Yes, as do all saints. Do "you"?

Acts 9:32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. They weren't dead. Romans 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. They weren't dead. Romans 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his...

Jesus' response to the disciples' question is instructive. He refers to times and seasons. Exegetically, times and seasons are associated with the day of the Lord, which is the final end of all things temporal. Paul clarifies it. 1 Thessalonians 5 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren...

Bro, you need to be careful. Many premils would take the "17" literally. :laughing:

No, we need you to teach us. You're the one who claims to follow Jesus better than Paul followed Jesus. We need to know how you do that, so that we can do it too. :laughing:

You haven't yet explained how you follow Jesus better than Paul followed Jesus. We'd love for you to teach us, and to learn from you. :laughing:

Your claim is that you think you follow the Lord Jesus better than Paul followed Him.

Philippians 4:9 does not invalidate any of your Scriptures. None of your Scriptures invalidates Philippians 4:9. Nothing is beat up. :laughing: 2 Timothy 3 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in...

The Holy Spirit inspired Paul to write Philippians 4:9. Was the Holy Spirit mistaken?

I don't waste substance. :laughing:

Philippians 4 9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you. Let's be following Paul's example as did the Philippians.

Unquestionably Paul was intimately aware of and familiar with all of the various manifestations of apostasy in the early Church. But now he was foreseeing something entirely unique and unprecedented - a man of sin (and succession thereof, per 2 Timothy 3:17) who would take up residence within...

Marilyn seems to be ignoring you. You should retry. :laughing:

Not "going to". Paul declared, "the mystery of iniquity doth already work". The seeds of iniquity were already being sown, and over the ensuing centuries would reveal the results in the form of the apostate Roman papacy, which would take up residence within the spiritual temple of the Church...

Yes, and He used the same word as in every other occurrence of "naos" that He inspired Paul to write. Every one, the spiritual temple.

If Paul had meant a literal physical temple in 2 Thessalonians 2:4, he would have used "eidóleion" or "hieros/hieron", as he did in the other Scriptures that I cited. Paul wasn't speaking or writing in Acts 7:48.

To reiterate, all of Paul's "naos" temples are spiritual.

Both literal and spiritual.

The man of sin was already setting himself up and seating himself down in the Church when Paul wrote. 2 Thessalonians 2:3-7.

Paul is consistent in his identification of and distinction between the different temples. His "naos" temples refer exclusively to NT believers within the NT Church. Paul's temples: "naos" spiritual: 1 Corinthians 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God...
