I was listening to a discussion where a Jewish believer was expounding on various parables. He asserted the idea of "seeing they will not see" and "hearing they will not hear" by speaking in parables was actually an example of grace exhibited by Yeshua. That more revelation requires more...

That would be mostly correct. Paradise at that time was what was called "Abraham's bosom". It was a location that the righteous went and were comforted and taken care of until the future resurrection. The story of the Rich Man and Lazarus details that. I wouldn't go so far as to say it was...

And did you know why Yeshua stated "Father forgive them for they know not what they do."? It is relatively simple if one knows the Torah (Law). In the Torah, if one is guilty of murder, then the next of kin can execute vengeance on the murderer. Not like the State executes judgement we have...

Have you not read the book of Romans? It answers that early on in the book. Folks are judged based on the revelation of God they are given. And the creation itself declares God.

Israel is called YHVH's elect in Isaiah 45. In that same passage, YHVH calls an unbelieving gentile, Cyrus, His Anointed, 150 years before Cyrus was a ruler. Now, for sure, Cyrus was no Messiah by any stretch of the imagination, but that doesn't negate that he was considered YHVH's anointed...

You must only mean the original 10. There are 613 commandments, 248 positive commandments and 365 negative commandments. So I am quite sure that there are some that cannot be kept. Especially those regarding the temple since there isn't one right now. And some commandments only pertained to...

When folks get on this kick, usually they really don’t think it much deeper than the surface. Acts 20, we see the example. It is more than likely the meetings were held on the evening at the end of Shabbat. The first day starts at sundown on Shabbat. A meal that closes the Shabbat, the...

Yeah, it is an interesting thing. Regarding a similarity to this, Daniel said there would be 69 weeks of years from the time the decree went out to restore the city (not the temple which was a different decree), until the Messiah would be cut off. The math has been done by others and...

It's possible there is no significance to 1948. However there might be. Credit for this goes to Grant Jefferies, not me. In Ezekiel 4, the prophet is told to lie on one side then the other, for a total of 430 days, which equals years of punishment for the nation. 70 of those ticked off in...

Many generational time lengths are covered. 1897 - First Zion Congress held - 2017 = 120 years. Time God gave before the great flood of Noah's day. 1917 - Balfour Declaration allowing Jews to return to the land - 2017 = 100 years 1947 listed above. 1967 - Israel recaptures all of Jerusalem...

So it is improper to talk about such things with a expectation and looking forward to His coming? While you may not care, that is not a license to speak against others who do. 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 (NKJV Strong's,) Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the...

Good point. For any of us, this day could be our last. Good reason to start the day off with some time in fellowship with the Lord. Besides, the day just plain seems to go better when we do that.

Where it comes into play is that the days mentioned in Leviticus 23 are Moedim (appointed times) and Miqrah (rehersals) that the Lord has given. Now since the Lord fulfilled the first 4 of these at their appointed time, precisely, it is reasonable to assume that He will fulfill the last 3 in...

I did not originate this concept but it seems to sum things up pretty well regarding faith. We are to pitch our tent with the Lord and learn how He pitches His tent with us. Faith is not simply a belief or trust. It is much more than that. And if one is indeed pitching their tent with...

For grace to cover sin, the sinner must have turned from that sin back to the Lord and sought the grace offered thru Yeshua. Repentance is not just sorry. It is a change of mind and turning away from sin. A criminal, many times, is sorry he got caught, but not sorry for what he did.

I think you are pretty close in that idea of repeating. That was my assertion in suggesting that Revelation is like overlays on a overhead projector or powerpoint presentation. I see it more as Revelation 1-11 then a repeat. Not sure how it could have happened already, as the Temple was...

Well the OP was discussing the rapture, or removal of the righteous. No, I am not convinced that most pastors believe that. Just like on forums, there are many pastors that hold to many various doctrines concerning end times scenarios. Just like the people sitting in the seats. I am not even...

As a side note: The second day is generally referred to as Monday in our sense of things. Now, notice how this 2nd day is the only day of the creation time frame that God did not say it was good. All the other days of creation were declared good. The Lord set the precedence that it is ok to...

And what is the significance of "no man knows the day"? Do you know what it refers to?

But there is more to the story than good 'ol fashioned Christianity. There were many distinct promises that were made in a purely physical, earthly sense that are not related to any "spiritual" condition, and have yet to be fulfilled. None of those verses you posted lend justification for...
