close now).

I understand that abuse travels down through the generations but, I think it IS hardness of heart that is always behind it. That must be why the Bible tells us to guard against having a "root of bitterness" in our hearts. For some, the abuse that they suffered led them to develop stony...

In my role as a Biblical counselor, I have spoken to many women who came out of abusive homes. When they can get to the point of saying that what humans meant for evil, God meant for good, they are well on their way to healing. It doesn't at all excuse the abuse but it puts it in perspective...

Yes, when they were taken out of their land (or left it voluntarily), they ceased to be an entity known as the "Tribe of Asher", the "Tribe of Dan," the "Tribe of Gad" etc. The only two tribes who maintained their identity were Judah and Benjamin.

You may be right, CoreIssue. However, many Christians have speculated that the refurbishment will need to be done by God, for various reasons. The massive level of destruction was spoken of by Jesus in Matthew 24 ("no flesh would be left alive" if God does not shorten the time). With a hugely...

John the Apostle said in 1st John that anyone who denies that Jesus is the Son of God is Antichrist--and this, of course, is true of the Jewish religion. But it is also true of Islam. I believe that God the Father will do a work among both Jews and Muslims (in fact, He already is--many of both...

They were called the Ten Lost Tribes by the Jews. The Jews thought more of group identity than we do. We follow the Western tradition of individualism. They weren't lost in the sense that we think of when someone is lost in the forest, for example. When we say it, we mean that we can't...

The Apostle Paul is the type for a born-again Israel. Just as the scales dropped from his eyes, so too will the scales drop from the eyes of the Israelis. Ezekiel prophesied that Israel would begin to gather back in the Land in unbelief but then, God will do a work among them and they will see...

While it is true that the writers of the Bible were all raised in the tradition of monotheism, they also believed that Jesus is God the Son (and said so--especially John the Apostle) and that the Holy Spirit is God as well. When they wrote "God" they typically meant God the Father Almighty "who...

1) Robert Whitelaw is not even theologically trained. He also believes that the Zodiac presented the gospel at Creation. Just because the OT prophets did not understand the prophecies when they gave them, does not mean that they did not come true literally. Jesus was literally the fulfillment...

The fact is that all the OT prophecies that were fulfilled, came true literally. What would make you or your theological friends think that the ones which remain unfulfilled will not come true literally?

I choose not to spiritualize any of the Bible. Show me one instance of Jesus turning "the OT prophecies into symbols of present realities". Sounds like religious claptrap.

Now, what do you propose that means?

There are plenty of verses in the OT that refer to the Kingdom being a physical, mortal kingdom. You do believe in the Old Testament, don't you? The likely reason why there are few references to the Kingdom promised to Israel is because the focus in the New Testament is that God was, at that...

I think tzcho2 is making a play on words. Faux = fake. I actually agree with you on the Trinity. All those Christians who understand what the Bible teaches are Trinitarians.

Those two statements conflict. As for why we should be wary--875 churches have been vandalized in France by Islamic radicals and radical atheists, or both, in recent years in France. There have been numerous incidents of Islamic attacks on French citizens. Why shouldn't we be wary?

That is just silly. Jesus is neither. Both are theological terms invented by imperfect humans. No person holding dispensational views would ever say that Christ's Kingdom is not spiritual. Yes--they did. The Resurrected Christ came in the power of His spiritual Kingdom, did He not...

I just posted a more recent one (from 2014) which points out the differences between Christ coming to rapture His saints and His coming to judge the earth in the Day of the Lord (what is popularly called His second coming).
